It seems a little surreal that Christmas is just 5 days away. I am ready and I am not ready. In an effort to feel more in the holiday spirit, I have been trying to create festive outfits, but ones that would also work post-holiday season. Reds and greens and whites with splashes of plaids and animal prints have been the things drawing my attention recently. And you all know my fondness for colorful tights. Brightly colored legs are definitely putting me in the holiday mood!

Like most fashion-conscious friends I know, I often go scouring Pinterest for inspiration every now and then. I was on a recent quest for some cute outfit ideas featuring red tights. And this is when I discovered Taylor of Little Blond Book. I did not know Taylor previous to my Pinterest discovery but when I spotted her adorable outfit combining a cream colored dress and coat with red tights, I was an immediate fan. It took some searching to find the exact link to Taylor’s look that I found on Pinterest, but I was diligent in my search so that I could give proper credit and accurate linking. Her Haute Holiday outfit is from the Winter of 2013. And even though it is 6 years old, it is still perfectly relevant and completely on trend.

So what I have discovered about Taylor in just the short time that I have known of her blog is that she is wife to Chris and momma to three little cuties. She is a southern girl currently residing in Georgia with her beautiful little family. She began her blog in 2013 as a creative space to share the things she loves. She was just dating her husband at the time. And now that she has this wonderful little family, her blog is her outlet to share her favorite things which include her children, her personal style, home decor, her love of flowers and gardening, coffee, skincare, and makeup. I have lots more exploring to do around Little Blonde Book, but I really like everything I have seen so far! You can find Taylor on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest.

Jeff returns home tonight after his two weeks in Georgia. And quite honestly, I am pooped! With Christmas right around the corner, I think I may take a little blogging break until after the holidays except for December 30 when the Fab 40’s return with a very special post. But I have said that before and then I get all inspired and keep posting. Let’s see if I can manage to actually walk away from it for a few days or a week. If you don’t hear from me until after the holidays, I wish you all many blessings this Christmas and all the best in the New Year.

“As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year.”

Jennifer of Effortlessly Sophisticated shared the most adorable Christmas outfit in her post, Perfect Holiday Party Dress. I just love the shade of red and the metallic stripes in this adorable dress. Jennifer is the image of a beautiful Christmas doll who would look perfectly in place on top of a Hallmark Christmas tree!
