What I Wore: Christmas Day

My Christmas outfit!

I was always one of those kids that had to wear all of my new stuff that I open Christmas morning that day. It wasn’t Christmas day if I wasn’t wearing a new outfit. And that obviously hasn’t changed. I couldn’t wait to sport my new Epiphanie camera bag and my new boots that I received for christmas, so I wore them right away that day! 

I love my THEIT Bossi bag, but it is soooo nice to have a second option for when I carry my camera around. My new Epiphanie Lola is so pretty! These two bags are my babies :)

Oh, and these are also the first photos taken with my new 50mm lens! Also a new love.

Copycat

This outfit was straight up copied from Julie of Orchid Grey. She just looked so cozy and stylish, I couldn’t help myself replicating it.

This outfit also happens to be what I wore on Christmas eve. My brother, Boo, and I spent the evening at my dads house for dinner and exchanging gifts. Good times.

Winter White

I thought I had packed this dress away for the season. Its lightweight and airy, and its white. So obviously I thought of it as a summer only dress. 

But then I saw a few other lovely ladies rocking some white during the cold months, and I realized I needed to pull this baby back out from the back of the closet. Some dark tights and cozy sweater easily transformed it into an appropriate winter outfit. And I couldn’t love it more!

Its finally gotten seriously cold here. Fo realz cold.  And all the sudden I don’t remember how to be a style blogger any more. You mean I have to take my jacket off now and look happy and warm and pose all pretty? What?! So, how do I do that again?

Sparkly Things and a Giveaway Winner

IMG_2427

worn on December 17th 2011,

I wore this out and about saturday afternoon. Boo and I thought we would go out, completely not realizing that it was the last weekend before Christmas weekend. Man, oh man, were there a lot of people. Everywhere. 

We ended up stopping into the jewelry store to look at wedding bands. We didn’t actually buy any - we still have a bit before we have to do that. But it was nice to look around and get an idea of what we might like. Plus, I got to try on a lot of sparkly things, so I had fun. I am just a girl, after all.

Repeat Offender : Stripes, Bows, and a Purse I Didn't Know I Had

To see what this repeat offender thing is all about - read my first post.

To see the first time I wore this - go here.  

See that little purse there? Notice that I’ve been carrying it a lot lately? Well, it was actually one of those items that got left behind at my parents house when we moved out to Boston last year, but I rediscovered it when we were home for thanksgiving (yay!). At first, I thought I would sell it in my Smashion shop. But I’ve kind of become attached to it and can’t stop using it. So I don’t think this baby is going anywhere for awhile.

A Few Things

Just a little update on whats going on with this little bloggy here, as well as my etsy shop. 

………………………………………………………………..

First off, I wanted to streamline my blog and shop a little bit. I realized it could be a little weird and confusing that my blog was called HollyDolly, and my shop was just HollyDoll. I honestly don’t know why I ever even went with two different names in the first place. 

So I’ve taken the step and changed my shop name to HollyDolly (or shopHollyDolly) to match the blog.  I’ve also changed to URL to http://www.etsy.com/shop/shophollydolly. But no worries, the old URL will redirect. 

………………………………………………………………..

Well, I finally did it. I gave in and made a Facebook page for HollyDolly. You should head on over and hit the ‘like’ button. No really, you should :)

………………………………………………………………..

Next order of business: sponsors. 

Another step I’ve decided to take is to start accepting sponsors for the blog. A year and a half after my first post, this little baby of mine is growing. Slowly, but surely. I feel, as the new year approaches, it is the right time to bring this is in. 

So, as of this moment I am accepting sponsors for January 2012. If you are interested in sponsoring HollyDolly, shoot me an email at HLKeenan22@gmail.com and I can provide you with all of the information. I am offering very reasonable prices, and I would love to work with you!
