My best friend got married a couple weekends ago so Christian and I drove the 8 hours down to Virginia to celebrate! The wedding was held at a cidery in Charlottesville. The building looked like a Winter wonderland with string lights on the ceiling and snow covered trees around the hall. There was even a hot chocolate booth so you could make your own drink and one of the favors was ingredients for s'mores (fire pits were lit in the evening!)

Luckily for her, the weather was BEAUTIFUL! It had been rainy/foggy the evening before but on the day it was unseasonably warm and partly cloudy (perfect for outdoor photos.) It only rained a teeny bit during the reception, but everyone was safely inside.

I bought this black Joie dress back in August for a steal ($40) at Marshalls and was waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it. My mom talked me out of wearing it to my cousin's wedding in October because no one wears black to weddings (but they do, haha.) A couple weeks before the wedding I sent my friend a couple dress options and she liked them all so I decided to finally wear this! In anticipation of it being cold I topped it with a teal velvet blazer to add some color and make it dressier.

Dress: Joie 'Johnesha' black polka dot tiered dress (Marshalls, shop more Joie dresses), Velvet Blazer: Darjoni (Good Will, shop more blazers), Heels: Dolce & Gabbana suede Mary Jane Pump (Uptown Consignment, similar pair), Simple Pearl Necklace c/o AURate (shop delicate necklaces), Earrings: Mejuri 'Loop' (designed by my friend Jamie-Lee!),

Happy Christmas Eve! For this week's throwback look I decided to rewear what I wore on Christmas Even in 2012! That year I went a little more casual than usual with jeans so it was easy to wear the look for my regular day-to-day activities. And this is all the same pieces I wore, except the jeans. I do still have the jeans in this outfit but I wore a new pair instead. Lydia was kind enough to help me with these outfit photos so of course I look way better than normal. ;)

Friday again! This week actually went by pretty quickly, which I am glad of. I've been super tired lately and waking up at 5:30 wasn't helping the situation. Thankfully I was able to stay home yesterday too so I caught up on a little more sleep since I was able to sleep until 9. But  now I can have a nice, relaxing weekend! So far no plans, I'll probably catch up on all the old movies I have DVR-ed.

I have a nice backlog of outfit posts going for me, we'll see how long that lasts.  Anywhoo, I wore this the weekend before Christmas to go see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug with my best friend.  So good! People always expect me to say Harry Potter movies are my favorite, but it's actually the magical land of Middle Earth that holds my heart in films. (in books, however, it's Potter all the way.)

It was on the warmer side this day so I decided to forgo a coat and wore a sweater with a blazer.  And I had to wear my new favorite shoes even though there was rain in the forecast. Luckily the rain didn't come until I had made it home. I did have a backup pair of shoes in the car ready for action.

Yesterday I posted my Christmas Day outfit, today I'm sharing Christmas Eve. A roundabout way to do it, but that's okay! This London Times dress has quickly become my go-to holiday outfit. I wore it for Thanksgiving and now for Christmas.  I'm also wearing an awesome bracelet watch that Born Pretty sent me before Christmas. I have a thing for animal jewelry so I was so excited to see it is a snake! Born Pretty is also offering everyone 10% off with code MEGANBC10.  You can get anything from a great women’s watch to a new iPhone 5 case.

And: Happy New Years Eve! I hope you all have more exciting plans than me. I'll be sitting at home all by my lonesome.  But I like a low key night so it's fine by me.
