Christmas Outfit, Recipe, and Cocktail Collaboration Post + *A Few of Our Favorite Things* Giveaway!!

Hello Loves!!  Happy Hump Day!  

In the spirit of Christmas, I am teaming up with my dear friend Lauren from Pockets Full of Happiness to bring you our biggest and best post yet!  This post is jammed packed with Christmas goodies, including a Christmas party look, a delicious recipe, and an exciting cocktail!  To top it all off, we are giving away 'A Few of Our Favorite Things"!!  Check out all of the goodies and then enter in the giveaway through the rafflecopter below!  Good luck!  

First up is my Christmas Party Look.  I went for a more formal look and loved it.  I think this look is so elegant and would fit in anywhere, whether it's a Christmas party at a restaurant or even at someone's house.  I actually used a black lace dress for my top and put this long gold maxi skirt over it.  I added gold and silver accessories and a black clutch.  I think sparkly is a must for holiday parties.  I usually add sparkle through jewelry, but you can see I also added it here in my clutch and belt.  The clutch is a bit hard to see, but there are rhinestones on the clasp.
