Hey there friends! I hope your Christmas (or Kwanza, Hanukkah, Festivus, or anything else you celebrate) was the best ever 🙂 

 I spent the holidays soaking up some rays in Mexico with my sweet family and friends – which happens to be my favorite of all holiday traditions. To be perfectly fair, the holidays away from the Midwest always seem a little odd. While I love the palm trees and 80 degree weather, there’s a little part of me that misses the coziness of a white Christmas. But there are some pretty sweet perks too – take getting to wear this Vineyard Vines strapless number to celebrate the holidays for example 😉 

In true vacation fashion, the family celebrated the season over happy hour and a few too many margaritas. And while opening gifts is always fun, I was especially thankful for my family and sweet friend Aubrey for making the holidays so good this year. There’s nothing like the holidays to help remind you how amazing your favorite people truly are, and I am oh-so grateful that I’ve got a good group of people to keep me grounded. 

Hope you enjoyed the holidays with those you love! Wishing you and yours the best end of 2014. xx
