Outfit of the Week: No. 50

Holiday celebrations are well under way and you no doubt have a few you are going to have to or want to attend. However, why not shop for dresses or clothing that you can wear to other special occasions throughout the year? With the end-of-the-year sales in full swing, Osman’s crepe dress above, while still an investment, is available at a beautiful deal, as are the Gianvito Rossi suede pumps which can be worn with more casual outfits as well. Keep it simple with one statement accessory, and you will appear effortlessly chic.

As the holiday season has arrived, finding unique, style-minded cards is always on my to-do list. Last weekend I discovered three websites to check out – full of creative sophistication or fashion illustrations, be sure to check out their everyday stationery as well: Paper Finger, Ann Scott Designs, and Verrier Boutique

The first week in December and Christmas and the end of the year are approaching much too fast. With books to sign and ship out this weekend, it looks like it might be a work weekend, but a work weekend I am very thankful to have. Many of you have been patiently waiting for your pre-order, and please know it will be on its way soon (an email will be sent notifying you of its shipping details).

However, as soon as I can, I will be beginning my holiday shopping, planning gifts to give to family, friends, colleagues and neighbors, and getting excited about adding unexpected cheer to those I feel so fortunate to have in my life.

Other readers have already shared their books arrival on Instagram, and I can’t thank you enough for your kind comments. Do remember, I am collecting the many readers’ pics and organizing them into a Flipagram to be shared on my Instagram account in the coming weeks, so do be sure to partake. How? Snap a photo of your book and how you enjoy reading it, then tag with @thesimplyluxuriouslife #mysimplyluxuriouslife. Who knows, your pic may be shared with TSLL’s thousands of followers. Prefer to share a review on Amazon? Readers’ comments and thoughts are greatly appreciated – whatever they might be.

I hope you too are looking ahead to a lovely festivity-infused weekend with delicious food to enjoy, company to appreciate and leisurely pursuits to revel in. Below are two videos I think you might enjoy. First, two talented singers blend their voices on stage at this past week’s CMA Country Christmas to sing a favorite tune you might recognize, and second, actress Amy Adams, Vogue’s December cover girl, answers 73 questions about her favorites, her past and everything in between. Until Monday, bonjour.
