And The Countdown To My Wedding Begins...

Denis Reggie

Happy to share that my fiancé and I have finally set a wedding date in July. As some of you may know, my father passed away about a month after we got engaged, so naturally a wedding was no longer top of mind for us. Though it won't be easy not having him there, we feel the timing is right. Many of you may be wondering how or why we are only giving ourselves two and a half months to pull this off, and the answer is that we are going for a small, intimate, and simple celebration. Thankfully,  our families will conveniently be in the area for that date. Click below to find out more about my wedding prep and plans...

2 Stylish Holiday Party Looks To Try This Season

Photos by Jenn Camp

'Tis the season for holiday parties, so whether you're looking to make a siren statement or keep it subtle, yet cool, let these two looks with my top beauty picks from Dolce & Gabbana be the inspiration for your next party...

For a high-impact look, pair a classic bright red lip with a matching clutch and nail polish. Add some dimension by contouring your face with bronzing powder, then apply a metallic gold eyeshadow for the final festive touch.

If you want something more low-key, but equally stylish, keep it simple by highlighting your face with a shimmery illuminator for a pretty glow. Try a textured white clutch, silver watch, and chic ring to keep with the cool, understated feel.

Complete both looks with an edgy pearl choker and a quick spritz of Light Blue fragrance before you head out the door. This fresh scent is always uplifting, plus it's a guaranteed conversation starter since I always get asked what I'm wearing when I have it on.

5 Best Looks From The 2015 Golden Globe Awards

1. Diane Kruger in a silver Emilia Wickstead gown.



2. Emma Stone in an embellished Lanvin jumpsuit.



3. Taylor Schilling in a red Ralph Lauren gown.



4. Leslie Mann in a bright yellow Kaufman Franco gown.



5. Kate Hudson in a white low cut Atelier Versace gown.


I have to admit that this year I was underwhelmed. Sure, most looked stylish and polished, but everyone played it safe. There was just no wow factor for me. Diane Kruger's classic, yet modern look is my by far my favorite of the night. I love her Emm Kuo clutch!

This is my take on the perfect holiday party look. I'm crazy for this sheer blush dress and would layer it over a nude satin slip dress to complete the look. A spritz of my favorite scent and I'm good to go. Question is: go with a top knot, messy waves or sleek ponytail?
