- Per my usual last-minute antics, I just ordered my holiday cards last night! Minted has a gorgeous selection of gold foil (and silver and rose gold, too!) cards and I thought the “Warm Wishes” looked so cute with the Santa Hat and hot cocoa. If you’re in the same boat as I was, you can order on Minted through this weekend to receive by 12/19, which is plenty of time to get them out before the holidays. I’ve done “New Years” cards in the past, which are a great option if you’re swamped before the holidays! (I love this card, this card, and this card.)
- I teared up reading one of Hallie’s most recent posts. So, so, so many bits of fabulous wisdom. I feel so lucky to call this gal my best friend!
- Loving Julia’s holiday decor!
- This UPS holiday video is SO CUTE!
- This article is one of those that makes you stop and reflect.. Read it! How To Ruin Your Life (Without Actually Noticing That You Are)
- Loving this cute & casual look on Mackenzie! And so, so glad I picked up this Old Navy vest a few weeks ago.
- I’ve been sleeping in this sweatshirt all week. So insanely comfy! And so long, too! One of those you can wear around the house without pants if you so choose. 😉
- I am OBSESSED with Michael’s Navy Blue Christmas Tree. You have to see it to believe it!
- Apparently it’s been a good week for my pajama game. I ordered this robe and OH MY GOD it is wonderful. When I got it out of the box and put it on, I’m sure my neighbors probably thought something else was going on in my apartment. So, so good. I don’t know what the material is on the inside, but it is amazing.
- Why You Should Move To A New City Where You Don’t Know A Single Soul
- I love reading articles about my Alma Mater. This School In Rural Illinois Has Produced Some Of The Most Amazing Visionaries In Tech
- I don’t know what I would do with this sequin ribbon, but I feel like I need it.
- I switched to this eyeliner three weeks ago and I’m obsessed! I used to use this one, and while my new one is a bit more pricey, I feel like it’s so much better for me since I just do my waterline.
- My Kate Spade Santa Hat (in the picture above) is on sale!
- These sequin ornaments at H&M are too good to pass up.
- Lululemon has sequin-printed pants. YES PLEASE!
- On a random note, I’m in desperate need of a new eye cream. Preferably one that targets dark circles and a bit of puffiness. Any suggestions?!
Have a wonderful weekend! xo

Hylexin is the only thing that has worked for my VERY dark under eye circles. Only place to get it now is Walmart, go figure…
I’ve heard the Clinque’s dark circle eye cream is wonderful. It has caffeine in it and caffeine in my products is a no-go for me. But I’ve heard that the caffeine is a great touch to wake you up which is always nice!
Amazing !

Hi Jessica! I’m a new reader of your blog and I absolutely love it! Thank you for a great daily dose of fashion, NYC, and useful tidbits!
I adore the Clinique All About Eyes line. The cream is great to use at night and they make a wonderful de-puffing serum in a rollerball that cools; perfect to use in the morning.

Mario Badescu eye gel is great for puffiness and even better if you leave it in the fridge and put it on in the morning. Puffiness be gone!
I love the sweatshirts and sequin ornaments!! Too cute!

Get out of TOWN!? Thank you for the fabulous shout out!!! You seriously made my weekend! Happy Holidays 🙂
Girl, Trish McEvoy beauty booster eye cream and serum. One of thee most amazing skin care purchases I made this year. I can actually leave the house without concealer and not be embarrassed. After a couple of days, it was like whoa. The price isn’t for the weary, but it’s magic. I swear.
Such a cute card! Happy Holidays!

As for eye creams… I use Origins ginzing to wake up my under eye area. I’ve heard amazing things about Kiel’s facial fuel eye de-puffer too!

Love love love that Kate Spade hat! A great eye cream for the mornings that is BRILLIANT for dark circles and puffiness is the First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Action, which you can get at Sephora. I did a review on my blog if you are interested. I highly recommend it!
