Happy Saturday!  We have one more day in Munich before heading back home.  I can’t even begin to describe how amazing of an adventure the past week has been — from the sights to the tastes to the shopping — I can’t wait to share it all with you soon.  But it hasn’t been all fun and games, from the airline losing my luggage to me subsequently developing a rash from toiletries I purchased as a replacement to the food poisoning I got from what I would’ve said was my favorite restaurant in Paris … let’s just say Europe has been a bit of a cruel mistress, but I love her anyway.  More stories to come!  In the meantime, here’s what’s on my radar this week:

• The end of Christmas marks the beginning of major sales.  Check out my roundup here.
• Time to start thinking about NYE outfits like this open-back LBD or this colorblocked dress.
• Here’s the perfect party skirt, if separates are more your thang.
• I found my new bedtime mantra.
• My #1 New Year’s resolution: make our living room look something like this.  Help please!
• I didn’t realize I needed a bright red coat in my life until I saw Jackie’s post.
• There’s nothing quite like Paris at midnight.
• Do we think this skirt is splurge-worthy?  I’m so torn!
• How to get your life together just in time for 2015.
• And just in cased you missed it, my favorite outfit from earlier this week.

‘Ello loves!  I’m here in London, visiting for very first time EVER!  The trip was off to a rough start when I made it across the pond and my suitcase had not. Apparently, the airline had left half of the passengers’ luggage behind.  New outfit courtesy of United?  That’s cool.  Luckily, my belongings finally made its way here and we’re back to our regularly scheduled program.  Later this week, we’re heading to Paris and Munich and I would love your sights, tastes and activities!  In meantime, here’s what’s on my radar this week:

• Have you entered my giveaway with Yoana Baraschi yet?  Today is THE LAST day, so don’t miss out!
• Happy birthday to the two best friends a girl could ever ask for (don’t hate me for the photo!).
• I’m all about those winter whites this season.
• Because we could all use a cozy sweater this winter … or two.
• How cute is Courtney having a Carrie Bradshaw moment?  Makes me want to bust out my tulle skirt soon!
• Say hello to London splurge #1 and splurge #2.
• 50% off at Ann Taylor!  On my wishlist: this electric blue dress and this furry cream jacket.
• I’ve heard everyone from co-workers to strangers talking about this podcast.  Have you listened yet?
• Obsessed with this necklace I got at my office gift exchange.  Thanks Secret Santa! 😉
• Did you survive the Great Instagram Purge earlier this week?  I say good riddance!
• Grab a last-minute gift or party dress for 40% off!  You can thank me later.
• Wheels up and off we go!

Happy weekend my loves!  Wedding planning is in full swing and the fiancé and I are back in Arizona this weekend to book a venue, take engagement photos and lock down a few other details in our 48 hour trip.  Eep!

Everyone has been asking me how the engaged life is and truthfully, I’m not sure that it’s sunken in yet.  Between work, the blog and now wedding planning, life is moving at lightning speed!  No time to breathe just yet … but when we book a venue and I find the perfect dress, I think I’ll finally get to soak it all in!

Until then, here’s what’s on my radar this week:

I published another video on my YouTube channel — this time, I styled three different outfits to wear to a holiday party.  Be sure to check it out and see my fiancé extraordinaire’s fab video work!

Earlier this week, I got a sneak peak of the cutest holiday pop-up shop you ever did see, hosted by one of my favorites, Roxy of Society Social, and a band of other talented #girlbosses.  Check out #73springshop, open every day through December 13th!

The holidays are almost here and if you haven’t finished your gift shopping, LOFT is having a 40% off sale this weekend (including new arrivals from Lou & Grey!).  I’m obsessing over this sherpa-lined moto jacket and this two-toned tunic if you’re in a gift-giving mood. 😉

Gap is also having a 40% off sale!  Tis the season after all!  I need to get my hands on some of their jackets — especially this quilted knit bomber, this fur trimmed anorak and this knit moto jacket.  So much outerwear … so little closet space.

Okay, one more 40% off sale over at Ann Taylor, just in case you’re not shopping.  They’ve been kind of killin’ it with their sweaters lately.  How cute is this open back sweater?  I’m also loving this modern twist on the fair isle print and you know I’m a always sucker for animal print.

What did you guys get over Black Friday and Cyber Monday last week?  I was so good until about 11:30 PM on Monday night.  I got a little trigger happy and scooped up two pairs of slip-on sneakers (one in black snakeskin and the other in grey wool).  They say when you know what you like, get it in every color, right?

Did you catch me on Aerie’s blog earlier this week?  I was rockin’ an oversized graphic sweater and the cutest little furry pom beanie.  I just scooped up two blanket scarves from them in a holiday red and a cream and green plaid.  Keepin’ it real cozy this winter.

Speaking of graphic sweaters, I’m kind of hooked and am craving another!  They’re such a fun way to add a little pep into your winter wear.  I’m loving this one, this one and this one.

Tracy’s postcards from Paris are making me so excited for our trip over Christmas!  It’ll be our first time in Europe (we’re also going to London and Munich), so your must sees, do’s and eats are needed!
