Happy New Year! Hope everyone got some well-deserved time off and got to recharge for the new year! I am ready and back stronger than ever for 2018! It's been quite the busy last two weeks. I was at my parents home for Christmas for a few days and then we flew out to Arizona to spend New Years with my in-laws so we've been out here for a little under a week. The weather is soo nice here - it's been getting up to 75 each day. I've been hearing that the east coast is absolutely freezing! I hope our flight back tomorrow goes smooth. Long story short from Philadelphia to Arizona there was a maintenance issue with the plane and we were stuck at the airport for 7.5 hours. It honestly really sucked and unfortunately American Airlines did not provide sufficient compensation (anyone else have to deal with this before?!). Anyways I'm going to put that behind me as I didn't really get anywhere with their horrible Customer Relations department. Luckily we are flying Southwest home so I'm really optimistic it'll be a better experience.

One trend I am loving for winter is the velvet skirt trend. This blush skirt from Target is absolutely stunning and for under $20 it's quite the steal. I wanted to keep the look soft so I paired the skirt with a cream color pullover and nude heels which helps to tie the look together. I linked a few of my other favorite velvet skirts below!
