Cheers to the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Hi there friends! I hope you had an awesome weekend. Mine was super festive and I got to spend some quality time with other local ATX bloggers both on Friday night (doing this shoot) and at a holiday party at my house on Sunday. I invited a few other girls over and had so much fun introducing friends from different parts of my life to one another! ‘Tis the Seas… I think I’ll be saying that on repeat ;)

Friday night 9 Austin Bloggers teamed up on a chilly afternoon to bring you our favorite Holiday styles.  Funny enough, we did not coordinate our outfits! We just showed up in this perfectly matching/contrasting color scheme… Great minds think alike! For real. You might not have guessed it based on this picture, but in this moment we were FREEZING! Think 40 degrees and windy. Thank goodness for champs, layers (in between pictures), and you guys… (ha!). We sipped champagne, warmed our extremities by the fire pit, laughed a ton, and then celebrated with a dinner after at Boiler 9. It was everything. I love these girls!

Keep on scrolling for details from everyone’s ensembles and links to each of their AMAZING BLOGS! :)
