Baby, it’s cold outside! So, what’s a girl to do when she needs to dress up, but the weather isn’t cooperating? Find a razzle dazzle holiday snazzle pair of pants, that’s what! Dinner at the in-laws? Last minute get-together with friends in town? This is your outfit. It’s festive, it’s cozy, it’s not trying too [...]
This morning I woke up to a dusting snow on the ground and a little more Christmas spirit in my heart. So, I’ve reserved the afternoon for gift-wrapping, holiday card writing, and this little bit of holiday cheer that has become my new favorite cozy cocktail… I hardly ever indulge in things like mochas and [...]
Camille Iman This looks absolutely delicious, I think I’ll have to try on Christmas Eve!
Yelle Yum! I’ve never had snap but I bet it makes this delicious!
Cecilia Snap! I love this!! 
Hannah Yummy, this looks so delish! Thanks for sharing x
Franki CHEERS!! franki
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures Yuuuuummy!!!!!
Lisa This does look delicious. At first I thought it said the MERCY mocha.. And I was thinking this was headed in a more depressing direction!!!! However, I must admit, that if it was the mercy mocha, I am sure this recipe would go a long way in cheering someone up
Diana This sounds like the perfect pick me up during a chilly night!
Chloe Moon OOooo sounds yummy!!!
I don’t know about you, but the last few weeks I’ve had plenty of parties to attend, and none of them to dress up for! The casual cookie exchange, the girls-only white elephant. I’m ready for something a little more fancy so I can deck my halls, if ya know what I mean… Why should [...]
Julie Cute dress, lovely makeup!
Chelsea Gorgeous as always, Cassandra!

Jessica Hi Cassandra,
I was trying to look back through the pages at some of your posts, but when I click on page 2, it does not take you to December posts. Rather it take you all the way back to November.
Thank you for your help!
Cassandra LaValle Post author hi jessica! i have no idea why it would do that! what type of browser/tech are you using? on my blog, if you’re all the way down at the bottom, you should be able to just hit ‘next’ to get to the later posts… i will look into it!
coolvanity You look amazing! ,beautiful!. Kisses.
Bianca @ A Fabulous Challenge I LOVE that green necklace! It’s absolutely stunning and the color looks great on you! Doesn’t J. Crew have the best accessories, ever?!

These days, it’s starting to feel not quite enough to simply escape the city to suburbia during the holidays. In my head, I’m ready to run off to the country, turn off my phone, and enjoy the peace and quiet and wide open spaces… How lovely would it be to rent a big house with [...]
Chelsea This is my idea of perfection! Have a lovely weekend

Teri Your last picture is from Victoria Magazine, years and years ago! I loved it, had it in my inspiration file for years…
A couple of days ago I received a text message from one of my girlfriends that said “I’m in my coco+kelley PJ’s… thank you SO much again, I am extra cozy tonight!” Nope, I didn’t get into the PJ design biz while you weren’t looking. What she was referring to were the ultra soft, insanely comfy [...]

LifeLoveLuxe I’d be quite happy if Santa Baby left every one of these under my tree!!
So, it turns out that when it comes to the holidays, fashion is not the only place I tend to get a liiiiittle carried away… Because if you’re putting this much effort into topping your outfit, shouldn’t you also be topping your presents with something fabulous? So, I put together a fun and easy holiday [...]
The cornerstone to any great tabletop is a fabulous floral arrangement. And, while I like to dabble in designing my own centerpieces, I’m nowhere close to the talent that we have guesting here today! I’m so thrilled to have the fabulous Kiana Underwood of the boutique floral design studio Tulipina here to show us, in [...]

Andi of My Beautiful Adventures STUNNING!!!!
Erin | Holtwood Hipster It’s truly an art to arrange floral so beautifully, but these steps really help break it down so it’s not too intimidating. Great profile on this arrangement- formal enough without being too stuffy!
