50 Days From Christmas

Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday and I want to give it the attention that it deserves. You may have noticed that Christmas gift guides are starting to flood your social media. I definitely have. Even though it’s very tempting, I don’t want to stress about all of the Christmas content until closer to December. With all of that said though, I want to give readers what they want to see and I know that Christmas is already heavy on a lot people’s minds.
Christmas is only 50 days away! David and I have our travel plans to Vermont booked, but that’s pretty much the only thing I’m ready for. My gift shopping won’t happen until after Thanksgiving. Cyber Monday is when I do most of my heavy lifting. I am looking forward to all of the holiday dressing though. My shopping cart is full of cheerful reds and festive plaids, in almost obscene levels. I cannot wait for all of the holiday invites to start rolling in so I can dress as merry as I feel.
A few brands have become my front-runner when it comes to shopping for the season. Each year, I impatiently anticipate their holiday new arrivals because they have pretty much perfected them! Some are classic, some are more kitschy, but they are just right for Christmas. Let’s take a look at my top three shopping destinations and favorite pieces…
Vineyard Vines:
Not to seem impatient, but I actually walked into the Vineyard Vines store at Grand Central Station to ask them when they would be releasing their holiday collection. That was still in October and I have no shame! Little did I know, I only had to wait a few days more. I have gift card that is burning a whole in my pocket, but I’ve been saving it for this very reason.
J. Crew
If I had to pick a number one favorite, it may have to be J. Crew. It makes up a good bulk of my wardrobe. They also have so many unique pieces and styles for the holiday season. Classic plaids? They have it. Romantic laces? They have that too. They even have all kinds of shimmery numbers if you have a more glam affair to attend.
Draper James:
Reese Witherspoon, you have done it again! This is a relatively new member to my holiday shopping list. Earlier this week, they unleashed their holiday collection and I instantly swooned. When it comes to Christmas, I’m really partial to plaids and Draper James has so much to offer. I can’t wait to get my hands on one of their new dresses for the season.
Honorable mentions would go to Talbots, J. Crew Factory, H&M, and Tuckernuck. No matter your price point, the holidays are such a fantastic time to dress to the nines and look your merriest. After all, no one looks bad in Christmas cheer!
