Hot cocoa, ice skating, the smell of fresh pine, red plaid and sequins: just a few of my favorite things for the holidays! I was inspired to combine the last two (red plaid and sequins) in a festive look for today's post with REEDS Jewelers. My inspiration is perfectly demonstrating how to wear this look with tights, and I could see this combo working with pretty much any plaid colors.     

Today's festive look marks the launch of something exciting - REEDS $500 Holiday Memories Giveaway. To enter, create a Pinterest board titled “My REEDS Holiday Memories” and then submit your entry here. The contest ends January 1. I’m not eligible to win, however, I created my own Pinterest board to share some favorite holiday outfits, décor and more. Click the image below (or here) to view and pin from my board.

I also teamed up with REEDS to feature this gorgeous gold Michael Kors bracelet. It’s the perfect pairing with my watch from 4 Christmases ago, and one of my favorite kinds of gifts to give and receive this holiday season. What are some of your favorite things about the holidays? Leave links to your holiday Pinterest boards in the comments – I’d love to see them!
