Can you believe Christmas is one week from today?! Where did the year go? This fall passed in a flash while I was in London, so it feels surreal to already be heading round the corner to 2016. I head home to Austin a little early tomorrow, as we’re doing a cousin’s Christmas gathering on Sunday and celebrating my sister’s birthday on Monday. I’m looking forward to being in Austin for a little over a week (at least!). I still haven’t decided what to do for NYE, so I may end up staying in Austin even longer than that!

Generally my outfits this time of year revolve around some of the same several basics you see on here often – like my favorite black skinny jeans and leather over-the-knee boots, for example. Recently I’ve been adding on some Christmas-y pops of color like this red bag I got a couple years ago (a classic!), and this oversized plaid scarf (same scarf, different colorway here) I picked up last month. That add the right touch of holiday cheer without taking over the ensemble.

Here are some other festive accessories to wear (or gift!) this season:
