Learning To Slow Down During The Holidays

Merry Christmas to all of you! We hope you are having the best time with your families. Even though we are Jewish, and don’t formally celebrate Christmas, we take this time to spend quality time with our family. As you all know, we work a ton of hours, especially this time of year. Since most of the holiday sales craziness is coming to an end, we are taking this time to slow down a little bit! To be honest, it is a tough thing for us to do because we are so type-A, and always put in 110%.

Since we are always “go-go-go”, it is nice to have a few days where we don’t post as much on Instagram, spend more time with family and friends, take some time for some self care, and enjoy this special time.

We would be lying if we said it wasn’t difficult to put stuff away, and be present. It is ingrained in our personalities, and always has been, to always be doing something. We can’t ever seem to sit still, or feel like we have made enough progress to feel satisfied being “done for the day”.

There are definitely some people (most people) that are able to “shut it off”, but that isn’t us most of the time. We remember being younger and would organize our bathroom and rooms for hours, cleaning stuff out, even when it was pretty late. We just have always had that determination.

So, the point is, we are really trying to make an effort to go on that walk without our phones, actually watch a movie without any distractions, take some time to read magazines and do that face mask we had been wanting to do for a while. If you all are feeling the same way, take this time to do the same thing for yourself!

Now, about this look, which is the most important part! 😉 These sparkle, embellished pointed flats are so perfect for winter, and also to transition into spring with. The color goes with everything (we are wearing the”dusted plum” color). We got a size 7 for reference.

We dressed up these black ripped jeans with this metallic bag (actually holds a lot and can be dressed up or down!) and this sparkly twisted turban. We honestly thought it was a headband at first, but this one is so different and fun!

We threw on this suede jacket over this cami for a fun, dressed up denim look perfect for a more casual NYE, or date night!

We got all of these cute accessories (perfect for the new year!!) at Sole Society. Their pieces are all at a great price point (usually under $100), and how cute are they?! We would say 90% of our shoes, bags, and accessories are from them, and they are by far, our go to!
