{How I Wear My Michael Kors Watch}

It's safe to say my Michael Kors watches (HERE & HERE) are an everyday accessory for me. No matter the style of my outfit, an MK watch is sure to be on my wrist! As you can see from some of my instagram photos above, I love to style my MK watches with fun bracelets -- David Yurman, Oia Jules, RutherfordsByRebecca, DERNG, and BFREND are just a few of my faves that make up my arm parties! What about you? Do you own a MK watch? If so, how do you style yours? Want to know how you can win a new Michael Kors watch?!

Hey darlings! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and happy holiday! The hubby and I are still enjoying ourselves in northern FL... enjoying the fam and reminiscing with old friends. Christmas day was joyous and fun, but over all the presents received this year, I am truly thankful for the things we tend to take for granted - - a roof over my head, a loving husband, a job, food to eat, family and friends that love me, and my health. It's easy to get caught up in the materialistic form of Christmas, especially when you're a blogger and you're constantly surrounded by the lust of clothing, shoes, accessories -- etc. etc. etc.!! ;) But it's really nice to step back and realize the real important things in life, and what we should truly be thankful for. I feel enormously blessed and thank God for all that I have.

If you're still on holiday break, I hope you're enjoying every minute of it! If you're back to the daily grind with work, I hope you are having an awesome start to what will soon be the new year. {Geez, where did 2011 go, right?? Flew by!} xo!
