Hi Sugarplum!

(Holiday Dresses) Need More Green

December 15, 2015

Thank you so much for your lovely words on yesterday’s Tales & Traditions post! I’m thrilled you enjoyed our mantel styling, and loved hearing your cherished traditions, as well. Although, at the rate I’m shoving back the Christmas Crack, there won’t be any left for Santa!

Between life, family, home, work and blog…I have been feeling a little lot overwhelmed lately. But I’m not willing to slow down in any one area…I love all of it too much. As you know from your own busy lives, it’s a lot to keep up with all the time, and sometimes we have to ask for help! #Isurrender

You may have noticed the upgrade in many of my photos lately, and that’s thanks to the super-talented and insanely-darling, Mary Summers. I fell in love with her Instagram feed first, chock full of her stunning travel images, and was thrilled to find out she shoots for bloggers, as well (when she’s in town, anyway!). 

I first worked with her on this {Date Night Style} post, and we became instant friends, frequently meeting for lunch, or double-dates. I begged her to jump into Interiors photography, and you may recall just how stunning her images of our {One Room Challenge} turned out. #lifesaver

I’ve always preferred creating collaboratively (again, like our {One Room Challenge} with Kristin and Dara), so blogging sometimes feels isolating to me. Working with Mary more frequently has been the small piece of the relief I needed…not only does she provide great photography and photo-editing, but also girlfriend time I’ve been missing.

Case in point, Mr. SP and I met her last week to shoot our recent {Date Night Style} Holiday Edition…then the three of us followed it up with lunch. As we were saying goodbye, we spotted this charming staircase, and next thing I knew, I was squeezing into this green dress (it was in my car to return), and we covertly whipped out a few quick shots. #bloggernonsense

After inhaling a giant, delicious, so-worth-it cheeseburger, the dress was a little tight…but breathing is overrated, right? The dress is so lovely (and currently on sale!), I thought I’d share it in case you’re still on the lookout for great holiday looks.

Floral Jacquard Sheath Dress (similar here & here) | Shoes | Clutch (similar) | Bracelet
Ring | Earrings (on sale for $4!) | Necklace (similar 20% with code SUGARPLUMFINAL20)

You may recall I was waffling between this one and the black lace dress, and I loved reading your opinions on both Facebook and Instagram of your favorite. I wish I could keep both!

I’ve had these pearls for years, but just added this darling pearl cluster necklace to my collection, and know I’ll wear it non-stop. Use code SUGARPLUMFINAL20 for 20% off your entire order, guaranteed for Christmas! But hurry, deal is only good for 24-hours! Now is your chance to grab this coveted necklace and my favorite leopard cuff!

You could easily make the dress work-appropriate by swapping the strappy shoes for pumps (like these), and adding this wear-everywhere blazer.

I’ve missed photographing with Mr. SP and my son lately, but thanks to the earlier sunsets, it’s been near-impossible to catch either of them at home while there’s still daylight! But don’t worry, while the photos may be better in some posts, this blog will remain my voice, my ideas and opinions, and my creative home. Have you had to ask for help lately? How do you delegate to get everything accomplished?

Happy Tuesday, lovebugs, see you back here tomorrow for our full Christmas Home Tour!
