If you haven’t fallen in love with velvet yet this year, you will most definitely fall hard when you purchase these sneakers! They not only let you walk for days in comfort, but they’re so luxe with all their velvet and satin ribbon laces details. And let me just rave about their price point UNDER $90! You may be seeing many of the low top velvet slip on sneakers running around town, but high tops are one of my favorite trends making their head turning debut.

Even though most of us have had a short work week, I still feel as if my head is spinning (most of the day today I truly believed it was Wednesday). This shirt dress is my go to for looking casually cute and leaving me with only one clothing item to worry about putting on! Not to mention, it’s quality and not flighty like others that sometimes fly up in the most opportune moments. This lovely plaid number will not disappoint on those days you want to look put together minimal effort!

My New Year’s blog post talked about striving for bigger and better content for Gracefully Sassy! I am over the moon to tell you, January is going to be packed with many great things you will benefit from. Amazing finds, coupons exclusively for you, and even the nitty grity of beauty products. You have been and continue to be an wonderful support system for me I am working my tail feather off to give you MORE MORE MORE in 2017.

Cheers to You Lovely, I hope you find inspiration this year to pursue whatever passion you have!

Yet again, we are nearing the end of the year. My New Years Resolution for 2016 was to chase my fashion passion and launch my Style Blog. I can successfully say as I sit here and type this post I am so grateful that I was able to accomplish this dream of mine.

I have not been this behind on thinking about next year’s resolution in a few years, but after much thought this afternoon I finally had the “ah ha” moment. 2017 will be nothing short of fantastic for Gracefully Sassy because I will settle for nothing less! I have many ideas that I have ping pong around with and I plan to go for it because you will most definitely benefit from it. I will show more of my tips and tricks for owning the fashion game, and how to do it without breaking a sweat. As a person who battles high anxiety, I am going to work even harder to overcome that negative part of myself to bring amazing styles, events, and posts to you . I thought what better way to be sure to accomplish this than blog about it so you can help me stay on track…. yeah this is no going back now lol. Also, please, please do tell me anything you would like to see more of or anything in particular you would like me to talk about. For me, hearing feedback from you means so much and gives me the burst of energy to give you great content when I hit a rut!

I can’t say THANK YOU enough for supporting this little blog of mine. It means so much to have your support as I put my whole heart into ever post. As any blogger can tell you, we lay it all out there at times knowing we can get negative feedback, but you have showed such love for Gracefully Sassy. I promise to invest even more of my creative spirit into this blog in the New Year as a token of my appreciation for your love. My deepest hope for you in this new year is for you to pursue the passion you have in 2017. If you ever need any advice or help along the way I am your gal. I know the fear of failing can feel too much at times, but plain and simple “You got this!”. Make 2017 the year of you!

Happy New Year Lovelies! My next post will in the new year. CHEERS TO YOU

Christmas Day Sass

T-Minus 3 sleeps and it’s Christmas morning! If you’re like me, yes I am fully aware there is no Santa, BUT I still shoot up out of bed bright and early to huddle by the Christmas tree. It is just fun, (so I am sticking my tongue out to all your grinches you don’t agree) and I enjoy the moment with a seasonal brew that also has hints of Bailey’s! #adultingatitsfinest

After all the child like present unwrapping and watching the parade, I then become an adult. This includes the perfect Christmas Day outfit. If you haven’t seen the latest trends of over sized sweaters, cold shoulder tops, plaid, and over the knee boots… well, you are seeing all those things in one NOW! These are some of my personal favorite trends this season and I thought what better way to tell y’all about it then doing a full post on it. These boots are UNDER $50, and I scored this skirt for less than $15 (it is now sold out, but has this VERY similar look for less than $20)! Talk about sassy deals to look every bit like a fashionista!

P.S. if you need absolutely anything festive, you can head straight over to Charming Charlie because they have it all! And you can snag any last minute Christmas gifts that you may have not been able to Amazon Prime in time. I was able to get this wristlet and sunnies for less than $20 together.

I Hope you enjoy everything festive and happy this time of year with your loved ones! Merry Christmas from myself, Kyle, and PoBoy Daniels.. yes he loves all the followers of Gracefully Sassy lol.

Last Minute Gift Guide For Him

December 21, 2016

My Look: Jumpsuit: Shein (UNDER $20)
Kyle’s Look: Target, in stores (similar) // Watch: JORD Wood Watch

This year for Christmas I wanted to give my husband all the heart eyes I could, but being that we’re on more of a budget than normal I had to think outside of the box! He has always had a fascination with wood styled accessories for Men. When I fell upon JORD wood watches, I instantly knew I would be wife of the year with this gift.

When you receive your JORD watch like this one that Kyle has, you will feel as if you are opening a Rolex. JORD takes the time to perfect every piece of their product, even down to the packaging. Let’s just say, that the box his watch came in is now his side table jewelry box that he treats very preciously! It warms my heart at how happy this men’s watch gift made him and I know he truly loves it, as will the special person you purchase a JORD Wood Watch for.

I recently did a giveaway on my Instagram for gift cards to JORD for you to snag yourself or a special someone the perfect gift! Ladies, these women’s watches are perfect for you too, don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. Both men and women stop Kyle and I when we are out and about asking us about this gorgeous watch.

JORD has offered you my lovely followers an instant e-gift card of $25 that ends tonight. Also, you can receive expedited FREE SHIPPING by making purchase by 2:00pm CST TODAY!

*Hint Hint* I will be doing another giveaway for gift cards if you’re still in the market for buying him a wonderful and gorgeous watch for Valentine’s Day (which is only 57 days away). You can never be too prepared lol. I say this because I am just now finishing my Christmas shopping and the big day is a little too close for comfort #thestruggleisreal.
