outfitting: christmas day at the bahia

H&M Button-Up Dress Shirt:
- $24.90 @ H&M
- This piece is a wardrobe staple. It's basic, so it can be dressed up or down with many ways to wear it. I wanted this shirt to be a little loose, so it can be layered over shirts and worn very casually.

George Tweed Vest:
- @ Wal-Mart
- I think this vest is ideally for a polished office look, but if worn unbuttoned and with the back buckle undone, it can be very street casual and fun. The best thing about vests is that they can be worn in with so many different combinations.

Ezekiel Cassandra Dark Indigo Jeans:
- From the Dean
- See Rockin' Dior Like Dad

Bongo Silver Sequined Shoes:
- $14.99 @ T.J. Maxx
- These shoes, which I also bought in black, have become my favorite-wear-all-the-time shoes. They're comfortable and I love the sparkle!

Ellen Tracy Black Neutral Territory Handbag:
- $99.99 @ Marshalls
- See Seenon.com Launch Party, December Nights in San Diego, Marching with Penguins, Surprise at Shakey's, Birds, Birds, Birds Everywhere and Pretty Badass Princess Skulls

On Christmas Day we had brunch with Emil's family at the Bahia Hotel Buffet. The food was plenty and I got pretty full, pretty quick. Then we strolled around the hotel checking out the seals and then boarded the Bahia Belle for a swing around the bay. The boat ride was relaxing and I took a nap on one of the benches on the deck with the warm sun shining on me. Food, sun and Christmas: what more can you ask for?
