Ahhhhh it's New Year's Eve!!!
I feel like I was so caught up with Christmas being over so quickly, I completely overlooked the fact that 2015 is basically OVER! I feel like I was just celebrating 2014 being over?? Oh time, you tricky thing.

With a new year, comes a new need for a new wardrobe, right? It's technically still the holiday season so that means holiday shopping is still totally socially acceptable. As the countdown to midnight begins, we find ourselves overwhelmed with festive gatherings that require new style pieces. Enter Zappos’ Style Room: your one stop shop for looks and brands for every shape, taste, and size! The Style Room is a collection curated just for you--ranging from contemporary, classic, and designer fashion brands. They have everything you need to look stylish and classy--whether you're updating your staple holiday pieces or finding just the right dress and shoes to help ring in 2016!

I used The Style Room to create my outfit for today's look! I really wanted an outfit that made me feel comfortable in my own skin and this look did just that! A pair of black slit-knee jeans and some black ankle-length booties have been on my wish list for a while now so I was so excited to be able to finally add those things to my 2015 wardrobe! I'm also revamping my obsessed with turtleneck and cowl neck sweaters with this cowl neck thermal, that is both adorable and comfy. I feel like 2016 will be a year for new beginnings and self discovery and I'm all about looking fab while doing so.

Zappos has a promise of fast, free shipping, 365 day return policy and the BEST world class customer service. I've ordered multiple times through Zappos and each time I've experience impressive customer service. You can tell they really care about each of their customers having the best shopping experience they can have.

Make sure you check out Zappos' Style Room this new year for your wardrobe makeover. You'll be impressed and obsessed with all the fashion forward pieces they have to make you shine and sparkle this 2016.

Happy New Year, friends!

Cheers.

Thanks to Zappos for sponsoring today's post!

Winter Chill w/ Evereve: Look 3 + $100 GIVEAWAY!

Tuesday, December 29, 2015


Dress: BB Dakota c/o Evereve [similar here and here]
Beanie: Free People c/o Evereve
Tights: similar
Boots: Thrifted! [similar]

Welcome to the third and final Look of my Winter Chill series with Evereve! :)
If you missed Look 1 and 2, view them HERE and HERE.

This has been such a fun series for me because I got to show off my sporty chic side with these super comfy and cute outfits! I'm obsessed with this BB Dakota plaid dress because of how casual it is--I can wear it grocery shopping, clothes shopping, car shopping, basically any kind of shopping, hehe. The buffalo plaid design also screams Winter for some reason--I feel like I just associate plaid with the colder seasons? Maybe because most of the time plaid clothes are super cozy and warm. :) Also, this Free People pom beanie just adds such a fun touch to the outfit. When Connor was taking these pictures for me, he kept saying that he thought the "pom" on the beanie was my hair because of how similar the colors were. And now I can't stop staring at these pictures thinking the same thing..... Oh boy.


View Look 1 HERE
View Look 2 HERE

I hope you enjoyed this Winter Chill series and was able to maybe draw some inspiration from these outfits for your winter season looks!

ps. I'm currently en route to Japan RIGHT NOW!

Leggings: c/o Evereve
Scarf: c/o StyleGirl
Boots: c/o Khombu

Welcome to Look 2 of my Winter Chill series with Evereve!
If you missed Look 1, check it out HERE.

This Free People thermal has been blowing up the Internet lately so I thought I would jump on the train and ride along! ;) It's definitely popular for a reason because this baby is sooooooo cute and comfy. I love how long it is because it goes perfectly with a pair of leggings! It's also super flattering and comes in the cutest array of colors. I got mine from Evereve and that's where you should pick yours up too! Aside from this cute thermal, they have a great collection of sweaters, leggings, and all your winterwear needs. They've also just added new clearance markdowns up to 70% off, so be sure to check them out HERE!

Today's our last day in Hawaii before we jet off to our next adventure in Japan! I feel like these past two weeks have flown right by but I'm glad that I'm able to look back on them via my VLOGS and relive the moments!

This is currently my feels right now:
Life, man.


View Look 1 HERE.

I hope you liked Look #2 in this series! Look #3, along with a $100 GIFT CARD GIVEAWAY TO EVEREVE will be posted TOMORROW so be sure you swing on back for that!

Have a great week, friends!

Merry Day After Christmas! :)
Hope you all had an amazing Holiday with your family and friends! I spent mine pranking my parents, opening presents (of course), napping, and making cookies with my family. I couldn't have asked for a better day. You can actually watch a recap of my Christmas Day HERE on my YouTube channel (the video will be live 12pm MST). If you didn't know, I'm daily vlogging my trip to Hawaii and Japan so if you aren't already following along, make sure you SUBSCRIBE! xx

Today I'm sharing the first look of three in my Winter Chill series with Evereve! Evereve is an amazing lifestyle retailer whose mission is to inspire moms to embrace their power and beauty. Obviously, I'm not a mom (I'm a puppy mama, does that count?), and Evereve is a mom-centric company, but they want to stress that their clothes can be worn by any women at any age! They carry brands such as Free People, Splendid, BB DAKOTA, Amuse Society, Levi's and more!

All the outfits in this "Winter Chill" series are casual and sporty, hence the word "chill." ;) I'm really loving the sporty-chic vibe these days so I was super excited to put together all these outfits for you guys! A good cozy turtleneck/cowl neck sweater is so key for the winter season--if you don't have one in your wardrobe, you're missing out! I paired my sweater with an olive bomber jacket, and of course you can't go wrong with some leggings and sneakers. I love the splash of coral in these Onitsuka Tiger sneakers--it add a fun vibe to the overall outfit! Evereve also just added new clearance markdowns up to 70% off, so check them out HERE (maybe spend some of your newfound Christmas cash, hehe).


I hope you liked Look #1 in this series! Look #2 will be posted on Monday, followed by Look #3 on Tuesday! Also on Tuesday to end the series with a Bang, I will be hosting a $100 GIFT CARD GIVEAWAY to Evereve!! So be sure you swing on back for that. :) We're actually leaving for Japan on Tuesday morning so it'll be a fun day for all of us!

This may or may not be me once we land in Japan.....
Jet lag will be the death of me.

Cheers!

Love, The Hamiltons + Santa Paws.

Wuddddup Christmas Eeeeeeve!

Is it random that whenever I hear the words "Christmas Eve" I think of Eve from Life-Size dressed up in her Christmas outfit? Which BY THE WAY, they're making a Life-Size 2. WHUT. So excited. Can't wait to shine brighter and farther.

If you've seen my Holiday Lookbook video, this outfit might look a little familiar to you! ;) Christmas isn't Christmas without an "ugly sweater" being worn at one point. amiright? I know this adorable owl sweater doesn't technically qualify as an ugly sweater cus it's so dang cute, but it's the spirit of it that counts. :) Although these pictures portray a Winter Wonderland version of Christmas for me, I'm actually having a quite green (and rainy) Christmas this year in Hawaii. It's been 4 years since I've been home for the holidays with my entire family so this will definitely be one to remember!

Have a merry lovely awesome wonderful sweet crazy Christmas, friends!
Love you alllllll.

Find Your Perfect Perfume w/ Scentbird + 25% off code


Merry Christmas Eve Eve!!!

Ever wish you could "date" perfumes before you "marry" them? I don't know how many times I've gone and bought a full-sized bottle of perfume that I thought I liked at the time, and then a week or two later change my mind on liking it. And then I have an entire bottle of perfume just taking up space on my dresser.....next to the 7 other bottles of perfume collecting dust. Yep.



Well, with Scentbird, you can try any designer perfume you want before committing to a full bottle for just $14.95 a month! You receive a generous supply (0.27 oz / 8 ml--about the size of a rollerball) that lasts about 30 days, along with a chic, reusable metal case that you can carry in your purse. Every month you receive a replacement vial with the perfume of your choice and you just pop it into your case and go!




Scentbird is also perfect for testing out that specific perfume you've always been dying to try! They have over 350 authentic brand-name perfumes to fall in love with. You can search perfumes by mood, style, occasion and scent type. If you don't know which perfume to start with or test out, they have a perfume recommender where you just take a short quiz that will match you to your perfect scent results!



This month I'm testing out Ralph by Ralph Lauren and I'm in LOVE with it so far! It's a fresh, floral scent that is perfect for everyday use. It smells sooooo yummy--I've already gotten a few compliments on it already! ;) It's definitely more of a summer perfume though, so I'm for sure going to add buying an entire bottle of it to my wishlist for when it starts warming up again.

Check out my shoppable look HERE to try out this perfume and Scentbird for yourself!

You can also get 25% off your first subscription by using the code: ATA25
so make sure you take advantage of that awesome deal! xx

Hope you guys have an awesome Christmas Eve Eve! ;)

Cheers.
