The Christmas holidays are my absolute favourite time of year. I love everything about Xmas; the food, the carols, the lights, the family, the love and the wonderful celebration of gift giving. I hosted my 2nd Annual Fashionably Yours Xmas Potluck dinner with my FY staff. Not only am I blessed with a hard working staff, they are each individually unique, stylish, smart, kind and so much fun. I’d like to think it’s partially to do with the fact that they have a super cool boss (lol). At the end of the day, we’re like a little family and I’m the mama. lol.

We exchanged Secret Santa gifts and everyone left with major designer scores. Jaystrut was my Secret Santa (again!), but I gifted each of them with special designer items to suit each their individual styles. Only at a Fashionably Yours X-mas party, does everyone leave with Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Hermes & Gucci. They work hard all year round, so X-mas is my time to spoil them. And then they spoiled me right back. There were tears of joy (Michelle), non-stop laughter (Jaystrut) and a shit load of Gucci (Hoda). We didn’t get any group shots this time, but shout out to Richard, Alison, Kathryn, Hailey & Paula who are a little camera shy. I love my team. xo

OUTFIT: (Yes, I wore red & green). Red sheer blouse (from Mendocino), Topshop green jeans, Hermes Black/Gold H belt & Clic Clak, Chanel necklace & earrings, Matiko leopard wedge boots

Presents from my staff…Christian Louboutin x Chanel books & a Links of London horseshoe charm (because I’m good luck). The books are amazing and will go nicely with the rest of my growing collection of designer coffee table books.

X-mas tree done the Fashionably Yours way…

My little Chloe was anxious to open presents

My posts have been scarce over the holidays (shame on me), but rightfully so, I’ve had much to celebrate and lots of joy to spread with my friends, family & staff. The festivities began last week at my Fashionably Yours Xmas Potluck with my fabulous FY crew and a few of my closest friends. We feasted on a massive succulent turkey, exchanged thoughtful Kris Kringle gifts, laughed hysterically and cracked open countless bottles of wine. The next few days,  I celebrated with my BFFs and my family, then we all got together again and worked the Boxing Day craze at Fashionably Yours. I’m still stuffed from all the food and until now, never thought it was possible to get sick of turkey and stuffing. Xmas is my favorite holiday. It’s my time to give back to all my loved ones that give so much to me all year around, but Santa unexpectedly spoiled me. I must have been a good girl this year. Perhaps, I’ll work on being naughtier next year.

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and wish you all a prosperous & Happy New Year. Stay tuned for lots of positive new changes in 2011. xoxo
