In New York City · December 28, 2016

A Cameron Family Christmas!

Processed with VSCO with s2 presetNew York at Christmastime is pretty special, so when my parents said they wanted to come for the holidays this year I was so excited. The last time they came in December was back in 2004 but I had only been in the city for a couple of months, so it was a lot of fun to experience all the festivities and holiday traditions together again 12 years later.christmas-in-new-york-city-dinner-at-the-clam

Dinner at The Clam

Getting a little tree for the apartment. :) Isn’t it cute?!

I thought it would be fun to walk you through our Christmas so click below to see more!

 Christmas Day:

After opening presents and getting our coffee, we hopped on the subway and made our way up to Central Park. We stopped to watch the ice skaters, and walked by Bow Bridge, the Carousel and The Loeb Boathouse. I used to live on the Upper West Side, so we decided to exit the park on 81st street near The Museum of Natural History, which is a block away from my first apartment in the city, and walked up a few streets to grab bagels at H&H for breakfast the next morning. Since we had been walking all day and wanted to warm up a bit, we stopped into Artie’s, where they have the best matzah ball soup and you immediately get bowls of pickles and coleslaw the second you sit down. Everything is so yummy! I am putting together a little guide of all the festive, Christmasy places we went while they were in town, so make sure to drop by tomorrow to check it out!

What I wore:

Outfit Details:

Hat: Rag & Bone | Sunglasses: Prada | Scarf: Zara (similar) | Sweater: Free People | Jeans: Frame | Boots: Frye | Bag: Celine

Luckily we had glorious weather on Christmas – the sun was out and the temperature was very mild. I love wearing white in the winter, so I started out with that as my base outfit and kept my accessories fairly monochromatic with rich dark brown hues to balance out the overall look.christmas-day-outfit-in-central-park-4christmas-day-outfit-in-central-park-5christmas-day-outfit-in-central-park-8christmas-day-outfit-in-central-park-7

Christmas Dinner:

christmas-dinner-with-kim-crawford-8We decided to stay in and cook Christmas dinner in my apartment, which at first I was a little nervous about due to how small my kitchen is, but it all worked out after a little shopping at Whole Foods. I kept the menu simple and picked up a rotisserie chicken, plus a bunch of pre-cut vegetables (butternut squash, green beans, cauliflower and broccoli) and roasted them with olive oil and herbs. Then made a really simple salad with spinach, pomegranate seeds, pine nuts and feta topped with Brianna’s Blush Wine Vinaigrette. I could put that dressing on everything, I swear! I picked up my favorite rosemary sourdough bread as well as some cranberry sauce (I love the kind out of the can!) and mixed nuts to snack on.christmas-dinner-with-kim-crawford-4christmas-dinner-with-kim-crawford-2christmas-dinner-with-kim-crawford-3christmas-dinner-with-kim-crawford-1christmas-dinner-with-kim-crawford-7christmas-dinner-with-kim-crawford-6For wine, I wanted to have a sampling of a few favorites, so there was a choice of a French Beaujolais-Village red, a sparkling rosé from Franciacorta (read about my trip to the region in Italy, here) and a Sauvignon Blanc by Kim Crawford.

Truth be told, I’ve been drinking Kim Crawford with my girlfriends for quite a few years now. (Our fond nickname for the bottle is Kimmy C.) It became our go-to wine for girl’s nights, dinner parties and a solid staple to have in the fridge for an after work drink. So when the brand reached out and wanted to send me a bottle, you can imagine how excited I was! Plus, how festive is this holiday bottle?!christmas-dinner-with-kim-crawford-9After dinner we met up with a family friend for a drink at The Quarter, which was one of the rare places open on Christmas in my neighborhood. Then later on that evening before bed, we watched White Christmas together and ate popcorn. It was such a wonderful Christmas and although my parents have visited me in New York many times over the years, there has been something so special about having them here during this time of year. I feel so lucky.

I hope you all had a lovely holiday and spent it with loved ones! xo

P.S. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post where I will be chatting about my favorite places to go in New York City during Christmas!

Before I dive into talking about the outfits in th Before I dive into talking about the outfits in this Reel, I want to take a moment and talk about perfectionism and how it can potentially foil the best laid plans…if you let it.

Here’s what I’m talking about: As I was looking back at what I had just filmed, instead of seeing two cute outfit remix ideas, (both based around a $4 top I scored at Goodwill), I only saw the shelves behind me with messy piles of pants, unorganized hanging clothing that wasn’t color coordinated, and the damn black hanger on the floor that is peeking into my shot. 🙄

It hasn’t always been like this for me when it came to sharing my content, but over the years, as photos and video on IG and online became glossier and glossier, and more picture perfect, I found myself pulling back and not wanting to share unless everything was neat and perfectly “in place” before stepping in front of the camera. 

Today, I almost let the fact that my new closet set up that you see here, (which I had only just put together) wasn’t quite set up the way I imagined in my head, keep me from sharing outfits with you all, which is why you follow me in the first place! Jeez.

Anyway, I know that this type of issue isn’t incredibly serious, but I know that I love it when other people
open up and share about little things that they are dealing with, because it helps me feel like I’m
not alone with what I might be going through. So if I helped you release any perfectionism that you might be holding onto, then that is good enough for me. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

OK, now that I got that off my chest, let’s get into the really important stuff: the outfits!

Earlier today I wandered into Goodwill hoping to find some gems, and ended up leaving with this knit tank. I’m really pleased with it and love the color. It’s a dusty mauve and I immediately imagined paring it with my new bright purply-pink sleep set that I shared on here, yesterday. Then of course I had to turn the outfit into a remix and decided to try it on with my new white gauzy pants and some stacked sandals. All in all, I really am quite pleased with both looks! 

Which would you wear? 1 or 2?

xo,
Christine

They are high waisted, relaxed in fit and I will be wearing them until it becomes shorts weather, which is basically not until July. Because if you familiar with Seattle, you know we are about to enter into #juneuary in a week and a half. 😩

Annnnyway, which look is you’re favorite? 1 or 2?

Quick back story on the pieces: I recently got these pants and am officially obsessed. They are the perfect length for sneakers (I’m 5’4), lightweight for spring weather and very comfortable. I’ll link them in my stories if you want the details!

This trench has become an all time favorite and was something I picked up for my collaboration with @bellevuecollection. It’s from @oakandfort and the drape, the cut, everything about it is perfect to me.

The bag is also from @oakandfort, my shoes are @converse and my sweater is old from @target. Oh and earrings are @oldnavy and sunnies are @lespecs!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I haven’t worn this denim vest in a minute, but it sure came in handy when styling this dress, which makes me really happy I didn’t get rid of it during one of my seasonal purging sessions. 😬

This dress comes in a few other colors and is incredible comfortable and lightweight. I think it would also work really well as a coverup if you wanted to go from the beach to brunch!✌🏻

Also, this video makes me smile every time I watch it because I had an audience while filming (my friend Lindsey was just a few feet away teasing me), which is why I’m laughing so much and had a hard time concentrating haha.

Day 29: Style an entire look around your favorite Day 29: Style an entire look around your favorite pair of shoes 🤠

Ok before I talk about this look, can you believe we only have ONE more day of the 30 Day Fashion Challenge?! For those of you that have been participating, thank you for sending me your outfits and letting me know when you have been implementing some of the prompts even if you haven’t done all 28 days - the point was always to help you look at your wardrobe with fresh eyes and to get creative with your clothing. 

So these boots have a special place in my heart. I bought them on a family trip to Santa Fe at a vintage cowboy boot store and immediately fell in love with them. I haven’t really worn them recently but when the prompt said to style an outfit around a favorite pair of shoes, these popped into my mind. It’s also fitting that I chose cowboy boots because I’m spending the weekend in San Antonio! If you have any recommendations, leave them in the comments!

Hello friends! I am so excited to share my collabo Hello friends! I am so excited to share my collaboration with @bellevuecollection , where I styled and remixed some of my favorite transitional pieces that I found for spring, all available in stores now!

For those of you that have been following me for some time now, know that I love classic pieces and a trench coat definitely falls into that category. Earlier in my first reel, I shared a timeless khaki trench and created four different looks based around it, swapping out only a few different pieces, all of which I found while shopping the variety of stores The Bellevue Collection has to offer. 

And now, I’m taking a slightly different approach to a classic style of jacket - the trench coat - and styling a leather version from @aritzia! I am so in love with this buttery soft jacket and am very into the retro, elevated vibes it’s giving me. I created four looks using this one trench and rotated between a few of the same pieces I purchased at The Bellevue Collection for some good ol’ remixing fun. 

Which look is your favorite?!

I love showing how you can make a handful of outfits with just a few key pieces and hope you enjoy these four looks.
