Less than a week away from Christmas?! Say it isn't so! I'm trying to hold onto every single minute as this time of year is truly one of my absolute favorites. I've still been on the hunt for a few great gift options, so I stopped by Perry's Emporium to see what fashion jewelry they have in stock. Although they've been very busy with the holiday season, they still have some amazing gift options (and I have now added a couple to my wish list). 

Even better, if you have an upcoming holiday party, it's not too late to grab a couple of pieces that will accessorize your look but can easily work into your everyday jewelry as well. Though I loved so much of their in-stock options, a few pieces from the Gabriel & Co. collection really caught my eye. This gorgeous 14k gold and diamond bangle is something I could easily see myself wearing every day, as it's a simple statement that I can stack with my watch or other bracelets. 

I have a bezel diamond necklace I wear every day, but then I saw this gorgeous turquoise and diamond necklace, I thought about how fun it would be to switch it up! It's a simple statement piece, which I love, and while it adds color to your wardrobe, I would also wear it as an every day necklace. 

It's always nice to receive beautiful jewelry pieces, so if you are looking for a great fine jewelry option that's under $1000, both of these would make great gifts for the special gal in your life!

How in the world are we only 11 days away from Christmas?! This holiday season is flying by even faster than the last (and I feel like I say this every single year). I'm trying to hold on to every second because this time of year really is so magical.

My current wardrobe mostly consists of jeans and sweaters or tops, but I couldn't resist sharing this new arrival we just got into ZIA! I love a good sequined dress, and while are plans are still undecided, if we do anything fancy, this is the winner! AS by DF is a new brand we just picked up and the quality is absolutely amazing! You can shop the dress from my store here or if you want to check out some other sequined options, keep reading!

It's not too late to find the perfect pair of Christmas pajamas! I stocked up on a couple of pairs early this year because there was a sale that I couldn't resist. But each year, I love finding a good pair of pajamas to wear on Christmas Eve. Before I got married, my sister and I always got matching ones since we were both at my parents. And though we still go over to my parents' house on Christmas morning, we decided to pick our own this year!

I normally go for a thermal set, but I loved these little plaid shorts and top set so much that it's definitely the winner. I also got a pair of the satin ones, and I love those just as much!

Now that our Christmas card has arrived in our friends' & families' mailboxes, I'm excited to share our season's greetings for this year! In 2016, we shared an engagement photo and last year was very easy as we used one of our favorite wedding photos for our card, but this year, we decided to just keep it simple!

My mom stopped by our house, snapped a photo on our porch, and then I just uploaded our photo to Minted (which I've used for Christmas cards, invitations, save the dates, and more. Minted is also having a sale now through 12/3 to receive 15% off holiday cards! Whether you love a traditional Christmas card, a fun and unique seasons greetings, or even a Happy New Year card, there are so many really great options. This is the exact card we chose (the petite 4x6 version) but I moved around the wording so that it would best fit with our photo!

The other thing I love is that Minted offers free envelope addressing. I hand-addressed all of our save the dates, so if I can avoid doing that ever again, I will be happy!

'Tis the season to be engaged! Or get engaged... because let's be honest, the holiday season is such a wonderful time to say yes to your special someone. Though Stephen and I got engaged in late summer, spending that holiday season of engagement was so special and unlike any other! With Christmas fast approaching, I stopped into Perry's Emporium to check out their incredible selection of bridal jewelry from designers like Simon G., Hearts on Fire and Sylvie. 

Stephen and I ring shopped once, about 8 months before we got engaged. I definitely sent some photo hints, but for the most part, he chose my engagement ring all on his own, which I loved! Stephen went with me on my most recent visit to Perry's and it was fun to see him point out which diamonds he liked the best - and he loved the same one as I did!

It's clear I'm all about an oval, because not only is my own engagement ring an oval, but my favorite in the Simon G. collection was this gorgeous oval halo! The display ring in store is a diamond setting with a CZ center stone, which allows you to customize the diamond that fits within your style, preference in terms of the 4 Cs (clarity, cut, color, and carat), and of course, your budget. 

I had the opportunity to try on a variety of styles - and with the Simon G. collection, there are so many gorgeous options that it's hard to go wrong! One of the great things about this collection is that there were so many settings available in store to try on, giving a good insight on a variety of styles.

As if these diamonds aren't reason enough to head over to Perry's Emporium, then their Let it Snow event should be! As part of the Let it Snow event, if it snows 3 inches in Saint Nicholas, PA or Saint Nicholas, MI on Christmas Day, then your diamond is free!* Be sure to see below for all the details. 
And in case you missed my post on Instagram, my friends over at Perry's Emporium are generously giving away a pair of 1/2 total carat weight studs. But it gets better - if it snows on Christmas Day in ... like I mentioned above in their Let it Snow Campaign, then the winner will get an upgrade to a pair of 1 carat diamond studs! If you haven't already, head over to this photo and like, comment, and follow @zellewiggins and @perrysemporium on Instagram to be entered to win!

Thanks so much to Perry's Emporium for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. 
It's safe to say that if I can find a sweater or tunic that's long enough to wear with leggings then I am set! My favorite leggings at the moment are these faux leather ones by Spanx and I wear them so much that it may be time for a new pair. I've found so many great sweaters this year but because many that I've stocked up on are cropped, I'm looking to add a few more lengthy options to my wardrobe.

This pretty tunic was very popular last year so when it came back in stock for this season, I decided to jump on it! I have on the small but honestly could've probably sized down to an XS as it's very roomy. It comes in so many great color options so if blue isn't for you, check out some of the other options (this pink might be next on my list)! I've seen it styled as a dress as well, but even with my 5'5 height, it was just a little short for me to pull off as a dress. 

Don't be surprised if you see me end up with this sweater in another color or if I wear it for Thanksgiving or Christmas this year. We spend quite a bit of time on the road during the holidays, so having a look that is comfortable but still chic (and doesn't wrinkle too easily) is key for me!

If you are looking for something with length but not necessarily a sweater, I would also highly recommend this tunic. It's such a steal and I've had mine for going on 2 years and it still looks brand new. You can check out this old post to see how I styled it!

I've included a few pieces (sweaters and tops) that I have my eye on that would be perfect with leggings! Shop them all below and if you have any good recommendations, I'm all ears!
