We’re almost done with Blogmas, everyone! For 12 days straight, I’m posting new holiday content to get you in the mood for the season. I can safely say that I do not plan on doing this again next year (gotta be honest!), but it was a fun experiment to try!

Speaking of 2020: remember when I went over those reader survey results with you all a few months ago? I got a lot of fantastic feedback and made a few changes, but I’m planning on tweaking some of those changes. A lot of folks called for less travel and blogging posts, which I get, but those happened to be my highest-traffic posts, so I think it’s time to ramp those up again. As always, I try to have a good mix of content here, so just in case I blog about something you might not be interested in, don’t fret: a new topic will be covered in a couple of days!

Anyway, let’s get to today’s post: it’s officially sparkle season, and I’m rounding up some of my favorite, glitzy dresses (and other pieces!) that are perfect for New Year’s Eve or any other holiday parties that you might have coming up. If you want to rent your NYE dress this year rather than buy, I rounded up my favorite Rent the Runway holiday picks last month!

I’m trying something new this year: today kicks off my 12 Days of Blogmas series!

Last year, I didn’t get the chance to produce as much holiday content as I wanted to for the blog since I took on way too many projects. I want to make up for that this year. After all, the decade ends in less than a month — gotta go out with a bang, right?

Over the next twelve days, I’ll be posting a new, holiday-themed blog post every day. Today, I’m sharing some of the best Christmas PJs, as well as a Cyber Week deal you won’t want to miss!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: the holidays are right around the corner!

Have you ever thought about renting your holiday wardrobe? I don’t know about you, but in the past, whenever I’ve purchased a new outfit for a holiday party, I usually end up only wearing it once or twice. That’s why I like to rent looks every season from Rent the Runway for the parties and gatherings I get invited to!

Think about it: renting this holiday season is a brilliant idea. How often are you really going to wear a ballgown or a sequin jumpsuit? I’m sharing some of my new favorite holiday pieces from Rent the Runway this season — you can rent an outfit here for any occasion! Also, if you want to try out Rent the Runway for yourself this holiday season, use my code “CHEW50” for 50% off your first month of RTR Unlimited!
