So many things have happened lately, I can't even wait to tell you guys what it's about! Until then, have a great rest of your holidays and make sure to catch up on my life on Instagram @esmirnatapia!

I know its been a while, but I promise it's all been for some holiday causes (as I'm sure the rest of you might agree)! I leave you with this quick post- how amazing is this maxi dress?! I can assure you that it really is as long as you think, hence the super high platforms! And what do you think of the coat? You must know by know that I am a sucker for shag-anything! 
I am done with my holiday shopping- I can't believe it's 2 days until Christmas Eve! What will you lovelies be doing to celebrate?!

Whether you're hitting up your extended family's place for a reunion, or simply having a nice get together with your co-workers for the holidays, Alex and I came up with a few looks that will surely get you the "best dressed couple" award this season. This month has been and is still eventful for other reasons other than Christmas; Alex just graduated from his university, his birthday is also the 30th, and of course, there's the NYE celebrations. Whatever occasion you might have, surely we have a look just for you and your guy! Stay tuned for more looks in future posts!
Hope you're having a great December so far! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram for more BTS photos @esmirnatapia!

UPLIFTED

There are no right ways to begin this post, but there are plenty of ways to let you all know exactly how I've been feeling lately- and lately, I've been feeling a lot of different things. I am a huge creative soul, and I have so many ideas on how I should express myself, so why not with tons of glitter and stickers? Though it is the holiday season, at times I feel non-festive, too, but this post obviously does not reflect that. There is a lot going through my mind, things I believe should be done different (maybe according to society's standards..or mine, who knows anymore), people I should be closer to, and I over analyze every single little thing, which is becoming quite stressful. I would change so much, move somewhere new, change the course of 100% everything and everyone in my life, go someplace I have never been and start all over. I hate when I have these "creative blocks" because sometimes I don't know how to control certain things or what to say. And maybe none of this makes sense, but I am just typing as these thoughts flow. What I would give in order to wake up one day and not know anyone, drive up the 101 and just cruise through the coast, stopping once in a while to take everything in, photograph it all, and get all that peace and reassurance I so desperately crave. Does it really have to be that hard? I wish that one day I can be as inspirational to someone else as I have my own set of people who motivate and give me that drive to wake up everyday and keep doing what I love. I am tired of thinking that I am not good enough, that I have to change certain parts of me simply because no one can accept me for who I am 100%. But then it hits me: I AM good enough, just been giving myself to the wrong kinds of people. Sort of crazy the theories you can come up with when you sit and think to yourself for a while. Sometimes I think I should completely shut down this blog and deactivate my social media accounts just because I can and don't feel as if it's really taking me places. Other days I think that I have been quite lucky to experience things I have because of it. I can't ever seem to make up my mind, so until I do, I will come back and re-read this post a billion times to keep me running.

As you might or might not understand, tonight's post is going to be extremely short because I am prepping myself for the Sons of Anarchy finale. Have you been watching?! Let me know what were your favorite parts of the series below! 
Are YOU ready for the #finalride?

You guys know that I pride myself on being a fashion chameleon and I honestly am not afraid to really try anything at least once (well, most things anyway). This is a quick look put together for a day at the office or dinner and drinks with your girlfriends. Whatever the occasion, you're not complete without a chic purse, and mine happened to be this metallic number by Rebecca Minkoff that I found at Nordstrom. Pretty stellar, right?

This weekend was one for the books; from getting up to see the sunrise from the Grand Canyon, stopping by a landmark site at the Flintstones tour & diner place in "Bedrock City", getting to drive our car through groups of wild animals at "Bearizona" (no..seriously! You drove through a path/maze of different animal zones while they roamed around freely! You'll see what I'm talking about soon!), finding the greatest scores ever at Savers (God I missed that place), and overall spending some much needed "married" time with Alex is exactly what I needed in my life. This Thanksgiving was one of the best times of my life, and I could not think of a better way to end November than with such an adventurous event. I had never been so in touch with nature...not kidding! There was absolutely NO signal for long miles throughout the canyon! It was very refreshing, since social media tends to run my personal and work life altogether. Can't wait to start planning our next trip!
