Happy December + Highlights

Happy first week of December loves! I’m celebrating the holiday season today with a brunch at The Beverly Hills Hotel Polo Lounge (they do fabulous Christmas decorations!) before I watch Alabama win the SEC Championship and Stanford win the Pac 12 Championship. My family is having a football viewing party today so I’m ready to cheer my little heart out! I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday!
