Winter Giveaway!

I was apprehensive about the blanket scarf trend, but after wearing this one on a snowy day I am hooked!  It kept me warm and I felt incredibly cozy.  I actually love this scarf so much that I will be giving one away to one lucky reader!  You can enter for a chance to win this H&M scarf AND my new favorite MAC lipstick on Instagram (username: meandmr.jones)!  

I'm also loving pastels this winter and cannot get enough of this lovely ballet pink Old Navy jacket.  You can dress it up or down and the color is subtle enough to wear with almost anything.  Stay warm and have a Merry Christmas!

Monogram Gift Wrap

Happy Thursday, everyone!  Mr. Jones and I still have a few gifts to buy, but I wanted to share our holiday gift wrap and some more holiday decor with you!  For the past couple of years, I have used brown packing paper to wrap our gifts and this year I wanted to try something different.  I found the ivory and gold wrapping paper at HomeGoods and stumbled upon the black kraft paper at Michaels.  To tie everything together, I bought red and green velvet ribbon at HomeGoods, chalkboard ribbon at Hobby Lobby, and chalkboard gift tags at Target.  I absolutely loved the way our gift wrap turned out this year, I hope you do too!

Christmas Cocktails

Christmas is so soon, but it isn't too late to mix up some adorably delicious holiday cocktails!  I created two cocktails that are easy to make and don't require many ingredients.  I love a good craft cocktail, but I'll leave that to the real professionals at my favorite restaurants.  I hope you enjoy them as much as Mr. Jones and I did!

MRS-tletoe:

1. For Cranberry Ice Cubes: Add 3-4 cranberries per ice cube, fill with water, freeze.

2. For Red Sugar Rim: Pour sugar out onto a plate. With a lime, lemon, or orange, coat the top of the mason jar with juice. Press the rim of the glass onto the sugar to rim the edge.

3. Pour 1.5 oz. Vodka over cranberry ice cubes.

4. Fill the rest of the glass with Sprite zero.

5. Add a splash of cranberry juice.

Santas Little Helper:

1. Ginger Ale Ice Cubes: Fill ice cube tray with ginger ale and freeze.  Our favorite ginger ale is Ale-8-One!

2. (Optional) Red Sugar Rim: Pour sugar out onto a plate. With a lime, lemon, or orange, coat the top of the mason jar with juice. Press the rim of the glass onto the sugar to rim the edge.

3. Fill glass with ginger ale ice cubes (4-5 cubes max).

4. Pour bourbon over ice. Mr. Jones prefers Four Roses Bourbon.

5. Garnish with a few cranberries.

MRS-tletoe Maxi Skirt

Every year, I get my tinsel all in a tangle trying to find the perfect party dress.  This year, my Christmas wish was granted when I found the most beautiful mistletoe green maxi skirt.  To keep my look merry and bright, I paired it with my favorite MAC lipstick, a long sleeve crop top, and some spunky leopard pumps.  Bring on the martinis and mistletoe!  

P.S.  I’ll be posting more about my monogrammed gift wrap and our holiday décor soon!

Very Merry

We've all done it.  We stop by Target to pick up a few things, and end up spending well over $100.  That's exactly what happened on my last trip to Tar-jay, but how cute is this sweater?!  It also comes in men's and both are now on sale.  Happy Holiday shopping!

Three Months

For my first post on Me and Mr. Jones, I decided to wear something that reminded me of our wedding day (only three months ago today)!  I wore this same Free People slip while getting ready for our wedding, and every time I wear it I'm reminded of the excitement and joy I felt on that day.  There are so many ways to wear this slip year-round and it is incredibly comfortable to boot!

My first blog post wouldn’t be complete without introducing Mr. Jones!  Skyler and I love to surprise each other with little gifts on a whim.  He had wanted a darker denim shirt for fall and after shopping several stores, I found a great one at TJMaxx.  Here he is right before our date night at The Flipside in Nashville’s 12 South neighborhood.  So delicious!
