Holiday parties! I've been lucky enough to attend several parties this year to celebrate the season. Christmas has got to be the most effortlessly festive time of the year. Ugly sweater or not, you need only show up to a party to be swaddled (though not laying in a manger) in friends, treats, and good cheer.
Last week was my first company holiday party at my "new" job (which is starting to feel just normal, but no less fun)! I was so pleased to help with some decor and planning. I wanted to share some pictures, mostly because they are gorg and I think they will reflect well on my blog. But also, it was a night to remember. So so fun hanging with my new friends & old friends (Huntee, [obvi] my date, and Shel came as a +1) in this beaaautiful space (locals:
Pinewood Social).
Nashvillians: get thyself to Pinewood soc as soon as possible. i mean, really.
the vintage bowling lanes (though I did not bowl once) are charming.
i tried to not only choose pictures that i'm in. anyway, i'm in this one. in my new dress <3
hunter really wanted to bowl (of course) so I left him there a few times and set out to mingle
pretty sure i'm eating fried chicken here. it's a great shot of how much i loved my hair
probably my only regret of the night is i didn't eat nearly as much as i wanted to because the food was increds
our Emma Christmas tree, with ornaments made in a happy hour, now on display in front of my desk
here i am pinning a bird ornament in huntee's hair. also notable that some of my favorite new friends, kyle, art, and emily are in this picture
i really can't take credit for all the fabulous decor that was a brainchild of christopher
shel & i dancing our heart out, probably to Robyn
my contribution to this is those little figurines on the mason jar lid.
and because iPhone pictures sometimes capture moments better...(clockwise): my cute date bought himself a new blazer [not pictured], my gals, my favorite picture ever, my Shelly bean
Ready for next year, already.
Please note: I didn't take any of these pictures! We had an amazingly talented photographer,
Diana Lee Zadlo, who took them for us! Check out more of her work on her tumblr!
