This year, I’m heading back to Australia for the holidays. I’m a little freaked out because we’re supposed to leave next week and we still don’t have our flights! But I’m excited to spend another Christmas and New Year’s Eve with my boyfriend and his family. So yes, that means my Sydne in Sydney series is returning!

Even though I don’t have my exact dates, I’ve been starting to prepare outfits. This green party dress is one piece I’m thinking of bringing with me. I love this color for the holidays (you might remember past posts in green pants and teal dresses). This bodycon dress combines two of my favorite trends of the season: off-the-shoulder and ruffles. I was inspired by the holiday decor on Rodeo Drive to do a green and gold look by adding metallic accents.

Where are you spending the holidays this year?
