friday's fancies #44 - cookie exchange!

happy friday chickadees! i am sooo excited for the weekend (what's new?!) but this one is going to be even more fun because it involves friends, bloggers, holiday movies and COOKIES. i am hosting another cookie exchange and i decided this time i would introduce my best friends to my blogger friends! i am excited for them all to meet and to spend saturday afternoon watching christmas movies and eating cookies. i made my favorite- nerds and i can't wait to see what the girls bring over. we'll be packing up one big box to send overseas to a solider (one of my brother's friends who is stationed in Afghanistan). i'll be sure to share lots of photos + recipes next week (AND a few wishlists from some of my favorite bloggers).

movies + cookies call for another comfy, cozy outfit (yep- i live in clothes like this in the winter months). this one is inspired by cameron diaz's winter wardrobe in the holiday (every time i watch that movie i want to stock up on white sweaters!)::


[sweater $648, tee $34.50, cords $89.50, slippers $115, house of harlow necklace $70, throw $69]


what's your favorite christmas cookie + movie?!

Love this cozy outfit! Sad to miss this, but it may be for the best, as I'd probably gain 100 pounds at your house between the feta dip from last time and sweets from this time:) Have so much fun! XO

Mo Pie, Please said...

I feel cozy just looking at that amazing outfit! I've never seen the Holiday but I do bet that she looks pretty great in it. My fave xmas cookie is crinkle cookies (the chocolate ones rolled in powdered sugar - they remind me of my grandma). So sweet (literally!) of you guys to send cookies to the soldier. I love it! Happy weekend!

la petite coquine said...

This sounds like the best weekend EVER. And that sweater? Divine!

Aspiring Kennedy said...

watching Love Actually as I type. been my favorite for years!! :) and tyler has forced me to only watch it the last month of the year... i was going for a little too much year-round cheer and it was wearing him out. :) haha!

Kari said...

Love the sweater and slippers! Those slippers belong on my feet.

I'm watching Elf right now, which is too cute for words. My all-time favorite holiday cookies are frosted soft sugar cookies--they're addictive!

Anna H said...

I love the Holiday! And I'm the same way about the white sweaters! I love the clothes in that movie. My favorite might have to be White Christmas.

Sara said...

Oh THE HOLIDAY! Love that cheesy movie.

Susan said...

Jillian you got me with this! The Holiday is my favorite movie ever! I'm not joking, it really is. I love it around this time of year. That outfit is just what it needs too! Have a fantastic weekend!

leigh said...

My grandma's gingerbread cookies are the perfect combo of spice & sweet. They're delicious.
Depending on my mood, Love Actually or Elf. ;)
Have fun!
Love, Leigh
