Written by Nadia Boujarwah<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My family lives overseas, so spending time together isn\u2019t something we take for granted. Over the holidays, I focus on unplugging to really be present with the people I love. I also use the time to catch up on the books, movies, and podcasts I didn\u2019t get the chance to take in during the year. Building in some relaxation helps me feel refreshed and re-energized when I head back to work for the new year.
<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I reunite with so many friends and family members over the holidays, I always want to look my best. Thankfully, it\u2019s the perfect time of year to break out my favorite color palette\u2014deep jewel tones<\/em>. <\/span>These are just a few of the looks I can\u2019t wait to wear this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually spend the holidays visiting my family in Kuwait. It\u2019s a long flight, so comfort is my top priority. Over time, I\u2019ve perfected my travel-day outfit: dark jeans with a cozy knit top rounded out with a pair of flats (easy to slip on and off for security). I\u2019ll finish the look with a duster vest or jacket\u2014it gives me an extra layer of warmth for the plane, but also makes any outfit feel a bit more polished. Even after 12 hours of travel, I can feel confident that I\u2019ll look put together when I reunite with my family at Arrivals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5K Training<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another benefit of spending the holidays in Kuwait is the weather! It\u2019s usually in the 60s in late December there, which feels like paradise after the freezing New York temperatures. It\u2019ll be an ideal time to get some exercise outdoors\u2014which is perfect because I\u2019m currently training for a 5K in Central Park in the spring. I love to find new ways to challenge myself, and training for this race gives me a fun way to feel like I\u2019m improving each week.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I leave New York, there\u2019s one event I\u2019m looking forward to most: the Dia&Co holiday party! It\u2019s an incredible moment to celebrate all that the team has accomplished over the past year\u2014and it\u2019s always a source of style inspiration. The fashionistas on our team pull out all the stops, and I can\u2019t wait to see how this year\u2019s 1920s theme will come to life. For me personally, I\u2019ll be rocking a navy dress with a twist detail paired with a moto jacket\u2014not the first look that comes to mind when you think 1920s, but I\u2019ll be incorporating the style of the era through accessories. Bring on the fringe, pearls, headpieces, and feathers!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Morning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, I\u2019ll spend Christmas morning with my parents, sister, brother, and two little nieces. It\u2019s a joy to be around little kids on Christmas morning\u2014seeing the holiday through their eyes makes you remember how magical it can be. I\u2019ll need an outfit that feels festive,<\/a> but that I can really move around in, as I plan to spend the morning opening presents, helping the nieces break in a few of their new toys, then tucking into a delicious breakfast (my favorite meal of the day!).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"holiday<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New Year\u2019s Eve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually stay home on New Year\u2019s Eve\u2014rather than going out to loud parties, I prefer to spend quality time with the people I love most, reflecting on the year that has passed and setting an intention for the year ahead. That doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t get fully dressed up to welcome the new year in style, though! One of the best parts of celebrating at home is that when my heels start to hurt, I can just slip them off.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
