This year, our holiday decor is full of metallic colors and lots of greenery. I left a lot of decor in the bins I organized last year, but may create a few more little vignettes here and there over the weekend. My attention has been on gift buying this week (almost done!) and now cooking and baking, but I’m really enjoying the holiday decor in our home.
But I couldn’t resist adding a few touches of red into the mix. These branches and berries sit on our kitchen counter.
A new throw pillow from Hobby Lobby.
And my favorite new addition- this adorable deer from Pier 1. I’m gonna have a hard time putting him away- he’s so cute.
And this officially wraps up our Christmas Cheer Holiday Link Party!! Visit Michaela Noelle Designs blog to link up YOUR holiday decor. Thank you to everyone who linked up- I’m still looking at all the Christmas trees you linked to my blog:)
What’s Easter without a new Easter dress?! Of course, I kid, although even as a little girl, I remember going shopping for a new dress to wear to church on Easter…
For the first two years of my son’s life, I did a monthly blog recap as sort of an online scrapbook where I recorded personal mementos, milestones, and pictures of…
How’s your week going friends? I’m just over here counting down the days ’til the 2017 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale like a kid at Christmas! It’s so close, opening this Thursday for cardholders. ??I got a friendly letter in the mail letting me know they upped my limit just in time for the sale- #thankyouverymuch! We’ll keep this little detail to ourselves and not bother the hubby with that tidbit of info! 😉 Are you excited?!?! Of course, I’ll be sharing my picks on Thursday and then a big ‘ole dressing room round up on Friday with fit tips and recommendations. Let me know what you have questions about and I’ll do my best investigative journalism for ya!
This swingy striped! cold shoulder dress is perfect for daytime or evenings out. Love the simplicity of it and the drapey fabric. Such a steal at right under $50! For a daytime look, you could wear it with the #10 sandals (they have lots of colors) & for evening, these black open toe heeled sandals would be great.
Show off your summer mani with this gorgeous, chic statement ring! I like to wear it on my first or middle finger on my right hand with a bold bracelet.
I’m sure you’ve heard me rave about this maxi dress before. Every time I wear it, I get tons of compliments and it’s really flattering and comfortable. It’s on sale under $40! I wear XS.
High waist leggings will be your BFF, I swear! They keep you all nice and tucked in and make you feel great while working out. Zella quality is always superb, and this pair comes in three colors with criss-cross detail at the calf. They run TTS, I wear size XS.
Although I normally wear a tank to workout, this Zella tee is my go-to when I want a t-shirt. The seams in the shirt are perfectly placed to help the illusion of a smaller waist and I like the cut of the sleeves that don’t irritate me when I’m working out.
My go-to tank, $11!!! I think I need to stock up on the other colors. It’s perfect for wearing alone or layering under cardigans or other tops. It fits TTS, XS here.
I have the older version of these sandals and they are really good! They come in tons of colors and the “beige leather” has a snakeskin pattern that goes with everything. Sam Edelman makes quality shoes that last, so I highly recommend them!
I’ve wanted to add a gallery wall to our home for a long time, but have gotten totally intimidated and overwhelmed because they seem like a lot of work and…
Forever making changes to our home and that is the fun and creative part. The curved staircase is one of my favorite features in this house, but it has been…
