Friday Favorites!

Hi Friends! I just love Fridays! Don’t you?! I’ve rounded up some great favorites for you today! Did you see the cute black and white cozy fair isle tunic sweater?! I wear lots of black leggings and boots in the winter so this sweater perfectly fits the bill for me and I am sure you would love it too if you wear leggings often too! I am currently eyeing the coordinating boots! It’s made by Dr. Sholls which is sure to be a comfortable pair of boots to run errands in this winter!

If you watch my instagram stories, I shared all about my dutch oven and how much I still love it after a year of using it! You don’t need to spend $200 to $300 for a perfectly good dutch oven! This one is at a such a high quality at an affordable price! It comes in many colors and mine is in Oyster White. It would even make a fantastic Christmas gift to give to if you know someone that cooks a lot like I do! I use my electric griddle all of the time! It’s fast and easy to make a lot of food for our family of five! If you’re looking for a new electric griddle, check out this fun green one!

Every year after the New Year’s are over, I finally take down my beautiful Christmas decorations! But then I get sad at how bare the entire house looks! I recently found this cute affordable winter artwork to put on my kitchen counter after everything gets put away! I’m thinking it will help erase the post Christmas blues? Is that such a thing?! I thought this pretty blue vase really compliments the winter scene artwork too! Don’t you agree friends?

I currently have this faux boxwood trees only mine is triple. Most front doors are average height (Mine is at almost 9 feet tall) so a double boxwood size fits most average heights proportionately. This one is made by the same manufacture and I’ve had mine for 2 1/2 years now! It’s a great alternative to really dress up your front door entrance without worrying about the care maintenance of a real boxwood tree. Especially if you have a covered front porch that doesn’t get much natural sunlight!

I hope you enjoyed reading through some of my favorite picks! Per usual, everything is linked below for you!

Have a GREAT weekend! XO!

Friday Favorites!

TGIF Friends! Cheers to the upcoming weekend! Boy with the time change for the winter, I am so ready for a day to catch up on sleep! How about you? Does the time change affect your sleep too?

I am still on a big garland kick when I create Tablescapes! They are just so gorgeous and so easy to make a centerpiece! After working with all kinds of different garlands over the last year, I now believe in purchasing quality garland. When they are substantial and full they can simply bring the dramatic wow factor without much added work to it. I also notice that buying a good quality made garlands tend to last much longer after use too, meaning they don’t fall apart after handling it. I’ve had a few inexpensive garlands come to me in the mail and just gently pulling it out of the box and watching it fall apart was enough for me to send it right back! This one on Friday Favorite picks is a very pretty autumn coloring from a wonderful reputable company that I’ve used before! I highly recommend them! I also cannot believe how gorgeous this white slipcover chair is! And the affordable price is on point too! Did you notice the basket and the cute throw pillows yet? Together they make such a cozy and warm look with the creamy white chair! With the upcoming holidays, I thought this gorgeous blouse and this emerald cocktail ring together would be perfect to wear! Plus it’s not too holiday specific so you can wear all year round which is a great investment piece to have! And the blouse is now currently on sale for 30% off which is even better!! This pretty gold candle is the perfect candle to light when guests come over! It smells of citrus and cypress! I feel like this candle is the perfect fall/winter scent for holiday gatherings! Well friends, I hope you enjoyed my Friday Favorite picks! Have a great weekend! XO!

My Thanksgiving Tablescape

Hi friends! I can’t quite kick this obsession of creating a beautiful tablescape just yet! There’s just something so magical about setting a beautiful table to sit down to eat at with your loved ones! Every detail is carefully thought out and put together! And it brings me such joy whenever I create a beautiful table! I did start creating this Thanksgiving table in early October so I could have plenty of time to order and shop for everything and get this ready by the beginning of November! That way it will give you my friends plenty of time to re-create this look or make something similar for your very own Thanksgiving table! I’ve listed all of the sources/links below for easy shopping for you! XO!

10 Best Christmas Tree Collars!

Hi Friends! It’s never too early to start shopping for Christmas decorations! I love using a tree collar for a clean and tidy look at the tree base! Between my kids and pets, my old Christmas tree skirt kept getting messed up! I would fix the skirt daily and soon grew tired of it! So I decided to go the Christmas tree collar route last year for the very first time! I love it so much!! Just remember, the tree collar is the first to grab to put at the base before you plant your Christmas tree in it! Don’t make the same mistake like I did by ordering your tree collar too late! Mine finally came in 2 weeks before Christmas and I was too excited to wait until next year to put it under the tree! My poor husband nearly broke his back lifting our decorated tree while I quickly shoved the collar underneath the tree! Lots of sweating and swearing was happening then! Haha! He is such a good man! I’m a lucky woman to have him! I’ve researched and picked out 10 best Christmas Tree Collars for easy shopping for you! Tree Collars are numbered and linked below for you!

Thank you for stopping by!

XO!

TGIF friends!! Whoo hoo! I love Fridays! Don’t you?! After a busy week of getting up at 6 am every day to get the kids up for school can be exhausting! Who’s with me?! Weekends are for sleeping in! Now that it’s been getting colder out and Halloween is just right around the corner, I usually like to think about what to hang on my front door next after I put all the Halloween decor away! This beautiful dried preserve wreath is sure to brighten up any front door! And all of the reviews on it are so good!!! I love pretty dishes! Unique, antique, fancy you name it! I love them all! And this gorgeous green bowl is part of a collection you can slowly build over time! Check the rest of the collection out! It’s GORGEOUS!! And what better way to enjoy that cold fall morning when drinking out of a cute white pumpkin coffee mug?! Like my two young daughters, I love to cozy up in a good sweatshirt or beautiful sweater! This one is in the blush pink color is just gorgeous! And I love the mock turtleneck part too! So cozy!! Accent it with this multi-colored earrings ( It’s one of my favorite earrings and even prettier in person!) Tie on this gorgeous brown belt with the gold hardware and then slip on these fun driving moccasins in pink! Viola! You’re ready to go girl! 😉

Isn’t the pattern on this pillow so fun?! It’s dark and has so many earthy fall colors to pull together a room! I can also just picture it on a light creamy beige sofa along with solid pink pillows! Add the blue cozy throw and that gorgeous pink and red chinoiserie table lamp! And Ta Da!! You’ve managed to pull together a room! The table lamp comes in a set of two and it’s currently on SALE!! The price is soooo unbelievably good!! I just wish I knew where to put it for myself! 😉 I’ve got my eye on this woven basket to replace the current “temporary” one that’s sitting in my console table for 2 years! I just never got around to finding the right one yet! The dimensions measures perfectly! Let’s talk about this petite acrylic art easel! It’s what you need to put small artwork on to style and propped up! You can use it anywhere you want! I have one on my kitchen countertop! And I also have another one up on the office bookshelves! You can also style it on console tables and nightstands! I currently have two and ready to order two more for our next built ins project for next spring! Get it! you won’t regret it! I love mine that much! 😉 And the last item I adore is this salt and pepper shaker set! It is so cute and to be honest, it is so hard to find cute salt and pepper shakers! Well friends, I hope you love my Friday Favorites picks as much as I do! Have a GREAT weekend!! XO!

My Entryway Table Reveal!

Hi Friends! We’ve been here for 2 and half years now and I finally put together an entry way table! I am so happy with how it all turned out! I really wanted it to be the first thing that catches your eyes when you first walk in! So it was important to find a beautiful gold ornate french mirror! (I love all things french btw!) I picked this one because of it’s wide width which balances the length of the console table. And I also needed it to fit the height of the wall underneath the stair rails so it was the perfect choice! Plus most people like to look in the mirror when they first get ready to walk out the house to double check themselves! I was on the hunt for weeks for a big white oversized vase to put on this table to make a big over the top floral arrangement! Everything was just too expensive and I just didn’t want to spend that much! So one day, I happened to be in a home Potterybarn store shopping when I saw this one! I checked the price and couldn’t believe it was marked down on clearance! So it came home with me! Such a nice score!! I have seen this gold eye glass accessory many times while shopping in HomeGoods but never had a need to pick it up! When I thought about it again, I decided it would be a perfect styling accessory to use on this console table. So I went back to hunt for it and it was no where to be found! The lesson of the day would be whenever you are in a store like Home Goods and you see something you like you go grab it because it is not guaranteed the next day! When I picked the white marble table lamp, I wanted something that was a little bit contemporary to balance out the the traditional french styled table! What do you all think friends?! Did I hit it out of the park with a french glam entry way?! XO!

Friday Favorites!

I can’t believe it is now fall and Halloween just right around the corner! Fall is my favorite time of the year when the leaves turn red yellow and orange! It is just stunning to look at! I always have fun rounding up my favorite picks for Friday Favorites blog post! These are either what I currently have or just adore! I currently have this beautiful woven tray in my kitchen nook and I love it! It is the perfect size to sit alone on the buffet and is functional! I use it to host drinks whenever we entertain guests or store my kids latest lego creations! If you have a ton of jewelry and running out of room to store it, this ultimate jewelry box looks to hold a ton! It’s now on my christmas wish list for this year! Speaking of jewelry, I love Noonday jewelry collection! Especially when I know it’s handcrafted by women artisans all over the world and every piece they sell, helps to feed their families! This multi-colored hoops by Noonday coordinates perfectly with this blue sweater! I even picked this popular styled knotted headband in the color teal! I think that goes with this sweater don’t you agree? It’s a casual head to toe outfit look that can be dressed up or dressed down! Also did you notice the white and gold pumpkin salt and pepper shaker yet? It is just so pretty to have out for the entire fall season! If you are like me, I tend to have an addiction of buying lots of blankets for our home! 😉 My family loves to cozy up with a warm comfty throw while we watch tv or read a book! Sometimes my kids even steal them from the living room and bring them up to their bedrooms! Do your kids do that too? 🙂 One last item I wanted to share would be this front porch mat! This navy blue bird just looks like the perfect element to have on your front porch all winter long! You know when the holidays are over but you’re not quite sure what to put on there anymore but still want it to look cute for winter? This would be the perfect winter addition! Ok friends! I sure hope you’ve enjoyed my Friday Favorite picks and have fun shopping! All links are posted below for you! Have a GREAT weekend!! XO!!
