(Favorite spot to spend a cozy evening inside….)
We headed into the weekend with building anticipation for the next few weeks ahead. With our house renovations moving quicker than expected over the past week…. dry wall, paint, electrical, etc all complete…. and a full schedule of flooring and cabinets for the coming few days, things started to feel real…. and the reality that we might be in our new home in time for Christmas had me feeling all giddy inside….
We decorated the tree this weekend (which left Harper feeling all sorts of Christmas feels) + made a festive family breakfast on Sunday morning… With Santa, cookie making, and some Christmas shopping on the docket for the next week it all reminded me that this season is about building anticipation for the magic of Christmas, and the ultimate gift of the season….
So, as we head into the week ahead, I’m doing so with the intention of trying to slow down + enjoy the journey and growing excitement over the next 22 days. Have a wonderful week friends!
(Casual Fridays in oversized band tees + chunky knits…. jeans)
(She actually ended up eating most of my chia seed pudding…. what’s mine is hers and what’s hers is hers….)
(Oversized pullovers + stretchy pants… how I spend most Saturday mornings….)
(Cozy pajamas + a new read…. also, didn’t even realize I ordered it in the large print….)
(The softest little eyelash sweater for some Christmas tree decorating…. joggers)
(Someone was obsessed with the ornaments this year….)
(Love these little succulents from Trader Joe’s… they’re in the cutest little Christmas colored pots… pair with a bottle of wine and they’d make a great hostess gift…)
(Layered some of my fav comfies for a Sunday full of errands…. cardigan (major sale), thermal, joggers)

Love the all the holiday treats that abound… and two of my favorites are this hot coco recipe + these blossom cookies.
If you’re looking for great gifts under $50, be sure to check out this gift shop… they have the cutest stocking stuffers, co-worker gifts, or gifts for your girlfriends. Some of my favorites include these beautiful resin earrings, pom beanie, 3 ingredient cocktail book (because, who needs a complicated cocktail???), oversized ribbed scarf (this is my favorite scarf of the season), and this beautiful planner (great co-worker gift…).
A few “fun for the holidays” pieces that I am loving include these studded jeans (I saw them in store, and they’re gorgeous… immediately went home and bought them!), this faux fur jacket, velvet embroidered tunic dress (just arrived Friday and it’s beautiful….), festive shimmery sweatshirt (great under this coat), and this beautiful slip dress.
LOFT is having 40% off and, as always, I can’t say enough about Lou & Grey. Their pieces are excellent for everyday, casual yet chic living… well made… and can easily work into a 9-5 wardrobe. My current favorites are this blush eyelash sweater, super soft joggers, funnel neck poncho, sweater dress, camel duster cardigan, and this basic stripe tee.
I loveleopard print faux fur jacket + this check blazer.
