How sweet are the gingham stockings we added to our Christmas collection?!

We watched 8-Bit Christmas over the weekend, which is a funny, sentimental, and nostalgic movie about one boy’s quest to get a Nintendo Entertainment System for Christmas.

The Coveted: The Holiday Party Edit

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN | EIGHT | NINE

I don’t know about you, but I am so ready to add special pieces to my closet after nearly two years of uninspired dressing for a stay-at-home lifestyle. I couldn’t resist that sequin dress (above) during the Black Friday sales weekend and it’s gorgeous in person! And, as a happy surprise, the lining is actually an A-line shape, too! (In the past, BR dresses would often have a slim lining despite being an A-line or trapeze-style dress. It’s kind of the worst for ladies with hips.) The skirt above is in the same material and would look darling with a cozy sweater!

The real star of the show in this roundup, though, is this bag! It’s definitely a splurge, but it’s one of those special occasion pieces you really will use forever.

12 Pairs of Fancy Flats for the Holiday Season

by Leave a Comment

If you’ve been following along for awhile, you’ll know that my love of flats runs deep. It’s no different at the holidays when I’d rather opt for a pair of shoes I can dance in all night than wear a pair of heels that leave my feet aching a couple of hours in! My sole (pun absolutely intended) purchase over on Black Friday was this tinsel-tweed pair from Kate Spade. They’re so much fun! I can already tell they’ll be a holiday staple with both dresses and my beloved jeans-and-an-oversized-sweater combo for family gatherings. (The reviews are all over the place in terms of sizing. I found that they ran true to size for me. They’re a little snug in the toe box, but that’s to be expected for a pointed pair.)

If you’re also a fan of fancy flats, here are 12 party-perfect pairs:

On the Right Foot: Cyber Monday Sales I’m Eyeing, Creating a Scent Memory, the Lure of Posh Packaging, & More!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday season! Things are starting to get festive around here. We hung the garland on the banister, put Christmas lights on the outside of the house, and broke out our collection of holiday music on vinyl. We’ll get our tree on Friday, which is when we’ll decorate the rest of the house. I can’t wait!

There are so many great sales today! I haven’t narrowed down my shopping list yet, but here are the sales I’m eyeing up: ThirdLove’s Cyber Monday deals, Tory Burch (30% most items and an extra 50% off sale), an extra 15% off the Black Friday sale at Julie Vos, 50% off at Banana Republic (this dress!), and up to 50% off everything at Kate Spade (I ordered a pair of fancy flats that’ll look cute with jeans or a little black dress).

Create a scent memory the next time you travel.

Enjoy the week!
