- Boden ‘Emilia’ cardigan in red – This is one of Boden’s new arrivals and I purchased it as soon as it was available. It arrived earlier this week — just in time to wear it for the holidays. (Plus, the University of Wisconsin’s colors are cardinal and white, so it’s basically workwear.) I went a size up so that I could wear it buttoned up without a layer underneath without worrying about any gaps at the placket.
- Margaux “The Demi” in red – I already have these ballet flats in two colors and have been really happy with how comfortable they are and how well they wear. They’re a splurge, but they’re my go-to work shoe.
- Undo Hairware No. 2 Claw Clip (red and brown) – I bought a couple of these back in July and use them frequently enough that I figured I’d get use out two more colors in rotation. They’re such nice quality.
- Lands’ End oxford stripe sheets (navy) – I was sick last month and coughing a lot at night. I didn’t want to keep Dave up, so I slept in the guest room. The guest bed had a set of Ralph Lauren cotton sheets I bought on sale over a decade ago when we had a queen bed. I had planned to use them on our bed at the time, but we upgraded to a king before I ever had the chance. After one night’s sleep on the queen bed, I hated how stiff and scratchy the sheets were and immediately placed an order for these oxford sheets that we also have on our bed. They get softer with each wear.
- All Modern artificial juniper wreath – This wreath has such a nice mix of different faux foliage that gives it a nice texture and doesn’t look as cheap as some artificial wreaths do.
- Sezane ‘Lauren’ jumper (navy) – This is yet another item that I have in another color and loved enough to buy another. I bought it in grey back in October and wear it all the time. The sweater has a nice heft to it where it feels like it’s high quality, and it doesn’t pill very much. (As with all sweaters, it will pill, but it’s easy to fix with a sweater comb.)
- West Elm offset stripe pillow (camel/red) – I thought this was such a nice way to add some holiday cheer to our living room without being a full-on holiday throw pillow.
- J.Crew rhinestone earrings (crystal) – J.Crew always nails it with their rhinestone holiday earrings. These are incredibly sparkly and lightweight. Plus, the crystal version is only $9.50 right now!
- Quail Ceramics owl salt and pepper shakers – I realize these are so ridiculous, but I couldn’t help myself. They’re quirky and charming! I’m tucking them away to use at a future Thanksgiving table setting.
