Why yes, I actually am  already thinking about holiday decor. Call me an overzealous holidayer. But you have to admit that these are some pretty things.

glass hurricane, tree skirt, globe ornaments

Those stockings with the pom pom charms!! And that antler centerpiece is the perfect piece for your dining table, the mantle, a console… Also how smart is that tree basket?

 

PS, have you SEEN the brand new Serena & Lily Holiday collection? GAH. And I’m going to go ahead and put this on my wish list.

I finally had time to really peruse the Nordstrom sale and gather some favorites. Anything I’m missing? Would love to hear.

But really, that cashmere tunic and the cashmere sweater. Great for gifts, too. The Vince slip ons are new to sale and I’ve been wearing in my similar pair a ton.

 

Check out Nordstrom’s 40% off sale right here.

We are big fans of TOMS here at my house. Some of my kids’ favorite pairs of shoes are TOMS. They’re cute, simple, and best of all they pay it forward. TOMS has always donated a pair of shoes to someone in need for each pair that is purchased. This holiday season beginning November 16th at Target, TOMS will also give shoes, a blanket, or meals to those in need for each TOMS + Target limited edition gift you buy. Such a warm and fuzzy way to knock out some holiday shopping, don’t you think? The new collection has items for the whole family, and even home goods!

Happy Friday! We’re heading up  to Kentucky and Indiana for a quick trip to see my family this weekend. Celebrating about a bazillion birthdays.

 

Here are a few things grabbing my eye this week.

lilac cardigan, baggold bangle, polka dot dress

pink running sneakers, turtleneck pullovercopper colander (40% off),

grey sweaterhowdy doormat, metallic sneakers, party picks

 

What a great holiday party dress. I’m wearing my slip on sneakers so much that I could almost talk myself into getting that cute metallic pair, too. That turtleneck pullover looks so cozy. And my obsession for the Perry Satchel continues. Have a great weekend!

“Since the early, early days of Garden & Gun we have been in awe of the wealth of talent at home in Southern culture, from shop owners and restauranteurs to designers and artisans who continue to inspire us in the Southern style, food, and sporting world. And JUBILEE (now in its second year) is the ultimate platform for bringing all of that talent that we, as editors, have researched and written about to life.”
