I just read the 12 Dates of Christmas and loved it! And a foam pillow might seem a little strange but I swear it will be a hit, we love them! That doggy treat thrower plus wifi camera is hilarious! I feel like kids would love watching this. And you may have seen those magical flames on my insta stories – they make your fire burn rainbow colors! Water bottles and unicorn eggs are great stocking stuffers! And Lilly loves her puffy charm kits. I’d love a ring doorbell camera, personally.

Wishing allll the luck you as you make all the holiday magic come together and happen! Obviously the gifts aren’t what matters, the time spent together and the memories made are what are so special. Holiday cookies, holiday music, family games, movies, stories, holiday crafts… that’s where the magic truly is!

Today is a great day because I get to partner with one of the coolest sites on the internet, and I mean that wholeheartedly. Backcountry is not just a pretty site to shop, it’s a group of really cool people working together and doing really cool things (more about that later in this post).

But back to the site, Backcountry is geared toward connecting with nature! They have everything from every day items for a walk in your neighborhood, to a hike on a new trail, to camping, to snow skiing, to surfing, to rock climbing, to fishing, to basically any activity you can do outside. Simply browsing their site motivates me. And their clothing is fashionable yet casual and functional. Like this pretty blue trench rain jacket! I love the belt tie to give a more defined waist. It’s currently on sale!

I’m also wearing their on the go ankle pants. They’re a breathable lightweight material that’s easy to move it and are really comfortable! These are actually the in house Backcountry brand which is currently up to 40% off right now through December 20th!

Wearing Above:

blue trench rain jacket, on the go ankle pant, white reebok sneakers

These Backcountry ankle pants are the sort of thing you can throw on for any sort of outdoor activity like a simple walk in the neighborhood or exploring the marsh with your kids! Here I’m wearing them with this Backcountry mock neck fleece pullover, which is also part of their big up to 40% off sale!

Backcountry has amazing brands like Patagonia, The North Face, and Cotopaxi! Lilly was due for a bigger winter coat and this red insulated coat is seriously the cutest. It’s good for snow skiing and sledding as well, which we just might have in our future this year! And how cute is her little convertible waist bag that she so cooly swings over her torso? I’m going to be borrowing that.

Wearing:

(me) pink fleece pullover, on the go ankle pant, white sneakers

I tend to wear a lot of black in the winter months, so it alway feels refreshing when I put on some color. This outfit is so bright and cheerful it just makes me feel happy. This wool coat is the prettiest blue-ish green shade, and it has a clean and classic structure while still remaining soft and comfortable! It’s made by Halogen, one of the Nordstrom Made Brands! I love NMBs because they always feel fresh and current, and are a great value!

brown | red | blue/green | mint

I’m really loving my periwinkle blue sweater paired with this coat. The colors are just so happy together, don’t you think? The Halogen sweater has a subtle metallic sheen to it which is a nice little touch.

black | ivory | blue

And my matching cashmere and wool tissue scarf is also made by Nordstrom and comes in so many colors. It’s thin, which I like because it layers well.

purple | navy | pink | grey

Wearing:

blue/green wool coat, blue wool and cashmere scarf,

blue metallic sweater, straight leg jeans, navy suede pumps,

un-coverup concealer, rms lipstick

Here are some more Nordstrom Made items that will keep you cozy but cute this winter! I especially love that light grey turtleneck sweater and that thermal edge sweatshirt!

A little black dress that feels both special and comfortable is a wonderful thing to have one hand. I love this tiered a-line dress from Tuckernuck! It has lovely little swing and a cute stand up collar.

This hand painted bottle of Veuve is by the artist Laura Dro and makes for the cutest gift!

Wearing:

black a-line dress c/o, gold heels, Sachin & Babi earrings

2020 gave me the winter dress of my dreams, flannel pretty enough to wear with heels for a holiday dinner or with basic white sneakers (like how I wore it this past Saturday). This dress is the coziest most comfortable dress ever. It’s by The Great, a brand I’ve admired for awhile, and this is my first piece!

Wearing:

The Great black & white plaid dress,

DRD diamond necklace, similar red drop earrings,

similar LR gold heels, KSNY red bag, Jane Pope ring

Highly recommend. I also highly recommend flannel in all the forms. Here are some really cute flannel pieces for winter!

This popover flannel shirt is on Amazon Prime and comes in like 9 colors (all real cute and classic!) and is only $30. Perfect for casual days with jeans. And I love these pajamas. This mini plaid dress is a winner, too. Have a great Monday, Everyone!
