Holiday Cheer!

Happy Monday, y’all! We can hardly believe that it’s already November (fall is just flying by!), but that means we’re so thrilled to embrace holiday mode in full swing! We’re delighted by so many of this year’s new collections, and today we’ve rounded up all of our fresh favorites along with a few time-honored standbys to inspire seasonal cheer for decorating, entertaining, dressing and gifting!

Of course we adore a dose of vintage style everywhere, but the holiday season is when we really love to turn the volume up on retro charm! There’s just something about a layer of nostalgia that gets us in the festive spirit! Per our usual approach, the fun is in the mix…try combining a contemporary wrapping paper print with an antique ribbon for a lovely balance of old and new. We’re also smitten with vintage glassware paired with colorful paper napkins, or a tree filled with an eclectic assortment of ornaments (try searching for vintage glass, glittered or hand-painted ones!).

When it comes to perking up our wardrobes for the holidays, we’re on the lookout for pieces that are adaptable for both special occasions out and cozy moments at home! Flattering + forgiving Nap Dresses are just as brilliant for curling up to watch your favorite Christmas movie as they are dressed up with a few sparkling accessories. Don’t forget about the pair of party shoes that effortlessly takes on a second life as your casual companion for day dresses or jeans! It’s no secret we love to shop the latest styles, but clothes can be difficult to gift to others…for your fashion-forward friends, try jewelry, a pretty silk scarf or pajamas that resonate with their style sensibility! Browsing for a lover of beauty products? Instead of trying to guess which step in their routine needs a restock, gift them a beautifully packaged candle or hand soap to display on their vanity!

Although joyous, the holidays can still be loaded with stress…especially with all of the supply disruption and shipping delays going on this year! We recommend the peace of mind that comes with placing a few early orders!
