Checking in quickly to share a few snaps from my holiday table this year featuring my new Johnston’s of England tartan plaid blanket I picked up at a local boutique, Mackimmie & Co., in Lenox, Mass this past fall.
The owner of the boutique shared with me that Johnston’s actually uses the same mill as Hermes, Burberry and other luxury brands. The quality is outstanding and what I love most is that it’s actually reversible!! So yes, you can use it all winter long after Christmas. 🙂
Hope everyone has a safe, happy & healthy holiday season!!! Bring on 2021!!!
You know I love a good tartan plaid!!! When it comes to decorating and dressing for the holidays, I often turn to your classic tartan or black watch plaid whether for throw blankets, accessories or clothing. Who’s with me?
Today I rounded up a few great gift ideas you can still shop in time before Christmas — holiday plaid edition. We can always count on J.Crew to have several pieces in a classic tartan plaid — insert this headband, scarf, and tops. I also recently bought these masks and they are just as cute in person!!! Highly recommend.
Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma are my other go-tos for holiday plaid ideas for our apartment. I bought this blanket for my mom for Christmas last year — also love it in the red linked here. These picture frames from Pottery Barn would look great on an entry table or dresser. I also bought these coffee mugs last year and have them on display currently in our kitchen!

PLUS you can take a peek at the best Black Friday sales you can continue to shop all weekend! There are SO many amazing sales happening right now including Shopbop — take 20% off your order of $200+! My go-to is White+Warren cashmere every time. I also recommend taking a look at their outerwear selection — I’m very into Woolwich right now. And their jean selection/brands like Mother, Agolde and Good American.
Sephora currently has a TON of great gift sets, offers & discounts on some of the most popular products in the beauty industry. My personal recommendation that I’m telling all of my girlfriends about is that if there is ONE beauty gift that is a must-buy this year whether for yourself your mom or sister — it’s the Dyson Air Wrap.
Yes, it is absolutely expensive coming in at $549 which is on sale (!!) at Sephora right now — however — it’s 100000% worth it!!!!!!! I’m not one to spend a ton of time doing my hair on a day-to-day basis which is why I love headbands so much. Once I tried one of my girlfriends air wrap earlier this fall, I fell in love with it instantly and would not stop talking about it.
The Air Wrap comes with 6 different attachments including the blow dryer so no matter if you like to curl your hair, prefer a round brush or a flat brush for a quick blow dry, the air wrap provides a ton of styling options. My other favorite feature is that it speeds up the drying process. And who doesn’t love a time saver? Anyways, go get the air wrap – I know you will love it. 🙂
