Must-Haves For Your Next Warm Weather Getaway
0

With the coldest months right around the corner, all I can think about is our next warm weather getaway! This time last year we were in Anguilla – ugh!! Take me back. Although we don’t have any major warm weather vacations on the calendar at the moment, we are debating a short trip to Florida one weekend in February. Any bit of sunshine is better than nothing! Who’s with me?

I’ve been perusing all of Shopbop ‘s new arrivals & vacation style must-haves and can’t get enough of Zimmerman and Carolina K  at the moment. How pretty & fun is this floral frock? I also recently discovered this handbag line called Serpui Marie which makes the cutest wicker bags including this crab wicker clutch & this toucan clutch.

My other vacation must-haves include a cute and colorful headband from Lele Sadoughi, a pair of Soludos that you can easily wear from day-to-night and a cute pair of sunglasses and statement earrings.

Our Holiday Table with Juliska
0

You guys, it’s been so much fun decorating our apartment for the holidays!! Even with the minimal amount of time we had this year in-between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I was on a mission to get our place in order before the New Year. Did anyone else feel rushed this year, too?! Not only did we fully decorate (and re-decorate) our Christmas tree, I was able to stop by the flower market to pick up fresh greenery AND fully set our holiday table!! Needless to say, I felt v productive and absolutely loved how everything turned out just in the for Christmas.

So without further ado, today I’m so excited to share our holiday tablescape with Juliska!!

For this season’s holiday table, I knew I wanted to incorporate Juliska’s infamous Country Estate Winter Frolic collection. You most likely have seen the blue-and-white version but the country estate winter frolic collection in RUBY is insanely beautiful. As soon as I unwrapped these pieces, I knew they were instantly going to help me create a beautiful and timeless tablescape. I let the winter frolic dinner plates take center stage being sure not to cover them with napkins & layered them with Julisk’s white washed chargers and gold placemats — which are also just as stunning btw!!

Anytime we need glassware for our table, I always lean toward using their Amalia collection — specifically Juliska’s Amalia Tulip Champagne Flute and the Amalia Highball glasses. Not only do they help dress up the table but you can put them in the dishwasher, too!

For the center of the table we incorporated the Country Estate 13″ centerpiece bowl with two of Juliska’s Berry & Thread Hurricanes. What I love most about this tablescape is that even when we remove the place settings, the centerpiece bowl and hurricanes are just as beautiful displayed on our table. Give me all of that holiday glow!!

Do you have a theme for your holiday table this year?

P.s. if you have yet to try anything from Juliska, I cannot recommend adding a few pieces from their collection to your holiday wish list this year!! I cannot wait to continue to use & add to our collection for years to come. 🙂 You can see my blue and white tablescape from earlier this summer right here.

Happy holidays!! Xo. Lauren

0

Black Friday sales are already in full swing and I am here for it!!! Who’s with me?! Not that I need to remind you guys but this week is seriously one of the best shopping weeks all year where you can continue to find great deals, major discounts & free shipping.

The one early black Friday sale I will most definitely be shopping before Friday is Shopbop’s Buy More, Save More sale! Starting TODAY, the more you shop the more you save with promo code ‘MORE19’ at checkout!!

They don’t do this often and when they do – it’s so worth it! I highly recommend stocking up on closet wardrobe staples like jeans, coats, and shoes. Or if you’re headed to a warm weather destination in the next few months, this sale is the perfect time to pick up some warm-weather vacation style pieces!! Here are a few new-to-me brands that will be on my radar during this week’s sale that I think you guys might like!

  • Juliet Dunn – I recently discovered the label Juliet Dunn and love all of her maxi dresses!
  • Carolina K – Not only does Carolina K have great maxi dresses but her swimsuit collection is just as adorable!
  • Not that this brand is new-to-me but I’m currently adding everything from Zimmerman to my wish list. Normally it’s out of my price point but with the buy more, save more deals today I’m adding this dress to my cart!
  • Last but not least, Rhode and Faithful The Brand have great day-to-night dresses & linen dresses!
