Lele Sadoughi Holiday Headband

There’s nothing I love more than a good headband. Some of my girlfriends might say that I wear them too much but I love that when I don’t feel like styling my hair, I can easily throw on a headband and call it a day.

My favorite headband brand to-date is easily Lele Sadoughi – I know her price points are high but so worth the investment if you love headbands as much as me. They are the most comfortable headbands I’ve found to-date and trust me, I’ve tried a lot!! Lele’s tartan plaid / jeweled headband is officially my next headband purchase – how cute would this be for all of our holiday zooms?!

Outside of hair accessories, has anyone else been on the hunt for new face masks? Lele Sadoughi’s face masks are also comfortable and stylish but a few other styles I have on my radar include these tartan plaid face masks from J.Crew Factory, Old Navy and Etsy.

And for those of you who are getting a jumpstart on holiday shopping, don’t miss my Holiday Gift Guide Page!! Here you can find the best gift guides from years past including top gift ideas for the boys, the holiday hostess, personal gift ideas, for the bride-to-be, cook, plaid enthusiast, and many, many more!

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

Hostess Gift Ideas

We’re moving right along through our 2019 gift guide series!! Today’s gift guide is dedicated to the holiday hostess.  Whether you need a small gift for a good friend or an acquaintance this holiday season, below are some of the best holiday hostess gift ideas you could easily wrap in cellophane, tie a bow around & voi-la! You will have a great hostess gift wrapped and ready to-go in no time. A few of my personal favorites for the hostess include:

  • This white marble wine holder — I swear I use this every time we have friends over or I’ll style it with a candle.
  • I love this beautiful silver coaster set
  • A diptqyue candle is always a good idea.
  • And I learned this from my mom — buy holiday hand soaps/lotion in bulk before the holiday season so you always have a little something to bring if you’re in a pinch.

Today’s holiday gift guide is dedicated to everyone who loves a good monogram — who’s with me?! Some of my favorite monogrammed gift ideas I included on our list this year include many beautiful items from Lettrefina on Etsy, go take a peek! From gorgeous pillow shams (this one might be my favorite) to little stocking stuffers like this monogram tissue box cover or guest towels, it’s hard not to love everything from this Etsy shop.

Other must-give monogrammed gift ideas include — Pink Monogram Tote Bag, this Cotton Waffle Cosmetic Bag, and this Linen Jewelry Pouch.

Last but not least, my girlfriend Alison introduced me to Sprinkled with Pink! A really cute online shop full of monogrammed goodies!! How cute is this monogrammed jute tote bag & it also comes in a beautiful canvas version which would be perfect for travel. And if you’re in the market for a new monogrammed iPhone case, Sprinkled with Pink has one of my favorites — linked here!  

If you’re just tuning in, I linked all of my previous gift guides down below! Happy holidays!! Xo. Lauren
