Decorating With Plaid - Plaid Gift Ideas

There’s nothing more festive than giving holiday plaid gifts to your loved ones during the holiday season. From Christmas pajamas to plaid loafers, so many retailers have launched their very own holiday plaid collections you can shop leading up to Christmas. 

Rounding up the best plaid gifts in my gift guide series each year is always fun — mostly because my mom and I are obsessed with anything that includes a tartan plaid! If you combined our collection of plaid blankets, you would think we were crazy. P.s. If you’re looking for where to shop for tartan plaid blankets or throws check out this blog post right here. We highly recommend a few of our go-to retailers including: L.L. Bean, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pendleton ( I have this one!), MacKimmie & Co which is based in Lenox, Massachusetts and Home Goods for more affordable plaid blanket options.  

Outside of decorating with plaid, you can of course dress in tartan plaid! Both Mark and Graham and J.Crew continue to release plaid gifts each season that are stylish and affordable! Take a peek at this year’s must-haves:

What To Wear New Years Eve
0

I seriously cannot believe New Years Eve is right around the corner! If you haven’t started shopping for your NYE outfit yet, don’t worry, you still have time! Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite holiday dresses from Shopbop. What I love most about shopping at Shopbop this time of year is how easy & simple they make shipping and returns.

They have so many great sparkly options for this holiday season. Insert Alice & Olivia — they have one of my favorites I’ve seen so far! Isn’t she pretty?!

For more affordable NYE dresses, take a peek at both Likely‘s & Wayf‘s selection. AND don’t miss out on Shopbop’s sale section of dresses! They constantly add new dresses to the sale section every single day. All of these dresses would pair perfectly with classic pumps or fancy black booties.  I would also layer on a faux fur coat or leather jacket with any of these numbers.

Pssst… In case you haven’t heard – Shopbop has their own dedicated boutique on Amazon that you can shop on now as well! Talk about keeping things easy & simple. <3

Happy holidays, friends!! Xo. Lauren

Over 15 Best Gifts For The Cook

Happy Thanksgiving!! We’re back home in Cleveland for all of the turkey day festivities and I cannot wait to see what my aunt and uncle whip up in the kitchen this year – they are seriously the best Italian cooks. 

Today I’m sharing gifts dedicated to the one who loves to cook & entertain on your list. Everything is from Williams-Sonoma and currently 20% off + free shipping with promo code THANKS.

A few of items that I have on my own Christmas wish list include the one and only insta pot max + corresponding cookbook. I have a crockpot but I keep seeing so many recipes that use an insta pot and would love to get one soon. You can purchase the Max for $200 dollars or you can shop the insta pot duo 6-ct version for $87 dollars!

 Another cooking essential but I also need a basic stainless steel roasting pan and this one is currently on sale for $100 dollars! Other entertaining essentials at great price points include this Scalloped White Marble Cheese Board and Marble Cheese Knives. I love Williams-Sonoma Marble Wine Coaster and use it every single time we entertain. I usually keep in the kitchen or add to a tray in our living room to display a bottle of wine or even a candle. Last but not least, these marble canisters would look great in any kitchen!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family & friends. Happy Cooking! Xo. Lauren

The Top Monogrammed Gifts To Give This Holiday Season

Monogrammed-Linens-Gift-Guide

When it comes to monogrammed gifts, Mark and Graham, Tuckernuck and Etsy always have the best selection. I love monogramming gifts for those on my list who historically can be notoriously hard to shop for!

A few of my favorite monogrammed gift ideas include this navy travel organizer (20% off!), this Monogram Large Boat Tote (only $25 dollars + 20% off!), and this Monogram Waffle Robe.  I think I’ll be getting my boyfriend this monogrammed leather catch all because I can’t stand when his keys, wallet and watch are all over the place! 🙂 Last but not least, I think my mom would love these Mark and Graham Faux Fur Hat and Glove set.

What are some of your favorite monogrammed gifts to give? Happy Shopping! Xo. Lauren
