Gift Guide: For The Hostess
15

I hate to call favorites but today’s gift guide might be mine.  If you’re looking for a fun, creative gift ideas for the ladies who host us all holiday season long, I’ve got you covered. From party coasters to champagne flutes, this gift guide definitely took me the longest in trying to find the perfect gifts I’d love to give my friends throughout these next two months. A few highlights:

C.Wonder’s home section is quite on point this month. Insert these shot glasses, coasters ($14 dollars), and appetizer plates.

Party on, party people.

A hostess gift I never thought of before is name place cards. These Kate Spade place cards would make any table pretty (right?) and would be much appreciated by any hostess.

#Pop.Fizz.Clink Champagne Bag. $28 Dollars. Obvi.

One hostess gift that I think is a little underrated are coffee table books. Maybe because its “my thing” but I love giving (and getting) various coffee table books. They are an affordable but thoughtful gift that is sure to please throughout the holiday season. Is your hostess into cooking, cocktail recipes, or fashion?

Give the gift of Jonathan Adler this holiday season. His monogrammed pillows aren’t going anywhere anytime soon (plus it’s on sale!)

His + Hers glasses super cute for the co-hosts in your life.

What about an easy throw blanket from Target for $29.99? Plus Target can gift wrap it for you – done & done.

Perhaps a tray for your hostess to serve cocktails on? Or maybe a little trinket dish for her jewelry?

Last but not least, send yourself home with these Kate Spade “Treat Yo Self” Goody Bags. You never know what left overs the hostess will send home with you, and look! You already provided the transportation. Mazel.

Get The Look: An Easy, Elegant Bedroom

I have many a design board on Pinterest. My favorite is easily my Design Eye Candy board. This one has been around the longest, ever since I joined Pinterest back in…2011? Crazy. I also launched Small Spaces, Big Style and a Lovely Kitchen board to start getting more niche with spaces and design ideas I love.

When I pinned the image below, I instantly thought that I could sleep here.

Neutral color palette, a huge tufted headboard (yum), white crisp linens and a cozy throw. This bedroom screams cozy oasis + it’s not too expensive to recreate! Insert this side table from Target for only $100 dollars. I can’t get enough of the Safavieh collection.

I also found a similar faux fur throw on Restoration Hardware – I have been shopping for the perfect faux fur blanket for the past two years and Restoration is the winner (I love the thickness and quality).

You can also find similar linens from Serena & Lily and a very similar headboard from Pottery Barn – search their “Chesterfield” collection. Would you sleep here? Xo. Lauren

Loving Nate Berkus For Target
5

Happy Tuesday! How was everyone’s weekend? The end of last week was quite crazy for me as I was preparing for my wine tasting with Seven Daughters on Saturday! I stopped by St. Tropez Tan for a little spray tan (they did such an amazing job // makes me miss summer already),  Swung by Home Goods to pick up some last minute necessities, and DreamDry to get a last minute braid. More to come on the wine tasting later this week!

Have you guys seen Nate Berkus’ latest collection for Target? The products are quite amazing and are at such a good price point. Insert this black + gold end table, this cute picture frame and this eye-catching snake bowl. I’m also loving the new Threshold products. I’m always so amazed by how on-trend and the quality of products Target can bring to the marketplace. Insert this gold bar cart (a must) and this wood end table with the gold base structure. Have you seen any other products you’re loving from Target? Have a great Tuesday! Xo. Lauren
