Saw these potted herbs and rosemary trees at Whole Foods and thought they'd make a great host/hostess gift! They were on sale for just $10!
It was COLD on Monday and Tuesday... like winter cold. I had to break out my gear. I love this fleece gaiter and these down gloves.
'Tis the season for absolute craziness, and I am taking it in stride. With so many fun work projects and social events on the calendar, I have to be hyper-organized, and I've done just that. We'll see how long I can keep it going, ha!
I've shared four gift guides so far:
- For Him
Next week, I will share three more on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday! Then, there will be four more, spread out over the weeks leading up to Christmas, for a total of 11 guides.
I have a full weekend schedule starting this evening. Tomorrow night is what I am most excited (and nervous) about. A non-Pittsburgh brand is hosting an event here IN Pittsburgh for influencers/content creators. I will share more afterward. But the reason I am so excited is that things like this don't often happen in Pittsburgh! I'm honored to have been invited, but even if I weren't, I'm delighted to see things happening here!
We put up the Christmas tree this week, and I love how it turned out. I am glad I got a new tree and hope it lasts many years.
Wearing: I've been wearing a lot of black this week. No idea why, but that seems to be the theme!
You can find me on ShopMy, where I link all of my outfits, favorite finds, home decor, beauty, and more! I am constantly updating it with the latest! You can also follow me on the LTK app. Plus, you are able to access all of my posts, here, on my website!
Eating:
Drinking: I placed a large wine order ahead of the holidays, and I selected these four bottles because I think they would make a great gift for anyone who enjoys red wine. These are all solid and pretty recognizable. They are all under $75. Price is descending from left to right.
Sale: One of my favorite holiday candles of all time is on sale.
Currentbody, the brand that makes my red light mask, has increased my discount code from 10% to 20% off! My code is SUMMERWIND. It's the best discount available.
Up to 20% off at Smathers and Branson. The best gifts for the men in your life!
Watching: Have you all seen the trailer for Toy Story 5? I was always such a big fan of Toy Story. I vividly remember my aunt and grandma taking us to see Toy Story 2 in theaters, and afterward, we got to pick out a Toy Story 2 toy at the store. I picked out Jessie! It's one of the rare movie series where they are all good! Even as an adult, I think they are cute. The movie is set to release this summer, and although I probably won't see it in theaters, I look forward to watching it. The storyline revolves around screens/technology, and as someone who uses screens way too much for her job, I'm eager to see how it's portrayed. I'm guessing the 'screen' will be the bad guy?! I hope so!
Loving: I'm very much an advocate of wool rugs. I was skeptical about Ruggables, but once I got one for our guest bathroom, I became a fan. This runner is soft underfoot and machine washable. It's perfect for areas like an entryway, bathroom, or kitchen, or for use throughout the home if you have pets. I think of Mac in his last year or two and how some of the rugs in my parents' house were just ruined. This kind of thing would have made everything less stressful.
Loving: This is a cleaner version of an Oxy-type laundry booster. I used it for the first time this weekend on our duvet cover after my parents' pup, Buddy, spent the weekend with us. The duvet cover came out cleaner than ever. I was shocked! I expected it to work, but wow, consider me majorly impressed.
Loving: Love this little knit bandana scarf. It's under $50 and scratches the trendy bandana print itch without breaking the bank on a trend. I like that this is a knit because I think it will be a cute pop of color with a ski jacket! This comes in many colors and would be a cute gift.
Wanting: The D. Porthault collaboration with PM is beautiful! Martini pajamas? Say less! This navy dress is the perfect thing to wear around the holidays, but is great because it doesn't scream 'holiday' and therefore, you could wear it for any occasion year-round! There's a matching jacket that is giving Emily Gilmore, in the best way! The most beautiful shade of green cashmere. I got these sneakers not too long ago, and they are on sale. They're a very slim profile, which makes me feel chic and 'current'. They're inexpensive, but the quality is great. I've been searching for a beautiful silver frame since I broke ours while I was dusting... oops! I saw this one in the store the other day, and it caught my eye! Love a good velvet dress. Under $50 needlepoint personalized stockings! My husband has this as his stocking and it's adorable! Thinking of ordering this faux fur coat. Love love love this cocktail dress! So unique. Everything from that brand is so good right now. This plaid jacket is timeless. Another navy cocktail dress that is perfection. A beautiful, cozy red cardigan. Adding this tonal fair isle sweater to cart. Speaking of Fair Isle, this is another gorgeous tonal number. These holiday pajamas are restocked! Can't decide if I prefer the black or the white in this dress because the black is so chic and straightforward, but the bows really pop on the white! These blue and white pajamas look like Delft tiles. Wow, love. This tab has been sitting open in my browser for weeks. I love it so much! Anyone need a black tie gown? A coat even better than MaxMara. The most perfect flag sweater I've ever seen. A dainty eyelet lace top. I ordered these on a whim. I am doubting they will work on my hair, but I've got the itch to switch it up! My sister got two cats this year, and they are SO cute. I am going to surprise her with these pajamas! A cardigan fit for a ski chalet. This turtleneck would also fit right in your ski chalet wardrobe! I really hope this jacket comes back in stock! A dress I'm considering for Christmas Eve.
Pittsburgh: My husband picked up these sandwiches this weekend for lunch from Pane e Pronto, Dianoia's outpost, and they were SO good! People sleep on this place, but it's so worth popping in!
Amazon Rec: I can't remember if I showed you our flatware. I just bought another set. I've had the other set for 5 years, and we love it.
I got these ornaments a few years ago and love them. I found this set that looks very similar!
You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all of my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!
Smelling: I have been using and loving this all-purpose wipe brand for months. I use the smaller tub in my car, and it has saved me so many times with spills, messes, and just general wiping down my hands after workouts, at gas stations, etc. Big fan. Anyway, they sent me a holiday package this week, which was fun. Inside, they had holiday-scented wipe options, which I thought was interesting, as the ones I have in my car are unscented. Well, the Fraser Fir wipes smell just like Thymes Fraser Fir, if you are familiar with that glorious scent! So fun for the holidays. Though they come in a large package, it'll be Valentine's Day, and I'll still be whipping things down with Fraser Fir, ha!
Traveling: We have a fun little trip planned soon! I am so excited! We always try to take a family trip around the holidays, but we couldn't get all six of us to align, so just my husband and I are going to take our own little pre-holiday trip.
