white parka // j.crew

Burrr! The temperature is certainly starting to drop here in the Sierras and we even got some snow over the weekend. So, I’ve swapping out all my summer tees for sweaters, mittens and coats. Because bundling up is a necessity around here, I’m always on the look out for stylish layers. I’m loving this winter white parka by j.crew (above) and might put it on my wish list for Christmas. However, I spotted several other items that caught my too and created a Holiday Gift Guide for Her from my favorites.

With Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away, I thought I’d kick-off my 2016 Holiday Gift Guide with hostess gifts. When attending a Thanksgiving dinner or upcoming holiday soiree, it’s always a good thing to bring a little something for the hostess. When considering hostess gifts, it’s always best to give a gift that you would like to receive yourself. If you love it, odds are they will too! Here are some of my favorite hostess gift ideas for the 2016 holidays. From festive candles to plaid kitchen dish towels, there is something here for everyone!

Thanksgiving Decor Inspiration

November 7, 2016 · Comments { 0 }

Our kitchen – great room renovation has taken five long months, but we are thrilled with the overall result.
