Opened up my inbox to an amazing surprise! Bergdorfs is having a beauty sale! I did a quick little round-up of some great finds and items I’ll be shopping. Let me know if you decide to get anything in the comments below.
You absolutely cannot forget your lovely hosts this season! Family or friends, it’s always a good idea to show up with something sweet and special for them. So much goes into hosting guests, I know even when I visit my parents or in-laws, they make sure to have everything we need and ask ahead of time of things they can get us to make our stay more comfortable and I think that is so special so I can’t show up empty handed. Rounded up a gift guide for your host(s)!
JO MALONE Green Tomato Vine Scented Candle / FLAMINGO ESTATE Blackberry Vinegar / SOHO HOME Barwell Cut Crystal Champagne Coupes / GEORG JENSEN Henning Koppel Stainless Steel Pitcher / ONYX COFFEE LAB El Salvador Santa Rosa Washed Whole Bean Coffee / AVALINE The Holiday Collection / MODA DOMUS Scalloped Linen Cocktail Napkins
Starting off strong with my favorite kitchen candle, the Green Tomato Vine scented candle from Jo Malone. It smells so delicious and really livens up a kitchen space. Flamingo Estate also makes a Tomato scented candle that I’ve been dying to try but I had a sample of this Blackberry vinegar and it was so delicious. Perfect drizzled over figs and brie cheese. Serving ware is always a great idea as well as nice coffee! We can get into routines of just picking up a generic brand at the grocery store so its nice to bring over an extra special coffee to enjoy during the season. Wine is also always a good idea and organic wine from Avaline is so special. Before pregnancy I loved having their wine on hand for dinner parties, thankfully I’m almost at the end of my pregnancy so I’ll be able to enjoy wine again with my hosts.
Are you travling for the holidays or staying home!? We still are deciding what we want to do but whatever we decide, I’ll be ordering this delicious coffee or a gift basket to send to family even if we can’t make it home for the holidays.

Back with another gift guide, the pet obsessed! Mostly for those who need help finding gifts for dog lovers. Of course, I had to go a little luxurious because that’s what our dogs deserve, right!?
HERMES Tressee dog leash / NAMBÉ dog treat jar / MR & MRS PAW custom pet portrait / PETS SO GOOD Beige Linden Pet Day Bed / GUCCI Pet Herbarium print bowl / AESOP Animal Shampoo
Nothing that I love more than spoiling my pup. We’re considering getting another dog because little Lenny is getting well, old :( heartbreaking! Sofia is so attached to him, I can’t imagine her not having a dog to grow up with.
I love the Aesop wash I linked above. It smells so good and actually goes a long way so I can justify it! The Mr. and Mrs Paw pet portrait I think is so genius. I love the variety of portraits you can create and they actually look very chic, I’m making one for Ben to hang in his office at work. Lenny can watch over him there haha. Would do anything for this little daybed but Lenny is a couch dog, wish he could use this daybed cause it’s so minimal and would fit into your home without being an eyesore like most dog beds.
Are you getting anything for your pups this year? Let me know in the comments!

Well, another year has come around and it’s time for holiday shopping. I thought I would start off with a bang this year because I have done so little shopping this year for myself. We’ve been saving up for baby 2 (surprise if you didn’t see my announcement on IG, haha), and to potentially be purchasing a home once we retire from military life (fingers-crossed for the economy!).
So here is my first gift guide, the Luxury edit. It’s just like a dream list of things but also for those who are looking to go a little more luxurious this year or maybe as a push present ideas? *Cough-I-hope-my-husband-sees-this-cough.
GIORGIO BAGNARA Medium Bellini Tray / BANG AND OLUFSEN Gold Beoplay A9 Speaker / CLAUDE HOME Willow Bowl / CIRE TRUDON Ernesto Alabaster Candle / KHAITE Florence Striped Suede Tote Bag / BOTTEGA VENTA small bi-fold zip wallet / THE ROW Ravy Suede Booties / SOHO HOME Florenza Champagne Bowl, Green Marble / SPINELLI KILCOLlIN Venus YG / KHAITE Benny Leather Stud Belt
If you could receive absolutely anything this year, material-wise or not, what would it be? Money or time, no object! Let me know in the comments. I love helping everyone manifest their dream wishlist no matter how insane they might be!
Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving and didn’t go too crazy with Cyber deals. I’m thinking I might still do a quick cyber roundup since so many brands have extended past the normal one-day sales. I think is such a great strategy so you can really shop around to find the best deals. Would you guys like it if I did a ‘Black Friday’ round-up? Let me know! I’ll be posting more gift guides in the coming days so stay tuned.
