We absolutely adore red, whether it’s the holiday season or any other time of year! With less than two weeks until Christmas, we’ve rounded up the latest red picks we’re loving! We’re super smitten with this monochromatic red look from J.McLaughlin (cashmere sweater + blazer + pant)…and right now you can use the code GEN20 for 20% off these pieces and all full-priced styles at J.McLaughlin (through midnight on Thursday, 12/14)! We’ve got these pretty red ballet flats in our shopping cart, and this classic wool coat is over 40% off today (see all of the latest J.Crew markdowns here!). It’s the last day to take advantage of 25% off of $50+ and 30% off of $85+ at Rifle Paper Co., so be sure to get stocked up on their darling holiday must-haves. We just shared our holiday wrapping and gift picks from Paper Source here (use code PPCO10 for 10% off!), and you can see our favorite Tuckernuck gift ideas and festive fashion picks here! If you haven’t ordered your holiday cards yet, there’s still time and you can save 20%…see our latest card favorites here! Don’t miss savings up to 40% off plus free shipping at Serena & Lily…we’re eyeing these embroidered sheets, this wicker chest and this painting by our dear friend Kayce Hughes, and we just picked up this charming flatware that brings the perfect bit of blue to our tabletop. Happy shopping!

We’re feeling festive with the holiday season upon us, and few things make us happier than a beautifully wrapped gift! We always turn to Paper Source for the most darling gift bags, ribbon, wrapping paper and gift tags, and we love to stock up on our favorites so we’re sure to have everything on hand. We also adore their handmade papers to bring an extra special touch to gift wrapping for the holidays!

When it comes to gifts (both to give and receive!), we love practical-meets-pretty picks like a great calendar or planner. The new year always gets us motivated to get organized and on track! We also can’t resist a personalized present…these monogrammed notecards are the perfect classic staple for everyone, and they’re customizable in lots of colors and fonts! Paper Source carries a great assortment of stocking stuffers and items that are perfect as hostess gifts and teacher presents, like this cute trio of candles.

Festive Finds!

Hi friends! We’re feeling festive with the holidays just around the corner and can’t wait to put our go-to entertaining tips and tricks to use, like embellishing a simple store-bought or shipped cake with holiday candies for a fun, party-ready touch! Our favorite glassware and serving pieces bring in a happy pop of color…just add a velvet ribbon bow for even more celebratory style! These paper ornaments are a new staple that we’re adding everywhere this year – on the Christmas tree, on top of gifts, and even around a bottle of Champagne for the perfect hostess gift (and better yet, they’re on sale today so stock up now before they’re gone!). Our favorite holiday candle is also majorly marked down right now (under $20!) so you’ll want to snap these up (they’re great to have on hand for last-minute gifts), and you can see more of our must-haves for the season here. And of course we can’t resist a bit of sparkle in our holiday wardrobe! We love pairing a vintage embellished duster (like the one worn above) with jeans for an unexpected party look…we found a few other vintage favorites here, here and here, and we’re crushing on this ruffled tulle style! If you’re on the hunt for fancier event attire, don’t miss the deals on these darling dresses (we especially adore this oversized bow shoulder detail!). We’re eyeing this paillette-covered bag for Christmas parties and NYE (it’s 50% off today!) and these colorful rhinestone earrings are so fun…be sure to check out all of the latest J.Crew markdowns here (up to 50% off!).
