Chic Holiday Pieces

 

 

Happy Friday,

I am actually excited about this weekend! I threw out so much of my old Christmas ornaments. My trees are up and I will try to take some photos this weekend. I am on the hunt for some ribbon for all three of my trees, new ornaments and new tree toppers. My trees are really bare this year, but I don’t care. I want to take my time curating beautiful, quality ornaments. I have a few more presents to buy for Christmas and my Thanksgiving menu is just about done! Everything is slowly coming together.

In today’s post I wanted to share my recent Christmas online purchases.

I cannot stop wearing these! They are so beautiful and chic! Ann Taylor did such a great job in designing these. I purchased them in black as well. I have seen lots of shoes this season with the crystal bow but none of them compared to these. So comfy as well!

 

 

So great….

 

 

 

I have been on the hunt for a pair of houndstooth heels for a while now and this is the first pair that I have ever purchased! Again, from Ann Taylor. These are on sale for $94 but you get an additional 30% off! These would be another classic shoe statement for your wardrobe.

I could not wait to see this brooch in person. I love a vintage style brooch, and this was a great addition to my winter wardrobe!

 

 

 

This is an oldie but goodie. I purchased this Ann Taylor crystal collar from Poshmark a few years ago. I don’t recall ever seeing this in the stores or online. It must be from many moons ago.

 

 

 

This dusty pink faux fur stole was a recent Poshmark purchase! I only paid $25 for it and it was brand new with tags. I loved wearing it to the office!

The last item that I purchased from Ann Taylor is this jeweled sweater jacket. It is quite warm and incredibly well-made! The jacket is very substantial. It was such a great buy. I am thinking twice about ordering it in black. 

I am loving my winter pieces for this season. There is one more item on my list. I would love to get a cream-colored tote. Something similar to this without the price tag or this.  I don’t own a cream-colored tote. I had one many years ago, but I think I damaged it. So I am due. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Wish me luck on shopping for new ornaments this season!

    Happy Friday Mrs. Shockley

    Yes!! Good luck with ornament shopping. Oh what fun. I have seen beautiful ornaments at HomeGoods this year. Martha Stewart and Rachel Ashwell specifically have the best at our HomeGoods. Beautiful heavy ornaments similar to what you may find at Frontgate. Also, Ballard Designs has some wonderful ornaments too- very high quality as well. Please so share your process. Since I’ve been reading your blog, I always look forward to your holiday finds, holiday tablescapes, etc. Everything is beautiful. My favorite may be the jeweled jacket sweater. Reminds me of Chanel. So pretty and timeless.

      Hi Mya,
      I would LOVE to order some ornaments from Ballard Designs. I have been looking at their website recently. I have taken some photos of my trees this year. I am still on the hunt for velvet ribbon! I do love my jeweled jacket. Keep an eye out for Cyber Monday!

    Beautiful new heels! They do inspire me to ask a question. On wintery snowy days, do you wear boots from your car into the office and then change into your heels? On Tuesday, I was at the office when we received an unexpected snow. I hadn’t brought boots because it had only been calling for rain! The week prior it had been 70 degrees. What a stressful walk through the parking lot it was. I’m about the only one who wears heels in my particular office, so I’m left wondering, is there an elegant way to carry heels/boots around? Have a great weekend!

      Yes Kelsie I do wear boots and put my pretty pumps into shoe bags for the winter. You may have just inspired a blog post! I will share that soon!

    The shoes darling 😍 what awesome finds. Houndstooth is the epitome of classic in my eyes. Have you checked Balsam Hill, Horchow and Neiman Marcus for ornaments yet? Definitely hit them up. Enjoy your weekend 💕🍁🍂😊
