Holiday Gift Guide: For the Blue & White Lover

My love for all things blue and white is no secret. It's definitely taken off in the trendbooks for the past few years, and I've loved to see how people style their collections!

Know someone in your life that feels the same way I do? This gift guide is sure to make their day! 

How cute are these? Adorable ornament set to deck your tree, or would be darling tucked into garland on your mantle.

Tea towels are one of my go-to gifts for nearly any occasion, and this Christmas design is no exception! How cute are they?! They are perfect with a bottle of wine as a hostess gift or stocking stuffer.



I LOVE a good tablecloth and this blue and white option is gorgeous for all year long. I can see Christmas dinners, Easter and beyond hosted on these gorgeous linens!

I recently picked these pillow covers up to go on our white sofa and cannot speak highly enough on the quality. Especially for the price. Each cover is under $30 and they are the perfect navy blue to compliment any ginger jar collection ;-) 

Coffee table books are the BEST to receive.

These classic coasters are darling (and under 20!!)

I just adore these dinner napkins. Each under $20, too!

Vintage and peonies within one gorgeous ginger gar under 100?! I needn't say more ;-) 

These customized watercolor notecards are just the sweetest. I am a huge enthusiast for hand-written notes and would love to add this set to my collection. Awesome gift at $15!

A bit of a splurge, but I swear these garden stools go in any space (indoors or out!) and are perfect for all year round.

Perfect for the gal on the go, this train case is adorable, and the price is right at $30 with customization included!

I talk about these blue and white planters A LOT. Because they are that good. They come in multiple sizes depending on what you need and are perfect on a plant stand or table top. I can just see a hot pink Christmas cactus in this one!

Holiday Gift Guide: For The Home Enthusiast

One of the most requested gift guides for the season was a gift guide for the home enthusiast, the lady who loves to zhush up her home at the drop of a hat.

When putting together these gift guides, I always make sure to include gifts that I would 100% want for myself, I feel like those always make the best gifts!

First, I have to share the amazingly talented artist, Ashley Williams. Her "Babes in Baubles" collection at Christenberry Collection is absolutely to die for. I absolutely love how unique each piece is. The craftsmanship on the thick paper with gorgeous gold detailing is the perfect touch to any corner. And how cool are they showcased in these floating acrylic frames?! 

Working with the team at Christenberry Collection is so easy! If you don't already, you must follow their Instagram, which is filled with stunning one of a kind pieces, then you must! Plus, they can work with you to help create the commission pieces of your dreams! Perfect for that lady who just seems to have everything! 

Next up, a favorite from many seasons past (and not only just for the holidays!) is the Nest Holiday Candle.

The scent is truly wonderful and would fit any taste! It has perfect notes that will make your home feel so cozy, without being overwhelming. It comes in multiple sizes, starting at just $16!

Any coffee lover likely knows how amazing a french press can make their morning routine. I use my Le Creuset French Press nearly everyday and swear it makes coffee taste 10x better than a Keurig or regular coffee pot! You can also add your own grounds (which is a lot less expensive in the long run than K-cups!)

This throw is one of those "little luxuries" you likely wouldn't immediately purchase for yourself, but would be a coveted gift to any home enthusiast. Matouk is such a luxurious bed linens brand, and this blanket does not fall short...and that blue color! Just to die for. Best part, its under $100, which truly never happens for Matouk! 

I recently picked up this diffuser and it has absolutely transformed our bedroom! The scent is amazing! The price point is on the higher end for your typical diffuser, but I promise this is not your typical diffuser. When on the fence about purchasing, another woman in the store told me hers had lasted 3 years and was still going strong! One single diffuser! The scent is light and fresh, but still noticeable and I cannot wait to enjoy it for years to come! 

Ya'll know I LOVE a good coffee table book. The newest India Hicks book does not disappoint! I so admire her effortless yet refined style and always look to her gorgeous books for daily inspiration. 

The best part? Amazon is my little secret for coffee table books at nearly half off (or even more if you buy for yourself gently used!)

This vase is truly the perfect size for nearly any bouquet. We received this as a wedding gift nearly 6 years ago and I still reach for it first anytime we have fresh flowers in the house. The price point for classic Waterford cannot be beat! 

Last but certainly not least, the blue and white lover. This planter is the perfect size for indoors or out! We have one on a raised planter indoors and some for outside in the Spring as well! The quality and weight is awesome (especially when you can get with a free shipping code!)

Speaking of blue and white enthusiasts...I may just need to dedicate an entire gift guide to the blue and white loving gal...what do you think? ;-) 

Big News!

We've got some big news! 

In case you missed our announcement on Instagram, we are so excited to announce that we are expecting our first child! Baby Smith is expected to arrive late April/early May and we could not be any more excited! 

Many have asked, and we have decided to wait until the birth to find out the gender of our little one.

All you mamas out there, if there are any "swear by" baby products, send those rec's my way! We are beginning the research phase, and I must say, it is quite overwhelming! 

I am so excited to share my pregnancy journey with all of you new mama's to be out there, and get advice from all of you seasoned moms out there! :) 

New look to the blog is coming soon, promise! I'll keep you posted on timelines!
