Hearth & Hand by Joanna Gaines launched at Target yesterday and I was so excited to check it out. Their price points are amazing, way to go Chip & Joanna! The quality is really nice, the candles smell great (all of them) and they have the greatest accessories to nail your Thanksgiving table this year. So today I'm sharing my favorite's from the collection I used to create a Thanksgiving tablescape and my thoughts on the rest of the collection. They really have everything you need for your upcoming holidays. 

I love these black rectangular flower froggers that also come in a galvenized metal too. They have a frogger inside which helps keep the flowers in place and are lined with a water pan inside. I paired them with this plaid cream & black runner and simple flowers to create a more casual feel. 

Another favorite was the place card options that were available. As soon as I saw these antique brass mini frames I knew I had to have them. You can print a name on the little card that comes with them and show it on one side or use chalk for the other side.

These x pattern salad/dessert plates are so cute! I paired them with the striped napkins which I love because they're striped and you can use them year round. I thought all their stone wear was really nice. The only problem I see with these black plates is chipping. They seem delicate so if you're hard on plates maybe the white would be a better option.

I'm sure you're all in a wrapping frenzy right now with Christmas only a couple days away. Seriously how did this happen? I always get a little depressed right before knowing it will be over so soon. So I try to savor my favorite things to do during the holidays and one of those things is wrapping gifts. Every year I choose a different theme based on what catches my eye in the store. This year I scored some awesome black, white and gold ribbon and gift tags at Homegoods (which is awesome for gift wrapping supplies) and went from there. I've also been obsessed with plaid this holiday season and while grabbing something for a client spotted this awesome plaid ribbon to add a little festive color to my gifts. I have a feeling Santa had the same ideas this year but we won't get to see those until after he comes of course. 

Here are a couple of my tips to take your packages to the next level:

-great wrapping that doesn't necessarily have a Christmas theme written all over it. I like to buy paper I can use all year round (stripes, polka dots, ikat)

-fabric ribbon (with or without wiring) satin, plaid and extra wide work great. Wire ribbon makes for easier now making. 

-cute gift tags that coordinate with your gift wrap 

-fresh greens, ornaments, feathers to finish off the look (I like to include initial ornaments to make it more personal)

Target $1 section has great gift tags. These metal ones adorned the gifts where I used labels instead of gift tags. The gift labels are from Homegoods as well as the hanging labels. These cute chalkboard labels are another option for gift tags. 

Can you believe this Kate Spade wrapping paper was at Homegoods? I love it with the plaid ribbon. The hostess gift inside was just as cute. I visited Trellis Home nearby and if you're local stop in, they have some amazing stuff.

  

I was so honored when Chairish asked me to share my ideas on how to take a room from everyday chic into holiday glam for the holidays.  Chairish is an online marketplace for vintage furniture where design lovers can buy and sell. Offering a variety of unique one of a kind pieces for your home.

I knew right away that my design inspiration was going to be this mid century faux fur accent chair because I have been in love with these since I first laid eyes on them. They're a glam statement piece for sure.  I've been obsessed with plaids and hunter green this holiday season so I wanted to incorporate them into my glam holiday room. They're so festive and bright!

1. I love using fresh magnolia leaves for the holidays and this wreath would be perfect around the faux taxidermy above the fireplace mantle. 

2. These brass lanterns from Crate & Barrel would be perfect flanking a fireplace. 

3. I use fresh greens I find in my backyard to fill in my mantle and tables. 

4. Fun gift wrap which I always love to coordinate with my holiday decor. (20% off with code FALALA)

5. Faux taxidermy deer head placed above the fireplace mantle with a wreath around it's neck. If you don't have a fireplace this would also be great for above a bar cart. This one is from Z Gallerie but I've seen a lot at Homegoods as well. 

6. Cozy throw blankets are a must have in this household and I love this black and white buffalo checked one. 

7. This chair from Chairish is to die for! A mid century modern faux fur with black and gold legs. You can't get any cozier glam then this! 

8. Luxe satin ribbon for all your gifting needs. This green color is gorgeous! 

9. I love these festive Serena & Lily stockings with the pom poms. Even more colors available online! 

10. Mad for Plaid this season and these throw pillows from Williams and Sonoma Home give the space just the right amount of festive-ness. (20% off with code GIFT)

11. Another print I'm currently obsessed with right now and I love mixing textures with patterns. 

12. One of my designer crushes Studio McGee just released these new pillows and this charcoal gray buffalo check would be a great addition to the above 2 and could be used throughout the year. 

13. An easy way to make a space more festive is to add fresh red flowers. I love red tulips for this time of the year! 

14. This green velvet mid century sofa is seriously amazing! 

15. Wooden bowls filled with pinecones or ornaments look great placed on coffee tables on top of a stack of coffee table books. I especially like this raw edge one from Target

16. Sugar Paper came out with the cutest line for Target this holiday season and these ornaments are actually gift toppers but they would also be great in the wooden bowl or attach one to a stocking with a ribbon. 

17. How cute is this little vintage heart bowl from Chairish. Filled it with rocher chocolates (although they wouldn't make it a day around here)

18. The perfect new friend to add to your coffee table. Tie a little black and white ribbon around his neck to dress him up for the holidays. 

19. These nautical striped benches from Chairish just popped up and I think I need them. Pair 2 of these with an ivory faux fur throw to glam it up next to the fireplace for extra seating for the holidays. 

20. A great way to change up a room is to layer rugs. This turkish rug has fabulous reds, black and golds to pull together the space. 

I had so much fun designing this chic to glam holiday space! If you haven't heard of Chairish be sure to check them out for great finds! Get $20 to Shop here

Welcome back! Continuing on our Fall Home Tour this week we're heading into the entry and dining room. Now that I think about it with all my bats and ghosts floating around my walls maybe we are going a little overboard over here. 

We got a little carried away with our creepy crawlers. I found this new spider web color at Target and love it. If you have no decorating skills, all you need are these spider webs. Just stretch them all around, add some creepy crawlers and it transforms your home for halloween instantly. The kids love adding these! 

Beware of our scary puppy, Finley who likes to eat leaves

We'll be finishing up the rest of our Fall Home Tour 2015 this week! 

In my frenzy at Target the other morning I stumbled upon a new Threshold home decor line of navy, gold and nautical theme items. If you haven't been to Target I suggest you go and check it out. Especially if you're digging navy like I am right now. The striped "lobstah" pillows caught my eye first but the rest of the items are pretty fab too. The anchor book ends and those navy side tables are on my wish list. 

I'm normally a black and gray with a pop of color or print shoes/bag type of girl but for summer I like color so I was looking forward to the Lilly Collection, especially since I tend to live in cover ups and bathing suits in the summertime. When I saw the preview and prices of the collection I fell in love. 

Some of my BF's and I made a plan on what we would buy, set up our target accounts online so we were ready to roll and picked a Target that we would physically to go to if the site crashed (which it did). So we raced to Target like kids running down the stairs on Christmas morning. My plan of heading to the city (because all the coastal targets would for sure have the Litzers in full force) totally backfired. It's the day before the Boston Marathon and that didn't stop my fellow line buddy from Charleston, SC who was here to run the race from getting her Lilly on. Shouldn't she be resting anyway?!! Impressed with her determination and wished her the best of luck running tomorrow. Maybe this was her warm up!
