How to create a beautiful table setting

This week I'm sharing tips and inspiration photos on creating a beautiful tablescape for Thanksgiving. Let's be honest, we're all too busy to get all fancy and so that's why I'm here to help you pull together something beautiful with things we have laying around the house.

Layer colorful vases and candles in the center. Add pops of color with bright flowers and brightly colored fruit like oranges and pomegranates and tie the look together with coordinating table linens.

Reuse the pumpkins sitting around from Halloween for your centerpiece and build around that. Add some natural elements from outside as fillers with a couple of tealights. Simple linens (I'm obsessed with these from Serena & Lily) and gold silverware to add some warmth.

I'm loving the birch look and these are actually candleholders. Line them on the table with some pine cones. The kids will love searching for them and saying they helped decorate. I like these natural placemats with the gingham napkin. Tie some twine around them and you're good to go.

Finally!!! A Flower Delivery Service that's worth it

Who doesn't love receiving flowers? I buy them weekly to keep around my house because they just lift my mood. But I always find it difficult when I want to send flowers to someone farther away and I can't find any unique options. Well, worry no more because I just discovered the prettiest flower delivery service. Farmgirl Flowers!

Not only do they create amazing floral arrangements but they are helping our country by providing local farmers and businesses. Their trademark burlap they use to wrap the bouquets are upcycled local coffee bags. How earth friendly amazing is that?!

They offer bouquets and adorable gift boxes as well. If you live locally (San Fran) you can get them delivered by one of these super cool delivery ppl.

Fall Bootie Favorites

One of the best parts about fall is obviously the clothes and shoes, right?! Besides a fun heel, boots are probably one of my favorites, especially if they're comfortable. I'm loving booties lately and have been asked by a couple friends what my favorites are so I thought I'd do a little roundup of some booties. Over the years I've learned that there are some things you should invest in and some things you can get away with the frugal option. Purchasing a good pair of boots is one of those investments, especially snow boots in New England!

There are some amazing sales going on right now with some of these boots! The links to shop are listed below.

FIRST ROW: TOMS Suede Booties // Navy Suede Bootie (25% off with code FALLREVAMP) // Splendid Lakota Bootie (soooo comfy)

SECOND ROW: Dolce Vita Grey Suede // Sam Edelman Fringe // Lucky Brand

THIRD ROW: Chinese Laundry Peep Toe (ON SALE) // Black TOMS // Cole Haan Gray Suede

FOURTH ROW: Old Navy (Great Deal!) // Schutz Black Peep Toe // Sorel Wedge Winter Boots

RIDING BOOTS:

Brown Tall Boots // Black Tall Boots MAJOR SALE!!!! like too good to pass up sale

Struggle with how to wear or cuff your jeans in booties? Here are some cute looks that show you how to style them

Probably my go to with jeans and booties. Cuffing them and leaving a little ankle exposed. Make sure you can't see your sock when wearing this way.

Relaxed boyfriend jeans with relaxed booties

Here a skinnier Jean/jegging works well with a wedge bootie.

I love the color of these over the knee boots that she paired over leggings

This is a trend that took me awhile to get into because if not styled or paired the correct way they can make your legs look short. So I stick with a dressier black bootie with a low opening.

This whole outfit is just adorable and that red leather clutch! I may be saving this look for Christmas this year.

Wrapping Up a Great Halloween Weekend

Phew....that's a wrap!! Anyone else feel like this past week was chaos? I know I have and for the first time ever I already have my Halloween decor down and started making a Christmas list for the kids. Mostly because we were lazy and laid on the couch in a sugar coma all day yesterday.

Here's a little recap of our fun Halloween week. P.S. Never show your child Pinterest for pumpkin carving ideas.

This was also our second time dressing up as a Star Wars family. Hubs wins award for best costume 😜
