I love this light up star paper lantern so much last holiday I kept it up all year. This lantern and cord are from IKEA but I found similar on Amazon. I’d also recommend using a smart plug that’s Alexa enabled so you can turn it on my voice for an extra magic touch. 🌟

So excited to hang these paper lantern stars in Arlo’s nursery as Christmas decoration. Linking the exact stars below (they come 2 sizes in a pack), the remote control lights I put inside, and the command strips I used to hang them.

Everything I used to create my bar at home. Instead of a bar cart, I dressed up a cheap console table with a colorful patterned tablecloth. Then I styled it with beautiful accessories like vintage glassware, personalized coasters, and a lamp with a contrasting pop of color.

The best trick for keeping silver clean — use a rouge cloth to clean lightly tarnished silver. Also great for silver that can't be rinsed such as picture frames and candle stick holders.

Lately I’ve been saving tables set with candle holders and candelabras. They add so much drama - perfect for a Thanksgiving table. Here’s a round up of candle holders of various materials. To style, use a mix of colorful and plain taper candles and arrange down the table with tea lights or shorter candles - they don’t need to match!

I’m lucky I live in New York and get to pop into John Derian’s store often, but it’s so cool his whimsical style is now widely available via his Target collaboration. I love the color and charm of this Thanksgiving tableware and decor - here are my favorite pieces and how I’d use them.

It’s officially Lamp O’clock season. As the days get dimmer earlier, it’s time to banish overhead lights and flick on table lamps. Is there a spot on your counter, a console table or even your dining table that could use a warm glow. Here’s a selection of creative table lamps to stock up.

Check mate: giving gingham the due it deserves. I had previously thought gingham was fusty and musty, a little too country cottage for my taste. But seeing several examples in cool contemporary homes made me realize it’s as chic and versatile as stripes. Here’s an edit gingham decor with some inspiration for how to style it.

A special mug or espresso cup for every day of the week! I swear coffee tastes better when sipped out of a beautiful cup (no offense to the World’s Best Mom mug). They’re fun to collect and can mix and match them.

Upgrade your coffee set up with this curated brewing equipment - something for every level, preference and occasion. I led marketing for a speciality coffee subscription company and learned a LOT about coffee brewing. On top of that my husband is a coffee nerd.

Still Summer/Fall here in New York. Just when you think it’s going to turn, the temps go right back up. So I’ve settled on light weight pants and long sleeved body suit with mary janes.

Seasonal upgrade: covering my cardboard tissue boxes without breaking the bank! I’ve wanted to do this for ages but resisted because I thought it was ridiculous to spend a lot on tissue box covers and never found affordable ones that looked good. Until now.

I just found a trove of attractive tissue box covers on Amazon for less than $25 each — I got several to scatter around the house. Just the decorative yet practical finishing touch I was looking for.

I finally replaced the ugly, branded and mismatched soap bottles around my sink with uniform amber glass bottles with minimalist labels. It made such a big impact - the bottles look crisp and clean on my counter.

I searched high and low to find the right amber bottles. It was surprisingly hard to find one source with both spray and pump. I read a lot of reviews to find bottles that worked properly with no leaking or corrosion (hence why I went with plastic over metal).

The bottles don’t come with good labels so I found sources for those too. There’s an etsy store that prints and ships labels, and all you have to do is stick on. Or, like I did, you can print your own. This is a bit more of an investment upfront but so useful to have.
