Festive faux topiaries perfect for decorating your home this Christmas season! Or gift them to neighbors, friends, or the hostess of the next holiday party. My pots are from a local garden shop, but I’ve linked some similar ones! #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHoliday #LTKHome
If you’re like me then you probably have some wrapping paper that feels too cute to just use for present wrapping! That’s how I felt about some of the prints I have from @evelynhenson’s collection and after seeing some creative 3D paper stars I decided to try to make my own. If you can cut and fold and pick out wrapping paper you love then you can make these! I’ve shared everything I used to make them including the star template in case you want to decorate with them too. I have plans to make more to match our decor and even want to figure out a way to make a larger version to use as a tree topper! #LTKHoliday #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

Gearing up for the Super Bowl of table setting, Thanksgiving! Although we won’t be hosting this year I can’t help but enjoy pulling out some of my hosting bests to put together a turkey worthy tablescape using some seasonal favorites. My @thehorsehoecrab monogrammed Essential Dinner Napkins are the star of the show and inspired my color scheme for this table! I opted for the Kiawah font with my initials and their team could not have been better to work with sharing a few different thread color options and how the colors would look together. If you’re hosting this holiday season consider some sort of entertaining upgrade! I’ve linked these napkins and other favorites for the upcoming holiday from #thehorseshoecrab on my @shop.ltk. #ad #savannahga #LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKParties
Wearing a Julia Amory Jane Dress in Twilight in my guest bedroom wallpaper reveal reel. I sized up to a medium in this dress and am glad I did since a small would have fit tight across my bottom! If your figure is a bit more straight then stick to your regular size, but otherwise you’ll want to size up
Over the summer I upgraded our guest bedroom’s walls from a yellow I did not love to this Amazon grasscloth wallpaper by society social! I opted for the color whisper blue and used about 11 rolls for a standard size room (with two windows and a closet with two doors). I’ve linked the wallpaper and the wallpaper application kit that made installation much smoother (quite literally)! #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

Summer dresses that can go from work to backyard cocktail hour and even to vacations are the best kind of dresses! I love the silhouette of this Nancy dress from @brookewrightdesigns in the Vine print in pink and love it even more because it’s lined. The quality can’t be beat and it comes in multiple prints. It’s true to size and I’m in a small! I’m linking additional favorites from the brand here for you to shop. #ad

This navy pagoda mirror could be a really fun upgrade to above our dresser in our guest bedroom. Urban Garden Prints also has great art options that I could look at too! #LTKHome

My friends and I took these adorable scallop Amazon throw pillows to the friend we were staying with as a hostess gift and I may have just had to see how they look in my living room before wrapping them up 😬 There’s another pair just sitting in my cart to checkout with given how perfectly they fit in our home, but Nell was so excited when we gave them to her! I was particularly impressed by the quality of them and loved the down inserts that I happened upon to stuff them with. I’ve linked them both in my Amazon shop linked in my profile! #LTKhome #LTKfindsunder50

Home office upgrade ideas: new light fixtures. I can’t wait to replace the light fixture currently in the room that’s not quite my style and these options are affordable and beautiful! All are linked here aside from the top left one which is from World Market. Would love to know which you think we should choose!

Home office upgrade ideas: storage! I love these affordable woven baskets in different sizes from Target and have them currently organizing my closet with a few attempting to organize our office closet. I need a few additional ones for it to start feeling more organized, but with a low price point it feels like an accessible investment. We’re always trying to figure out how to organize mail and forms we need to save and this beautiful Amanda Lindroth file box would be perfect for that and is currently 30% off! #LTKfindsunder100 #LTKfindsunder50 #LTKhome
The cutest Serena and Lily lookalike lamp for under $60 from Walmart! This lamp comes in multiple colors and two sizes, but I opted for the navy one with the scallop rattan shade to use in our home office. I originally thought I’d use it on our side table, but I love it even more on our desk! I’ve linked two retailers that currently have it in stock in a variety of colors!

Our primary bedroom is coming together and I’m excited to share it with y’all today along with some of the other ideas we have for the space! Most of the furniture we already had or were able to get for a deal on Facebook marketplace making it easy to update with new pillows, rugs, and lamps and my favorite Amazon curtains upgraded with tape trim and heat n bond. I’d love to change up the art, but overall love the way our pillows combine more masculine colors on a floral print and am so happy with this rug purchase to add warmth and make the space feel grounded! What room do y’all want me to share next? #LTKhome #LTKfindsunder100
A laundry hamper that’s not an eye sore and worth keeping out in your bedroom! This one is from Amazon and I love the coloring and woven finish of it. If you’re looking for affordable pinch pleat drapes that look custom I love this Amazon pair that I added tape trim to with iron on hem adhesive. You’ll definitely need more adhesive than you think but the ones in our bedroom turned out beautifully and have a custom feel without the price tag. Ours are the natural color and we hung them with the linked rings (the curtains come with hooks) and a French return rod also from Amazon! Truly can’t recommend them enough and am eager to work on another pair for our guest bedroom too. The rug shown is Ballard’s Dori Sisal and is soft enough underfoot for a bedroom. Ballard also has sales, so be sure you don’t pay full price for it. I love the way the texture add depths and warmth to the space!

I finally convinced myself to order Ballard’s Dori Sisal Rug for our bedroom while it was on sale (it’s still on sale!!) and love the way it adds warmth to the space. The room needed some separation from the brown furniture on a similarly stained brown floor and this did the trick! Our room is square so we got the biggest size that would fit, 8x10, and it fills the space well. I love the design on the rug and the sisal is definitely softer than most! If you’ve been considering it we’re loving it so far! Our throw pillow shams are all from Biscuit Home and currently 20% off for Cyber Monday!

LAKE pajamas annual sale favorite, the patio dress! I wore this while getting ready for our wedding and the neckline was perfect for not messing up hair and makeup. I love the midi and regular length versions and reach for them so often in the summer! These would make a wonderful bridesmaid gift for your bridesmaid pajamas for getting ready on your wedding day and buying them on sale makes them a better deal!

LAKE Pajamas
Finally getting around to sharing photos from our end of October Wedding Weekend! We started the festivities with the most beautiful bridesmaid’s luncheon with family and bridesmaids thanks to such gracious hostesses. Fun fact, the house where this was hosted is the same house where Hunter & I got engaged adding to all the fun memories here with friends that feel more like family! I really struggled with what I wanted to wear for this and landed on the most perfect white dress with blue bows by @janesummersnewyork! They offer a variety of silhouettes that fit a number of bridal occasions and this style (James Strapless White Tea Length Mermaid Style with Light Blue Ribbons) was exactly what I had hoped for. I even decided to put on my wedding shoes a day early thanks to how perfectly they matched the ties!

As soon as we got our wedding photo gallery back I knew I needed some hanging frames for them and wanted a custom look without a hefty price tag. I found this set of 4 11x14 frames matted for 8x10 photos and gave them a try! The frame set comes with a standard mat with an ivory and a white side, but to give them more of a custom feel I found a bevel cut ivory mat to replace the plain one. It easily elevated the look and now we have wedding photos hanging to fill our otherwise empty hallway from our living room to our kitchen. The frames I used just came back in stock in gold, and I’ve linked the items shown in this reel below!

Our Wedding
I’ve been trying to figure out a place to store miscellaneous wedding items and Petite Keep beautifully solved the dilemma for me! Their Petite Classic Trunk is a much better option than a dresser drawer in our guest room, and the Timeless Trellis interior and embroidery make me want to open it and enjoy all the details that remain from our wedding and engagement season! As someone with a birthday around Christmas I can’t help but think of this as a great first birthday or Christmas gift for little ones to celebrate the occasion. Treasured items are bound to feel like heirlooms in these customizable trunks. The brand is currently offering 15% off site wide in honor of Black Friday! #gifted #petitekeep #weddingstorage #heirloomtrunk #LTKGiftGuide #LTKwedding
Sharing some of what I packed for my bachelorette (and one wishlist item I definitely couldn’t justify) at the lake this weekend! As a chronic overpacker I packed more than I need, but love having options. As fall styles are released many of these items are currently on sale and I suspect others will be marked down soon.! #LTKSale #LTKunder100 #LTKunder50
I had the best time putting together goodie bags for my bachelorette weekend! I used jute tote bags from Sprinkled with Pink shop with my bridesmaid’s initials on the front. Inside the bag were personalized water bottles and pool bags from the brand all in coordinating colors! Weezie Towels personalized lounge chair covers were high on my wishlist and fit the color scheme and location perfectly. Since the theme was Camp Walton it only felt right to include a Camp Cocktail in the tote! Everyone got a different flavor which they can fill with the liquor of their choice to enjoy over the weekend or when they get home. Joy Creative Shop is my go-to for personalized paper goods and their camp themed luggage rages were adorable to put on each bag. I also included their scallop notepad in the bag! It’s not a trip to a body of water without some sort of float and I found three different styles of pool rings that matched our color scheme. I got one for each girl and we ended up using them as decoration on the porch where we had dinner Friday night before putting them in the water. As for essentials, I put travel size items that may be handy over the weekend inside each of the zippered personalized pool bags. I included liquid IV, advil, makeup wipes, sunscreen, aloe, lip balm, and eye patches! My maid and matron of honor handled “branded” items to match the theme and got camp mugs, baseball hats, and hand stitched personalized bandanas that were such a cute touch. While bachelorette weekend gifts definitely aren’t a requirement, I knew I wanted to do something special for my friends as a thank you for being in my wedding and coming to my bachelorette weekend! #LTKwedding #LTKparties #LTKunder100

Spring is speeding by and with a busy few months approaching I'm excited to have the opportunity to pull some favorite items out of my closet for events we have.
