Those magical quiet moments at home during the holidays… doesn’t matter if you’re decked out with Ralph Lauren Christmas or Nancy Meyers Christmas vibes, in fact I think I pref my combination of things I’ve acquired over the years plus playful fun prints for the kids (and my kid at heart at the holidays). Grateful!

Everyone’s favorite part of my classic Christmas decor tour reel was the plaid throws! I rounded up some good ones. The best are the washable wool but absent that, go for slightly thicker with a finer gauge if you can. Festive and cozy! And most are on sale this weekend!

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKCyberWeek

Realized I’ve been going for a classic Christmas the past few years and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Red ribbon, wreaths, plaid, nutcrackers, gingerbread houses… I’ve loved them for years and they’re sticking around. This year I added a few vintage thrifted things like the mini village toy shop, went a little crazier than usual with the ribbon, and am still trying to figure out where to hang the advent calendar. Linking some favorite pieces on sale this weekend!

#LTKHoliday #LTKCyberWeek #LTKHome

Getting festive! Burnout velvet, washable silk skirt, warm and elegant suede boots… great winter dinner or party look!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKHoliday

I bet you already knew all of these, but maybe you didn’t realize that put together they make a lovely, timeless, welcoming Christmas home! These are seriously no fail! I love the wreaths I started adding a couple years ago, and the red! Goes with everything. And plaid. Ahh classic Christmas is just the best.

#LTKHoliday #LTKSaleAlert #LTKCyberWeek

Stumbled upon this COTTON sweater and I’m in love! On-trend dark brown, but it’s mostly cotton so it’s not too hot like the super fuzzy ones. It’s an oversized fit so you don’t need to size up. So affordable too!

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKSaleAlert

Can’t believe the price on these sneaks for black Friday! Been loving these this fall as a fun way to be comfortable. I sized almost a full size down. So many great colors!

Sweatshirt is super comfy and on sale, these are my favorite jeans that I think I need to order another pair of because I wear them nonstop. I cut these off, but they are full length. Also on great sale!

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKCyberWeek #LTKFindsUnder50

These stocking hangers are the safest option if you have kids and pets around! I’ve had black ones for years but I just replaced them with these gold ones for a more classic look. Plus, I’m so excited about our new needlepoint stockings, they are so affordable and also just classic!

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKHoliday #LTKHome

I was sure there had to be some scientific reason, so I looked it up. It’s called “context-dependent memory” or cue-based positive recall; when you pull out the mugs each year or choose one instead of a regular mug, it pulls up cozy, joyful, connected moments which releases dopamine. It’s the same reason traditions like music make us feel calm and festive, but it’s cool when a physical element of my home can have that impact too. Another reason our homes matter!

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

This tee is the best for layering under sweaters, or just with shorts for summer, I have it in 6 colors! It’s on Black Friday sale for $6 and an extra 15% off today. Plus these are the greatest jeans, so comfy I wore them to work from home today and ordered them in yet another wash. Super flattering, extra high waist, wide leg!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKCyberWeek

My (stash tea connoisseur) former mother-in-law introduced me to this tea and I’m glad I finally found it again!

So lovely! Cocoa shells, peppermint, lavender.

With my rifle paper co Christmas mug of course!

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

Sharing my new cute candle tree lights (currently on a great black Friday sale) and some of our favorite tournaments from rifle paper Co.! I love a classic, fun tree!

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

I like to bring in a few new things every year, but my base holiday decor is usually pretty much the same. Linking some favorites for a fun, timeless Christmas!

Whether you’re looking for a Ralph Lauren Christmas or a Nancy Meyers Christmas or a nostalgic Christmas, we all want our homes to feel beautiful, cozy, and fun for our families this time of year. My tips:

1. Start with what you have
2. Keep the base layer tidy
3. Add a few new cohesive elements
4. Let the kids decorate something
5. Keep the ornaments the kids want on the main tree
6. Bring in seasonal luxuries… and enjoy 🤍

I love this tip for increasing productivity and reducing stress! Especially around the holidays when you’re adding all this holiday stuff to you’re already full regular schedule. I use my calendar instead of a to do list for tasks that take more than a few minutes, so I don’t stress about them until it’s time to do them, and then I can get them done at a time that I thought through! Have you tried this?
Wearing this fabulous Sezane sweater I yearned for the past two Christmas seasons! And using my favorite rifle paper co mug.

I’ve been helping my friend update her kids’ bathroom and it’s done! Her style is light and fresh and a little playful, but it’s a traditional home. One of the most important changes we made was replacing the plastic slatted blind with a custom Roman shade from @twopagescurtains! I love this type of update to make a home feel more unique. My code SUZANNAHSTANLEY now gets you 27% off for Black Friday!

One of those happy moments of gratitude I get every day… my lit tree and a couple lamps on greeting me in the dark morning when I come downstairs. Thanks to outlet timers! I’m linking a couple, the simple two prong ones I use and a more high-tech three prong version that connects to a phone app. Kind of life-changing!

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday

I was a real tree purist for years but I tell ya… this has a lot of appeal. I’ve loved giving myself permission to use fake. So many conveniences 😅 And maybe someday I’ll do one faux, one real when someone else wants to help cut it down… 😉

#LTKHoliday

After debating and trying to find the absolute perfect fabric and length for a fringed skirt for this table, I finally decided to just get something that I knew would work! I found this affordable tablecloth and fringe on Amazon and put them together in 14 minutes. So much better! Love this kind of project!

#LTKHome

Starting to bring out the decor in here too. I absolutely love my holiday mugs! I love rifle for the holidays, timeless vibes!

#LTKHoliday

I have seriously agonized over my couch decisions multiple times this year. I really wanted to keep it more relaxed than two matching sofas, which sounds traditional and like it could be stuffy. But guess what… It’s totally not. This performance velvet sofa is just so comfy, fun, and perfect we decided we needed another one. It’s the Caitlin from Interior Define and I shared all the details about my order on a recent blog post, also linking it here!

#LTKHome

Some stills of the living room. I debated so long about two blue velvet sofas vs. one and I’m so glad I went for two now. It doesn’t feel too stuffy or traditional like I thought it might. Still plenty of interest (and not just from the kids’ toys in the black cabinet I don’t hide for pictures). I’ve made a lot of changes to this room this year and the effort has been worth it!

#LTKHome

These fabulous barrel sweatpants are now 40% off! I ordered six different pair of sweatpants this year to try different options and these were clearly the best. I got them in two colors!

#LTKSaleAlert

Been feeling so good about the living room, but wondering what the heck I am wearing when I work from home or am managing a busy day with the kids and to-dos. Can’t win em all. I’ll dress better tomorrow. And the living room will still look good 😂❤️🤞

#LTKHome

Tiny tiny sneak peek of some Christmas magic for this year… I loved this nutcracker embroidered advent calendar last year but it sold out! Sharing a bunch of Rifle Paper Co faves in this post. Some are 50% off as part of their workbench sale! I love Rifle for the holidays, it’s so fun and versatile, goes with so many home styles!

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Perfect fall wine tasting look! Cashmere fisherman sweater, sheer brown tights, and these super comfortable suede boots I’m so excited I got myself.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder100

Now verified: the velvet Mary Jane flats from target are here and they are just as cute in person! So fun for holiday parties or even work.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday #LTKFindsUnder50

Earlier this year, I put a lot of thought into my living room furniture and picked out this beautiful blue performance velvet sofa from Interior Define. it arrived and immediately became everyone's favorite couch. My kids play on it and eat on it, we braid hair on it, I have my phone time on it, and I don't even mind when the dog sits on it since it's so easy to clean.
I decided the best option for the couch opposite was... another just like it!! Interior Define is a fabulous source for custom upholstered furniture and ordering is SO fun and easy. You can order your free samples so you can touch the fabrics as well as seeing the cool renderings on their website.
You can get 20% off your order with my code SUZANNAH20!

I love the classics, but a little updated, and with the occasional glitter marker set stored inside. Chose these lined pinch pleat linen curtains after much deliberation, love this special cabinet I got on Facebook (I’m only its second owner!), finally found the right size rug for this room… and it all adds up to a home I love that works for my family ❤️ It pays off!! Right?!

#LTKHome

Sherpa vest plus really comfy barrels that are half off! One of you asked me yesterday about how to wear barrel jeans when it’s too cold to wear anything but boots… I think this would work great with Chelsea boots! I’ll try soon and report back!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKSeasonal

The snug fit ribknit tee is a must have! I have it in at least five colors in the short sleeve version, definitely needed this one for fall! Great layering piece. Also trying these new barrels, great shape! Both 50% off today!

#LTKSaleAlert

Just celebrating that I finally have two somewhat matching/balanced vintage mirrors! Alternate caption: two years in, and I still am obsessed with my floral headboard. It doesn’t go with everything, but I *love* what it does go with!

#LTKHome

This time of year, I love love love my outlet timers. I have a few lamps in my living room that turn on around 4 PM till bedtime, but also turn on at 6:30 AM right before I come downstairs. They welcome me to a cozy home rather than a dark one!
I’m linking a couple options; I have a simple crank ones because I have two prong outlets, but I also like the idea of the smart ones!

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

Sometimes the biggest impact in a room is a well-dressed window! In my friend‘s dining room, we replaced the white plastic Venetian blinds for this lovely natural bamboo woven textured Roman shade, and for a more traditional, higher-end look, added pinch pleat Belgian linen lined curtains. Such an upgrade to this simple but lovely dining room! The shades and curtains are from @neutralcurtains and I have a discount code for you: use code Suzannah27 for 25% off! Bonus, they ship super fast! They have a ton of great options for bamboo/natural woven shades too.

#LTKHome

Well, now I’m feeling like a chump because I learned you can take oregano oil in pill form. Goes down 1000x easier! Plus it’s a much higher dose. Essential for cold season around here. Seriously it keeps me from picking up colds or keeps them for being bad at all. I take multiple times a day when I have a cold coming on! Evidence based too!

#LTKSeasonal

I feel so grateful for this lovely, peaceful room! Especially when the sun shines in that south facing window. (Which, when we bought the house, didn’t have trim or drywall around it, as you can see. 🤪) Plus I’ve always loved decorating bedrooms! What’s your favorite thing about this room?
