The fairy lights are the key! I put 3,000 of them onto my Norway Spruce tree and I am in love. They’re fairly inexpensive and you can get them on Amazon!

If you want this tree without the work of putting the lights on, I’m linking all the places you can get it below! The unlit version comes from Anthropologie. ♥️

My secret to creating my own wall art at home. I build frames with resin moulds and gorgeous decor stamps from Iron Orchid Designs. It takes some time and planning, but the result is gorgeous artwork that’s actually fun to do and that is completely custom. The Trimmings 2 mould and Wintergrove Decor stamp are what I used for this project. I love it so much! Support a small business this holiday, and make something with your hands that you’ll love forever. ❤️

The violet velvet ribbons you need for your Christmas tree this year. So plushy and vibrant and gorgeous. If you’re going for a brighter look for your decor, this ribbon is for you. It’s 4 inches wide and wired, so you can create beautiful cascading loops and waves down your tree or in your wreath. Think of a beautiful loopy bow at the top or bottom of your wreath or staircase swags. Amazing!

The natural beauty you need in your home this season.

The Norway Spruce is absolutely gorgeous. The open and airy structure is perfect for hanging lightweight ornaments, crystals and beaded garlands. I got mine unlit and added fairy lights, which is my preferred method! Look at how beautiful it is before even one ornament is placed.

The demand for this one will hit its peak in October. So buy it now while you can! If you want more light options with this tree, go with the McGee and Co version that has 8 lighting modes. The Terrain version has steady on only, but it’s every bit as magical without eight modes and it has a timer. Terrain also has an unlit five foot version. For a more natural, scattered light look, the Ballard Designs version is the one for you with around 1000 led lights on the 7 footer as compared to 6200 plus. These are all in stock currently, but a bit low for this time of year. Buy now!

One of the world’s greatest bronzers for deeper skin tones! This is the Airbrush bronzer by Charlotte Tilbury, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to. It warms up the entire face and makes you look lightly bronzed by the sun. Not contoured, not heavy, not cakey. Just the warm glow you get from a day at the beach.

I love this one for its texture, softness on the skin and the fact that it actually has the depth to bronze skin as deep as my skin tone AND deeper. So worth it, there are four shades that stretch to fit a multitude of skin tones. There’s also a refill so you don’t have to keep buying new packaging each time. Sincerely genius. ✨

I’m linking this directly from Charlotte Tilbury’s website and Ulta if you want a local option. ♥️

For all your holiday celebrations, this @MacKenzie-Childs teapot will be your best friend. ✨ Christmas morning tea, hot cocoa parties and more, you can do it all with a little bit of whimsy added in. 🤍

A closeup of the branches on the stunning and viral Norway Spruce Christmas tree. This is honestly the most magical holiday accessory of the season, and it always sells out. Hence why I’m telling you about it now and not a few months later. 🖖🏾

The lit versions from McGee and Co and Anthropologie are in stock currently and insanely beautiful. There are a ton of lights on each, like super dense and sparkly vibes. If you want to customize your lighting like I do, your best bet is the Norway unlit that only comes from Anthro. It only comes in one height right now, but hopefully more are coming.

In any case…if you dream of an earthy, natural and whimsical Christmas tree, this one is it!

Yes to the Michael Todd Beauty Sonicsmooth device. That first layer of dead skin and peach fuzz comes right off in minutes! Such a cool little device. I vowed to stop using those tiny razors and or my husband’s shaver 🤣 Definitely worth it, all you’ll have to replace are the blades. 🤍

#LTKgrwm #LTKmomlife #LTKBeauty

The cutest ornaments for autumn that easily transition into Christmas. Faux dried oranges with a matching warm cinnamon toned bow. It’s fresh, organic and beautiful, the kind of ornament you’ll get a lot of use out of. Also so beautiful on wreaths and Thanksgiving centerpieces. ❤️

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKmomlife

Still one of the most beautiful bronzers in my collection! This one has a gel type consistency that glides on really smoothly. There’s also so much product in it that it’ll last you forever. Not to be confused with the Airbrush Bronzer , this is the Beautiful Skin Sunkissed Bronzer from Charlotte Tilbury. Both of them are amazing but do two different jobs. This one has a bit of a cooler undertone, meaning it’s closer to an actual contour product. The Airbrush Bronzer is really warm without turning orange, for a warmer glow. You could technically use both together, I dare ya.

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty #LTKmorningroutine

For your fall home decor.✨

This autumn still life framed art piece is the home accent you need this year. It’s meant to rest against a mantel, stack of old books, your favorite vase or your candlesticks I can picture it as part of a dreamy Thanksgiving tablescape or kitchen vignette. This one is hand cast, painted and detailed, making it one of a kind. Definitely pick one up from Etsy and support shopping from handmade artisans. ♥️

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

Make sure to measure your space to make sure this tree will fit! It’s 62 inches wide and very full. It’s not really a corner tree. It has to sparkle and shine and stand out on its own. ✨

The right kitchen tools matter. I didn’t realize how impactful a quality set of knives could be—from slicing lemons for homemade lemonade to those clean, satisfying cuts through a pan of fudgy brownies.

Old World Christmas will always have my heart. ✨

I've been giving ornaments new life with layered finishes inspired by antique European ironwork. The aged gunmetal patina feels like something discovered in a centuries-old château, and I love how dramatic they look mixed with greenery, velvet ribbon, and candlelight.

I'm linking these crown ornaments and other Old World Christmas favorites that capture this same timeless style.

🖤 Save this for your Christmas decorating inspiration.

Gorgeous and classic. If you’re loving for a nostalgic Christmas tree, this is the one. I love the twinkle lights and embellishments, but there’s nothing like a classic tree. This one’s from Balsam Hill and it’s been around for so long. It’s thy kind of tree that you can stuff full or barely adorn and it’ll look beautiful. 🌲

#LTKmomlife #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

The Grand Duchess’ greatest feature is definitely the twinkle mode. The lights are not super warm or cool, they’re bright though. Worth it for this mode alone? Yep. Stock is running a bit low on the 9 foot. Don’t miss out on a true gem like this. ♥️

The kind of ornaments I’m always searching for, so I decided to make them. 🌲
Hand-cast finials, finished in layers of deep antique bronze and softly burnished detail to feel collected rather than new.

Vintage luxe, but do it yourself style. ✨

I love Leben Riebe’s Christmas trees and vintage style, and it inspired me to create my own version. ✨

I took a wire cutter to an old tree and snipped branches until it resembled an open and airy shape. Then I adorned it with hundreds of candlelight toned incandescent bulbs and layers of pearl, white and crystal ornaments.

I truly love a good diy. ✨ the lights I used are linked, along with an LED version that gets really close to this soft golden warmth. ✨

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKstorytime #LTKSeasonal

Three tips for cohesive, beautiful makeup looks! So many products out there, but there are a few strategic things you can do to make sure it all blends together and looks beautiful. ♥️

Starting with eyes, I’ll leave recommendations for my favorite kohl eyeliners below. Run it on the inner curve of the eyes to meld your lashes to falsies for a dramatic but neutral look.

Mixing moisturizer into your foundation will help to smooth it out and help it melt into your skin. No demarcation lines, no caked look, just coverage that looks like real skin. ♥️ Moisturizers I love for this technique below.

Lip exfoliation is something everyone should do, it’s highly underrated I think! Use a toothbrush and swipe it gently back and forth across the lips for around 20 seconds. It’ll bring a plumping sensation naturally and make your lips appear fresh. Then apply your lip products as normal. Linking my favorite lip exfoliator below, you’ll love it!
