Best Christmas Movies
Morning everyone! Fun fact about me: I love watching Christmas movies! I would watch them year round if I could, but Blake won’t allow for that. Haha! When I was little, my sister and I would take turns picking out different Christmas movies to watch each night with my mom during the holidays. We would make a palette on the floor with pillows and cozy blankets in front of the TV and drink hot chocolate while watching Christmas specials or the movie we chose.
So now as an adult, once Thanksgiving rolls around, you can find “Elf” and “The Grinch” playing on repeat in our house, but I also love a ton of other Christmas classics too. Scroll through the list below for a full list of the best Christmas movies including some of my favorites!

I can’t wait until Beck is old enough to actually enjoy watching Christmas movies with me and we’ll watch “The Grinch” all day long on repeat! Haha!

This year I highly recommend that you check out Cherished Memories: A Gift to Remember 2 | The movie will air on the Hallmark Channel through December.
About the movie:
A year after Darcy ran over Aiden, his amnesia is gone but not their love. Now she’s gotten him a first edition signed copy of his favorite book, Patricia Highsmith’s Found in the Street, for Christmas, perfect since that’s where she found him – under her bicycle! Aiden’s also creating a wonderful gift for Darcy, a carved replica of her hometown, just like the one her dad carved for her mother. But Aiden’s gift, which includes a carving of Darcy’s beloved rec center, which is in jeopardy of closing, holds another big surprise, which might just sweep her off her feet.
Actors: Starring: Ali Liebert, Peter Porte and Tina Lifford.
Today I’ve teamed up with World Market to inspire your own Hallmark Channel Christmas Movie party. I went all out and created a mini Christmas wonderland in our own backyard to view the movie, but all of these decorations and ideas can be used indoors too.

Affordable Fashion Finds for Summer
Hey everyone, when it comes to styling outfits, you all know that I like to feature a mix of high-low priced items here on Haute Off The Rack so today I’m partnering with Walmart to show you some super cute affordable fashion finds for summer. I’ve been shopping at Walmart since I was a kid. I remember my mom taking me and my sister to the store when were little and we would always beg for Oreos and Doritos, but she rarely ever gave in. Then I would find 536,798 more things I wanted on the shoe and handbag aisle. I remember one time vividly that she actually said yes and she bought me and cousin matching black purses a small red dragon design on the corner. I can’t say I’d wear that bag today, but I still love that memory of shopping with my mom in Walmart.
Okay…one more story because I’m feeling nostalgic. When I was in middle school Birkenstock’s were super popular and I wanted a pair sooo bad, but my mom was and still is very frugal so she wouldn’t buy them for me. Well, one day we were shopping in Walmart and I spotted a pair of brown clogs that looked just like the pair I wanted and this was fortunately another one of those times that she actually said yes. I remember wearing them to the movies with a pair of jeans and a rugby polo. Good times!
Anyway, I love how these little memories of shopping with my mom pop into my head as I head into the ladies department or turn onto the snack aisle in Walmart. Haha! Speaking of the women’s department, I picked up some really cute activewear pieces from Walmart the other day (see below). I also found a ton of affordable clothing, shoes and accessories for summer that I rounded up below and they’re all available online.

Outfit: Avia Women’s Running Shorts with Side Bungees (wearing sz S) — comes in a ton of other colors! I also got the aqua. I love the high waisted fit and the built in biker shorts underneath.
Avia Low Support Keyhole Sports Bra (wearing sz S)– Super comfy & stretchy for long wears and comes in ton of other colors.
