Holiday Home Tour

Hey everyone, today I’m sharing my holiday home tour with World Market just in time for Christmas weekend. This is our second Christmas in this home, but our first Christmas as a married couple and with all of our new furniture so naturally I had to document it! You can see my kitchen in yesterday’s post here—>Top Kitchen Appliances For Less

We recently purchased the Samsung Frame TV to hang above our mantle for a cleaner look. It makes such  huge difference because you can set it to different paintings or your own photos when the tv is off. We also just renovated our fireplace this year from red brick to marble. The white marble really brightens up the whole room.

Here you can see how we set the tv to display one of our own high resolution photos.

You’ll notice that most of my decor is from World Market because they have such a huge selection of affordable decorative pieces for your home.

We use our guest closet for all of our extra outerwear so I created a mini closet using a rolling rack for my guests to use for their clothing & suitcase. I also keep a full length mirror in the room to make the bedroom appear larger. Last, but not least I leave a robe and some slippers in the guest room along with some bottled water in the bathroom. I also think it’s a nice touch to leave a sweet little treat and hand written note or photo in case they arrive during the nighttime when we’re sleeping.

Top Kitchen Appliances For Less

Hey everyone, today I’m sharing two of my favorite kitchen appliances to use during the holidays that you can find for less on Ebay.  From holiday tablescapes and festive décor to those key kitchen and home appliances, find everything you need to get your home holiday-ready on eBay. I love getting to use my copper Kitchenaid Mixer to cook and bake holiday treats and our Ninja Coffee Bar always comes in handy when we’re entertaining guests. We of course use our Ninja Coffee Bar every morning to brew our daily coffee, but it’s especially ideal when you’re trying to accommodate multiple people since it offers so many different settings and options.

I had the copper Kitchenaid Mixer on my list for years before I actually go it and it is 100% worth the splurge!  The beautiful rose gold color really pops against my grey backsplash in my kitchen and totally elevates my countertops. That and the fact that it makes baking so much easier.  Let’s be real here though… most of us just love how pretty of an appliance it is whether we actually bake or not. And I’m here to tell you that it does live up to it’s prettiness! LOL

As for our Ninja Coffee Bar, I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about this appliance a lot considering we use it everyday. It’s completely changed the coffee game for us. In fact, we usually prefer drinking coffee at home now instead of running out for a coffee drink.

Both of these kitchen appliances are available on Ebay along with plenty more kitchen accessories and electronics I love like espresso machines and the famous Dyson Cordless Vacuum. Be sure to keep an eye out for eBay’s daily deals here—> www.ebay.com/deals

Did you know that 81% of all merchandise sold on eBay is new and available with the “Buy It Now” option? That means you’re getting amazing deals on brand new items!

We’re hosting a Cookie & Hot Cocoa party this weekend for all of our friends to get together for Christmas and I plan on setting everything up very similar to how I did on National Cookie Day.

What are some of your favorite kitchen appliances?

Velvet & Sequined Holiday Party Outfits

Happy Friday everyone, if you follow me on Instagram, then you know I’m currently  in NYC for a fun holiday trip and that I froze my butt off on the Brooklyn Bridge shooting some holiday party/NYE looks for you including these super cute jumpsuits in today’s post! I’ve teamed up with Express to style two eye catching outfits for you that are sure to turn heads at holiday parties this season. Express offers a wide selection of sparkly dresses, jumpsuits and tops as well shiny velvet pieces too. I especially love this sweetheart velvet jumpsuit I’m wearing in today’s post as well this gorgeous green sheath dress.

Are you a sequins & leather kind of gal or velvet & faux fur? I love both! No matter your style, you’re bound to find an outfit at Express to help you shine this holiday season. Scroll through this post to see how I styled these two velvet and sequined holiday party outfits from Express.

How stunning is this luxe velvet jumpsuit pair with a faux fur shag jacket and some metallic heels? The jumpsuit also comes in black, but I love the pop of color in burgundy. If you’re not a jumpsuit kind of girl, I highly recommend this velvet green sheath dress that I also picked up at Express.
