This holiday season, I’m fully leaning into the cozy Christmas vibes: the kind that make your whole home feel softer, warmer, and a little bit magical. I may or may not have started decorating on November 1st… honestly, the second the calendar flips, I’m ready for twinkle lights, fresh pine scents, and little pockets of joy tucked into every corner of the house.

This year, I’m gravitating toward simple, natural pieces: faux garlands that actually look real, soft neutrals that fit seamlessly into my everyday decor, and those sweet little holiday accents that make you smile every time you walk by. Think cozy, effortless, and just a little bit whimsical. I rounded up a few of my favorite pieces of the season, from the most beautiful faux greenery to the cutest tree-shaped candles and a few sparkly touches I couldn’t resist. Shop them all below and happy decorating!

Lately I’m drawn to scalloped edges, rich greens, and whimsical details. This mermaid art print feels like the perfect piece, and I’ve rounded up a few colorful fall pieces that bring this dreamy trend to life.

Ever since we got back from Puglia last year I fell in love with speckled ceramics, and I’m always on the lookout for any sort of speckled kitchenware. Every single breakfast we had a Masseria Moroseta used this stunning ceramic speckled setup, and I’ve been trying to replicate the look ever since but it’s been so hard to find anything similar in the US. Most of the ones you can find are enamelware which doesn’t have exactly the same vibe. Anthropologie just released this cute blue and green enamelware collection, and Sur La Table has a few gorgeous stoneware pieces, but drumroll for this one… H&M just released this speckled ceramic collection and I’m swooning over it. I collected my favorite pieces from that collection, as well as a few other speckled pieces from the internet that I’m loving… here are all of my favorite speckled kitchenware finds at the moment.

There are some major sales happening right now, and I’m pretty convinced this is Black Friday 2.0. Somehow practically no one is advertising these sales, but there are some seriously good deals happening out there. I’ve rounded up all of the best deals for you so that you can stretch your wallet as far as possible. Here we go…

Reformation

Up to 70% OFF SALE

This is one of my favorite shops, but I only really shop there when it’s on sale, which is a rarity. These prices are some of the lowest I’ve ever seen for Reformation, and I added quite a few items to my cart. Most of the sale items are more summer-forward which makes it perfect for when spring comes around in the next few months.

Banana Republic Factory

40% OFF EVERYTHING + EXTRA 20% OFF No Code Needed

Banana is such a great place to go for sleek basics, and they’ve got some great pieces for some major deals right now. It’s 40% off sitewide, plus an extra 20% off in the cart. This is such a good price for their items. I’m shopping sleek black trousers, basic tees, and skirts.

Urban Outfitters

EXTRA 40% OFF SALE ITEMS

Gap

EXTRA 50% OFF SALE AT CHECKOUT

Gap is one of my go-to’s for basics, and the sale on sale prices are pretty unbeatable right now. I’m loving all of the denims, cardigans, and tees. So many of these items are down to $20! Amazing deals.

Anthropologie Nuuly Sale

UP TO 90% OFF GENTLY-USED ITEMS

If you’ve ever wanted to shop the used items from Anthropolgie’s Nuuly rental service this is the time! They’ve clearanced out tons of items and some of these prices are unbelievable. Like $20-30 for some pieces. Keep in mind they are going to be gently-used and can have some minor wear, but if you love thrifting this is a great option for you.
