the holiday season

Happy Monday my favorite people!

Well it's finally arrived. We are officially in the holiday season! I know that many people like to drink the Christmas coolaid prior to munching down on their Thanksgiving turkey. However, I (the Jew from Elkins Park- if you don't get the reference, The Goldbergs is based off of a family in my neighboring town) am a strong advocate in not bringing up Christmas, until after Thanksgiving. And since the Turkey is fully digested, and the tryptophan has passed through our blood stream, we can officially start on the holiday festivities.

Get ready for the holiday decorating, gift guiding, inspiration sharing madness! I know, you're so excited. But before we dive in on the holiday sparkle, I thought I'd post one last pure random inspiration to start your Monday off right. Enjoy!

turkey day

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow American friends

While the turkey's in the roasting, the stuffing is cooking and the pie is baking, I thought I'd share some holiday table inspiration for anyone like me, the none cook of the family. I've tried, but tend to get pushed out of the kitchen on days like today. In turn, I leave all of the cooking up to my family. That's what family's are for, right? But one task I do always take on is the table. So for anyone who put cooking priorities over making their table sparkle (and don't have an awesome family member like me around) here are some last minute table ideas to make your dining room beautifully festive and leave your guests amazed.

Enjoy & Happy Holidays!

fashion meets interiors // who what wear

Let's be serious, there are a countless number of lists on the internet right now. Whether it's the 14 filthiest, germiest things you touch all day, every day, 13 photos of Pets on Chic Furniture Just because, or even 17 Things You should Never do While Drunk, it seems like the web has gone list crazy. 

To keep in trend- and because I, myself, love lists- I decided to steal this list from the fabulous people of Who What Wear, and turn it from 3 Easy Ways to Dress Up Any Fall Outfit to 3 Easy Ways to Dress Up Any Home. Enjoy!

"A studded jacket or a metallic blazer or biker jacket can dress up even jeans and a tee! A metal belt can add instant glamour to an all-black outfit, and you can’t go wrong with a sequin or glitter clutch."

The same thing can be said about your space. Adding that bit of sparkle is always key. Whether it's a festive twinkle light or a shiny mirror back splash, adding that extra touch of light will always dress up any space.

"Fringe can add a luxe element and elevate a look instantly, as can metallic embroidery, delicate lace, and rich leathers. Try a cream mohair cardigan for an especially high-end texture!"

Adding texture to any space is super easy and would also elevate the room instantly. Try incorporating a jute woven basket or even a gorgeous piece of wood furniture. This will turn any space from frigid and harsh, to warm and inviting.

"You basically can’t go wrong with an animal print in the cooler months. Try a leopard ankle bootie or a snakeskin handbag or pump."

Who doesn't love a good animal print? Whether it's a fun zebra striped pillow, or a lush faux fur throw, you really can't go wrong with adding a bit of ferocious decor.
