I have been impatiently waiting for Thanksgiving to pass before decorating the house for Christmas and now we’re finally here!   We had a lovely time with my father’s family over the holiday.   This was our second year hosting Thanksgiving and we have been working on stopping and marking the holidays in full for Baby R.  He’s only sixteen months but he really enjoys it, and our goal is to make his childhood as magical as possible.   I have been waiting to unleash this table from Juliska for ages — they are one of my favorite homeware companies (we used for our wedding) and their holiday collection is superb!!

I grabbed these beautiful gold placemats a few months ago and have used them on every special occasion since (still need to get the silver which would be perfect for New Year!).   They are delicate and tasteful and make any table sparkle.  I love how festive they are paired with the Christmas plates and tartan napkins!!   These champagne glasses are also so beautiful and perfect to collect for many special occasions ahead (would make an excellent Christmas present as well).  A simple garland adorned with pinecones (from Michael’s!)  and lots of votives complete this holiday table look.

I live in Rhode Resort in summer and dark green silk is the perfect attire for a holiday party, I also love this red velvet.  Comfortable, sexy and easy to wear, it is my favorite dress for this season — well picked Hampden Clothing!! And of course the earrings are a must xx
