Let’s start this post off by saying if you’re not ready to talk about Christmas yet (and that’s totally okay), head over to my October Edit for more Thanksgiving and Fall vibes. However, my job requires me to start holiday planning and shopping early, so that you have the time to gather inspo and shopping recs from me!

I’m looking forward to putting up our tree and decorating our apartment with all things Christmas (like this festive block print tablecloth, throw pillow, or adorable napkin rings). It’s also the time where I start thinking about the gifts I want to give the special people in my life. For all of my gifting ideas, check out my holiday gift guides that launched recently!

While we’re talking about gifting, some of my favorite items to both give and receive are beauty sets like this one from Charlotte Tilbury or this one from SK-II because it’s always smart (and fun!) to test smaller versions of new products before committing to the full size item.

On the festive fashion side, one of my favorite parts of Christmas are all of the darling tartan and plaids!! While I’ve been browsing, I’ve stumbled upon this fabulous tartan jacket that would be perfect for a get together with friends and this plaid ruffle neck dress that would be perfect for Christmas Eve. If you’re looking for a seasonal item that’s a little more subtle, I’d suggest going with velvet (like this dress, headband, or shoes).

Although gifting, caroling, and baking are all fun parts of Christmastime, of course Jesus is the true reason for the season so I’d highly recommend this devotional in December as well. It’s the one I read every December! xx
