How to Cherish the Christmas Season

Plaids make everything so warm and inviting . . . . Romancing the Home. . . . Tartan Book Covers:

I always feel like the holiday season passes by so quickly, especially with the added pressure of junior year term papers and exams! So here are a few tips on how to cherish the holiday season as much as possible!

Make a christmas playlist
I love spotify and Apple Music, and being able to organize all your favorite songs in one place is fabulous! Check back laI ter for my christmas playlist

Put some christmas decorations at your desk
My desk atmosphere is one of the most important things when I sit down to study or do homework, so during the Christmas season I like to have a few decorations out (like this banner!)

Watch Christmas Movies
I enjoy listening to/watching moves before I go to sleep, so just to be a little more festive I like to switch it up and watch some christmas movies during the holiday season instead! Here is the ABC Family 25 Days of Christmas schedule

Make your friends Christmas cards

I think handwritten letter are the most sincere gift you can give, and I also love experimenting with new "calligraphy" styles (check out my post on how to fake calligraphy)

Do some Christmas crafts
I don't know about y'all but Pinterest is literally my favorite thing (follow me) and I love getting inspiration from there to have some festive craft days, like how cute are these DIY candles?

Gingham and Bean Boots

I am a huge gingham fan, and with the colder weather coming I love layering button downs with sweaters!

I am a Jadelynn Brooke High School rep! Use my code NHSMB for 20% off on their website!

I absolutely adore Moon and Lola and this pineapple bracelet is the cutest thing!

Bringing back the duck face?

I am in LOVE with my bean boots! these are the 6" pair and I had to call so many stores before I finally found one that had them in stock! If you don't want to wait for the backorder (currently all pairs are backordered until February!) call around the L.L. Bean stores and ask for your size, they'll ship them right to your house!

Happy Friday!

Gift guide

Merry Christmas! Now that thanksgiving is over I can really embrace my Christmas cheer! These are some of my favorite gift picks this year!

These Ray Ban sunglasses are definitely on my must have list! I love the blue tint and the mirrored style, just basically everything about them.

This Kate Spade mug is just adorable. I drink either tea or hot chocolate very night so this would definitely be used often!

Also, how adorable is this Kate spade polka dot clutch? I adore gold accents and I am always looking for wallets, as I am a bag-aholic!

I already own the Kendra Scott pearl "Elle" earrings and I would recommend them to everyone, they are my most favorite pair of earrings and go with everything! This year I'm asking for the pink pair, every outfit needs a pop of pink!

I absolutely adore this Tory Burch Robinson cross body is at the very top of my list, it's such a classic bag and I think it will go with everything, I love the classic caramel leather color and the subtle gold details. Another thing at the top of my list are the green Hunter boots, I feel like everyone has the black and so I thought these were a nice neutral color without being too boring.

I am so freakin' excited about my bean boots coming! They should be here by the end of the week and I am literally counting down the days, so these cozy fair isle socks are going to be so cute with them!

Kendra Scott is my favorite jewelry brand and they have the most adorable travel case for your earrings and bracelets, they have the perfect little holes to keep all your earrings organized and even pockets for your bracelets and necklaces! The red color is on sale right now for just $30!

I have been eye thing this Daniel Wellington watch for almost a year (please santa!) you can actually get it for 25% off only during the holiday season with my discount code from countryclubprep.com , email or DM me for the code!

I am always looking for cozy blankets and this Limited fuzzy blanket is to die for! It's so soft and fuzzy and goes perfectly with any room decor.

I saw these Frends headphones on my very favorite youtuber's channel (Danielle Marie) y'all should totally check out her channel, her style is perfect and she makes the most amazing videos!

Okay, who doesn't love a good slipper & PJ's combo? I love pajama sets and usually get one every year from my mom, these J.Crew tartan ones are adorable and so christmas-y! My sister actually has these Ugg slippers and I am forever stealing them, so I am for sure asking for a pair of my own this year!

I love anything monogrammed or gold or sparkly so of course this monogrammed necklace and bracelet speak to me, as well as this adorable J.Crew bling, appropriately named the "cupcake necklace" and cupcakes are my favorite so of course I need it! They just recently put a Moon and Lola at my mall and this monogrammed bracelet is so adorable as well as the rest of their products!

Last but not least I think the Naked Pallette is a must-have for every girl and I use mine all the time! Also, how adorable is this Kate spade polka dot clutch? I adore gold accents and I am always looking for wallets, as I am a bag-aholic!

I hope everyone has a merry holiday season and that this gift guide helps y'all for ideas, because I always magically forget what I want right at Christmas!
