Long gone is Thanksgiving, and instantly shined Christmas lights. I started my decorations outside earlier this year, but didn’t officially light everything and put up the tree up until the Friday after Thanksgiving, it just doesn’t seem right if it’s before. So now everything is about Christmas, and boy do I love my Christmas tree this year. Each year I change up how I place decorations around the house and the tree, and this year I decided I wanted to really stick to my love of white and gold, well as much as I could in my parents’ mostly dark wood and traditional home. This is kind of the time they allow me to just decorate however I’d like and thank goodness, because there’s nothing getting between me and my love for Christmas. You feel me, no really there’s a word for us, Holiday Overachievers {read this and you will totally picture yourself or someone you know ha}.
But I don’t know what it is, I’ve moved my office to a make shift one in the living room just so I could work alongside the beautiful lit tree. Yes, I’m just a little girl at heart who loves Christmas and this magical season of giving. This weekend, I’ve finally convinced my parents to donate some “pointless” items they’ve been hoarding, including my childhood bike. Then it’s my first holiday party of the season, before a hopefully relaxing Sunday watching but of course holiday movies and wrapping presents. Hope you are enjoying this holiday season, and let’s not forget what this time is really about. Happy Weekend!
Soft sunset skies. 
I don’t often take fondant cakes, but this pretty pink fondant flowers was simple and cute not to take on. 
It’s December in New Jersey, and the roses are still so beautiful. I know the warnings for an even brutal winter are there come January, but this warm-weather girl is loving these above average temperatures. 
Possibly the nicest package I’ve gotten, and best splurge on myself. I can’t wait to use my Simplified Planned by Emily Ley. 
There was plenty of pie this Thanksgiving. 
I’m quite obsessed with these crystal ornaments my mother was generously gifted. 
You can’t beat Christmas crafting alongside a lit tree. 
Seriously I could live in an Anthropolgie kitchen, I mean this rolling pin and muffin tin aren’t necessary but they’re just too pretty. Hey, Santa are you listening, this whole collection sure looks like a very nice gift!
