Say Good-Bye to Cold, Cramped Toes and Hello to Bootights!


Ladies, it is leggings season! If you want to steer clear of tights that have little-to-no stretch AND barely keep your feet warm, then you will love Bootights. These unique tights that I was gifted for review have a sheer black look, but the part that covers your foot is a supportive sock. This is truly brilliant for the cold weather when you still want to wear dresses and skirts.

Off the Rack: Holiday Decor at Target


Target holiday decor

Oh, Target. You know me too well. A sequin Noel pillow; a houndstooth table runner; a monogram mug; Pottery Barn lookalike Christmas tree decorations. It's what budget-chic holiday dreams are made of. Did I buy any holiday decorations? No, but that's because my LO fusses every time I put him in his car seat, which also serves as his stroller seat. So I had to whisk him around the store quickly while making soothing car sounds ("Vroom! Vroom!" says the crazy lady.) He became suddenly quiet in the mirror aisle - apparently it's like an enchanted hall of mirrors for babies - so I carried one around with me for the duration of our visit to keep him happy. Next time I'll bring my Ergo. I ended up buying another Threshold mini mirror trio in the starburst pattern (already have the Moroccan trellis set in my half bath). I also bought a few cute things from the dollar bins in preparation for my sister's baby shower - yes, she's expecting her first and I couldn't be happier!

How are you decking the halls this season?
