I’m already doing better about the Life Lately posts! Second one this month :)

 

Our front door dressed for the holidays. I have a thing for plaid doormats.

 

 

We had our annual Christmas party this past Friday. I never do a good job of taking photos throughout this night for some reason. I do have this on my camera roll from right before it started and am so glad we took the time to snap it. I’m wearing this new black wrap ruffle dress and you can’t see my new sparkly earrings I’m wearing but trust me they’re SO fun, check them out here. Also, I mix pom pom garland with my garland.

 

 

I did snap this photo of Anna the next morning after the party floating on the swan

 

 

Josh had a birthday and we celebrated with a night at the Dewberry Hotel. The kids helped me decorate the hotel room with balloons and it looked so good. We had friends meet us at the lounge bar there because the hotel is dressed to the nines with the most amazing holiday decor right now. Such a fun night. We went to the spa the next morning and it was amazing as well.

 

 

The birthday boy. I’m wearing this dress (a look for less here), a Chloe bag, and these big blue earrings.

 

 

The kids love our Christmas train track. It was my grandfather’s.

 

 

My friend Molly hosted an amazing night with the founders of La Ligne NYC. The two blondes seated met while working at Vogue and left and started their brand devoted to stripes. It was a lovely, inspiring night and a lovely collection. I especially love this sweater.

 

 

Poms on my plaid toes. Also a plaid vest. And speaking of sweaters, this one is amazing.

 

 

I love Charleston this time of year, there are so many fun things going on and great excuses to get out to my favorite local shops. This was at Candy Shop Vintage with Deirdre and Elizabeth. My coat is Kate Spade and my gold crinkle leather heels are here!

 

 

Our little tree in our mudroom. This lil guy just makes me so happy.

 

 

And finally here’s a picture from an amazing afternoon at Out of Hand with sweet friends and the founder of RMS Beauty. Rose-Marie gave us all her tricks and did our make up and it was such a fun day. My favorite RMS items that you HAVE to try – the Living Luminizer, the Lip to Cheek Color, and the Volumizing Mascara.

I’m really excited about today’s gift guide. It’s centered all around art and I pulled all of these pieces from Charleston Artists Collective. Over the years I have found lot of favorite pieces from here. As the name suggests, it’s comprised of Charleston based artists and focuses on affordable, original art. Plus 5% of each sale is given to local charities!

 

Their website is extensive (and so is their local here in Charleston), and below are just a few of my favorite pieces available right now.
