Isn't this a lovely wreath. It's stylish and decadent, but when it comes to Holiday Wreaths, finding the right one is all about finding what represents your style. If you're looking for an alternative to the traditional holiday decor, this wreath is perfect if you're not sure of what to hang, here are some equally stylish options...


Main Pinecone Wreath


Red Wood Calla Wreath


I love this Butterfly Wreath from Blueprint Magazine. If you did too and would like to recreate it visit here


Beaded Wreath Silver

These are just a few options but there are so many choices for what will hang on your door.

The Stylish Stocking

As a little girl my first stocking was one of those red and white stockings with my name in glitter {anyone else have one of those? ok maybe just me}. As I got older a family friend make these adorable stockings for my family to hang and mine was a ballerina slipper. Since then I love a decorative, stylish stocking filled with character and personality. Here are a few I love just as much as my ballerina slipper.

The Quilted Stocking is adorable too (also from Pottery Barn Kids)

Last year I had a few of these on my tree.



These ornaments worked so well on the tree that even I was a little surprised. When the tree was lit up, it had a beautiful glow from all the reflecting light. If you're still thinking about how to decorate your tree, if your theme permits add a few of these ornaments to your tree.

The Sweet Countdown



I was in the grocery store last week as saw these stacked up and I had a holiday flashback to when I was 8 and barely had the discipline to eat only one chocolate each day. I love these calendars {ok, the chocolate especially}, they're such a great holiday treat. Here are a few interpretations of the Advent Calendar for your Holiday Countdown.
