Wishlist: For Her

I wanted to join the party and put together a pretty wishlist of some of my favorite things:

The Fifth watch // stone earrings // blanket scarf // Creme de la Creme tray // rose gold Tieks // copper coffee set

merino wool eyemask // splatter rain coasters // Cordilla strips // leather laptop case

I actually have this watch and LOVE it! Definitely add it to your wishlist! This laptop case and coffee set are so chic and I love the shimmer of these Tieks.

Happy Shopping and Happy Friday!

Home for Christmas

We had the most amazing visit home. One that definitely made us miss home even more once we got back to Dublin.

You can see my first home recap here, which included a trip to Boise to surprise my best friend, a bowties & babes themed dinner party and a Cirque du Solei show in San Francisco!

The next week was a whirlwind of my brother's birthday, another best friend's birthday and lots of Christmas celebrations!

After Christmas, the bird and I headed south to Orange County. We spent the last three days of our trip with friends... including New Years Eve!

Home is definitely my happy place!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and New Years celebration as well!

Holiday Party decor

I so meant to post a recap of Copenhagen this week... and I completely failed. It was a wonderful city and great mini trip! I will definitely get some pictures up next week.

Today I am putting together a little post for holiday party decor. Christmas time is without a doubt my favorite time of year. The festive feel in the air gets me everytime. And what better way to kick off the festivities than a holiday party!

gold charger // polka dot plate // striped straws // christmas crackers

wine set // holiday invitation // wine decanter

napkin ring // mercury candles // gold candlesticks

I have never done Christmas crackers... and in Dublin they are everywhere! I think I want to bring some home this year for the family and I to pop open on Christmas morning. I also love the idea of using them as favors at a holiday party! And how gorgeous are these invites!?

I hope you have a fabulous weekend full of holiday party goodness!

Stocking Stuffer ideas

I'm fairly certain that stockings are one of my favorite gifts on Christmas. I love all the little goodies I get to stuff for the bird's (and my mom's) stocking. And they always do such an amazing job with mine.

So I was thrilled when Jaime from La Vie J'amie reached out to me for a guest post on Stocking Stuffers!

Here are some of my favorite gifts ideas that you can add to your stocking stuffer wishlist!

Head over to La Vie J'amie for all the links!

Happy Holidays

Sending you the warmest wishes for a very Merry Christmas.

Christmas Cards

This is the first year I have ever sent out Christmas cards! Its very exciting. So the bird and I chose a lovely photo from our wedding via Vero, our wedding photographer.

I also dolled up the envelopes a bit with address tags.

Here are some of the supplies I used:

craft paper // hole punch // bakers twine // gel pen // tape dispenser

Home for Christmas!

As you may have read a couple weeks back, the bird and I will be off to Ireland soon! So very exciting!

We have been in limbo mode, waiting on our visas/permits, not knowing when we were going to go. But we found out just yesterday, that we will still be home for Christmas. FABULOUS news!

So I immediately broke out our Christmas decor boxes and put up a tree!

Now it feels like Christmas!

And our tree!

And our favorite new ornament, from Lovely Little Details! (by Paloma's Nest)

We're going with the minimalist approach this year, as we have to be out of our house the day after Christmas!

We got renters for our year in Ireland and they're-a-moving-in quick!

Pinsday!

Happy Wednesday!

I have another fun filled Pinsday for your viewing pleasure ;)
