Y'all loved my post from last year on Easy DIY Hostess Gifts so I wanted to bring you more this year. To be honest, I'm not the best DIYer which is why I asked my girlfriend Ginger from Urbanology Designs to help. She's my go-to for decorating, hosting, etc and when she was helping to decorate my home for the holidays, we also go to work on these ideas. ...

2020 Gift Guide: My Wishlist
Alright y'all, I've shared Gift Guides for just about everyone on your list (couple more coming in December), but since Austin asked...I also created my own Wishlist which I thought I'd share. As a blogger, shopping is essentially part of my job and I'm actually pretty good about putting on the blinders. So when it comes time to developing my own wish list, it usually consists of things I've had my eye on for a while but haven't *needed*. And while I don't *need* any of these items, they sure would be nice to have! ...

Scarves and hats seem to be the accessory of choice these past few days in Dallas. And I am loving this excuse to throw on cozy layers. A few weeks ago, Austin and I went to a local tree farm. It was the first day Dallas started to feel that winter chill (which was fitting considering we were there to pick out a Christmas tree). It was a great excuse to pull out my favorite winter accessories. My trusty Free People Scarf (remember my tan version? Yep, it's back in more colors!) and pom pom hat from Nordstrom were the perfect addition to my cozy, neutral outfit. ...
