december favorites

A list of all the things I loved in November and December! xo

FOOD

ALDI Melting Romano Cheese Crisps. These are absolutely delicious. Everyone has been loving them at our house – they really do almost melt in your mouth. And they are so flavorful!

Chipotle caramel chex mix. Can’t go a holiday season without it!

Nespresso Almond Cake Coffee. I basically stalked the nespresso site to see when their holiday coffee released. I grabbed this the minute it was available. It’s incredible!

FASHION

Leopard Print Moccasin Slippers. This is the second year I’ve fallen in love with these Target slippers! They are the best.

ALLSAINTS Sarris Bootie. This has been the shoe I’ve been living in so far this fall. Between these and my Sorel wedges, I pretty much don’t need another shoe in winter!

Rachel Parcell Pajamas. I am absolutely OBSESSED with these pajamas. In fact, I’ve bought a lot from Rachel’s line at Nordstrom that I adore and am so happy with. But the pajamas rank up there with my Nordstrom lingerie pajamas as some of the softest, most comfortable. The difference is that her pants are banded at the bottom like joggers. Get them!

J Crew Polartec Sherpa Fleece. I bought once of these last year after Lacy recommended it and got another in black this year. It’s sort of ugly because it’s this thick sherpa, but we both LOVE it. It’s soft and warm and looks cute if you’re running errands!

Free People Ottoman Slouchy Tunic. Third year running, my favorite. I’m so glad they brought it back in more colors. I just wish it could stay in stock!

Also, Eddie got me these shoes to wear on Christmas and to Lacy’s wedding festivities. I almost died. I am in love with them!

MEDIA

Rachael Ray 50. This book has blown me away – it’s so good. I mean, sure, it’s recipes, but it’s also a memoir of sorts. Rachael Ray is one of the influences that got me cooking in my late teens/early twenties.

What Happens in Paradise. While this series doesn’t get me in the Christmas spirit like Elin’s winter street does, I still love this storyline!!

Virgin River on Netflix. I absolutely LOVED this series on Netflix. It’s so not my usual type of show but I got hooked and couldn’t stop. I can’t wait another year for a new season!

All of my spotify Christmas playlists! Along with the Sia christmas album. It is SO good.

HOME

MacKenzie-Childs Check Carving Board. I fell madly in love the moment I saw this. While I won’t be actually carving anything on it (I don’t want to ruin it!), I’ve used it multiple times for cheese boards and it is so gorgeous.

Mrs. Meyer’s Peppermint Hand Soap. My go-to hand soap every year after Thanksgiving – it’s the only one I love almost as much as the apple cider version!

Santa Pillows. These pillows have made our house so festive and fun. They are just the cutest.

Shield Cheese Markers. Absolutely loving these for my cheeseboards. They are so fun. And helpful.

Leopard Print Salad Plates. These were the biggest hit of my Thanksgiving table! I searched everywhere for them and I found six. I love them so much.
