Every year when the temperatures begin to drop it takes everything I have to not start breaking out my Christmas decor and start decorating the entire house! This year I'm caving a little early (we usually don't start decorating until after Thanksgiving), but with the cold we've been having I decided it was necessary to get a head start. For my decorating, especially Christmas decorating, I love mixing classic pieces with more modern ones. Take the stripe container for example, it has a classic metal design with a modern, Christmas-y print (and is perfect as anything from a flower and candy cane vase to a card holder!). The Kate Spade ornaments are another obvious staple with an adorable modern twist - I'm hoping to decorate with a more neutral pallet of white, black, and gold ornaments this year. Around this time (especially in Decembrrr) I'm also stocking up on blankets - in our climate you can never have enough! I think what's even greater about trends this year is that I can walk around wearing one and be considered "fashionable" (take that mother nature!), but back to the decor. I'm also loving the adorable "JOY" display - I think it's not only insanely cute but a good reminder during these hectic times about what this season is all about.

With the beginning of the school year leaning over head, I felt the sudden urge to re-decorate my office space. I've never had a very colorful or eye-catching space to work in, just somewhere to go to get my work done and then leave to carry out other tedious tasks. That was until lately, when I started practically living at my desk, and the drab, dull space started to have an affect on me - and not in a good way. Although, what I've noticed since I've started to update it and bring in some color and inspirational pieces (like the ones above) is that I feel more at home and inspired being surrounded by the things I love. Maybe a little materialistic and superficial, yes, but it's made working a lot less painful and even somewhat easier for me. So, try it! It doesn't have to be anything major either - a colorful piece of art, a new tray to display your favorite jewels, even a vase to hold those beautiful flowers (fake ones are great for year-round!) - just that one piece of love can make a world of difference! Also worth mentioning for all of my frugal ladies out there, I may or may not have some home decor DIY's headed your way in the upcoming weeks... stay tuned... (:

Stay Extraordinary,
