So, yesterday was Christmas, and New Years is less than a week away! Now is the perfect time to use those gift cards and cash you got on yourself! 😉 We are rounding up our favorite pieces on sale, and favorite things to buy ourselves.
We love shopping for winter pieces like coats and cold-weather accessories, pajamas, luggage, and some home pieces like appliances and decor.
MORE RETAILERS:
AMERICAN EAGLE:Take $40 off $150, $24 off $100, $10 off $50 + 50% off clearance!
We finally got a bar cart! We had been wanting one for so long, and when we saw this gorgeous gold one on Walmart.com for $64, we had to get it! It is such a steal because it looks way more expensive than that! And, the best part is that we didn’t have to pay for shipping– major win!
We were honestly unsure of how to decorate the bar cart, and didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg, you feel us?! So many of the bar carts we had been seeing were way over $100, some over $200-$300. No, thank you!
You could also change it up, depending on the season. For example, a hot cocoa bar in the winter, spring/summer drinks, an infused water station, etc. So many ideas! It doesn’t necessarily have to be alcohol!
Walmart makes it SO easy to shop and they have super affordable pieces to add to any space in your home. Their pieces are functional, and surprisingly gorgeous! We love that they make it so easy to shop for specific items because you can shop by style, and then directly add to your cart! We personally love shopping by the “glam” and “contemporary” filters.
They also offer free shipping on any order over $35! Major plus!
Merry Christmas to all of you! We hope you are having the best time with your families. Even though we are Jewish, and don’t formally celebrate Christmas, we take this time to spend quality time with our family. As you all know, we work a ton of hours, especially this time of year. Since most of the holiday sales craziness is coming to an end, we are taking this time to slow down a little bit! To be honest, it is a tough thing for us to do because we are so type-A, and always put in 110%.
Since we are always “go-go-go”, it is nice to have a few days where we don’t post as much on Instagram, spend more time with family and friends, take some time for some self care, and enjoy this special time.
We would be lying if we said it wasn’t difficult to put stuff away, and be present. It is ingrained in our personalities, and always has been, to always be doing something. We can’t ever seem to sit still, or feel like we have made enough progress to feel satisfied being “done for the day”.
There are definitely some people (most people) that are able to “shut it off”, but that isn’t us most of the time. We remember being younger and would organize our bathroom and rooms for hours, cleaning stuff out, even when it was pretty late. We just have always had that determination.
So, the point is, we are really trying to make an effort to go on that walk without our phones, actually watch a movie without any distractions, take some time to read magazines and do that face mask we had been wanting to do for a while. If you all are feeling the same way, take this time to do the same thing for yourself!
Now, about this look, which is the most important part! 😉 These sparkle, embellished pointed flats are so perfect for winter, and also to transition into spring with. The color goes with everything (we are wearing the”dusted plum” color). We got a size 7 for reference.
We threw on this suede jacket over this cami for a fun, dressed up denim look perfect for a more casual NYE, or date night!
We got all of these cute accessories (perfect for the new year!!) at Sole Society. Their pieces are all at a great price point (usually under $100), and how cute are they?! We would say 90% of our shoes, bags, and accessories are from them, and they are by far, our go to!
It is officially the holidays! Merry Christmas to all of you all that celebrate! We both hope you have the best time with your family and friends. We will be spending ours with our parents (and Sam with her boyfriend). Even though we are Jewish (so we don’t celebrate Christmas), we love the coziness and together-ness it symbolizes.
We knew when the holidays came around, we wanted to do some updating in our living room and make the space feel cozy, but also functional. We added a few pieces from Walmart like this furry throw blanket to make it feel more “holiday-esque”, without being too much!
If you’re on a budget, which most of us are, especially this time of year, we found some cute pieces that you can add to any space in your home to cozy it up! Some throw pillows like this gold texture fur one and this fringe one are great to throw on the couch, or even on the floor for a little nook.
This furry throw blanket just makes you want to grab a good book or a hot tea and be lazy all day!
We added these ghost chairs, which can be moved around your house, depending on where you want them to be. They are clear, so they don’t take up a lot of “visual space”, and aren’t too heavy (both physically and presence-wise). We move them around from our kitchen table to our couch area, and both spots they look great!
You could also put them at your desk in a home office!
We love that Walmart makes it so convenient and affordable to add some holiday decor to any space in your home. Their pieces are functional, and surprisingly gorgeous! We love that they make it so easy to shop for specific items because you can shop by style, and then directly add to your cart!
They also offer free shipping on any order over $35! Major plus!
We know it is not even Christmas yet, but NYE is less than two weeks away, so we wanted to start giving you all ideas of outfits you can put together! If y’all are like us, you don’t like to go buy an entirely new outfit that you will probably only wear once, so we wanted to share a look that you can style with pieces already in your closet, and maybe just add one or two new pieces you can mix and match with like this sequin bomber jacket.
We love that this bomber jacket adds a little sparkle, without being over the top. You can totally dress it down with jeans, too! We love adding a little sparkle to a NYE outfit, why not?! Every time we have gotten something that is too sparkly, we find ourselves not really wearing it again, so this jacket is the perfect amount of shine and sparkle!
We also found some other cute sequin options for NYE here!
If you’re a little skeptical about buying stuff off of eBay, we were, too, BUT ever since we started buying some harder to find pieces, or designer pieces we had been on the hunt for, we have been hooked ever since!
80% of their pieces on there are actually brand new, and not used, and you can filter your shopping that way for easier browsing! They also have free 2-day shipping on most orders, which is a game changer, especially for the holidays coming up!
Can you all believe that Christmas is only 4 days away?! And, NYE is only 11 days away. December and the holiday season is flying by! We are probably going to be in our sweats for most of it, but we will probably get a little dressed up for some of the holidays, and will be wearing something comfy, but cute like this outfit from Express— loving these black joggers!
Y’all already know we are obsessed with everything they have, and what we love especially about them is that they have so many petite options!
And, while we are on the topic of the holidays, we wanted to give you all three easy tips you can do to stay healthier during the holidays. We know it is a crazy busy time of year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun, and still stay on track, without totally falling off the wagon!
Get in a quick 30-minute workout at home– use Youtube or check out some of our workouts here.
Sip on healthier cocktails (some ideas here) and drink LOTS of water in between to stay hydrated!
Have a light snack before heading out to a party or event, so you don’t arrive HANGRY! haha. Check out some snack ideas here.
And, if you all are still looking for some outfits for NYE, we have a few ideas below:
