Dolls, let’ pick up where we left off! Ok…The tree is up, decorated and pretty darn gorg if I do say so myself! I wanted to share a few of my absolute fav Christmas décor styling tips and tricks. So, 2018 was the year of the pompom accessories, and I see no reason to stop it now. I love using pompom tassels (the kind typically reserved for pillows and drapes) as garland. I also drape this all over my mantle! It’s just so fun and festive. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…I love myself a theme! This year I went with Winter White – ...
Tree Farm Tradition
Dolls, it is go time…we are in full on Christmas madness. We’re at that particularly crazy part of the season where Christmas is right around the corner, but OMG how is there still so much left to do? I try to slow down as much as possible to enjoy the season with my hubs and kids. One of my favorite family traditions is our annual trip to the tree farm. While that might sounds like a total Hallmark moment, in reality it involves very muddy toddlers, overpriced under-branched trees and moderately decent cider. But oh is it ever so perfect in ...
Living for Leopard
What is it about Southern girls and leopard print? There is just something in that sweet Southern sass that lives for a good (but a little wild) pattern. Personally, Dolls, I think that’s just it – it’s just the right amount if wild! To me, leopard print is as much a neutral as black or taupe. Always has been, always will be. When I realized that my favorite wild neutral was going to be the leading pattern of the fall and winter…I couldn’t wait to stock up on Dress & Dwell looks! And selfishly, I couldn’t wait to see how many different ...
A Few Fabulous Holiday Recipes
My Momma is an amazing Southern cook! You name it, she’s perfected the recipe for it, and can probably whip it up in her sleep. Growing up I saw no reason I wouldn’t be the same way. Well, Dolls, let’s just say I don’t compare to my Momma. So, when it comes to Thanksgiving, I’m just not going to be the one slaving over a turkey for two days or showing up with the famous casseroles. BUT….if it’s a few amazing appetizers, a solid side dish and a good cocktail you’re looking for, I’m your girl all day! Here are a few of my ...
Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
Ok Dolls, I know we’re all finally coming down from our leftover Halloween candy sugar highs, but I have to throw it back and talk about Halloween for just a second! We all know that I’m a girl who loves a good theme, so Halloween is really exciting for me! I can’t be the only mom who day dreams about matching family costumes all year, right? This year gave me the harsh realization that this might be my last year to have as much say so in what the littles want to dress up as! I had already purchased the most precious costumes…Ada would be ...
From Market To Market
From Market To Market Y’all, we are in full on market madness! I’m currently on my way to sunny LA to scope out all of the pretties for Dress & Dwell! I literally had to unpack my suitcase from another market trip to get ready for this one. Twice a year my family takes a trip to Highpoint, North Carolina for my husband’s wholesale import company, Blue Ocean Traders. This has quickly become one of our favorite family traditions! But Dolls, that flying alone with two toddlers business, I mean…not for the faint of heart! Here’s a look at ...
