Happy week before Christmas!! Be honest, does that make you excited or stressed to hear that Christmas is so soon?? I truly hope you all are enjoying the holiday season and staying as stress-free as possible. I know it’s easier said than done, though, right? This year I really feel like we’ve been able to enjoy the holiday season and stay present, or maybe more present than normal. It’s not many years it’s like this, though, but I do think it has to do with a few things. Since I know some of you might be feeling overwhelmed, I hoped writing this post about how to stay present during the holidays would come at the right time.

My Holiday Wishlist
Today I’m sharing my holiday wishlist! These are the things that have been on my wishlist lately, and exactly what I’m asking Santa for 😉
Every year I love getting a new cookbook {this one was my favorite cookbook from 2018 and I got it for Christmas!}. The Malibu Farm cookbook has been on my list forever {as well as actually going to the restaurant in Malibu or Newport!}. The cookbook looks like it’s filled with delicious and healthy recipes that I know I would love to try! By the way, do you have a favorite cookbook?? Please share with me because I’m always looking for new ones!
I’ve also been wanting a new classic bag and I absolutely love the style of this one. Plus, the rich dark green color makes it feel a little more unique. Since there’s a crossbody strap it can be worn casually as well, and I know I’ll be needing more hands-free options in 2019!
After getting this sweater in camel earlier in fall, I’m dying for the black one! It’s not maternity but it works PERFECTLY with the bump!
I have an obsession with tortoise sunglasses, and after wearing this pair for years, I feel like I need another option. When I came across this pair of tortoise sunglasses, I knew I had to add it to my list. The style is classic and very wearable!
After breaking two pitchers last summer {one faulted by clumsiness and the other by too hot of water}, I really want a new one. I found this etched glass pitcher that I thought would be gorgeous year-round. I love how feminine it is! I also love this classic white pitcher.
I came across these beautiful initial rings on Etsy and thought it would be so sweet to get one with Augustine’s initial and also one for Baby Girl, once we decide on a name. They’re so dainty and perfect for everyday wear.
What’s on your holiday wishlist?? I would love to know!!
Did you catch all my recent gift guides? You can see them all here. They’re a great mix of affordable and luxurious styles, plus many can be bought on Amazon with two-day free shipping! Nordstrom also offers free shipping and services like in-store and curbside pickup so I tried to include them a lot too. Who are you still having trouble to shop for this holiday season? Let me know if I can help!
Hi there! I hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend with your loved ones {or got a little R&R during the long weekend!}. We visited my parents for Thanksgiving, ate some really yummy food, and started decorating our house for the holidays. Oh! And I did quite a bit of Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping. I wanted to share what I bought this weekend, plus some of the sales that are still going on today, so you can take advantage and hopefully get some holiday gifts at a discount!
