    New OPI Fall Colors

    We’ve all been doing a lot more at-home manicures this year, and I’ve been waiting for some rich fall colors to arrive. OPI’s latest options do not disappoint, and whether you prefer gel or regular polish, you’re covered because they make every shade in both formulas. You can find two of my favorite hues for fall here and here, and if you’re unsure of how to achieve a perfect gel manicure at home, I do happen to have a handy tutorial for you. (Get it? Handy? COME ON.)

    Christmas Stockings

    I haven’t been overly impressed with the current Christmas stocking options available, but I decided to order these for our first holiday season in the new house. They are classic needlepoint stockings with a velvet cuff that can be personalized with names or monograms. I even ordered one for the new baby so we have a matching stocking to add next year when he or she is here.

    Velvet Pumpkins

    While our cross-country move meant that I didn’t exactly get my act together for fall decor this year, I did order a set of these adorable velvet pumpkins for my Thanksgiving tablescape. They come in a set of three and there are enough color and style options to suit every taste imaginable. Also, a small part of me would like to jump into a pile of them.

  • The Hairbrella

    The Hairbrella

    File under 100% genius. Who among us hasn’t had our hairline RUINED by shower caps that just don’t get the job done? Honestly, this Hairbrella is the only thing I’d trust to keep my blowout intact in the shower, it really is. It can be worn in the shower or outside in the wild, and makes for a pretty great gift, too.

  • Camel Sweater Dress

    Camel Sweater Dress

    I think this sleeveless turtleneck sweater dress in the prettiest camel hue is going to have to be my Thanksgiving dress. Because this year, I am thankful for cashmere. Also, this similar option caught my eye at a slightly lower price point. Should I costume change halfway through dinner and see if anyone notices?

    Plaid Midi Skirts

    Speaking of cozy, skirts aren’t something we often put into this category, but this plaid midi skirt and this one certainly belong there. They’re ideal for (safe!) holiday gatherings for anyone who’s a “skirt person” and feels a little left out when it’s… you know, freezing outside. Also, I can tell you from experience that they’re a classic seasonal staple you’ll enjoy seeing in your closet year after year. I have a nearly identical version of this beauty from 2013 that I would really love to pair with an oversized sweater right now if not for the growing canteloupe-sized baby…

  • Proenza Schouler Puffer Coat

    Proenza Schouler Puffer Coat

    If you prefer your outerwear to mimic your bed linens, might I suggest this duvet-like coat by Proenza Schouler? Available in a gorgeous cider color (now I’m thirsty), this extremely floofy (let’s pretend that’s a word) coat is belted, to ensure that it still has shape despite being the coziest coat that ever attempted to coat.

  • Peppermint Bark

    Peppermint Bark

    Sometimes it’s all about new seasonal discoveries, and sometimes it’s about the basics that just make you smile (and your tastebuds leap) year after year. I’m quite certain you’ve all already added this to cart, but just in case, consider this your annual reminder to stock up on the world’s best peppermint bark. Were you also aware that it comes in Advent Calendar format? Because I was not and now it’s my new favorite holiday/hostess gift. Although, if you actually have the self-restraint to open only one door a day for 25 days, I commend thee.

  • Sweater Jumpsuit

    Sweater Jumpsuit

    DID YOU HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID? It is a sweater that’s a jumpsuit. A jumpsuit that’s a sweater. A miracle of knitwear and monument to the comfort we demand this year that comes in three absolutely perfect colors. I ordered the dusky green. Why are we even still talking.

    Office Chair Armrest Covers

    Look, I don’t want us to be here, but this where we are. If you’ve finally found a WFH office chair that’s fully supportive of your back and legs, but makes your arms feel like they’re resting upon stone, you don’t need to find a new chair, you just need armrest covers designed to make ALL OF YOU feel comfortable while working. Easy fix, no? (And if you’re not currently perched atop this magnificent seat cushion, you might as well fix everything in one Amazon cart.)
