My Christmas Style 2014

Every year mine gets tweaked a little bit. I leave few things out and add a few more in. {That makes for adding at least one more plastic storage tub to the attic. ay-yi-yi} But, it is way more fun to tweak what you have and emphasize certain colors/themes than do the same exact thing every year, right? This is what has spoken to me this year, my inspiration:

Style At Home
{This tree is so cheery and is the perfect amount of color in every way!}

Chinoiserie Chic
{So inviting with layers of patterns of stripes and plaids, with greenery and gold}

Crane Concept

{We have done a boxwood wreath for years...I just change the ribbon every year. I would love black and white this time around}

Aesthetic Oiseau

{The blooms that match the chest/that wallpaper...what a festive look}

  Chez V

{A girl after my own heart. Obsessed with this room....I love mixing in the magnolia leaves too, 

they look fabulous on the mantel...and such a fresh touch!}

I'm seeing a healthy dose of black and white for a little edge, pops of fun colors: red and pink, all mixing in with my favorite pieces in traditional blue and white. Of course, you can't  forget to add the metallics to the look as well...I'm a gold lover but I'm softening on some touches of silver too. 

My Favorite Things: The Perfect Gift Under $100

plum pretty sugar robe / 36 pc gold flatware set / popcorn / doe a deer throw /

 snow leopard mug / instax mini 8 instant camera 

This was such a fun little list to pull together! I didn't have one certain person in mind, more like a wide variety {sisters, Moms, a couple, a hostess gift etc} Of course, I wouldn't mind the gorgeous robe, being that I am a robe hoarder. Nothing beats a fabulous robe. It looks like the flatware is currently out of stock but it is a steal for something trendy and 36 pieces! I've never had Hampton Popcorn but they sold me on the packaging- done and done. The throw looks adorable and oh-so-cozy. I've heard good things about the instax mini 8 instant camera- have you? And last but not least, the gorgeous mugs. We have a mixed set of mugs and its sort of fun to have a new one every day. Make sure you check out the other prints too, I wouldn't mind one of each! 

Thank y'all so much for once again linking up with us. Personally, I'm a little sad this is the last week of our series. It's been so fun and I have enjoyed looking at everyones lists each week! Now, to actually cross some things off those lists :) 

xoxo.

Black Friday Picks

J.Crew: 

30% off sitewide, and additional 40% off sale items

I love this Metallic Front Tank, it is perfect for the holidays when you want to be festive but don't need to go as far as wearing a fancy dress.

My sister wore this top yesterday and it was so cute! Nothing is cuter than a baby in Christmas pajamas, see them all here.

You can also take an additional 40% off sale items like this Beaded Chevron Popover, making it a complete steal! Enter HOLIDAY at checkout!

I also love this boyfriend flannel shirt, also take an additional 40% off. I bought this top last week and I can see myself wearing it now or even in the spring with white jeans. It's so flattering on, much cuter in person too! 

There are also tons of mens shirts that are available with the additional discount, making them a great deal. I couldn't choose just one! Stephen has really loved his J.Crew shirts. 

Anthropologie:

Take 25% off sitewide with code HOLIDAY25

These are so beautiful, Gilded Rim Stemware would be a welcome addition in my home! 

Like I mentioned the other day, these are similar to mine, but these are on sale: Gilded Edge Coasters

Gap:

Take 50% off everything!! Enter code BLKFRIDAY at checkout.

This quilted wool biker jacket is so cute! And with 50% off it's a great price.

I love this cozy robe, it wouldn't hurt to add another scarf like this- I'm all about plaid this year, 

Loft:

40% off everything, including Lou + Grey! 

Everyone has been really excited about Lou + Grey and I have to say I love their line as well. This Brushstroke Tunic is so cute and a little edgy but pretty. 

For a basic sweater with some texture, I love this Splitstripe Sweater. 

And these leggings look super comfy! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Enjoy your long weekend!

The Palm Tree Boutique: Elbow Pocket Jacket

I was recently introduced to The Palm Tree Boutique, which is a cute online shop with an affordable and amazing selection of cute clothes. I had the opportunity to choose a piece to try and I immediately loved this army green jacket with elbow patches. Most days I am on the more casual side and this fits perfectly into my wardrobe. I could throw it on with jeans and white v neck t shirt, or step it up a notch with a sequin top like I did yesterday. By the way...y'all know I love fashion but don't usually post pictures of myself necessarily...so go easy on my first try! ;)

I'm obsessed with the elbow patches! I think that is the best part about finding clothing with great prices, but not compromising quality and style. And as I said everything The Palm Tree Boutique offers is incredibly well priced, making shopping easy and fun. 

Jacket / Jeans similar / Top: Old J.Crew / Boots / Bag

Bracelets: Loren Hope Cuff, John Hardy, Lily and Laura

And, now through December 15, The Palm Tree Boutique is offering 15% off to my readers with code MISSDIXIE15% . You can find there website here and Instagram here!

I sincerely hope each and every one of you has a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for your sweet words and kindness, and just visiting to read this little blog of mine. 

My Favorite Things: Stocking Stuffers

Welcome back for our second week of My Favorite Things! This week we are shelling out our best ideas for stockings. Stockings are a great time to restock a loved one with things they might be running low on, or branch out and do something new and fun. A few things that come to mind? A favorite lip gloss, a favorite coffee/maybe something a step up from the usual, something pretty- a costume piece of jewelry, and something to inspire fit living in the New Year. I threw in some other cuties as well: those sweet little fleece booties for the little ones.

agate coasters {these are similar to mine from the ORC} / pearl lock bracelet {one can never have enough} / touche eclat concealer {limited edition and this stuff is amazing!} / nike armband for iphone
 {comes in pink or black. I would love one! hint, hint}

starbucks bag {make some Christmas morning} /  turbo body bar {Stephen loves this!} / plaid tie {great company and lovely ties and bowties}

nugget beanie for boy and girl {the chin strap is key} / stripe fleece booties / star fleece booties {yes to all of the patterns, adorable}

Thanks to everyone who joined us last week!! We hope y'all will join us again today for stuffing those stockings! Can't wait to gather some ideas today from everyone!!! I love seeing new things for the boys' stockings so I will definitely have my eye out! xo

Piperlime Shoe Steals {Under $40}

View this as a PSA or just me being on my computer too much last night trying to knock out some online shopping/get ready for tomorrow's gift guide link up...but y'all...these shoes! They are practically giving them away, all of them are on sale for under $40, most of them about $30. And, most of them are normally priced well over $100. That is insane! I know I am still missing some shoes in my wardrobe because I tend to look and hesitate to buy. But it's hard not to at these prices. With the holidays ahead, I needed some pep in my step. Enjoy! 

Ballroom Pump

{Also available in black and silver!}

Calf Hair Pump 

{Also available in red, silver, blush and black!}

Clower Flat

Arnie Heels

Good Fortune Heels

Odetta Heels

On top of these amazing, complete steals...there are also some majorly discounted higher end shoes, like these Loeffler Randall pretties. 

My Favorite Things: My Christmas List

Hey y'all! Thanks for stopping by for the first linkup of our My Favorite Things series. This week we are posting all about what is on OUR Christmas lists. Truth be told, this was pretty easy for me because I have been sending these lists out to my family/Stephen/his family as well because my birthday is right around the corner too. Since I have been so focused on the house this year, it felt good to put some things on the list just for me. Without further adieu....

 Majesty Pea Coat / Tara Slouch Boot / Soho Studs / Cheese Board / 85 mm Lens /
 Jo Malone Perfume / Tory Burch In Color

Majesty Peacoat It's always nice to brighten up my winter wardrobe in the midst of the sea of black I gravitate towards. This coral number is just the ticket. I am really, really, really loving the color. // Tara Slouch Boot Let's now talk about Frye boots...I have three pairs and they do not go out of style and they just get better with age. An absolute staple but they are worth the investment in my opinion. I love these with a little heel to step it up a notch when I am still on the casual side. I think they would be great for going out for a casual dinner, but wanting some height. // Soho Studs Love these new earrings by Moon and Lola. Such a fun twist on the classic pearl, right?! // Marble + Wood Cheese Board This is so pretty with the marble, and I love a good cheese tray! // 85 mm Lens I am becoming more and more interested in photography. Not that I am really great or anything, but I love playing around with my camera and improving my skills. I am missing this lens in my camera bag and would love to own it! // Jo Malone Perfume I have been using a sample of Jo Malone's Wood Sage and Sea Salt and I love it. I mix it sometimes with the Peony scent and it's my fave! // Tory Burch In Color Last but not least, one can never have enough coffee table books. I would love this one to go in the den, such a beautiful cover!
