Happy {First December} Weekend

December is tomorrow. Wow. Wasn’t I just wearing my bathing suit cover up and eating popsicles on the balcony?
The season is here, my friends, and I am thrilled. December holds precisely my two favorite holidays—Christmas and New Year’s Eve. That’s right—both of my favorite holidays are this month. And I am one. happy. girl.

So, I’m practically wringing my hands in anticipation of posting gift guides, party ideas, and, of course, tons of outfit inspiration for the one million reasons we have to celebrate in a thousand different ways this month. Because that’s what it is all about, right? Celebrating His birth, and the gifts we are bestowed in the form of family, friends, loved ones, thanksgivings, and a fresh, sparkly start to a brand new year.

So, a few Friday (Pinterest, mainly) Finds where I’ve drawn inspiration for what to give, how to entertain, and what to wear as we gear up for December:

• These adorable DIY glitter votives are the perfect ambient lighting for an intimate soiree.
• Thought I won't be draping a breathtaking stairwell with fresh garland like here, I will be finding the perfect spot for my favorite holiday decor sometime over the weekend.
• Who says sparklers are just for New Year’s Eve? I’d like to make the movement to use them far more often.
• Take one sequined skirt + one classic silk blouse and go to essentially every holiday party you’re invited to.
• My dream gift. Literally, in my dreams.

Happy Friday!
