Gearing Up for the Holidays

Right now is the BEST time to start gearing up for the next holiday season. Go to your favorite shops and take advantage of all the incredible sales. I just went to Z Gallerie and scored tons of goodies. What I like about this store is that it's a tad eclectic but very affordable. Check out these groovy coral serving pieces and lacquered sticks!

White Christmas Tree - FOUND!

In a recent post I was soliciting feedback on where I can find a reasonable pre-lit white Christmas tree. The hunt is over ... I found one at Home Depot! It's the Bedford White Pine that's on sale for under $90. A true bargain! Look around most go for over a couple hundred dollars!

Home for the Holidays

I'll be "mostly" out of commission until the New Year. My other half and I be splitting our time between Boston & LA visiting our parents. I'll try to resist the urge to blog daily... but please check back. Feel free to drop me a note - dressyournest@gmail.com. Happy Holidays & cheers!

Everything that Glitters

I've been looking for the perfect piece to adorn the space above my living room mantle. I came across this wall art from the same company that's selling the mod wreath. I love its playful, reflective quality and how it can be displayed year around. Especially for under $180... I can't resist but make a trip out into the city this weekend!

White Christmas

With the holidays around the corner, I love everything w-h-i-t-e.
This antler wreath can be hung year-around and can also blend into the festive scene during the holidays.

Design Milk spotted this mod wreath (on the right) that I absolutely adore!

I also love how the white christmas tree is making a come-back. I seen a few in the backdrop of catalogs but haven't found any that are a must. Lemme know if you know any good leads!

Modern Holiday Spirit

Here's an idea that you can easily test run for the holidays: group festive, clear or reflective candleholders or ornaments along your mantle as an alternative to the more traditional stocking display. I really like these candleholders from CB2! They range between $4 and $5 and you can cluster them with anything reflective. Here's a snippet of what I did to re-purpose items from previous holiday seasons and around the house.
