Merry Christmas! We snapped these Christmas photos at home before the apartment was turned upside down with the whole moving process. If you missed my last blog post, (linked here) I revealed that we are moving to Las Vegas in the new year! We knew we were moving a little before I made the announcement so we shot our Christmas photos early while all of our decorations and furniture arrangements were still intact. In reality the loft is half empty and most of our things are in boxes already which seems a little sad for the holiday but I don’t even care because I am so excited for the new move!

I can’t believe this will be our 3rd holiday season in our little Pittsburgh loft apartment! Time just flew by but especially this year. I’m finally getting this blog post up, a little later than I’d hoped, but I loved how the Christmas decorated apartment looked and really wanted to share it with you guys! I decided to switch everything up this year and the simple changes make such a big difference. I’m sharing links to similar Christmas and apartment decor throughout the post too!

It’s that time of the year guys! I’m still enjoying my fall decor but plan on beginning the Christmas decorating process later this week.

I’ve seen so many cute Christmas decor finds on my weekly Target runs and a lot of my decor is from there so I thought I would do a roundup for you guys! These finds are very neutral + simple but also fit perfectly into the boho aesthetic which I love. I hope you guys enjoy this roundup and happy holidays!

After a super busy month, we were finally able to make it out to one of the local pumpkin patches here in Pittsburgh! We have visited a different patch every year since moving here, this year we decided to visit Soergel Orchards & Garden Center. It only took us half an hour to get there and the fall leaves along the drive were stunning! They had several gift shops, restaurants, farm animals, a garden center, and more in addition to the cutest patch with lots of colorful pumpkins. It was the perfect spot for our annual pumpkin patch photo shoot!

We decided to wake up early 4th of July morning to go on a walk in a nearby Pittsburgh neighborhood before it got to hot! We are spending the rest of the day indoors eating some yummy deserts + snack foods, playing games, listening to records and staying cool. I got a little patriotic and made a 4th of July inspired cake with white frosting and red and blue stars! Also, how cute is Indio’s little denim bow? I love our coordinated red, white and blue looks 😉

I thought it would be fun to style some classic white, summer pieces in 3 Fourth of July inspired looks! I had a ton of fun styling these looks with thrifted purses and new sustainable pieces from ABLE and Grey State. I popped in some red and blue accents for that patriotic feel and channeled some retro vibes as well. I’m hoping this post will give you guys some inspiration on what to wear to your Fourth Of July celebrations this year, whether you are going to a backyard barbecue or having a picnic at the park!
