Thanksgiving is just around the corner so I thought I would share some outfit ideas that you can wear all day while shopping for Christmas presents, heading to a Friendsgiving, or staying in with your loved ones. These years I look for pieces that are comfortable, good quality, timeless + can easily work with several pieces in my closet. I styled two looks that are exactly that with pieces from ABLE that can be dressed up or down for any event! ABLE is a Nashville based brand that specializes in quality products that are thoughtfully designed and made by women around the globe.

I was so excited to decorate for the holidays this year now that I’m finally “done” decorating our Pittsburgh loft apartment! I have been so inspired by beautiful pins of table-scapes I’ve seen on Pinterest this year and I’ve been envisioning this one in my dreams for months now so I was super excited to style our Thanksgiving table-scape. After a year of amazing thrifting, I’ve collected so many unique dinnerware and serving pieces. What I was missing was festive table linens to dress the table with! I found the perfect ones in the Linen Waffle Tabletop collection from Parachute Home.

I’m a few days late but I wanted to share something for #nationalhispanicheritagemonth! My mom and her family are from Colombia, a beautiful country in South America that I have been fortunate enough to visit a handful of times. The beautiful necklace I’m wearing in this photo was my abuelita’s, one of the few pieces of her’s my mom gave me. My parents have also given me cowhide rugs, throw blankets, rugs, + other decorative pieces like this wind-chime that I love the style of! I’ve kept these pieces with me through all the moves over the years and they were a huge influence when I was decorating the space. They make me feel more connected to my Hispanic heritage! There are many beautiful areas of Colombia that I would love to explore and I definitely plan to travel there in the few years.

Last fall, we had only been living in our Pittsburgh loft apartment for a few months and we barely had any furniture yet because we had moved across the country with only a few belongings and our labradoodle of course. So I was really excited about decorating for fall this year! My apartment is very boho chic so I tend to lean towards neutral, simplistic holiday decor. I found a ton of really cute and affordable fall decor finds at Target, Trader Joe’s, and Amazon. In this blog post I’m sharing my finds and giving so guys some boho fall decor ideas!
