Neutral Christmas Decor Finds From Target

By Esperanza on November 16, 2022

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 usually wait until the day after Thanksgiving to decorate but this year I wanted to get an early start. 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!

I am a big fan of boots, especially as a 5’3″ woman because I love the added height lol! Whenever I get dressed up, I always throw on a pair of ankle boots or heeled boots. They are perfect for fall and winter too of course so I thought I would round up some cute options I’ve had my eye on as well as a few pairs I already own! I’ve been gravitating towards neutral colored for shoes and everything else because they just go with everything. I need to add a few more of these to my closet too 😉 I hope you guys enjoy this roundup!

Fall is in full peak here in Pittsburgh with a kaleidoscope of autumnal colors everywhere! We live very close to Highland Park in Pittsburgh’s East End so we decided to head there to take a few fall photos this season. The trees looked so beautiful and made the perfect backdrop for our little photo session. My boys looked so handsome and Schyler took some cute shots of just Indio and mommy too!

Our apartment has actually been decorated for fall since October 1st, but it was such a busy month for us that I wasn’t able to shoot photos or sit down to write this post until now! We currently live in an old Pittsburgh loft apartment that I’ve styled with boho chic home decor. I decorated with a few simple autumnal touches that compliment the boho style perfectly and still feel very festive. I love taking photos with my boys for the memories and this quick at home photo session turned out so cute!

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!
