Basalie Top - Patchwork Blues … curated on LTK

COME PLAY WITH ME. A day in the life, made better (and safer) with the best sunscreen on the market. I love using Play for everyday (the spray is great for kids, too), Unseen Sunscreen as my go-to primer (glow screen is great, too, if I’m going for a dewier look), and these new lip tints are a must-have for any purse or pocket.

For this year’s installment of “gifts your kids will actually play with and not become land-fill items nor just look pretty and take up space on their shelves,” I had my kids, once again, tell me what their favorite gifts have been the last few years – and what they want this year. Yes, we have everything from their favorite lifelike Comfort Robo-Cat (??!!) to a Razor Go-Cart, art set, the only 3D printer they’ve ever loved, and a few video games that somehow seem like a healthy alternative to the more addictive kind.

In here I found some pretty awesome stuff for the kitchen that I couldn’t believe how cute and affordable it was – the light blue covered baking dish? SO CUTE (great for sides but also comes bigger in white). The footed blue/green vessel(under $20) and the scallop candle holder (could be year-round on the dining table with nonholiday candles) – both are styling staples. As you can see all of these pieces have something really special about them – either the shape, the texture (the scallop, the round ribbing), or the perfect color.

The red stripe napkins are $3 each and while of course, they are excellent Christmas napkins, red is having such a moment that I’d use it in spring and summer, too. They feel really high quality. The glassware that I collected on the shelves are just better than basic – the two-toned glasses are thick and special (and splurgier) while the purple goblets are affordable and so rich. And don’t forget the $8 glass candle holders – so good, so pretty, so affordable. I have them on my coffee table.

The green blender is countertop worthy (I just bought it for myself and love it), and while that tissue box cover is on the splurgy side it also comes in black and white and it’s metal. Let’s just say it brings me more joy than I originally predicted (I also love the tray version of it and have it on my coffee table).

The blank wall is totally transformed – two matching media units (The Torme, from Article) created a low long built-in look that not only created a lot of record and game storage but was a great surface and grounding element for a gallery wall above. Each unit features adjustable shelves inside and soft close fronts but the real kicker are the thoughtful design details – those rounded legs and beveled doors are chef’s kiss. And yes, that is a Frame TV (non-spon, just can’t stop using them) along with a few other pieces that Kaitlin sourced from The Yo Store, Schoolhouse, World Market, plus a few vintage paintings (and Gretchen even made her that little painting up top). It’s SO GOOD.

I think we should all infuse as much whimsy as possible this year for Christmas and this Scandi farmhouse-inspired living room really does the trick (she says to herself)! Everything is from Wayfair, so you can bring the Christmas spirit home ASAP with lightning-fast shipping and an incredible selection. @wayfair #wayfairpartner #ad #paidlink

I CAN’T STOP WEARING THESE BOOTS FROM EVEREVE. A classic shape, some elevated details, and they are SO COMFY, to boot. Looks great with flared jeans for a chic 70s vibe but they’re fun with cropped styles, too. #everevestyle #everevepartner

The best sherpa-lined shacket is 50% off now! These men have different builds (but VERY buff, of course) so when they both looked and felt really good in something it indicates to me that it was a universally flattering cut – i.e. strong wide shoulders and a good drape that men with a super slight, ahem, *beer* belly might like. Both these guys have a more utilitarian vibe (i.e. not office jobs) but I think that many guys like this look for weekends, too. They aren’t models but they both looked so good in this cord/sherpa jacket.

Welcome to my 2024 home gift guide – where I did things very differently this year. After years of combing websites to find the good stuff and then making graphics to show you, I decided to treat myself to days and days of IRL product testing and vetting at my favorite retailers (small business and makers gift guide is still in the works, FYI) and collected a ton of really good stuff – ranging from $3 to $200 (most under $100).

All of these are STAND OUT pieces in my mind – some simpler (like a really good-looking but affordable notepad) and some pretty epic (like the velvet lamp that is under $100). The most perfect color for a Dutch oven for $40 (which Emily M. bought from me because it’s so pretty) and that excellent bright blue round pillow from Schoolhouse (and Clare V. collection).

Dragged my husband Brian and my brother Ken to the mall to figure out what two (very different!) adult men actually want for Christmas.

“Then Ken got into the Footloose spirit with this Sherpa-lined denim jacket. I also own one and get compliments on it all the time. I think there’s something about a Sherpa denim jacket that makes us feel like high school rebels again,” Brian says.

TREAT YOURSELF (or your loved ones). I’ve always been in the camp that you should invest in conversation pieces, and the holidays are the perfect time of year to buy yourself the statement piece you've been eyeing! I grabbed these lamps from @lumensdotcom (they have the best selection of lighting, decor, and more - there's something for everyone on your list) and they're guaranteed to elevate any room. Seeing the warm, glowing light from these iconic sculptural lamps can really pick your mood up on a dark winter evening, too. Comment shop and I'll DM you some of my designer-approved favorites 🙂 #giftguide #giftideas #gifting #design #interiordesign #decor #holidays #ad

Just scored a few new pieces - including my dream boots and a plaid coat I love - from Evereve, AKA the best-curated fashion site on the internet. If you want to be comfy (I do) but you still want to look pulled together (me, too), you can’t go wrong with ANY of the styles they carry. I started shopping there last year (with my own money), and they do such a beautiful job of bringing all my favorite brands together - honored to help spread the word now as a partner. #everevepartner #everevestyle

#LTKStyleTip #LTKWatchNow #LTKGiftGuide

The mustard velvet ottoman is in my home and pairs so pretty with my blue velvet chair. But the Schoolhouse blanket? Certainly a splurge but it’s so incredible – if you have a basic bed or sofa and you want to punch up your room – a pattern like this does it INSTANTLY. And don’t forget that Rejuvenation has incredible velvet pillows in really rich colors (and some neutrals) for those of you who don’t want a pattern).

I’m really into velvet apparently, as almost all of these pillows are – it’s just such a pretty texture in really rich colors. The round blue pillow – special and such a punch. The blue/green velvet pillow is also excellent (and the same pattern comes as curtains which look so expensive and custom – patterned curtains are so back, y’all).

We have used that Target marble catchall in like 4 shoots recently, as a testament to how good it is (think nuts on coffee table, jewelry in bathroom, keys in entry, etc). And don’t get me started on the bright blue butter dish (which is one of the few things not from a national retailer but I wanted to give it some love – I love Pigeon Toe Ceramics).

As you can see, we have some fall motifs – the plaid runner, the amber candle holders (and candlesticks), one mustard napkin, some fall leaves and you know, THE HUGE CERAMIC TURKEY. But beyond that, it’s just white plates, with green napkins, glassware, and pretty silver flatware. All these things work year-round in my house (which leans green/blue modern farmhouse).

I think it’s fun to think of some of these colors, patterns, and elements as “seasonal indicators”. Fall branches + mustard + a warm plaid + Turkey = Thanksgiving. Some scattered pine cones or wicker/wood elements for turkey day and you get the same “vibe”.

The prettiest handmade butter holder for those of us who love to keep butter out near the stove. I have the blue, but the white one would be a really safe gift for anyone who likes butter and good design.

Here’s how I took my Thanksgiving tablescape to Christmas (using work-anywhere products from Crate & Barrel): I switched out the runner, added red candlesticks, a pop of red with the ornament, and those green trees. In person this felt appropriately “Christmas brunch” and you bet we put on Mariah Carey.

I LOVE those trees (they match my dining chairs and my sofas perfectly so they are my new Christmas element this year).

The red candlesticks even make the amber candleholders look more festive. It tricks your eye. The red and white ticking stripe runner could be great on a buffet (or in our case our island where we put out all the food for our casual 30-person ornament exchange party).

You don’t need special dishware or glasses - just add a few holiday signifiers and call it a (holi)day :) #CratePartner

Dragged my husband Brian and my brother Ken to the mall to figure out what adult men actually want for Christmas.

“First up, we went to American Eagle, which surprised me last year with some really good flannel shirts and didn’t disappoint this year either. Here we are, twinning in a nicely cut button-up that can go both ‘Date-night’ and ‘Dude-hang,’” Brian says.

I don’t know what I love more – that incredible wavy lampshade on that green lamp – $70!!!!! FOR BOTH!!! Or that really good oxblood dome lamp (splurgier, but very powerful and makes a fast statement in any room). The mustard velvet ottoman is in my home and pairs so pretty with my blue velvet chair. But the Schoolhouse blanket? Certainly a splurge but it’s so incredible – if you have a basic bed or sofa and you want to punch up your room – a pattern like this does it INSTANTLY.
