Mercer Merrow-Stitch Red Stripe … curated on LTK

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 LTKParties LTKHome LTKHoliday

I snagged some candles and more from Anthropologie and was VERY impressed. These candles smell incredible and would make awesome gifts y’all. Linking some of my other favorite giftable items as well :)

This jacket says “I want to be holiday-friendly” but with just one piece. Of course, you could dress it up over a dress or a mini skirt, but I think on its own over jeans it still feels festive and totally comfortable (and the green color definitely has a lot of longevity, versus a brighter red). The white tank is from Free People via Shopbop, the jeans are new Madewell barrel jeans, the shoes are old, the silver bag is from Anthro, necklaces are from Anthro and J.Crew. Big fan of these barrel jeans from Madewell – I know that barrel jeans are everywhere but these have the best cut and are on the more affordable side. They aren’t toooo wide or tooooo high-waisted (more mid-rise). The cut is GREAT and I like where it hits (ankle length).

As Kaitlin put it when she first saw me in this shirt, “NOW THAT’S A ‘BLOUSE'”. I know this top isn’t for everyone (it’s not particularly sexy), but it’s absolutely giving 1990 Martha Stewart in the best of ways for me. It’s blue and green plaid TAFFETA!!!…. with pretty covered buttons and massive puff sleeves. It’s so fun to wear, feels very me, but in a bit of a Trad Wife costume. Of course, I dressed it down here with distressed drop crotch jeans (it’s voluminous so I like putting something more streamlined on the bottom) but I wish I had worn it with a tighter waist (it’s a really thin fabric that is easy to tuck). The patent leather Mary Jane’s heels come in many colors and are so cute. I also bought this top in black velvet which is really drapey and soft, FYI (it comes in a lot of colors).
