Stash Desk curated on LTK

TWEEN ROOM TOUR!! When it comes to designing for kids (and especially tweens) I've learned the VERY hard way that their style and color preferences will change DAILY so be very careful on permanent commitments (even paint and wallpaper) - no matter how much they LOVE pink, they may not quite literally the next week. So for my 9 year old niece's bedroom I kept the foundational pieces and walls/floors super high quality and neutral, and then we layered on all the fun (knowing that she'll likely want to change or add stuff as she gets older). It's just so fun and pretty (and the pieces are heirloom quality, she can literally have them through adulthood). We worked with a lot of our favorite companies on this one and of course used one of our favorite rugs (the Elliot, from @rugsusa). She LOVES IT. LTKHome LTKKids LTKFamily

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).

Cute? CHECK. Comfy? DOUBLE CHECK. Obsessed with this matching set from Vuori - the joggers are made of their famous DreamKnit™ fabric which is so buttery soft, I could wear this everyday. #vuoripartner @vuoriclothing #ad

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).

Ok, this is very, very “me” if I had to do “cocktail attire”. A tiny silver sequin skirt (this one is from Reformation, but I’ve seen this Target one on social that looks really good) and a vintage-inspired sweatshirt (Anine Bing via Shopbop). Throw on some over-the-knee boots (that come in a lot of different leather colors) and some jewelry and I am totally ready to go out and feel cute, but still with that casual vibe.

I think a sequin skirt is such a good party attire investment. Perfect for birthdays, holidays, and New Year’s.

I’m obsessed with this floral set, but TBH the legs came in so long that I didn’t have time to hem them and they are ridiculous. I put the top on the gift guide but hadn’t tried on the pants so I was happy that the quality and colors are awesome. I would absolutely wear this to a holiday function where I needed to look fun, but more sophisticated (i.e. a work party?). But I would also wear it to a cocktail party in lieu of a little dress or for a speaking engagement. It’s just powerful but still feminine. Maybe not the most festive holiday outfit, but I wanted to show it off anyway.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKHoliday #LTKOver40

I LOVE this sweater – the color is so pretty and the inside is knit so it’s really cozy for being covered in sequins. I dressed it up a bit with black (waxed) trousers, but I would more likely wear this with jeans to a holiday event. It feels festive and fun, but since the color is more understated (a really rich coppery aubergine) it isn’t as bold. The top is a wide mock turtleneck and it’s a boxier cut (I’m wearing a small) with skinny arms. Just so easy to wear and so comfortable for “sequins”.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKParties #LTKHoliday

Along the same lines as the velvet blazer, a really festive jacket like this dressed up any outfit. This sequin jacket is more of a long blazer, duster even. It has really great firm shoulders that create a nice drape that is really flattering (not trying to be flattering, instead just a straight drop in a good way. Shoes are from Madewell (I liked the simplicity and the sharper toe with the fancier long jacket). Same barrel pants and a Clare V. purse I’ve had forever.

I’m not going to say that every woman needs to have at least one leopard faux fur coat in their closet, but I’m sure someone fancier than I would say that. It does seem like a pretty good staple for special occasions (and so warm). This one is SO SOFT and I think really well priced. It has pockets, has a great color combo, and can easily be dressed down with jeans and some pointy heels or dressed up over a dress or skirt.

These are the best curtain lights/twinkle lights/Christmas lights - no matter what YOU call them, they’re subtle by day and ultra cozy by night. Hang in a window for maximum impact.

Need a gift for a host or chef? I’ve got you. (You can’t go wrong with some design-forward candles, bowls, dishes, or serving utensils.)

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKGiftGuide #LTKHome

Here’s how I took my Thanksgiving tablescape to Christmas: 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 :)

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).
