Hello my favorite little shoppers! Our holiday gift guides are all ready to go just in time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year! 

Cyber Monday is my real time to shine in the Christmas shopping world. This is the day that I mega-shop (online, of course) for all my friends and family. So with any luck, I am done shopping for the season when the clock strikes midnight, and I can enjoy the rest of the season without any gifting stress!

We’ve up’d our gift guide game from previous years, and have all the top gifts for her, for the beauty lover, for the hostess, for him, for the jettsetter, for the homeowner and for the fitness fiend! With these comprehensive gift guides you are sure to find the perfect present for the loved ones on your list!

Happy Shopping!

Happy Holidays, y’all! We are so excited to share our holiday home tour this year! Having our own house for the first time has given the holidays a whole new meaning for us. Its given us the opportunity to open our home to so many friends, family, neighbors and colleagues over the past few weeks that my heart could just burst! So many shared meals, memories and laughs has constantly reminded us why we are so thankful.

Of course, with all the holiday celebrations and dinner parties, a decorated and festive home was very important to me. If you’ve seen our previous home posts or design inspo, you know we went for a sophisticated glam look with vintage and traditional touches and a color palette consisting of gray, seafoam, white, gold and dark brown accents. 

I wanted our holiday decor to coordinate well with the style of our home, so we brought these same colors into our Christmas tree, mantle and garlands. I found the perfect velvet d.Stevens ribbon (I highly recommend working with high quality ribbon like d.Stevens in your holiday decor) at Holiday Warehouse (my absolute FAVORITE holiday decor store in Plano, Texas) that brought in our signature seafoam color with platinum and gold accents that just screamed me. So, of course, I designed our entire holiday look around this ribbon and I could not be more thrilled with how it turned out! We invite you in and hope you enjoy this tour of our home this season!

Merry Christmas!

P.S. Be sure to check out previous years Christmas styles if you’re looking for a more metallic look, winter wonderland, or traditional wintery rustic look (my personal favorite)!

We are getting all ready for Thanksgiving over here in the Haaf household! This year we are hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our new home with my husband’s family and then hosting a sips and sweets open house for all our friends and family to join after everyone enjoys their feast (and watches the Cowboys game)!

Needless to say, the stress level is a bit high since this will be our first time hosting a holiday at our home – not to mention, our first time ever making a turkey! Therefore, we are in full practice and early set up mode to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible!
