Cozy Holiday Gift Guide

There’s so many great sales happening to kick off the holiday season and some quick deals for Black Friday. So I thought I would pop on and compile some of my most comforting and cozy items that I absolutely love and use repeatedly as part of my Colors of Colleen Holiday Gift Guide. All of these would make great gifts or a way to boost your own night in items. As much as I love the holiday season, I dread the cold weather depsite being from a cold weather place! So any way I can have some extra self care with a bath bomb, salt scrub, and cozy loungewear I’m content!


One // Target Pajamas I have this long sleeve pair in black and the short sleeve and short version. They are both so so soft and comfortable to sleep and lounge around in. The best part is they are less than half the price of the expensive Eberjay version and I’ve washed mine so many times and they remain so soft!

Two // Barefoot Dreams Blanket This is the coziest and softest blanket that isn’t too heavy for having a throw on or around the couch. I have the creme version with the grey stripe and even my husband will cover up with it! It’s a must for any couch & It’s 50% off!

Three// Sweater Knit Lounge Leggings My current cozy addiction and these pants are just like the Barefoot Dreams version blanket, but wearable. I felt them in store and there was no going back. I purchased the grey, there’s good stretch and warmth to the pants without them being bulky. I may even order the ivory & have already purchased some to gift. They are half off right now at Old Navy for $20!

Four// Fur Slippers Use Code Friyay for half off. These are marked down to $12 and come in three colors. They would make the perfect gift for that laid back but fab friend.

Five//  Cozy socks from Express everything is 50% off, no code necessary! These are adorable with the little hanging pom poms and are the perfect stocking stuffer or for secret santa.

Six// Laura Mercier Scrub This product smells so delicious for your bath to slip into relaxation mode and is such a great scrub that comes in a ton of scents.

Seven//Sleep Mask De puff and cool down those tired eyes with this set of eye gels that comes with an eye mask.

Eight// Bath Bomb Easy $5 gift for that someone who loves to soak in the tub and these come in so many colors and scents. Perfect for a stocking stuffer gift!

Spring Florals in Central Park

Spring is finally in full bloom over here in NYC and I couldn’t be more excited! It seems like forever since my last blog post, but I’ve been busy over here with an art show I’m preparing for my students and I had the lovely surprise of my family visiting for my 30th Birthday recently. (Sigh)  For the longest time it felt like we’d never see spring, so when I was finally able to put away all sweaters for good.  I couldn’t wait to transition to spring and summer months!

Living on the UES makes Central Park so accessible and I try to take full advantage of it’s beauty.  There’s always something going on whether it’s a concert, summer movie night,  or Shakespeare in the Park I love being able to explore all of it’s different spots. The conservatory gardens make for a great spot for strolling and gorgeous photos!  There’s also a few favorite cafes and restaurants along the way there I’ll be sharing this season that are perfect for taking a break from the park for a quick bite or cool down drink with friends. Although my favorite is just having a picnic setup and now there’s ways to make a reservation for one to be setup for you upon arrival! No fuss or bringing anything with you. 

Now with all of the spring blooms it’s also a crazy allergy season right now ! All of the trees were in full bloom the first warm weekend of the season and the park was unbelievably packed so I can’t wait until the school year ends so I can take advantage of it during the weekdays. 

I snagged this cold shoulder top on sale recently and hadn’t paired red and pink together in a while, which is a new combo I’ve been into. This top has the perfect ruffle that falls on the chest and sleeve and could be paired with black pants for an office look with a blazer or even with shorts for something more casual. I try to keep versatility in mind when styling different pieces together.  

What are your favorite places to adventure to in the spring ? I’d love to hear about them!

Pearl Heel Boots

I always love footwear that have a little extra something. These boots are definitely it and are at an incredible price point. I found these boots at TJMaxx and I recommend sizing up a half to whole size. They definitely aren’t the most comfortable boot or high quality but they’re a great dupe for some other brands. These are great for the holiday season or to just dress up your casual look. If you’re like me and usually wear a lot of black or dark clothing during the winter months these are a cute extra detail. 

These were only $39! And I’m sharing some others at different ranges of pricing and heel heights.  

Hope everyone is ready for a restful Thanksgiving with friends and family this week!
