Cyber Week Sales

November 28, 2018/ Colleen Marie

This year I’ve been trying to attack my gifting list early and have picked up some small practical gifts along the way for those last minute that you need to throw together unexpectedly. I usually have good luck with those items from TJMaxx /home goods that are practical people pleasers such as winter scented candle, coasters, a nesting tray, or something cozy practical like slippers. I’ve picked up a ton of these extra mini trees from Target that look perfectly styled in a mug or as part of a gift basket.

All of your must know holiday sales, in one spot.

Cozy Holiday Gift Guide

November 23, 2018/ Colleen Marie

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!

Thanksgiving Table Scape

November 17, 2018/ Colleen Marie

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I’ve been playing around with different decor options throughout this month before fully transitioning into winter mode. When we moved into our new place we got a new kitchen table and although the round shape wasn’t my first choice we’ve been making it work and I’ve enjoyed putting the different place settings together using the gold chargers I had kept after our wedding.

I love how they add an extra touch to pull the setting together. I was obsessed with the texture of these layered leaf placemats that have brushes of gold throughout. They were a great way to bring together those accents with the rest of our place and coordinated with the gold pumpkin centerpiece.

This table setting can changed into a range of possibilities if you’re hosting a Friendsgiving this year or Thanksgiving Day.

We always have our bar cart out and styled along with whatever holiday it is and it makes for an easy way for everyone to help themselves. I usually put out a cheese board and fill it with some dried fruits, nuts, and fig or pumpkin jams this time of year. I usually pair a hard, soft, and robust cheese and a variety of breads and flavored crackers ahead of time so it’s ready to go when guests arrive. My favorite crackers are the rosemary flavored ones that I actually found at Target, they’re by Archer Farms & so yummy! I usually grab our cheeses from Whole Foods/ Traders. Trader Joes always has some seasonal favorites I like to try and some great florals for dressing up a table if you need it with something fresh and natural.

If you’re interested in seeing where I found all of the table scape pieces be sure to click on the widgets below! Many of the products are on sale and marked down for end of season, or will be by Black Friday next week so book mark your pages and go back to restock for next season. The placemats are gorgeous and under $2 each right now!

Many of my pieces I keep and reuse year after year. I just change up where I put them around our place to refresh everything. I’m thinking of looking for some gold silverware to match the chargers once sales start and saving for next season or using them for Christmas time when we have guests over.

I hope everyone enjoys their upcoming Thanksgiving with their loved ones. We’ll be traveling upstate back home and cannot wait to spend much needed time relaxing with family and maybe seeing some snow! We’ve only had one snow fall here in NYC and the first one is always so exciting and made me instantly want to finish up my holiday decorating! (Which I’ll be doing the rest of this weekend before we get traveling.) Happy shopping season friends!
