The Weekender, a stylish high-quality travel bag for weekend getaways. I love the look, style and ease of a weekender. There is something so luxurious about the over-sized travel bag.

“As the days become gray, our homes become the center of our attention. The mantle we had almost forgotten is now highlighted by a roaring fire and suddenly needs dressing. The rarely used dining table is now a perfect place for new décor. And all the projects we’ve been thinking about this past year are now in full production. It’s December, that time of year when we cozy up the house.”
This past weekend, I published my first post with 12th & Broad’s Style Scout: Playful, Modern and Simply Beautiful Holiday Decor. I discussed Christmas decor, new found treasures and how to spruce up your holiday collection. And! I featured a partial round-up of my favorite holiday and winter decor for this season. Today I bring you the full round-up. All 42 fantastic items that will dazzle any home. Enjoy!

A few years back I bought a $20 vintage sofa (BIG spender here) from the sweet elderly lady across the street and placed it in my dining room. I have this funny little nook in the dining/kitchen area that serves zero purpose. Due to the low window placement, a buffet would look awkward. So instead, I placed a loveseat under the window. Not only does it look great, it’s been a wonderful spot for guests to sit while I’m cooking.
Fast forward to last Christmas. One of the wood arms came completely off by someone simply putting their weight on it. And I pretended that the incident didn’t happen. Completely ignored the fact that I was strutting a broken sofa and stuck a cool new pillow on it. A pillow totally covers up the fact that one side of the sofa is missing….right?
Almost a year later, and I am finally looking for a replacement. And guess what? I’m excited about the change. This week I found all these delicious loveseats and settees from Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters and West Elm. The tufted velvet and the bright colors this season have me swooning. Letting go is not going to be difficult with all these beautiful choices.
Which do you like?

This chilly weather has me thinking about my trip to Montreal next month. When I booked this trip, it was mid July. The last thing I wanted to do was shop for parka’s and boots. But now that the temperatures have dropped, all I can think about are those parka’s and boots. I’m daydreaming about all the wonderful things I might wear in this winter wonderland. So many layers, textures, colors and options. And boots! Oh, how I love a good pair of boots.
Here in the south, we rarely get snow. And when we do, it’s usually one day and a few inches. We like to call it snowpocalypse. It’s where everyone loses their damn minds, cries about the low temps and doesn’t leave their home for at least a week. So, I am really excited about going to a city where the snow falls in feet, the people take the cold temps in stride and winter is celebrated with festivals and outdoor activities. And of course, the part where I get to go shopping for new clothes.
Here are a few things I hope to put in my suitcase:



Winter Coats: Rud By Rudsak Belted Puffer Coat & Top Shop Faux Fur Trim Parka
Hats + Scarves: Aleksandra Knit Beanie, Rippled Fans Infinity Scarf, Metallic Fleck Cowl & Mesmerize Knit Earband
Snow Boots: Joan of Artic Wedge, Conquest Carly Boot, Joan of Artic Boot & Tofino Felt Boot
