Falling for Metallics

Happy November! It's that time of year to take out your fall decorations  -- deep red and burnt orange hues -- or you can incorporate metallics into your existing decor that will last until after the new year. Metallics are always an eye-catcher and they can be especially appropriate when decorating and entertaining for the fall and winter holidays -- they create a warm, inviting and sophisticated look. Here are some of my favorite metallic items -- from decorative accents to dinnerware -- that will transform your home just in time for Thanksgiving!

1. 

You can't go wrong with some brass candle

holders. These would look great as part of your

dining room table centerpiece or on your mantle.

2.

These hurricanes have beautiful detailing and will

also look great as your table centerpiece or as decor 

on your mantle.

3.

Right now west elm has some gorgeous metallic beaded

pillows in cool and warm colors that will fit with other 

holiday decor you may have. You can purchase the cover

separate so you can switch up the look of your pillows 

whenever you want.

4.

If you're looking for a simple yet festive table runner this fall then

this metallic stripe runner is it. It has a touch of silver -- picture 

this paired with those west elm hurricanes above as a centerpiece. 

Can't say I'm not into it, can you?

5.

This is one of many metallic frames Zara Home has that I'm

falling in love with. Obviously these are great year round if you 

like this sophisticated glam look. Otherwise, these are perfect

to replace your current frames with during the holidays to 

have a more festive look without having to get too many 

extra decorations.

6.

I love these trays! They are so versatile and can be used 

on a coffee table, ottoman, dining table, entryway, or even a 

bar cart when put on a stand. This particular finish, antiqued silver, 

looks great with other metallic items and is great for holidays and 

entertaining. Currently tabletop and trays are 20% off at west elm.

7.

This dinnerware set looks amazing when paired with gold

flatware (like pictured). You could also switch up your dinnerware

and do this ikat metallic dinner plate with a white salad plate or

vise versa -- the options are endless. Incorporating even just

one item from this set will bring a touch of the

holidays to your tabletop.

8.

This cake stand is just so cute. You don't have to only serve 

cake on this either! 

 Polka Dot Cake Stand - Gold and Silver / C Wonder

9.

This glassware just makes sense for the holidays.  The 

gold rim on these glasses would look great with the Palette 

Dinnerware Set in Gold/Silver!

Metallic Rimmed Glassware - Gold / west elm

10.

Herringbone pattern + metallic = yes, please. This beautiful

combo happens to be sold on these placements at Target

and adds an instant holiday look to your dining table.

If you're looking for some new holiday decor and items for entertaining then these metallic finds will do the trick! Not only for the fall but will last through the holiday season. Who wouldn't like that?

A Lit-Teal Obsessed

Don't ask me why but lately I've been attracted to items that are turquoise & teal from decorative accessories to beauty products. I'm not complaining though - it's an attractive color on almost anything & makes me think of the ocean and beach. Maybe living in SoCal by the beach has inspired me so much that I have subconsciously brought it into my life. Either way, here are just some of the items I am talking about & just in time for summer!

1.

I'm obsessed with these Crackle Pool Boxes from West Elm. 

I have two of the deep turquoise boxes seen here, the smaller one

holding cotton balls and the larger one holding jewelry. They're 

placed in my bathroom & I just love the way they look. They're on

sale so get 'em while you can.

2. 

These Waterscape Hurricanes and Votives from West Elm are amazing.

They come in all different sizes and colors - each one its own, simple 

& unique. They're all beautiful but I'm lovin' the light & dark teal ones.

3. 

These transparent teal nautical votives from West Elm aren't

 available anymore unless you check in store - I know my store sold out 

pretty fast. I love the anchor & they come in other nautical designs. I 

use mine for succulents but cotton balls, matches, candles, pens

& anything you can think of can work with these pretty votives. 

4. 

I purchased this makeup bag from my local Forever 21 

store a few months back. Most likely not available anymore

but it's a simple way to add some color into your daily makeup

routine.

5. 

These Teal Room Essentials Towels from Target are 

super soft & inexpensive. I love the sunbleached turquoise color

on them as well & splash of color it gives my bathroom just hanging

on the over-the-door hook.

6. 

Can't really say no to a candle that's inexpensive, smells good & a 

beautiful color. Sonoma Life and Style Seaside Breeze from 

Kohls is just that.

7.  

I really needed a new eye makeup remover so while

in Sephora I picked up their own Waterproof Eve Makeup Remover.

It actually works great & fits in with my unexpected turquoise theme.

8. 

I purchased a light teal nailpolish a while back & it was 

one of my favorites. I just ran out and have to get another - this one 

is Rock the Boat by Essie. I definitely recommend it! 

There it is..a few of my favorite turquoise items in all different shades. Is there a certain item in this color that you are loving yourself?? I'd love to know!
