When I first moved in with Mitch—in secrecy, after three months of dating, haha—I told him we really needed to put hooks near the front door for our keys. Thinking he was being a spectacular boyfriend, he grabbed his toolbox and proceeded to hammer two giant and very crooked nails into the wall, which was met with a very exasperated response by yours truly.
Which is why ever since, I’ve taken it upon myself to handle stuff like that. (My dad and father-in-law are also super helpful. LOVE YOU, MITCH. 😆)
And that’s part of the reason that I’m always in charge of the holiday wreaths, too! This year, Talbots invited us to be part of their #makingspiritsbright holiday campaign on Instagram, and I was so excited to get the wreath-making assignment! (I loved it so much that I asked permission to post it on my blog, too. 😜)
Head to the site today for my best wreath-making tips, and as for my outfit, isn’t it adorable? It screams holiday, and I think we could all use as much cheer as possible this year!
We’re a tartan-loving family, and every holiday season I add a few gems from Talbots to the collection because they do plaid so well! The poncho is an absolute favorite. First, I love the extra-soft faux fur collar, which blocks out the wind and keeps me feeling cozy, even in Chicago. Second, that fringe is adorable! Third, you can throw it over leggings or jeans and instantly look festive and fancy. Fourth, it’s forgiving. Help yourself to another sugar cookie! ;)
Thank you, Talbots!

How do you hang your wreath on your front door? My husband hates the over the door hooks (partially because they damage your door’s seal and partially because he thinks they look bad). As a result, I have been wreathless for every holiday until I find a different solution.
What size planters are you using here? There are various size options so just curious :) Also, it looks like the link for the topiaries is inadvertently taking me to poinsettias. Would you mind sharing where/what size topiaries you use as well? Thanks!
Sorry! I see that the patterns are different on the different sizes so it looks like these are the medium size — I apologize. I would still love to know where you bought your topiaries :) They seem to be the perfect size for these pots. Thanks!
Talbots has been killing it with their shoes, too! I bought one pair of the driving moccasins (I think you featured them a while back) and I’ve since bought 3 more pairs..all with bows :) I love their shoes!
I never thought I would want a poncho, until I saw this plaid one, lol. Your front stoop looks amazing, Kelly! Good thing you take the reigns on that sort of thing :)
