Hello loves!

Today I wanted to share one of my absolute favorite holiday lines, Frasier Fir by Thymes Fragrances! Frasier Fir is without a doubt my favorite scent for the holidays. When the aroma hits me, it takes me to Christmas! I wish these pictures were a scratch and sniff but unfortunately they’re not, so Imagine this smell for me. Take a warm, fresh cut Christmas tree farm that just transferred into your home mixed with a hint of cedarwood & sandalwood. But better. Yeah, it’s THAT AMAZING! <3

If the smell wasn’t enough, LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL THE ENTIRE LINE IS! The candles, BEYOND! The hand soap, I’m shook! The cleaner, (yes, even the cleaner) is just down right darling! I have loved switching my regular house hold items to this line for the holidays because I feel like I’m banking on cute decor that’s purposeful! (A 2 for 1!)

If you came over to my home today, you would find these items in every room of the house! Soap, cleaner, and candles in the kitchen. Detergent in the laundry room. Diffusers & puras in the bedrooms + bathrooms. Candles and scent spray in the living room. I kid you not. I have it everywhere! I just can’t seem to get enough!

If you aren’t someone who holiday shops for yourself (which you should be, TREAT YO SELF) the Frasier Fir scents are the top of my list for friend, family, and neighbor gifts! It’s the perfect gift in my opinion!

If I had to choose my top 3 items, I honestly couldn’t tell you. I love everything SOO MUCH! But, for gifts, my top picks would be 1. A candle (any candle would do!) 2. The Pura wall plug in with Frasier Fir scents. And 3. The hand soap (it’s just so dang beautiful and smells heavenly on your hands!) Prices on these 3 items range from $12-$80, so you’ve got options to work with! Also, Thymes fragrances has other amazing scents for the holidays (and year round) too! Their Vanilla Blanc & Simmered Cider are both heavenly! (and I’m dying to try their Gingerbread!)

Below you can find everything pictured to shop! Just move the arrows left or right to find a specific item you’re looking for! Thank you guys for stopping by! I hope this gave you some fun holiday inspiration in one way or another! <3

HAPPY (nearly) HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! <3 I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday filled with good food, family time, and of course, FOOTBALL!

Todays blog post goes out to all of you first time parents/mommas and papas with little ones! I’m breaking down THEE perfect gift giving guide for your baby’s first Christmas with Pottery Barn Kids! Before I get into it, know that everything from Pottery Barn Kids is 25% off and ships free today-Monday with code UNWRAP at checkout! (also note these presents work for Children older than Miss Chloé!)

Growing up at my house, Santa always left our presents unwrapped and I loved that! I could sneak downstairs in the middle of the night, get a good glimpse of the magic that was here, then sleep soundly the rest of the night! It also helped my brothers and I understand what was from Santa and what was from our parents. We will definitely be doing this with Chloé!

Santa’s guide to giving was always one BIG toy, some stocking stuffers, a new outfit or dress, and some treats! My parents always made sure we had a stocking ready to go, and new PJs to wear on Christmas Eve! (It was the one present we could open before Christmas!)

We were able to find everything on our wish list for Chloés first Christmas from Pottery Barn Kids! They had lots of big present options, cute stockings, stocking stuffers, even the PJs folks! We’re going to break down what each gift is and why we picked it out for our little one!

For Chloés BIG gift we decided to get her a rocker! This is something she’ll be using in the coming months and enjoy it the rest of her childhood! Pottery Barn Kids has 18 different animal rocker options and they’re all SO CUTE! I think it’s obvious at this point I have an obsession with fawn as of late, so I went with the fawn! Same with her stocking, had to have that cute little deer face on it! Chase and I opted for a Santa + a Snowman stocking for ourselves! We also adore the fur stockings. Pottery Barn can’t be beat when it comes to stockings! The stockings are generously sized too, so we can fit some good stocking stuffers inside! We opted for a cozy polar bear blanket, a precious modern teddy, some bath squirtles, Disney blocks, and a white noise machine stuffed lamb! These are all things she can enjoy now, and some even more later on down the road! (For instance, learning how to build up the blocks, or squirting water out of her bath toys!) Obviously we had Chloé “test out” all of these items, and I can truly say she loves them!

I feel like we really hit the jackpot when it came to our Christmas pajamas this year! Pottery Barn Kids carries multiple designs and every size of the cutest, softest, classiest Christmas pajamas! <3 It doesn’t get cuter than this!

Tis’ the season for decking the halls! (And by decking the halls, I mean DECK YO SELF OUT!) Holiday events, work parties, celebrations, and New Years Eve all call for the perfect dress! 

I love getting a glam holiday dress every year to wear to the Nutcracker with my family! (I’ll also re-wear my holiday dresses on NYE as well if we go out!)

This year I’ll be wearing this beautiful black dress I got from Lulus! I love the gold & silver embellishments on it! I also love this faux fur coat, metallic booties, and star jewels! (Also all from Lulus!) 

If you’re not into the body con dress, below you can shop some of my favorite holiday dresses! (Ranging from simple & conseritive to Lady Gaga!) You can also search Lulus website by clicking on their “Holiday” section! They have some of the most beautiful gowns! 

Thanks for reading babes! Go deck yo self! xx

Hide and seek in the tree lot will make you feel like Christmas to the max! The velvet top, leopard coat, and black beret however will make you feel boujee af. Both feelings worth feeling if you ask me! (And a look worth sporting! You’ve gotta try it at least once! I’m obsessed with leopard and Parisian hats lately!)

I bought this outfit from Vici Collection and adore it! You can get 20% off your entire purchase at Vici right now by entering discount code “BRIT20” at checkout!  

Wishing you all a wonderful day loves! xx

GOOD MARNIN' PPL! <3  

This post is for all of you SLACKERS who are still in need of getting some gifts!  (No worries, we're not judging! We still have tons of gifts we gotta get ourselves!) 

We wanted to share our top 5 gifts to give! (And to us they are traditional! We give these to eachother every year without fail!) We hope you enjoy! xx 

1. Pa-Jammie-Jams. C & I both LOVE our pj's, especially during the holidays! It's been a tradition in both of our families to give pajamas each Christmas! We always open these on Christmas Eve which makes this gift extra fun! (We got ours from Splendid LA & we LOVE them! Splendid has the coziest/cutest pajama selects!) 

2. Perfume/Cologne. You can't ever go wrong with a new scent! You can purchase one that you know they already love, or shop our scents! Chases favorite colognes are L Homme by YSL, Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani, and Fierce by Abercrombie! Mine are Flower Bomb by Viktor & Rolf, Candy by Prada, and Chance by Chanel! (The purple one!) We got our scents above from Ice.Com! They have just about every scent ever made so it's an easy one stop shop! 

3. Sweats + Socks. It's also a tradition in my family that on Christmas day you open a pair of sweats!  (my dad started this and it's one of my favorite gifts!) If you need any suggestions check out This Post featuring a bunch of cute comfies/sweats for both ladies & gents! (We recommend anything Lulu, Nike, or Adidas!)

4. Headphones. Beats, Bose, Skull Candy. All three of these brands vibe with everyone! (We're beats people, our nephews are skull candy, and our parents are bose.) Hopefully that helps a bit! The preference & prices are fitting for each age group!

5. Jewelry. Like my new Band above! I got it from Ice.Com and love Everything on their website! They have tons of selects for men & women! Watches, bracelets, rings, the works! (We like this because it's more of an intimate gift! <3)

There's also a post on my old website (BritAndrus.Com) that has a really unique way on how to GIVE gifts! You can check that out here!  

We hope this post has helped those of you who aren't quite finished shopping yet! <3 Happy almost holidays loves! Thanks for stopping by! xx
