WINTER STYLE WITH WALMART

S H O P T H E P O S T

This season I have been living in sweaters and sweats. Keeping it casual doesn’t have to mean dressing down. If you want to elevate your cozy at home look, opt for a monochromatic combination or pair a neutral sweater with a more fitted black style like these from Scoop. Walmart Fashion has everything you need this Winter to upgrade your cold weather wardrobe including this faux sherpa coat and this beanie and fingerless gloves set. I have last year’s version of the coat and I still reach for it all the time. These under $30 brown colored joggers are also a great find!

Looking to dress things up this holiday? This black slip skirt is a classic and can be worn all year round. Pair it with sneakers, a white tee, and a cardigan or moto jacket in the Spring! I can’t say enough good things about Walmart’s budget friendly style.

House and Garden UK - Simple ways to make Christmas more sustainable. Although we all give way to a little rampant consumerism over the Christmas period, there are ways to make the season more sustainable and eco-friendly. Here are some tips to cut down on the waste.

goop - Style: Which Winter Style Archetype Are You? This year I wish I could be more of a Sun Chaser but alas, I’m  The Creature of Comfort. 

Vanity Fair - The Oracle of Britney. In 2008, Britney Spears’s dad took legal control over her life. Now the pop star is trying to wrest it back—and the #FreeBritney movement wants to help.

stocking - Looking for a last minute gift or stocking stuffer? By now I’m sure you’ve heard of or seen Necessaire on social media and it really is worth the hype. Their products are clean, committed to sustainability, and to whats good for you and for the environment. At first I thought they were too good to be true…the packaging is beautiful and the products smell great. They’re the real deal! Frank loves the Sandalwood and I love the Bergamot! I use the unscented body lotion every day.

make - I used a hot chocolate bomb for the first time this week and it was so fun. The boys loved it because who doesn’t like a warm cup of hot cocoa in the snow and I loved it because it was like a little ball of magic! You place the ball in a cup and pour hot milk over it (we used almond). What we didn’t realize is that it would also be filled with mini marshmallows! I found this recipe for them online and you can purchase the molds here! Worth it! They would also make a great gift to wrap up for neighbors and friends!

snow - My friend Liz introduced me to this incredible Children’s outdoor, cold weather brand, Reima. The website says “kids’ clothing for active children” and thats exactly what it is! The Danish brand has been around since 1944 so they know a thing or two about dressing for the colder temps. These are the suits I got the boys. A few tips: 1. Order TTS, they will seem big but they’re meant to be that way. The extra space allows the children to move better in snow, etc. 2. They are always sold out but keep checking because they’re constantly restocking. I’m currently waiting for the gloves to come back! PS You can use my friends code Mrsnipple20.

ride - My dream bicycle. Just sayin’……

listen - Shocked and so excited when I saw that Taylor Swift was releasing a follow-up or I guess continuation to her folklore album. The Disney special was so great and gave me a new outlook on Folklore. I felt like I was listening to so many of the songs for the first time. I’ve haven’t listened to an album this much since I was in high school. I kind of love how we don’t know ANYTHING until the release is only 8 hours away. T Swift must know how much we love instant gratification these days. What a gift! Can’t wait to listen this weekend!

watch - New York City Ballet to Stream The Nutcracker This Year in Lieu of Live Production. The beloved production was filmed live in 2019. Tickets will be priced at $25 in the United States and will vary internationally according to theatremania.com. Click here to book!

make - Cheers! I’ve always gravitated towards cocktails made with darker liquors like bourbon or whiskey, especially this time of year. This spiced honey bourbon old fashioned sounds so good! A few more ingredients than you’re probably accustomed too for a cocktail but the spiced honey syrup sounds worth it! I’m going to try it this weekend and report back!

DECORATING FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITH THE FINISH

t h e f i n i s h

I knew I wanted the holidays to feel a little extra special at the Korkidis house this year but I didn’t know where to begin. A few years ago I saw an image on Pinterest and fell in love…it was a simple staircase covered in lush garland with three perfectly tied ivory velvet bows. I loved the simplicity of it all and how it still felt festive! We have spent so much time at home this year that “decking the halls” felt like a must! So when The Finish reached out I knew exactly what I wanted to do!

The Finish took my vision and executed it beautifully. I really wanted the look to be minimal and elegant and also feel like me. They sourced the perfect shade of blush for our ribbons and added sprigs of fresh juniper to the garland. We used pieces I already had like the stockings, stocking holders, and candles, and added elements like the mirror and Josh Young print. I love how everything turned out and I couldn’t be happier! Every morning I walk into our living room with a smile on my face because it looks (and smells) great:)

Want to use The Finish but don’t live in Fairfield County? No problem! for $50 you can book a virtual consultation and The Finish will help you execute your dream project from afar!

Artemis’s {from the finish} Tips

spray live garland once every 1-2 days to keep it fresh and prevent it from drying out

when hanging garland over mantle: lay it in place and then cut it in the center. Reattach on of the bottom ends to the top center so each piece cascades downward. If you don’t do this one side will fan out and you won’t have a symmetrical look!

Fake it! You don’t have to use all real. Pop a little faux eucalyptus or juniper berries into your garland to make it look more full and lush

MINI WOODLAND CHRISTMAS TREE PACKAGE

The Boys absolutely loved decorating their mini tree this year! I love that this will be a new tradition for us and they can have it to look forward to for years to come. Best part? All of the ornaments are kid-friendly! The Finish thinks of everything! I’m also obsessed with this Winter Wonderland version!

make - Goop just launched their own line of fair trade coffee beans and they’re sharing the secret to brewing the perfect cup! Admittedly we have a terrible coffee grinder at home. It was my Grandmother’s and is over 40 years old which accounts for the inconsistencies. May have to add it Frank’s Christmas list! Love this easy coconut butter coffee recipe!

shop - One of my favorite local shops just became available online which means now you can shop them too! The Huntress is a treasure trove of I just bought this French mural tray to hang in our powder room. It is in desperate need of a refresh and since we don’t have the budget to do a total reno right now, the combination of the tray and a coat of paint will do just the trick! I also picked up these hand-engraved crystal wine glasses with stars.

table - We use a tablecloth everyday in our dining room and I always get asked to share when I find similar styles. Zara Home is a great destination for beautiful and reasonably priced styles like this linen checked one! They also have a set of matching napkins! Highly recommend switching over your paper napkins to cloth if you haven’t done so already!
