WEEK IN MY LIFE | the holiday dinner party, massive closet clean out & winter clothing haul

hi y'all welcome back to another week in my life Vlog this week is so exciting because I'm hosting my dinner party that is the holiday themed it was a dream come true we are working on home projects you guessed it I'm decluttering the house working on friend of mine also I'm in print and I'm doing quite a bit of shopping I've really been doing a little bit too much shopping lately hence the closet clean out but all great stuff honestly I don't regret any of it Al I hope you guys enjoy hi y'all welcome back to another Vlog today has been such an adult day it's currently 2 p.m. I did two workouts I returned my rental car I picked up my car from Firestone I got it detailed my house the windows are getting cleaned I was doing a bunch of like random home things that I had to get done I had four meetings about like potential hires and things that ways that were growing the business there's like so many other random things that I had to do but it was very adult and very boring so with that being said we're starting the Vlog now it was a very productive day right now I'm actually at the mall North Park Mall my favorite place ever and I'm going to return controversial take the pink bow for the Christmas tree I think this bow topper this is actually stunning and this is an incredible bow topper if you guys are interested I will link it just because I don't think there's any one that's better than this but on my tree it's not really giving what I want it to be giving like my home is more Nancy Myers it's just like not n like that's just not what I'm wanting I like the tree topper that I have even though it was an unpopular take and there was 500 comments telling me to keep the pink bow but you guys don't see my vision I need it to be like eclectic you know what I mean so I'm sticking with my original tree topper we're going to go return this to anthropology and then run into Reformation because I'm going to look at their KN like winter pieces and stuff and see like what I want to pick up for things that I'm hosting in the next couple of weeks um so we're going in I'm listening right now to Jude Law on armchair expert which is like a dream come true of the holiday and I'm hosting my the holiday themed dinner party this week which is just it's everything to me [Music] so back from the mall and I just came home to a really exciting package I got the rest oh my God I got the rest of our taper candles for our glab with Mala we did a candle glab with Mala which is really exciting they're like dinner party candles and here they are oh here they are they are so cute you get 10 hours burn PR candle look at this like how cute mall is an amazing brand they plant one tree every single candle I love these we got a ton cuz I'm going to do some dinners with them so this is exciting I'm hosting a dinner party this week so I can use them then and then I got these custom shopping bags for just some holiday events really for a photo shoot but we're also going to use it for some holiday events I'm not even going to take them out these custom shopping bags also we had a really nice write up in paper City mag I'll link it below all about the family cards and more on my family and like where a friend of mine came the like story obviously behind friend of mine just like honoring my little brother um so I was very emotional this morning and then tomorrow I just got an email that tomorrow I'm in print so we have to go see that anyways time for a little haul the sweater that I'm wearing right now I got from Reformation it's so good I'm really trying to build a wardrobe of pieces that I will keep forever classic traditional you guys have seen in the past like 6 months or so honestly longer than that I've been trying to really like mature my wardrobe and this I just love these jeans are like my really loose baggy jeans and with the fit like they're a little too baggy I feel like just wearing Uggs really chill like my my dad's coming over for dinner and we're going to go to the fire pit so like nothing crazy but I did want to change this dress I'm in love with the quality is unreal it's just like a really stretchy nice fabric um and I just think it's going to be a staple like in my closet honestly for years and years to come but also for this holiday season it just seems perfect like I put this on and loved it it's really comfortable and I feel like a lot of my holiday stuff just like is not comfortable so I love that and then I also got that black velvet dress but I don't even if I vlogged it actually I did probably on Tik Tok but they didn't have my size so that's coming in the mail and then I got this coat which is so classy and it comes with a scarf that you can take off or keep on which is just you know a two for one sort of deal but like the buttons on this coat are everything to me I'm in love with this like I wish it was cold tomorrow maybe it will be we'll see I'm just oh my God this is everything to me I kept going back and forth and then I was like what am I thinking this is perfect so love that Reformation in Hill housee which we're about to open some Hill House stuff are definitely my two most-worn like higher in Brands where it's just a little bit more money I would say normally either we I would say we a lot of abomi a lot of skims and then a lot of Hill House and a lot of reformation I'm definitely wear other things but like that's really what it is around here like that's Reformation all of that's gims all of that's abumi a lot of that's Hill housee a lot of that's reformation and now we have our hillh house items so the amazing thing about having a Hill House store here now that literally just open at North Park is that things are out of stock online but they're in stock in the store that's how I got that brown jacket back there you guys saw it probably in a recent vlog that I'm in love with loved it and also today was the like 30% off Hill housee deal I also have a code Kenzie 15 for 15% off Hill House which I wish I I knew because I've placed so many orders like I've got so much more Hill House coming in and I just literally didn't even know and I wasn't even using my own code I don't know how anyways these are my favorite pajamas I have them in the pink and white stripes and this is like the Christmas version of them the little like Peter Pan collar and I love this like I will absolutely be wearing these on Christmas so classy so amazing and I get the pajamas in a size large I want pajamas to feel like pretty loose on me that's just like one size up from my normal I would say I'm a very true medium and then this jacket I've wanted this jacket and potentially the skirt with the jacket for so long well for a couple months since I saw it last and I just haven't pulled the trigger but with the sale it was like $100 off today so I got this and I just think it was the right call because I haven't I didn't impulse buy it and I've been thinking about it a lot and I love a jacket as a top this season it's like all I'm wearing or like sweaters that are more like jacket structured Vibe as a top love it so much and this is just so classy I've got two other ones from Hill House back three other ones actually back there and I just love them I wear them a lot on my ltk I have a bunch of like my favorites from Hill house and stuff and Shop my linked if you guys are ever interested um I think I'll probably end up wearing this tomorrow cuz I think it's so cute [Music] [Music] [Music] I'm starting on the tablescape I think I'm just going to go classic here I was going to go more of like I don't know more of like Nancy Myers Nancy Myers how many times can I reference her but I don't know it's hard because I'm like do I go Rose Hill Cottage or do I go Amanda but I or Amanda woods but I'm thinking I'm just going to go really classic and figure it out from there I can't decide between these two I got these on Amazon these good napkins we'll see okay I think we're going to go Blue just cuz it's I don't know I'm thinking blue but I really honestly can deci side I'm thinking blue okay this is definitely giving Nancy Meyers a little bit of the holiday I mean it's just Nancy Myers is the holiday so you know it kind of works love this Vibe I'm really glad I switched out the charger to these I actually really like it I've tried that before like it doesn't look right like that but it looks good with the napkin that's going to be for our hot cocoa little station over there I thrifted this entire 18

work event tonight um but she came over and she brought me a coffee I have so many packages so here's what's on the agenda for today I have had this in my calendar for 3 weeks that today is a declutter day and you always I don't know about you guys like I'll plan a full cleaning declutter day and it is the best feeling in the world when you plan something 3 weeks in advance and you wake up that morning and you're just like thank God I'm in the mood to clean and declutter I'm in the mood to nap right now okay so I am going to at least force myself to declutter my closet and my bedroom because I really want to get like four trash bags of clothes donated the trees came in for the vines that are going to be out there in my like patio space area which is very exciting stuff um we're redoing the Landscaping out there it looks horrible right now it's actually going to get fixed this weekend so stay tuned I've been really active on Tik Tok and just been posting a lot of stuff over there but hopefully that'll get done and then I need to go through my anthropology packages declutter my room my closet and just get that done like I've had it on the calendar so that I didn't book anything during this time and now that it's this time I'm like why did I do this you know so anyways I did get a new pajama set from Hill House by the way this is on sale and I ordered online a couple weeks ago but this isn't like a very comfortable pajama material so I'm just wearing it more as like Lounge wear around the home I made a massive anthropology order this actually isn't even everything and I just ordered a couple more things this is a very friendly reminder that the 21st to the 24th I have a 30% off discount code for y'all for anthropology this isn't sponsored I get literally nothing out of this but it's just exciting and you guys are shopping the sale before everyone else so if things go out of stock you don't have to worry about that because you guys will be shopping first so anyways the haul is going to be on my Tik Tok maybe my Instagram if y'all are interested there's actually more boxes this isn't even everything but I think I'm just going to go ahead and film for now [Music] I am feeling lightyears better about life I can't even describe to y'all how much better I feel two bags of donations slash For Thread up look at how many open hangers we have and that's just the closet room okay it's 3:30 it's taking some time I called my aunt I caught up with her and this has been successful so I'm going to go to my room which really is just like a lot of sweats oh God it's actually a lot and then um pajamas I really need to go through my pajamas because I obviously have gotten so many new ones recently I'm so excited about these but these are so comfortable by the way the new skims ones I'll have them LED like this oh my God they're so perfect anyways only the best of the best all right we're going to get really cut the row with what we're doing [Music] [Music] [Music] I feel like a brand new woman I just went through and I have five bags full of donations and then everything in here is cleaned out more those are all of my pajamas I love a good pair of pajamas Lounge sets this used to be full it's not full anymore these are all my sweats and stuff which yes I could have less of them for sure but it's just hard to decide so whatever I'm not even worrying about that I'm going to go through and organize like my drawers now which I'm just going to get it over with that only took me like 40 minutes it always feels like it's going to take longer than it does all right y'all my sister has arrived and I feel so much better so much less anxious I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders cuz I just had so much excess that I needed to get rid of but I'm getting curtains made for this house because I feel like it's going to make it so much Cozier and then also it is going to give more Nancy Myers kind of vibe and it's going to like offset this like modern stuff over here um I'm going to use two pages I asked on Instagram and this is what all of y'all recommended it's actually like really affordable custom curtains they're a custom in the sense of like the measurements my mom used to have a custom curtain business or hey like a window treatments they get really pricey I ordered the Swatch and I don't want fully white I'm thinking more of a oh wait I'm thinking between like these three but this seems too gray like I don't like it that's definitely maybe too gray and too dark but I don't know between these two but then that's might be too wet I think this might be the one but now that I'm thinking about it it's going to be up against this so is it going to look weird I don't know with the coloring like it actually matches pretty well I don't know I need to call my mom all right y'all I'm off to HG for a little Spritz happy hour here's my outfit it's actually my first time being able to wear a coat it's like 60° so this is what we're wearing the Reformation coat that I got this week I'm in love with it also I did get an email just now from Reformation saying that they're having really great Black Friday sales I'm going to really get like so specific on my boards and I don't like throwing product out that like just cuz this one's on Black Friday but stuff that I constantly share and stuff since it's all on my LDK and Shop mine stuff it'll be easy to find anyways my everyday go-to jewelry from a it looks so nice and it's really actually a great price my $8 Target t-shirt as y'all know these jeans they're kind of like high-waisted I thought these were low I mean that's my belly button so they're not I don't know whatever um they're dark wash and I like them they're
