Get ready ladies because it’s officially the holiday season! As with any holiday, and get together in general, I like to decorate and host with my own edgy twist. So it should come as no surprise that during the holidays I stick to chic, neutral-toned hosting and decor pieces so they work with my overall aesthetic. And trust me, I know the holidays will look and feel very different for all of us this year, try to not let that discourage you from creating a warm, inviting, and most importantly fun space for your small gatherings this season! I still plan to host as much (and as safely) as I can with my family and quarantine-crew. So, if you’re as into creating a chic vibe for your guests as I am, keep reading for all of my holiday hosting tips and must-haves from Bloomingdale’s.

GET DRESSED UP

Dust off your favorite pair of heels and get dressed up! As easy as it is to stay in loungewear these days, save your cute sweat sets for a different day and instead reach for a more dressed up look. If you have a sparkly number hanging in your closet I say go for it! But if you want to keep it comfortable this year, opt for a chic trouser, an off-the-shoulder knit, and a low heel. So chic and fun!

SPRUCE UP YOUR BAR CART

I don’t know about you, but I take my role as the hostess with the mostess seriously, and for me, that starts at the bar 😉Bring out your chicest martini + cocktail glasses, decanters, and charcuterie boards to transform your home into the cutest bar in town. ICYMI:Here’s my martini recipe. But don’t forget the blue cheese olives!

SET THE MOOD

Set the mood during your small gatherings with all things cozy. Bloomingdale’s has the best selection of candles, throws + pillows, games, and more. Like this Barefoot Dreams dupe that your guests will fight over!

STAY SAFE

Staying safe has never been so chic with all the cute masks brands are coming out with these days! Here are a few fun masks to wear with your holiday looks this year.

Have a fun and most importantly safe holiday season ladies!
