Three sets of sleeves I’m LOVING!! LES ALPES s Three sets of sleeves I’m LOVING!! 

LES ALPES sweater is so darn soft! It fits big, though, so I recommend sizing down! I’m wearing a medium.

The cream JOY sweater is adorable! Also wearing a medium here. This same style comes in gray with a bow instead of the word joy! 

This denim jacket is SO MUCH FUN! I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. It’s the coolest cut! I sized up to XL because I liked the loose fit. But that’s just my preference! 

Here’s the link >> https://liketk.it/5xDDw

It’s our second year with a holiday home full of It’s our second year with a holiday home full of @trutonebulbs and I just love it so much!!! Tru-Tone bulbs look vintage but are actually LED so they’re not blazing hot like the ol’ nostalgic ones. I’m a huge light snob, and Tru-Tones pass the test! 

Not only are their bulbs gorgeous, but their bulb accessories!!! Oh my goodness! The Star-Lites are the beautiful star things you see on our flocked tree in this video and they are a DREAM. I’m still loving the Ice Lite round bulb covers that we have had for a while, too.

Tru-Tone is such a fun brand with amazing products and amazing customer service. I’m blessed to get to partner with them!
