December Flowers!!!!!

One of my absolutely favorite things is to decorate our house for Christmas.  I have to admit I am much better at some parts than others.  For example, the outdoor decorating.  I really am challenged when it comes to making the front of my house look festive.  I have tried..I really have…garland, lit, unlit, wreaths on every window, light up deers flanking the front door.  I am just not good.  Luckily for me I called Megan McSherry!!!  She is so talented and she came over, swooped in and decorated my planters that are on either side of my front door and garage.  It took her no time at all and the finished result is beautiful.  I just need to add my wreaths and we are ready for Santa.  Megan is based in Bronxville, NY but she will travel to all neighboring towns and even into Connecticut to do YOUR garden pots.  I promise you, you are going to LOVE her work.  Here are some of my favorite designs that she has done.  Please contact Megan HERE.  She books up fast so I would email her sooner than later but she is very quick, efficient and VERY REASONABLE!!!!!  Bon Weekend!!!!

One of my favorite Jewelry designers, Susan Hanover has just opened a pop up shop on Greenwich Ave, between Sephora and CVS.  You might remember Susan’s fabulous earrings, that I featured many times in the past on this blog,  because they have been chosen not once but TWICE as Oprah’s Favorite Holiday Things…I went to visit Susan in her store today and I swear I could have walked out with every single piece of jewelry.  She also had some incredible box clutches that would make amazing Christmas gifts.  Susan has so generously offered to give NS Lifestyle readers 15% off all in store purchases for the next week.  So drop in and say Hi and tell her you read about her on my blog…you really will fall in LOVE with everything.

A Black Friday Treat

Are you an anti-Black Friday shopper?  Maybe you are looking for something else to do other than SHOP!!!   A fabulous new bakery opened in Armonk called Sugar Hi….Twin Sisters Hillary and Elissa combine their respective expertise in baking/cake designing and event decor designing into this culinary fantasy.  Every single thing we tried at Sugar Hi was delicious….the funfetti cookie, the banana pudding, and the homemade snickers were our favs but everything looked incredible…We cannot wait to go back!!  See you there!!!!

Holiday Home Goods Wrap Up

I did a quick run through Home Goods (the Port Chester location) yesterday.  I was looking for some last minute Thanksgiving entertaining items and also get a jump start on the Christmas decor offerings.  As usual HG did not disappoint…There were some really pretty items in stock…..Enjoy!!!!

These metallic hair calf pillows were incredible!!!!

 I almost bought these adorable santa cocktail glasses.  There were 10…How perfect for Holiday entertaining or for someone who hosts Christmas!!!!??

I loved these Pheasant dishes….So great for Thanksgiving!!!

I love these gold reindeer candles…These would look great on a bar cart or shelves or on a kitchen island…really anywhere!!!!!!

This is the BEST table centerpiece I have seen….it would look incredible with the candles in place on a dining room table..I don’t know if you can see the amazing antlers scattered throughout.  This would also look great on a fireplace mantle!!!!

I saw something similar last year..how about a pair of these flanking your front door?…soooo pretty…

The gourmet gifts were incredible..I loved the cookie decorating kits and snowman gumballs!!!!!

How gorgeous are these sputnik lamps…sooo chic!!!!

I love this Christmas Dog statue!!!!!

This was one of my favorite things in the entire store…a copper bowl with built in nut cracker…no one ever serves nuts during the holidays anymore…we need this to bring the tradition back!!!!
There were a pair of these brushed nickel and velvet stools…..These would look great in front of a fireplace!!!  Actually they would look great in any room!!!

Such a chic gold statue on a lucite stand!!!  Soooo cool!!!

 And of course this sums it all up!!!  I had to bring it home with me!!!!!
