Finding Meaningful (and Useful) Holidays Gifts this Season

I’ve always had very, very good luck at knocking out a bunch of gifts in one fell swoop at T.J.Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods around the holiday season, and sometimes I enter the store with a mission and specific gift in mind, but occasionally I will just rely on the mix of inventory to hint at what I should get, which can be thousands of items each week.  With that kind of ratio,  gift inspiration is bound to strike! I love that I can discover quality gifts for newborns and 90-year-olds alike at one place, making it a year-round destination for presents for loved ones and of course, myself! I even outfitted my dog-niece, Beatrice, in an adorable reindeer outfit from T.J.Maxx last Christmas.

Have you ever starred and stared into the depths of a closet or part of a room, and felt overwhelmed and frustrated, stumped on how to create a noticeable improvement? Welcome to my world, although I’m sure all of us have been there at one point or another in our lives. I’ve also had the “that’s cool, but I have no idea what to do with it” reaction to objects for the home that I’ve come across, needed some guidance, and a second opinion.

Luckily, this past week, I was able to meet event planner and lifestyle expert extraordinaire, Mindy Weiss, who transformed an indoor/outdoor penthouse at NYC’s Giraffe Hotel into a warm, inviting space. As we walked through the space, I snapped photos  and have some of the great tips listed below, so that you can apply them to your abode immediately. All of the items shown were purchased for a GREAT price at HomeGoods (Mindy shared that she gathered the pieces from four different locations). And now, you can see what your local store has to offer and garner inspiration without even setting a foot inside of it with the new app, theGOODS, or for some general inspiration, follow HomeGoods on Pinterest.

Table setting does not have to be so boring and traditional; mix and match patterns, textures and colors for a modern feel. You can buy complete sets at HomeGoods, but sometimes it’s fun to have a more eclectic, and modern, feel to a dinner party.

Get HomeGoods Happy With Fashionable Accents for Fall

by

I make a huge effort to bring great design, style,  and certain individual element into every aspect of my life from apparel and accessories that I wear, down to the pen that I carry in my handbag. The only area that I seem to repeatedly fail, however, is in the home; just because I have a great eye for fashion and beauty doesn’t mean I can translate it into interior design, and I certainly admit that I struggle with it, and in particular on cutting down the clutter and making my home more minimalist and  chic.

The timing couldn’t be better, as I enter into a new phase of life with my husband, and we are in need of some changes and upgrades to our home, that I got some one-on-one time with TV personality and interior designer Genevieve Gorder (host of Dear Genevieve and HGTV Design Star) and HomeGoods this past week. HomeGoods and Genevieve had decked out a gorgeous loft in Manhattan, completely with pieces from the store, with the mindset of showing how to mix and match while incorporating whimsical and practical pieces, in a bevy of hot colors for the season (bright blues, yellows, moss green). Now THIS, I can definitely get behind!

As I walked through, room by room with Genevieve, there were a ton of pieces, from couches to coasters, that compelled me to head to the closest HomeGoods this weekend in search of these affordable pieces, and as a major plus, Genevieve was so inspiring and creative that I feel hopeful, instead of overwhelmed, with making little updates to my home that will make a huge difference! See above for my favorite pieces, available at HomeGoods, and below for tips and insights from the pro, Genevieve Gorder!
