Have you seen the new West Elm holiday catalog? I literally squealed with delight as I flipped through it (that normally only happens with the Anthropologie catalog). Beautifully styled and chock-full of amazing holiday hostess gifts, Christmas gifts, and holiday decor, I couldn’t resist sharing a few favorites with you. Typical holiday decor never really speaks to me (and doesn’t fit in with the style of our house), but I’m a total sucker for all things white, shiny and soft, like these sweet owls, moody feathery wreaths, and cuddle-worthy faux fur blankets. And, even though it’s a beautiful, sunny 80-degree day as I type this from my terrace, I look forward to cold nights worthy of cozying up indoors.

As previously mentioned, I’m not big on autumnal hues either, so I love the use of poppy colors, stripes, and zigzags. A fresh and modern holiday indeed. What do you think? Are you a fan of these new pieces? Or, do you prefer more traditional holiday decor?

You can see and shop all of the above and more online at West Elm.
