TGIF, friends!! For this week’s 5 on Friday I’ll be revealing our very first Christmas card (yay!) and sharing my five favorite ornaments. Growing up, my family always had a mix & match tree full of fun ornaments and Ryan & I have started our own tradition of collection ornaments from places that we’ve traveled. Ps. Be sure to scroll down to the bottom for a giveaway you don’t want to miss. Trust me.
one // The newest addition to our tree is our lovely little ornament from the Grove Park Inn where we got engaged! I was so excited to find this in our room after the proposal and it will always serve as a reminder of that super special day for me and my fiancé.
two // The chocolate covered strawberry reminds me of my Zeta Tau Alpha sorority days. The strawberry was one of our symbols and this is one of the few ornaments that I’ve held onto since college. Plus, I think it looks super delicious!
three // Last year was my very first time visiting the Biltmore House and it was extra special during Christmas time. I loved that I got to go with Ryan and his family and I couldn’t imagine a more magical place to be for the holidays!
four // My friend Kelly got me this little snow globe my freshman year of college and it has a cute little quote and is engraved with our initials. This one definitely has some sentimental value plus I love it because it’s pink!
five // Last year, Ryan’s dad and stepmom got me the cutest little ornament ever that definitely has a special place in my heart. This is the cutest little lab coat with a stethoscope personalized with my name to commemorate my time in PA school (ps. only 1 year until graduation!!)
For the next week, I am teaming up with Zelle from Southern Style and 20 other fab bloggers to give away a $300 Tory Burch gift card to celebrate Zelle’s blogiversary! This giveaway is just in time for the holidays, so you have the chance to give yourself (or someone else) the gift of Tory Burch (and who wouldn’t want that, right??)! The more ways you enter, the better your chances are! The giveaway ends on Friday, December 19th at midnight. Good luck, be sure to check out all of these fab blogs, and here are some of my fave Tory Burch pieces!
