I’m trying really hard not too get too excited about my upcoming trip until I’m done with my final exam next Monday, but I can feel the excitement bubbling up. I also can’t help but get excited this time of year. I love the whole hype that comes with the holidays – even the dreaded gift giving/buying part. I blame my giddiness on my mom. She knows how to do Christmas decor right and would decorate our house top to bottom every year.
She’s toned down the decor a bit since Lar and I have moved out, but she still does makes the house look amazing every year. Here’s just a taste of some of our mom’s holiday decor this year:
See what I mean about her decorating skills? Who wouldn’t love the holidays with a mom like that?!
I spent the weekend finishing a paper, making holiday gifts and going on the Decatur Candlelight Home Tour – it was no Edinburgh Castle tour, but it was fun! And of course Troy and I stopped by Ale Yeah for some beer on Sunday, because, you know, we can.
Outfit details: Sweater from Lila in Inman Park, Alternative tank, Blank cords, Mango boots and Asos purse.

Dear Larbar,
I love seeing photos of you at the Castle! I definitely visited it when we were studying there, but I can’t remember if we went together. I love the little chapel that’s there – the oldest building in the city. It’s so cool to step out from the chapel and see the whole city.
Only a week and a half left!
love, cath
Ohhhhh I love Christmas!!! Those decorations are beautiful!
Lurve all your fringey fringe kitcath! Ooo I so wish I could have gone on the Tour of Homes with you guys!
Mom’s decor is gorgeous! She sent me that same little owl that is in the bell jar (she told me she had Silvia Plathed it ;). I put mine on the mantle here – will show pics in the next post.
1.5 WEEKS!!!!!
LOVE,
Larbar
