Here is the first look at our living room for the holidays! My husband and I live in a Philadelphia row home which we moved into a little over a year ago. The homes in the city of Philadelphia are narrow but very tall (to put it into perspective). I just love the way our living room turned out.

Over the past year my husband and I have been slowly decorating our home. Immediately when we moved in last year we bought all the bigger items such as furniture and have been slowly layering in pieces when it made sense.

My goal for this space was to create a cozy atmosphere but without being too "girly." Seriously if I could, I would decorate the living room in tones of white, pink, gold, and fur accents. But it was very important to me to find a balance between my style and my husband's. I also wanted to keep the living area neutral because the living room leads into our kitchen on the other side of the first floor. I started off furnishing the living room by ordering the sectional and are rug. We then found this painting at At Home while we were down in Virginia for a weekend and it really helped to pull the gold and blue accents together. The last touch were the lush velvet pillows and the cozy fur pillow which the people over at West Elm in Center City were so nice to help me with.

It was also important to have a side table with a lamp because using all the bright lights in the home make the first floor really warm. I love the soft light that the lamp brings into the room. Both were actually finds from Homegoods so I could not link the exact pieces.

I love that the space is cozy and neutral and we can easily switch out pieces if we need too! I linked some of the items below.

The Perfect Statement Vest for the Holidays

Statement Vest: Catherine Malandrino / V-Neck Pullover: BP / Jeans: JCrew
OTK Boots: Sam Edelman (Dupe for Stuart Weitzman Lowland)
Watch: Movado Bold / Sunglasses: Nicole Miller c/o / Purse: Saint Laurent

One trend which seems to come back each year is a statement vest.  Fur vests are such a statement piece and I love how cozy they are. Since my husband and I were going to be out and about in the city for the day I wanted to keep this look chic yet simple. This statement vest is soo soft and I like that the back of it is knit. I paired this look with a black long-sleeve v-neck pullover and my favorite pair of JCrew high waisted jeans.

While we're on the subject of jeans, I have such a hard time finding a good pair of jeans that fit. Most jeans that I try on are either way too tight in the calves or fit fine in the calves but then have a gap in the waist area. These jeans by JCrew are seriously amazing! They are beautiful skinny jeans that are not only have a high-waist, but also provide a nice stretch.  The actual material of the denim is really nice (not too thin like most jean material out there nowadays). The style of the jeans are cropped so they are perfect to tuck into boots or wear them with flats. These are my go-to jeans in my closet right now and I seriously want to buy them in more colors!
