 We are gonna put up our first of our Christmas tree today. Thought I'd bring you guys along because I would definitely wanna remember that. My first in this house. Yes. Well, we never had a real Christmas tree between us. I mean, obviously our families, but like between us is our first Christmas tree. We've been waiting till we had a house so we could store it. Yes. Well, that's not fake. That's real. It does kind of look fake. But yeah, we've been waiting to have a house so we could actually store the Christmas tree. We also just go home for the holidays. Back to Georgia. We're in Texas if you guys are new. I'm Sonali. This is Ryan and we just bought a house. So we're doing all the fun house stuff. There's lots more innovations to come. I'm in my skims PJs. Anyways, we go home for the holidays. So usually we don't really do too many decorations anyways cause we're home for a while and we're just like, I don't know why I put it up here. But we're doing it early. What's the date? November 14th. So we're doing it early so we can have it up for a good amount of time. And now we have storage. So we have no excuse. We have like non-copyright music in the back because I'm not letting you to. Oh. Let's get started. We bought a Christmas tree from Target. I was originally going to buy a Christmas tree from like Home Depot. What was the other place that we were looking for a Christmas tree? The hobby line. No, no. Where do we go? Yeah. We're matching in skims. She looks like E.T. right now. Where did we go that looked so fake? Oh Costco. The Costco one did not look very good. It looked a little fake. So we went to Target and we actually bought a flocked tree which I used to love flocked trees. I'm kind of over now but this one had warm lights. The one we originally wanted did not have warm lights. It had like white lights. So we're gonna unbox it and hopefully it's good. It was actually on sale and we're gonna wait until after Christmas for this first year to buy a Christmas tree so that it was on sale. But it was on sale before Christmas. I was like, okay, that's great. But I honestly think that sales nowadays are like totally fake because why would it be on sale during peak time of buying a Christmas tree? Like that just does not make sense. So I think they like marked it higher to then make it on sale. Does that make sense? Anyway, let's unbox our first ever Christmas tree. I don't see anything here that I like. So we just have our cutest little Christmas tree skirt on Amazon. It's like a chunky, knit Christmas tree skirt. I thought it looked so cozy and festive and like snowy. I don't even know how to describe it. Okay. You can do it, Amy. Oh God, babe. Glitter is everywhere. Glitter is everywhere. Good. Can we come back here? Should we put it on the other side first? Maybe, yeah. It's pretty easy to... Oh, I'm so scared. I don't have that. Easy. This is really welcome music. Grand reveal. It looks really pretty. Hey, Google, turn all the lights off. Turning 11 lights off. The warm lights were such a good call. That was my call. I picked this out. Okay, you picked this out, but I was saying that we needed warm lights. I love it. Our first Christmas tree. I didn't realize that there's like glitter all over this tree in the store, but it hasn't caught on me really as much as I thought it would. I hate glitter, honestly. I'm just not a big fan, but it really does look pretty on the tree. So hopefully it doesn't get everywhere. We'll just have to vacuum. I think it's a good height, you know? Especially for the space. I got these from Target. How freaking stunning are these ornaments? They are pretty big compared to the tree. And then I got these from Amazon. They actually just came, so it's perfect. But I know like brown's very trendy right now, the chocolate brown, so hopefully it'll look good together. And then we obviously have our cutesy, like little kitschy ornaments that I love so much. And hopefully every year we'll like just add more and more, but those can get expensive. So we're gonna start with like the pretty ones and then just add the cutesy ones. I held out to do the fun ones. Sort of put the sushi on first. Start at the center. That's not even the good sushi one. Sheldon the good sushi one. What's this one? I don't know, I think I got that at like Hobby Lobby on sale. Wait, Sheldon the other one though. This one is beautiful. This was our ornament that we got last year, Bergdorf Goodman, is that what it's called in New York? And it's so detailed. I love ornaments that are so detailed like this with the beads and everything like Tobiko. I feel like that should go front and center. No, change them, change them. That was my favorite. Current, current favorite. I always got a favorite, cute, kitschy ornament. What does kitschy mean? I don't really know. You're just saying that? Yeah. I joke with Ryan whenever he's like, what the heck does that mean? I'm like, no, English was not my first language, but it definitely wasn't my only language, but how freaking cute. One year, H-E-B sent me like a PR package and they sent a little ornament. I mean, it's like kind of a joke, but like also not really a joke because H-E-B is amazing, so. Oh, it's not so funny to me. Can you put it in the back? I like don't really want that, like. Can we have my H-E-B? Okay, whatever. I'm gonna do the popcorn one. This is our most recent edition. He found it at Target. It's so cute. This is another ornament that we got from Bergdorf Goodman. And it has pearls all over. It's so cute, but I was just telling Ryan it's so expensive and like it didn't even come with a dang hug. How does that make sense? Anyways, where should we put this one? Where? Well done. That's all the fun ornaments we have. Hopefully we can collect them over the years, but I definitely want them to be like nicer and I don't know. I just don't want to go all out with like cheap ornaments, I guess. I want them to also be sentimental, all the things. So that's it for now, but I think it looks so good. I think you did good. Not bad. I think you could use maybe a little bit of fluffing. Fluffing, maybe a tree topper, but I also was looking at them online and I didn't really... You're a star. It's kind of messed up. I know, but I didn't really find one that I liked, so I didn't want to sell. I don't really value a tree, Wiseman. Great question. He's so cute. I love little Christmas things like this, like such details. I don't know if it's us. Santy Claus, what are you doing up there? What if he like literally balanced on that one bridge? That would be kind of iconic. Kind of cute up there, what do you think? It is a new day and the Christmas tree is looking beautiful as ever on this disgusting cloudy day. Yesterday and the day before was like the first sunny days in so long, especially since the daylight savings time happened. And so it was so nice. And then I thought there was some sun on the forecast today. I actually had a grad shoot this morning and it was so overcast and misty. And I called her and was like, hey, we can reschedule if you want. She just wanted to go through with it, but I think the photos turned out pretty good given what we were dealing with. It is currently Thursday today, so we're almost to the weekend. We have a fun day ahead of us, so I thought I would vlog. But first I wanna share with you guys a little Dolce Vita unboxing. Well, technically I already unboxed everything for TikTok, but guys, look at these freaking boots. These have been on my want list for so long and I love the little heel because anything lower than four inches is gonna be a lot more comfortable. So I'm hoping these fit over my calves which they definitely look like they will, but I've realized that I have really big calves, unfortunately. So a lot of over like the shin boots do not fit around my calves, which is very unfortunate. And then I got these beautiful ballet flats and there's like a sheen to it. Pearl detail is so cute too. I think these are called sling backs. I may be totally wrong, but I think they're super cute for like a blazer outfit. I need to get dressed because I'm going to meet my friend at this place called Marabu or Marabu. It is on South First Street and it's like a home store with a little cafe in it. I'm going with my friend Nancy and we're both obsessed with box shot, which is like literally down the road. So we're actually gonna go there for a chai after and just chat. And I really need to find a dining table. So she is helping me a lot with like interior design. So I think we're gonna like do some searching on our computers for a dining room table because I ordered my desk and it's like a back order. So it was my breakfast nook table. I just wanted a table to sit at because right now my office is my couch and that's not making me very productive. I could sit on those bar stools right there, but that just would not be very comfortable. Anyways, I'm just talking rambling because I have to go get ready. Here's the outfit of the day. My top is from Z-Supply. Jeans are from Frame. I'm wearing my new Dolce Vida flats. I put my hair up in a barrette. I never do this. I never wear a half a flat down. Pearl earrings. This bracelet comes on. It's like a pearl bracelet, Goriana bracelets. And you're ready to go. But I probably need a jacket, but I don't have like any cute jacket to go with this. So I'll just probably grab her in a jacket. The house is like still a mess guys because I have so many Amazon boxes over here. This is just like all organization stuff. I kind of wanna film a separate video on it. So I'm just like waiting for the perfect moment to do that. So let's go to Foxtrot. The destination is on your left, Foxtrot. Okay, also I love your cardigan so much. Thank you. Yes, of course. We just got parking at Foxtrot because it's literally impossible sometimes to get parking here. So we're actually gonna walk over to Marabou, Marabou, whatever it's called. And then we're gonna come back here and get our chis. I'm so excited. I am so excited. Been craving this. The cutest freaking home store, everything. It's just, oh my God, they have all of those books. Wow. Okay, I'm looking for a little gift for my friend. Damn, they have so much to choose from. There's like a little cafe in the back, all gluten-free baked goods. Love many things. So cute. I need to find a pendant for my dining room too. You need to find a lot of space. I know. Too much space to fill. Look at how beautiful these soaps are. Look like something that would be in like an Italian. Yes, yes. Or like even just like in Capri, like in a gift shop or something. These marble trays. I love Foxtrot. I'm so glad they came to Austin. They have such fun things like, they even have orange wine. They have like a bunch of Jenny ice cream flavors down here. I'm sorry if it's so loud. Oh wait, I've seen that. I don't know. I'm gonna smell it but it's closed. Oh shoot, I've definitely seen that detergent. Yeah. But I was thinking of getting my friend this carbon sauce and then some pasta. And I feel like that's a cute little gift. Back home in my comfies and I feel like I always have to say sorry for the mess but honestly, I think you guys get it. I feel like we're gonna be moving in for the next couple months or just like getting situated. So anyways, this is our dining room right now. But let this be your lesson that you should always measure what furniture you're going to be buying because I was this close to purchasing a dining room table that me and Nancy found. I think it's just like a little too long. I feel like if the door wasn't right here it wouldn't be that big of a deal because this wall is pretty big but then this cuts off right here. So it's actually kind of shorter than it looks because if I get a dining room table this long there's not much space to like walk around it. And this side is like right up against the wall pretty much. So I definitely couldn't not walk around this side. But like it looks like it would fit but you kind of have to think about it logistically. You don't really want your dining room table and your face like right when you walk through the door. It does come in 63 inches but Nancy actually has it in her home and I just space-timed her and she showed me and it looks just too small. Like I feel like it wouldn't fill the space enough. So I think I'm gonna try to find something similar around like 70 inches or a little more than that. Cause right now this is 91 inches and the smallest size they have is 63. So that's like a big jump. I thought I was good to go on the dining room table and it's in stock and everything. So let's just hope I can find something that can get here pretty fast on the boots. I'm gonna just have to say one thing to Dolce Vita. Thank you. Thank you for making boots that fit wide calf people because I struggle, okay? And these actually fit. I mean, they were a little tight. I'm not even gonna lie. But now that they're on, they're like perfect. Ryan's looking so cute today. Look at his outfit. Where'd you get that little Henley waffle? Oh yeah, I bought that for you. That's why it looks so cute. Like the lands with it or not? Yeah. Guys, I saw these in our kitchen. I got them yesterday. I saw these in our kitchen yesterday. Like Ryan wasn't home or something. And they were just like in our kitchen. I was like kind of scared of them. The intruder was like polite and took his shoes off. I just didn't know whose shoes they were. Anyways, this is the fit for tonight. We have this sweater. I think it's from Verdi. The skirt's from Princess Polly. Shoes are obviously Dolce Vita. And I still have my hair in that half up cause I kind of like it. It's getting a little greasy. So we're going to go head out to a Christmas bar. We're going to Maricold and Fifth Street. It's like this crazy Christmas bar. They deck it out to the nines. I went last year and it's actually pretty epic. We said they'd have food and drinks and I'm honestly so hungry. So we're actually going a little bit early. And this is even all of it. We got the grilled cheese and tomato soup, which I remember from last year being super freaking good. This year I got the tamales. Like that sounded so good. And just like cozy food. And then I think we have some more coming up. Oh, olives. Also, I spilled so it's sticky. But this is my favorite drink, definitely. This is the Christmas Palatin and it's delicious. Happy Friday, you guys. Ryan's opening his the gate order. The gate? Yeah, the gate. That's what the tip is. Yeah. What do you think? I'm surprised it came in the real box. Yeah. The came in. It smells like spray paint. You smell it. Oh, God. Oh my God. It smells like oily. Kind of like. I've gotten Louis Vuitton slippers off the gate and like they're pretty legit. And it literally came with the Louis Vuitton box too. They're too small. They're too small? A little bit, yeah. Oh, damn. Like right on the edge. I see. How long did they take to come? I don't know. Like a month or? Yeah, probably. Yeah. What's that? And would you order for your desk or your office? Yeah, I also got like a Hermes blanket. Like it's kind of, well, no, it's not like that, but it's. Like the checkered logo one? The checkered one. I think I just got, it's like orange and like a brownie or something. Nice. Boozy man. Wanted to show you my outfit really quick because I just got this in from Skims. They have their holiday shop live right now. This is not an ad, but they did give me the set and I am obsessed with these cotton ribbed tanks. I feel like I wear them almost daily. I have two heather gray ones, one cream colored one, one black one. Do they buy two black ones? I don't even know. I think I have one black one and then one dark gray and at one end now I'm adding this to my collection. So that's exciting. They're just like the perfect, like, I don't know, daily thing to wear because then you can wear like a cardigan over it or like a hoodie and just like sweat pants. And so that's kind of like on my daily roster for the outfits. I do size down in these tanks to a medium because I want the girls to be a little bit more supported. I will say that they are tiny bit see-through but like if I'm wearing it at home, I'm not really too worried. But for the cream one, I definitely wear like at least some nipple covers with them. But I have never tried their like little ribbed pants. So these are super cute. They're just very holiday-y. This was not an ad, but I will link it down below because I think it's super cute. I message the guy who's gonna do our bathroom renovations about fixing the stairs because if you haven't watched my like past rental vlogs or just like demo vlogs, we took off the molding on the stairs and I just want it to be like literally flush. Like you can't really tell it's like messed up because that's literally what I want it to look like but it just needs to be like covered obviously with some sheetrock. So I'm waiting on a quote for that but I would love that to be done and I really need to stay in these stair noses because this is just like a perfect selfie spot. So I need to get to that. It's a lot later in the day and we're headed to my friend's housewarming party and this is the outfit for tonight. I have this really pretty shirt from Revolve and the pants are actually from Revolve too. I just got it in the mail like yesterday and just tried it on today, but I love these pants. They're from Paige and I don't know if I took the tags off. I should check before I go. They just look very flattering. I love the flair and I actually have like a little sheen to them. They're not fully leather but they look like they're leather. So we love a stretchy pant. So the housewarming party starts at 8.30. It literally feels like it's 10.30 right now, doesn't it? I've been watching Bachelor in Paradise. What'd you say? I've been saving that daylight. We caught up on all the episodes we missed like last week. So yesterday when it was on, we watched last week's and so then we watched this week's today. Also, I don't think I mentioned that this mirror is new. I got it from CB2 and I paid for delivery. Wait, maybe I did mention it then because it got delivered and it was broken the first time. So it came the next Friday and it was perfectly fine but I want to make like a whole separate video on this one comparing it to my IKEA mirror because it's a lot smaller but it's very similar. And I know that CB2 sells a smaller version of this mirror that's similar to the IKEA mirror. Anyways, so hopefully I can do that soon. I wanted you out like on a sunny day and we haven't been having many of those. It's a little baby casual tonight. Mm-hmm. Whatever that means, I'm gonna, so I'm wearing this with a blazer. I literally do not know anything about dress codes. I'm probably not wearing shoes either. It's even harder. What's the house wearing party? You don't want to get it all dirty. Oh, my muff boots. There's mud all over them. Hey, I'll know. What's up, you wearing? Guys, I gave Sophia baths today. She's looking so cute. Like a vow. So beautiful, so elegant. Just looking like a vow. Sophie, come here. Show your face. You will go if you've got a big head. Come here, come here. Are you so cute? Are you the cutest girl in the world? You have to start with are you and then she'll look at you. Are you cute girl? Are you Sophie? I don't think this is necessary. Maybe text Jackson. That's what he's wearing. Yeah, the shoes are cool. I like them. I said, is it the shoes or? Oh, no, it's literally the elbow pads. If you feel sad for Ryan that I'm roasting his outfit, don't because he just roasted mine. So, even though I asked him earlier when I was trying this on, I feel like we're very different vibes. Right now. Are they all black things? Maybe. Or just like a black shirt. Cause that looks like an athletic shirt, you know? What is an athletic shirt? Okay, so change it. The heck? I don't have all my clothes. Well, whose problem is that? Ryan has not gotten his fricking clothes yet.
