But this year we’ve been preaching preparedness so that you feel more in control of what should be a joyous season. So to help relieve some of the pressure, the PINCK team has been working behind the scenes to make gifting the people you love a little easier.

You know we love any excuse for a party here at the SoP HQ, so we weren’t going to let the semester end (yes, we still count semesters bc we have interns on our team) without celebrating the holidays with our entire office.

Not everyone is in the office at the same time, so the trick was figuring out when everyone could attend. We landed on 11am one Wednesday morning, so since that didn’t really feel like “party time” we though it would be fun to turn it into a pj party.

Each year, my friend group hosts a Christmas ornament exchange which just gives us all an excuse to gather + drink the holiday spirits… but it also gives us the opportunity to add one new, special ornament to our personal collections.

If you’ve been following us on Instagram, you might have caught our behind-the-scenes reel at decorating our beautiful island home in Charleston!

I’ve been dreaming about this moment since last Christmas! Though I’m adamant on “no Christmas decor until after Thanksgiving”, last year we didn’t decorate our Lowcountry home for Christmas and I’ve been imagining a tree overlooking the river ever since. 

And wow it was worth the wait! Not only did I find the perfect decor to complement our coastal oasis, it happened just in time for Teagan to start comprehending the holiday season and all the magic it brings!

When I attended my friends’ annual Progressive Park Street Party last year, I knew I wanted PINCK on Park to be a stop this year!

The idea of a progressive party is so fun. Guests arrive at a starting location and then, as a unit, they all move (or progress) to the next location! We used a vintage trolley to transport us to three locations this year, but our HQ was the first stop!

Just a couple of weeks ago, I along with several other influencers and STS lovers were invited to The Greenbrier to shoot the Sail to Sable x Style Charade Holiday 2022 Capsule Collection. I was sooo excited as I have always loved visiting this gorgeous place. If you have not heard of The Greenbrier before, it is a National Historic Landmark and a world-class resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and has been serving guests since 1778.

If I’m being completely honest– I don’t need anything for Christmas this year bc God has given me everything I’ve ever dreamed of. Earlier this month I got to marry a man that has taught me more about love than anyone else on this planet, and if you ask me…that’s really the only gift I need.

Buuuuut– if Santa is listening I’ve put together a list of 10 completely unnecessary, yet extravagant items from luxury designers that I’d be more than willing to add to my collection.

It’s been a whirlwind of a month already, but the real festivities have yet to begin! We’re only a few days away from Christmas and if I’m being completely honest– beneath our Christmas Tree is totally empty! Between my bachelorette party + the wedding, I haven’t had a chance to purchase anything for anyone. Todd is notorious for waiting until Christmas Eve to shop, but I have at least have a list of what to buy for whom written down.

I hate to admit it, but as you get older the feeling of the holidays really just isn’t the same. Sure, Christmas is much more than Santa Claus and gifts, but you have to admit that the anticipation to Christmas morning that you’d feel as a kid is nearly non-existent as adult. Honestly, I’m just excited about the day off and the meal my grandma will serve our family!

At this age, if you’re looking for a little holiday magic in your life you have to create it yourself.
