I could not let this month go by without squeezing in a “Christmas in July” post. Quite frankly, I have no clue where the whole “Christmas in July” thing came from, but when you live in South Florida Christmas in July isn’t very different than Christmas in December. Either way, it’s 80 degrees outside and the line at Target is so long that you’re convinced they’re having a “buy one, get a million free” sale.
For today’s Style Watch post, I’ve got a little bit of new combined with a lotta bit of old. The Banner Die collection is one of my favorites – and this time around I gave it a “modern vintage” look. So you may be wondering what “modern vintage” means. Well…truth be told, I just made that up…but I think it fits the bill. Modern in it’s simplicity, but a little vintage with the use of doilies and burlap.
The burlap banner pockets and the monogrammed circles make this garland the perfect substitution for stockings. Fill each pocket with notes and sweets for a twist on tradition.
And before I go, I’m excited to announce the winners of the giveaways that were featured in Friday’s Damask Love Live: Revisited series. Thanks for hanging out with me and reliving the fun of Damask Love Live. Hope to see you at the next one!
If you are one of the lucky winner, please send me an email so that I can get your goodies in the mail!

Hey Emily!! So glad you left another comment. Looks like your emails ended up in my spam folder!!YIKES! Off to send you an email now:-)
Great!
A very stylish Christmas banner! It looks bright and atmospheric, instantly creating a festive mood. The design is modern and really eye-catching. By the way, could you tell me which casino has Christmas slots? I’d like to try something themed for the holidays.
From my experience, when choosing a casino, it’s important to pay attention to a few key things: the platform’s reputation, the variety of slots, available bonuses, and the speed of payouts. Many beginners focus only on bonuses, but in reality, ease of use and stable performance are just as important. Personally, I like to play on platforms that offer a wide selection of themed games — for example, holiday or winter slots, because they create a special festive atmosphere. It’s also important that the rules are clear and that there is reliable player support. If you want to check out one option, you can visit: winwin-bet.so/They usually have a variety of slot games, and sometimes you can find interesting themed slots. In any case, I recommend playing responsibly and setting limits — it makes the experience much more enjoyable.
The Giggly Squad stylish merch apparel looks clean and comfortable. The simple designs make the clothing easy to pair with other pieces.
