5 Under $50: Winter Classics
Posted by on December 7, 2012
I’m overdue for an installment of 5 under $50 — and this week I have a bit of a mish-mosh of items, but they all have one thing in common: they’re classics! (Oh and they’re nice on the wallet too!) How about those bow heels and the blazer with metallic threads? I want both to wear to holiday parties!
Fairisle mittens ($15), metallic accent blazer ($31), moss stitch hat ($28), leopard cuff bracelet ($38), patent nude bow heel ($32)
Shindig inspiration.
Posted by on December 6, 2012
I know that this is a major faux-paus, but while everyone is excited about decorating their tree, my mind zooms straight past Christmas and to my favorite holiday: New Years Eve. While my annual New Year’s shindig may be a month away, I already have my wheels turning gathering inspiration for some fun little touches. Tinsel and drink toppers are on the DIY to-do-list, and I’m seriously eyeing those numbered rocks glasses — aren’t they cute?

Macarons & Tinsel.
Posted by on December 3, 2012
The snow started falling in Boston on Saturday and it made me feel like the holidays were officially here. I snagged some really cute metallic wrapping paper and tinsel bows while I was out shopping — I can’t wait to start wrapping presents with these. And Sunday I found the holy grail at Trader Joes: Peppermint Mocha macarons in a bright shocking pink — this box was just a ‘test’ to make sure they lived up to expectations for some holiday entertaining — and they certainly did!

Scenes from the weekend.

After a long weekend in New York at home, you’d think I’d have more than just pictures of bar carts to share with you — but that’s just how my family rolls! From starting the day off with a bloody mary bar, to clinking champagne while we cooked, it was great to really celebrate with the people I love. It sure is hard to go back to reality after a few days of non-stop fun though! How was your Thanksgiving weekend? 
Holiday Gift Guide: Think Pink
Posted by on November 23, 2012
We’ve got one last color-themed holiday gift guide this week, and I had to save the best for last: pink! I wouldn’t mind wheeling around on that hot pink cruiser or donning those striped bow gloves! And is there any better gift for a blogger than a hot pink external iPhone battery? I think not!
