Are you still working on your Christmas shopping list? Here are some more last minute ideas that should please the gift recipient...
Kate Spade polka dot coasters and a snazzy iphone 4 hardcover
Although I cannot personally vouch for this game, my friend (and often game partner) Patty, swears it’s super fun.
Love this soft, cozy sweater and the surprise tie-up bow in the back.
Only 12 more days – can you believe it?
The new issue of the online design magazine, Lonny, just came out. It’s awesome eyecandy as always and seemed to have a lot of black and white themed rooms and designs. Here are some of my favorite things from the issue…
Spotted here – this gorgeous tablescape makes me happy. Love the black confetti on a white tablecloth and contrast of gold and red.
Loving these curtains.
Maybe Lee and I wouldn’t fight over the pillows if we monogrammed them like this.
Happy Browsing.
Awhile back, I blogged when my good friend Susan got married. Now, the Barry’s are sharing what I consider The.Best.Christmas Card. Ever.
Check it out below!
This weekend, I’m hoping to GTL (minus the T – that’s just unhealthy) and avoid any Situations. Hope you have a great weekend!
Recently, Lee and I have been talking about taking a long weekend in January after the holidays end. We haven’t taken a trip by ourselves in two years so I’m looking forward to getting away from the distractions of home…Santa Fe, NM and Palm Springs, CA are our top choices right now because of Jetsetter deals, and inexpensive Southwest flights.
Have you been to either? I’d love recommendations and your thoughts!! Lodging and flights costs about the same so here’s some of my preliminary thinking…
| Santa Fe, NM (Pros) | Palm Springs, CA (Pros) |
| Easy to get to | Better weather |
| Could be cold and snowy | Could be boring?? Not sure I’ve never been… |
| Great culture – museums, art galleries, restaurants | Golf (for Lee), potential sunning and the hotel promises good cocktails! |
Here are some beautiful pictures from both cities!
Palm Springs (The Parker isn’t a hotel option, but I definitely want to stop by and see Johnathan Adler’s work as shown below)
Hope you’re having a good week so far!
Sorry - this post title isn't really correlated to the post, but it's a line from my favorite Christmas Movie and it’s in my head.
I'm starting to put together some of our decorations, and it's been fun. Kitty, has already caused some damage - breaking ornaments when he flings himself into our tree, tearing the bows off of presents and creating huge gaps in the trees as shown below.
And a few favorite ornaments including the one Lee put my engagement ring on.
Thanks to the inspiration of the very talented, Kyle Knight, I used Z. Gallerie fillers for our kitchen table centerpiece.
And lastly... PRESENTS! I loved this Ho! Ho! Ho! sparkling wrapping paper from Marshall’s Home Goods.
PS: This is what my Christmas decorations look like in my fantasy world.
PS: Sorry, I saved this image, and I don’t remember where it’s from to give it credit.
This week sure went by fast. What are you doing this weekend? We are attending our company’s holiday party tonight, and I’m heading to Austin to see my little brother graduate from UT. Lots to celebrate this weekend.
Here are some of my favorite gift ideas from this week…
Featured on One King’s Lane – turn a favorite photo into a personalized oil painting.
Seasoning with a sense of humor – love the Mr. and Mrs. Salt and Pepper
This sweater spotted here looks so cozy and warm
Decorate sunburst mirror – spotted here for a very reasonable price
have you seen that new Tommy Hilfiger commercial? I kind of love it. The song is catchy and gets in your head. Plus it reminds me of the Royal Tenenbaums – and I swear I know the guy at the end who cockily says, “Don’t you love the holidays?”… Maybe he just has that look…
I haven’t worn TH in years, but this commercial has peaked my interest. Remember when it was cool to wear the TH polo shirts in middle school? They were huge!
