Wrap It Up Pretty

Last night I was going through the 30lbs of catalogs I receive this time of year and decided instead of tossing them all away to actually go through each of them. I was thrilled that when I did discovered the beautiful packaging that The Container Store is offering this holiday. I love their ideas of coordinating sets of paper that are designed to coordinate with each other without being to matchy matchy. While I still hold the award for worlds worst gift wrapper and usually opt for a gift bag versus a gift box,  I do love a nicely wrapped present and just might give the old fashioned wrapped present a whirl this year...band aids in tow of course!

Seeing Stripes

Stripes are always my go to pattern for every season. I love them dressed up & dressed down and wanted to share a few of my favorite ways to wear them and accessorize with them.

color crush - winter white


I pretty much adore all white in every form possible. I noticed a trend on my pinning lately and that I was constantly liking all things neutral. I find that the monotone color palette is so soothing {that is till someone spills & stains}and always chic. Here are a few of my favorite images and items which have me dreaming of a snowy day with soft winter white surroundings. What do you think of this color past labor day???

The Product Farm

In college my friends and I would call a drink on the go a "road soda" and it usually was some random concoction of whatever was available in our apartment and was usually poured into a empty soda bottle for a walk across campus to go to a party. Now that we are more sophisticated older and enjoy a nice glass of wine versus a beer I was beyond thrilled to stumble upon the Vino2Go via The Product Farm. This adult sippy cup is perfect for the beach, by the pool, camping, picnics and pretty much any other activity where you would crave some wine and not have to schlep breakable glasses and bulky bottles with you. It just might be the perfect stocking stuffer for the wine connoisseur in your family for $16!

Piece of Cake

I already have shared my complete admiration for Cake Vintage in the gift guides for the hostess and their fun cut out version for the kiddos. However that was just the tip of the iceberg on the offerings available by this fun new paper product brand. Not only will these pretty papers make clean up a breeze but they also can be personalized for a special occasion such as a wedding or baby shower which I just am flipping in love with! That darling little crab would just be perfect for a seafood bake too. I adore each and every setting they offer just take a look at some of their beautifully designed options below. Which is your favorite???

Happy Thanksgiving!

John and I are off to Shelter Island for the long weekend and I couldn't be more excited! Our Thanksgiving usually means lots of vino, lots of carbs (I could just have the mashed potatoes & stuffing for my meal) and of course lots of sweets followed with round two in our pajamas around midnight.While this year will be a smaller amount of family in attendance then usual, I am sooooo looking forwarding to getting home and to start enjoying some quality time with my husband, the folks and of course my sweet Khloe

What are you all doing for the holiday???

Wishing you a very 
Happy Thanksgiving 
to you & your family & thank you so much for reading this blog!!!

Party to Outfit

One of my favorite bits to write on the blog is the party to outfit posts which you can see here, here and even a guest post here. Celebrations and soirees are a constant inspiration for me not only for my own entertaining purposes but also for creating stylish ensembles. After-all a successful soiree starts off with a great color palette and is chock full of stylish details.  When I saw this fabulous fete for a 40th birthday party I knew I could use it for a sassy holiday outfit. I was totally smitten with the festive yet feminine color combinations the organizers chose and all those delicious details were executed perfectly! I used this image to create a not so typical holiday outfit that is girly but not over the top as the leather elements help keep the frilly in check. I also included some style steals for each item to help save some cash - fist pump for the bank account!

Tin Tiles

I have always had a soft spot for the look of a vintage style tin ceilings. The worn in look and ornate details always intrigued me to file away my favorite looks for the use in a future home. However, as I get older I find the things that I always loved change. While I still love this look, perhaps a ceiling tile isn't how it should be used. Enter NLXL a Netherlands company specializing in high quality wall paper which includes my beloved antique tin tile styles. Bonus is that you can wipe this paper down with a soft cloth for cleaning and the walls are pasted, not the paper which makes installation much easier than your standard wallpaper. You can also purchase any of the looks below here and even order a sample for your home get the perfect match!

Insta-magnet


A few years ago as a gag gift I gave everyone in my family a magnet with a photo of myself sitting in front of my Charlie Brown Christmas Tree in my Christmas pajamas with text that read "Merry Christmas from your favorite family member".  Some people in the family didn't think it was as hilarious as I did but my sweet niece Emma loved them and up till their recent move made my sister keep the magnets on their fridge four years later. So with that being said you can imagine my excitement when I saw that my beloved Instagram  photos can be converted in magnets with this fun new online company called StickyGram. This easy breezy process is as simple as linking your Instagram to their site, choosing which photos you want converted into magnets then waiting for your adorable images to arrive. If you are addicted to Instagram like moi, this is a stellar find - enjoy!
