Holiday Gift Guide For The Kiddos

As my nieces get older we are buying less toys but I couldn't resist sharing a few favorites that are sure to make kiddos at all ages happy come Christmas morning...because let's face it, the holidays are meant for kids and nothing is better then seeing them rip through their packages at the speed of light.



Parents all across the land will likely despise this box of instruments from the incessant noise but kids LOVE to bang things & make music so who are we to deprive them of that happiness?!

Babies can be a challenge since they aren't too much into toys so I picked out this adorable vegetable collection of rattles & monogrammed stroller blanket that are too cute for words.

Laughing is the best...so for the little comedian in your life this box of jokes provides materials for days!

Calling all Star Wars fans, these light sabers are fun for a sword fight & this bedding is just plane awesome.

Keep your kiddo warm with this adorable hat that makes them feel like a superhero & winter boots that happily coordinate.

Fitbit is big among my nieces, I love that they all can get a color that they love.

J.Crew has the absolute best kids pajamas. I wish they came in grown up size. Make the gift extra special with some sparkly slippers.

How adorable are these little dolls made from up cycled cashmere?!

The Magic Eight Ball was such a fun gift when I was a kid. I am not surprised that kids still love it. My littlest niece told me this was on her list to santa.

I die over this pizza slice bag. Its SO good!

My sister in law once that the best gift she could give her girls was the love of reading. These personalized puffin classics not only look great on a shelf but will also help start a great collection of books for your kids.

These hover boards make me so nervous but i have pretty much heard every kid I know ask for them. I would pair it with these matching pads & a helmet.

Good lord I loved having an indoor tent as a kid...mine were not this cool but I absolutely adore this one & love that it comes in a slew of beautiful colors.

Holiday Gift Guide - For The Pets

Yesterday as I finished packing up the car to head to NYC, I stepped in dog poop not once but TWICE and ruined a pair of my favorite flats. Which I dwelled on for my four hour drive to the big apple. As I called to tell my my mom the story, I instead I got my dad on the line who kept things in perspective by telling me "that's hilarious, wait till I tell Khloe & Kaiser". Which I turned into an opportunity to start brainstorming what I am getting those two loves of my life. So whether you are gifting your faithful companion or someone who has a beloved pet, there are tons of amazing presents to give to those furry friends of ours or those who are pet obsessed like moi.


one - John & I had a pet fish together when we first started dating, it's home was definitely not as chic as this one, maybe we should give it a try again!
two - I may not be a cat fancier but this scratcher is super chic for $50!
three - Calling all hipster dogs...this bone zone hat will help keep those ears warm all winter long!
four - Make travel on the go with your pet a breeze in this cute carrier.
five - Dress up your furry baby with this cute bow tie over the collar.
six - Merry Woofmas to all & to all a good night!
seven - Mac & cheese in the form of a biscuit for pooches and how can you resist those tartan tins.
eight - Travel made easy with these foldable bowls.
nine - What pooch wouldn't want to call this little teepee tent his own for nap time. 
ten - Toys are always appreciated by dogs of all ages and these plaid scotties are no exception.
eleven - A city essential for those people who actually curb their dogs, these little bag wallet's clasp onto the leash so you never forget them.
twelve - Your furry babies kibble will look far more appetizing in this adorable candy colored trio of bowls & canisters.
thirteen - I wish these little puffer jackets came in sizes big enough for bigger dogs, shouldn't they get to look stylish too?

Travel Style

Morning friends! My apologies for the lack of a post yesterday. I was up in Maine for the weekend celebrating my best friends engagement and left the old lap top back in Boston. My husband and I have been on the go quite a bit these days and are about to head off again to the West coast but this time with my folks. I feel so fortunate to have parents who still enjoy travel, it was something we did often as a family when I was younger and has given me a lot of great memories that I will forever cherish. Growing up we were taught to treat travel as a luxury, something my father worked very hard to provide for us. It meant we were always dressed up for our flights and always had to be on our best behavior. This lesson stays with me to this day, I am so grateful for the travel I get to experience and like to be at my best when flying. Which means for me a put together outfit that is also comfy along with efficient packing with my travel essentials to keep myself entertained in flight as well as items for freshening up upon landing. A little travel style inspiration round up of my favorites are below.

Monogram Me

It's no secret I love a good monogram. Whether it be a single letter or the traditional three letter initials, these little personalized goodies always make a gift feel extra special. For me finding stylish and quality monogrammed gifts is easy one stop shopping with Mark & Graham. Their selection of gift ideas with a little custom touch are truly endless. So whether you are gifting a newly wed couple, new homeowners, friends & family {pups included} or just yourself. I feel pretty confident you will find something you love. A few of my favorites are below. 

trays // robe // hats // napkins // bermuda bag // bar set //  clutch // leather goods // jewelry case // striped shirts // bridal collection // wallet & money clip // copper mugs // wood tray // dishes // cocktail napkins // wine bags

Weekend Wear - Casual

When it comes to being comfortable is there anything better then a classic jeans and t-shirt? I thought I would use inspiration from Mondays peplum post and share this striped beauty that looks positively comfy without sacrificing style. Of course great flats are in order for strolling around town.
