I'm Loving . . .

I’m all about the classics this season – it definitely makes it easier to get ready in the morning. Grey, off white and camel are my go to colors for the entire season.

This mac & cheese w/ roasted chicken, goat cheese, and rosemary looks like a decadent winter treat for a cold night at home.
You can never have enough letterpress cards and these are stunning. I’m putting them on my Christmas wish list (hint hint).

I’ve been trying to figure out where I could put a fiddlehead fig tree in my apartment, but there just isn’t enough room – believe me I’ve looked in every corner. I love the mix of the fig branch with the tree in the background. One day I will have my own!

I'm Loving . . .

Perfecting a messy bun seems more challenging than wearing my hair down. Do any of you feel the same way? This one in particular is at the perfect height and is slightly messy, but not too messy that it looks like you just rolled out of bed. I'll be attempting it this weekend.

A delicious treat that's perfect for a movie night at home. It's the grownup version of milk and cookies!

Who doesn't need a little metallic on their desk? This is going on my Christmas wish list.

It's been another whirlwind week at work and after tomorrow's photo shoot I'll be ready to unwind at home being lazy and cozying up in bed with my stack of magazines I've been neglecting. Wish we could skip Friday and go straight into the weekend!

Do you ever come across a look that you want to steal? It happens to me all the time. Sometimes I just want the bag, shoes, or the perfect handbag that needs to be on my shoulder - in this case I want the WHOLE look.  From head to toe, it's pure perfection. This gals got fabulous style . . . she even cuffs her jeans like I do.

Anyone know where I can get a cape and boots like hers? They are going directly on my wishlist!

decisions, decisions . . .

To get an iPad or not to get an iPad? That is the question. I've been debating about asking for this little number for Christmas,but want to know if it's worth all the hype. So, if you have one - what do you love? what are your dislikes? I want to know everything.

It would be a fun gadget to spend countless hours on!

Holiday Guide: I'm Loving . . .

Since Thanksgiving I've been scouring the internet for gifts and I haven't gotten very far. However, since I've been on every website known to man, I've found some fabulous gifts I'm lusting over (hint hint honey). All of these gifts could be wonderful to give as well.

Oh how I love thee, Pippa Small necklace. There's something about the simplicity of her jewelry that makes my heart beat a little faster. I've been eyeing her jewelry for years and I'm hoping I can find something similar to this necklace for my rehearsal dinner. Chrysophase Colette and Pea Pod Necklace $2,075

Everyone knows that I'm obsessed with blankets, any texture, fabric or color. I think my fiance would kill me if I came home with another one, but I can't stop thinking about it. I've been drawn to this blanket ever since Cassandra, over at coco+kelley put it on her wishlist. Striped Linen with Gold Trim Blanket $395

I had to add this to my wishlist the moment I walked past it at Barney's. Chunky rings have always been one of my favorite accessories. I've been careful about the one's I buy and I think this one would be a great addition to my collection. Manu Crystal Quartz & Agate Ring $195

Who wouldn't want something to keep warm? This comfy fleece would definitely keep me cozy this winter. With temperatures dropping to the 30's here in San Francisco, I have a feeling that this winter is going to be a cold one. Patagonia Jacket $195

Lastly, I'm always looking for a new calendar to spruce up my cube at work. Out of the hundreds I've seen, I keep going back to this one on esty. Each illustration is unique and colorful. Santa, can you please add this to my stocking. 2010 Illustrated Calendar - Floradouville's Shop $14
