I’m trying hard to recycle a few of my little black dresses this year- but I’m secretly eying these two dresses from Anthropologie. I love the back of the cream dress, and the bold orange-red colour of the latter.

Holiday Dresses.
December 13, 2009For The Hostess.
December 9, 2009The holidays bring a lot of dinners and work events, all of which require a token of thanks. I’ve picked a few of my favorite hostess gifts to go along with the bottle of wine (or two!) I’ll be bringing.
{1. Lucia thyme and coriander soy candle, via Shoestring Home. 2. Petals in pink 3. Wilkins & Sons brandy butter. 4. Dinner party table topics. 5. Address rubber stamp, via Sweet Paperie. 6. Chocolates by Godiva. 7. Emile Henry ruffled cake stand, via Williams Sonoma. 8. Fleur de Sel 9. Fresh herbs, potted.}
Boudoir Tour: Chantale Renee’s Sanctuary.
December 8, 2009My bestie moved to a new place recently- the perfect excuse to re-organize and decorate her bedroom. I wish you could see the before pictures, this room was disgusting (I even helped paint!) Chantale has collected many trinkets and pretty things over the years, so this room is the perfect reflection of her character.
This also happens to be where I spend a lot of my time.
Miss Barbie Louboutin.
December 7, 2009I’ll admit I played with barbies long after the time I should’ve stopped- my mom rationalized it by saying she never wanted to curb my creativity! This grown-up barbie is a collectible item for the fashion minded lady. Christian Louboutin released a limited edition Barbie, complete with 4 sets of the red sole shoes (and a Paris journal!) Louboutin is set to release a themed safari, showgirl and Cannes Film Festival Barbie in 2010. Stay tuned!
Monsieur’s Wish List.
December 6, 2009The holidays are a double whammy for the bf and I- we both happen to have our birthdays near Christmas, mine a week before, and his a week after (New Year’s baby!) To ease the double gift stress we opted to obey this rule: thoughtful for birthday, useful for Christmas.
Below are some ideas I’ve been toying with…
{1. Planet Earth, the perfect winter series from the Discovery Channel. 2. Decadent chocolates from Galler. 3. Western Digital 500gb hard drive. 4. Shure headset 5. Barnaby leather messenger bag by Mulberry. 6. Canon EOS-1D Mark IV (I want this one for myself!) 7. A case of wine, Organized Crime from the Niagara region is amazing. 8. Art rental, from one month to a year. Check your local art gallery for more details. 9. Rare scotch by The Balvenie. 10. Concert poster, gigposters.com 11. Faces bar tool set via Williams Sonoma. 12. Kiehl’s ultimate man’s collection. 13. Harmonica. 14. Itunes gift card. 15. Cashmere sweater, Club Monaco. 16. GQ subscription.}
