All I Want for Christmas .... Gifts for your Guy

My fabulous best friend (and future daily cup of couture contributor) gave me some amazing ideas for christmas gifts for the man in your life....

Want to capture the perfect moment with your guy? :)

Now he can take four photos of you at once, with this amazing LOMO camera from Fred Flare. This camera is sure to be lots of fun for both of you and even better.... its only $35!

This hilarious book by Walker Lamond, "Rules for My Unborn Son" is something every man of all ages could use. Lamond describes his intentions of this book are to teach men to be, "thoughtful, adventurous, honest, hardworking, self-reliant, well-dressed, well-read, well-mannered young gentleman".... who doesn't want one of those? :)

Happy Shopping!

All I Want for Christmas .... Stocking Stuffers

To continue with my "All I Want for Christmas" gift guide series here are some adorable and afordable stocking stuffers....

Give someone the perfect gift and ultimate compliment with this new book I am in love with "I love your Style", written by Vogue contributor Amanda Brooks.

Here's a little something to spice up her family game night... who can resist these adorable playing cards from Tiffany's for only $30? I know I can't!

And to polish it all off ... give her the nail polish you already know she loves from Essie. And for only $8 you can give her some of my favorite colors like "Sugar Daddy" and "Mademoiselle".

Singing in the Rain...

Unfortunately, theres a huge rainstorm coming tomorrow

although i must admit... i do love any excuse to wear my Hunter wellies!

Color Me Candy Cane.....

Today I made Peppermint Bark, one of my favorite things to do during the holidays. While making this delicious treat, I realized that I not only love the peppermint taste of candy canes, but the festive look of red and white throughout the holiday season....

All I Want for Christmas.... Monogram Madness

Now that Christmas is just around the corner I have decided to start my very own gift guide. Every few days I will put together a tight collection of gifts I would love to both give and receive this year.

For my very first post in the "All I Want for Christmas" series I thought I would include a perfect touch to make a gift particularly personal.... monograms :)

If you thought carrying Louis Vuitton luggage was enough to travel with style ...think again.

The famed fashion house once again provides you with the option to personalize your bags with it's painting technique (the monogram option is a personal favorite of mine). With this gift you or your loved ones will never have trouble spotting your bag at the baggage claim again!

Having trouble finding an adequate gift for the hostess who has everything?
Well I have got the most adorable gift for you!

I have just recently fallen in love with the site IOMOI , where you can get everything from salt and pepper shakers to stationary personalized in fresh print and patterns. My newest obsession is their Lucite trays, which are perfect everywhere in your home from your desk to your ottoman. For only $100 you can make your own!

Lastly, these gorgeous candle holders from Pottery Barn are only $38.00, but make any room shine like a million bucks! How can anyone possibly resist?

Happy Shopping!

Off to LA.......

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

It's Tulle Time.....

I must admit that I absolutely adore tulle this time of year.....
whether you are using it to wrap your gifts or your self,
tulle is the perfect look for the holiday season.

This second dress from Marchesa's Fall 2009 collection is a stunning example of a way to incorporate this look into your holiday party wardrobe.
