Get Carried Away



Love this glass cups & carrier set from Wisteria for a clean, modest centerpiece idea. A coupla stems & you're set!

Go Bold or Go Home


Already own these GAP tights in neutrals (brown & gray actually), but now I want this gorgeous vivid teal pair to combat the dreariness of winter.

Baby, it's cold outside...

so button up please!



Aren't these just the cutest?! I am kicking myself for not posting these soon enough for holiday ordering & shipping (the cut off was December 15th... oops!). I'll be pinning some of these cuties (can't specify which items I snatched up until after the holidays) onto stockings, gift tags, & bows -- a personalized touch for each recipient. Stock up in advance for birthdays, anniversaries, next holiday season, & for just because surprises (even if it's just because you want it for yourself)!




All artwork is hand drawn by my crazy creative (& extremely modest) co-worker, Missy Kulik. Check out more of her work here in order to further delve into her insanely wondrous imagination; plus keep up with her latest goings on here


OK, now that you're hooked -- go get your own handmade goodies in her shop.

A Little Gift-ssistance

No particular order, just hopin' a few of these items find their way under my tree this year.

1 :: GAP Cableknit Beanie (in heather gray please)
2 :: 500 Days of Summer DVD (love this movie & this soundtrack is awesome
3 :: ANTHROPOLOGIE Magic Number Pot (wanting a couple of these for my work cube)
 4 :: IKEA Sveje Runner (not available online, ugh!)
5 :: GARMIN nĂ¼vi 260W Portable GPS Navigator (zero sense of direction -- a true weakness of mine)
6 :: Stella McCartney STELLANUDE Gift Set
 7 :: BANANA REPUBLIC Glam Leaf Hair Clip
 8 :: GAP Wool-Blend Duffle Bag (to tote all of my pressies)


Don't worry, I'll keep the ideas comin' (ahhhh! only 16 more days!) They started playing holiday music at the office today which makes it seem more official. We'll be both getting our family tree this weekend & putting up our lights. Cannot wait.

Just Because I Do


Christmas came early for my fiance when I gifted these posters to him right before I left for my overseas trip. We won't be living together until after the wedding, but these beauties will be the first pieces of artwork to go on the walls of our place. Know someone who just moved? Any of the work at Poster Cabaret would make an excellent gift this year.


My favorite favorite of all time is this Milton Glaser masterpiece found in my mom's record collection. Actually this may be the first piece getting wall time.

Endless love for this poster.

Spoiler Alert: White Elephant Gift



Please don't tell anyone, but this is my under $10 White Elephant Gift for my first holiday party this weekend. Thank you, Urban Outfitters for making this decision an easy one. Wish I had seen this fuzzy version last week (maybe it will end up on my own tree)!
