Clutch Hitters: R29 Reserve x Clare Vivier Limited-Edition Clutches

12 Dec

The style mavens at Refinery 29 scored a major home run when they collaborated on these limited-edition R29 Reserve + Clare Vivier clutches.

I love me some leopard, but the neon pink stripe clutch is my favorite–it’s the perfect combo of timelessness and trendiness.

These clutches would be fantastic gifts for any fashionistas in your life (including yourself), but you better snag ‘em quick–December 19th is the last day to order these babies online.

Must. Buy. Now.

Stitch In Time: Penguin Threads Classic Book Series

6 Dec

Last holiday season, literature lovers (present company included) went crazy for Penguin Books‘ series of delux hardcover classics. (A hardcover, hot pink flamingo-embossed edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland? Yes, please!)

This season, there’s bound to be another frenzy over Penguin’s newest publishing project: Penguin Threads, special editions of three beloved children’s tales–The Secret Garden, Emma, and Black Beauty–featuring cover art sketched by illustrator Jillian Tamaki then hand-stitched (yes, with a needle and thread) and sculpt embossed for texture.



These page-turners are sure to please all the book worms on your holiday shopping list, and they’d be great gifts for home decor fans, too–woudn’t they be pretty displayed on a book shelf or bedside table? Yes and yes.

Peppermint Julep, Please

6 Dec

I’m a big fan of mint juleps. Not a big fan of their calories and sugar. Forgo the cocktail this holiday season for this delightful peppermint julep floral arrangement from Olive & Cocoa.

A silver-tone julep cup is filled to the brim with pink and red roses, safari sunset, and burgundy magnolia leaves. So pretty you may want a second round.

Calories and Carbs

29 Nov

Give the gift of calories and carbs this holiday season… How cheeky and cute (not to mention scrumptious-looking) are these Calories and Carbs canister gift sets from Jonathan Adler?

Each canister comes in a set of two. The Carbs canister contains Dancing Deer Triple Chocolate Cookies, while the Calories canister contains Jacques Torres Caramel Chocolate Popcorn. Um, YUM. Bring on the Calories.
