Happy Monday!  How was your weekend?  We were busy looking at houses {!!!} but were able to find time to do a little Christmas shopping :)  I pulled together some pretty picks for the ladies on your list including my favorite lipgloss, an adorable bucket bag, and the perfect parka {HIGH on my wish list}.  Have you started your Christmas shopping?  Or are you waiting for Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales?  Personally I don't like to brave the crowds, but I do enjoy doing a little shopping on Friday morning from the comfort of my own bed :)

The beginning of November kicks off the official start of my holiday season.  While it may be a little early to listen to Christmas music {guilty!} it's most certainly not too soon to break out some holiday sparkle.  Because the next two months are filled with dinners, concerts, and parties I've pulled together some of my favorite little goodies I'd love to help me ring in this holiday season.  What about you?  Are you already overflowing with holiday spirit?  Or are you trying to savor the last days of autumn?  I'm somewhere in between the two :)

Happy October!  If there's one thing I love about this month {asides from the crisp weather, the vibrant fall foliage, the comfort food, the pumpkin patch...ok the list goes on and on} it's being able to wear sweaters & boots every single day.  A couple of weeks ago I rounded up some of my favorite sweaters for fall, so today I wanted to share with you some great new boots.  Whether you like ankle or over the knee, flat or heeled, cut-out or not, there's something for everyone.  Happy shopping!

Well hello there!  Before I get to today's post I wanted to sincerely thank each and every one of you for the beyond kind messages and advice you gave me yesterday.  I truly missed the blogging community and couldn't wipe the smile off my face all day as I continued to receive such sweet & thoughtful comments.  I've said it before but I'll say it again -- you guys are amazing and are the reason I want to keep up with this little blog.  From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

Although it took me awhile, I am now completely on-board with pre-fall fashion.  Before this week I couldn't even bare to think about cooler weather {thus totally passing on the Nordstrom Anniversary sale...fail}, but one cool day has gotten me very excited about bringing back layers, jewel tones, and luscious silks and cashmeres.  What is it about seasons that perpetually have us looking forward to the next?  However, as much as I love this leather, wool, and shearling bag and am excited to finally try a merlot lip, after the brutal winter we had this past year summer can stay as long as she wants in my book!

It's December and you know what that means?  Gift guides!  Yesterday was dedicated to all things home, and today I have rounded up a boatload of goodies for the ladies on your list.  This time of the year I am drawn to all things festive and feminine -- think lots of sparkles and pops of pastel paired with luxurious neutrals like a cashmere sweater and buttery soft leather gloves -- so the gift guide reflects just that.  I also love this lomography camera, these sunglasses, and these rose gold headphones.  In fact, I think I might have to add a couple of these pretties to my Christmas List!  Happy shopping (:
