Holiday Dress Inspiration #2
>> Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Say hello to this lovely little dress. If you're looking for justification, look at this dress, it's fabulous! If you need something more concrete then, this dress can definitely be worn beyond the Holidays, just imagine how perfect it would be at a few other parties you may have planned in the future
'Tis The Season (part two)
Fortunately there were too much Holiday goodness to share that I just couldn't limit it to one post. We've got more holiday decor inspiration. We did all of talking in the first part of this series so on to photo inspiration.
Holiday decor doesn't have to be limited to traditional motifs, so if you want to add a twist to those traditions these items are for you.
I love love love these Bottle Brush Trees. Its a perfect mix of modern and tradition.
Looking for a stylish yet unexpected table centerpiece then check out this Christmas Tree Taper Candle Holder.
If you're looking for a more seasonal decorative motif snowflakes always work expecially these Antiqued Glass Snowflake Candle holders.
Need more table decor inspiration think of these Twig Reindeer.
The two holiday post shared by Pretty Little Things is only the start of the inspiration. There are plenty of my favorite blogs who are featuring wonderful holiday decor inspiration so check them out and visit Pretty Little Things for more Holiday goodness.

Last Minute Shopper?
>> Tuesday, December 23, 2008
No matter how good your list making skills are, someone is always bound to be left off the list. Don't worry, there's no need to scramble, there are plenty of goodies left to give to anyone on your list.
1. Edible Treats
Yes, plenty of stores have delectable treats perfect to give to co-workers, the hostess of your holiday soiree or anyone else who is swayed by all things sweet. Try these or these.
2.Keeping Warm
Who can turn down great clothing deals? Well tis the season for some great holiday deals. While it may be last minute, you'll definitely save plenty of money (maybe enough for you to find a few deals for your self--don't worry it will be our little secret.) Find something like this or this maybe even this for him.
3. For the Home
Sometimes the best gifts are ones that make the home lovely and if you ask me, they're always easy to find when your running around last minute. One pick is room diffusers like these. 
You really can't go wrong with a lovely vase, but instead of the traditional style look for one with texture like this one 
Whatever you choose your last minute gifts can look as if they've been on your list the whole time.
Holiday Baker
>> Friday, December 19, 2008
Doesn't this cookie press make you want to tap that inner baker and get yourself knee deep in sugar, flower and sprinkles and make some cookies? If not get it for the person who loves baking and maybe they will get inspired and all you have to do is be the taste tester.
All You Need is Love
>> Friday, February 8, 2008
I love the concept behind Civilities by Greer Chicago. The cards are designed to be given to others in hopes that they pass them on to someone else. The valentine inspired "civilities" allow you to spread the love and and ask others to pass it along. Go ahead and make someones day with a unexpected love note and then ask them to do the same.

Words of Love
>> Wednesday, February 6, 2008
Express your love for your sweetie with a poem from this collection of love poems by Pablo Neruda. I spotted this at one of my favorite local stores Paper Skyscraper and just swooned over its loveliness. Find a card or make a card and fill the inside with Neruda's lovely words and your valentine will feel truly romanced by love. {if you need chocolate go ahead and throw it in but the words are really enough}
Happy Holidays Everyone
>> Monday, December 24, 2007

Last Minute Gifts
>> Wednesday, December 19, 2007
Looking for things to stuff into stockings or little last minute gifts for those who you missed when you checked your list (twice of course). Here are a few little things perfect for stockings and quick last minute gifts if you dare enduring the mall.
I love the Leather Magic Wallett from J.Crew. Its perfect to stuff in smaller purses when going out or just to hold all your cards and cash for easy access.
A stylish keychain like this one can become a valued asset if you're looking for another place to house extra keys or just upgrade your key chain.
Sure this satin/cashmere eye mask may not be your thing, but could be perfect for friends who travel often and need something that can allow them to catch much needed Zzzz's on the plane.
Give him a great leather card case that gives him easy access to his business card and for storing others.
You can't go wrong with things that smell good like these candles or a beauty kit like this
Ooo Pretty
>> Tuesday, December 18, 2007
Can you imagine these as part of the wedding decor, or to light a pathway to a reception or just to showcase over the holidays. All of them are wonderful and ideas abound.

One bite of these decadent truffles and you will have a slew of new BFF's. Oh and don't forget to save some for yourself!

Holiday Angel
>> Wednesday, December 5, 2007
My mother loves Angels and during Christmas despite all the other holiday decor that fills the house, Angles are on display. These Bamboula Angel Ornaments would be perfect for her collection. If you are looking for a simple yet stylish gift or a lovely ornament to give for a tree trimming party these would be perfect or just perfect for you.
Need a Holiday Shoe?
>> Tuesday, December 4, 2007
About a week ago, This is Glamorous, did a lovely post that talked about this shoe. 
I love this shoe and was I was inspired to look for other holiday shoes, and my discovery lead me to these...
Bella Peep Toe Platform 
When it comes to a formal function, I love a D'Orsay Heel paired with a flirty skirt. These Daniela Satin D'Orsay will make a statement at the holiday party.
If you're looking for a black shoe that is not so basic these Claudia Cituti Lora Wishbone Sandal will look anything but basic on your feet. These will work too.
If your holiday outfit require a little shimmer or sparkle, this Jessica Simpson, Justine Metallic Slingback will be perfect or you can try this or this too.{or something like it}

Isn't this a lovely wreath. It's stylish and decadent, but when it comes to Holiday Wreaths, finding the right one is all about finding what represents your style.

I thought these Scented Gumdrop Soap (set of 6) were adorable and a fun decorative element for the holidays. Sure it's a novelty but these soaps will be something friends and family will enjoy seeing in your bathroom over the holidays. {oh and they're vanilla scented too}
