Gift Guide 2012: Books!

Tuesday, December 4th, 2012

Books are SUCH great gifts (unless you try to give them to my Dad who inevitably has already bought the exact one you have wrapped up).  There are quite a few books I’m keen to get this year, and here are some of my favorites!

Row 1: It’s currently on back-order but I really hope I can snag a copy of the new Miles Redd book- THE decorating book of the season// The much talked about Kate Moss book (she of flawless style) // Grace Coddington’s memoir, I know it’s on every gift guide this year but I really want to read this one! Plus she posted on Facebook once that she liked my blog, which almost gave me a stroke.

Row 2: For the girl obsessed with clothes- Style Book// For the blog reading chef-What Katie Ate// For the girl obsessed with Paris (ME!)

Row 3: For the fella in your life- The Art of Fixing Things- hey, it’ll help get things done around the house// For the bride to be-Vogue Weddings, Brides, Dresses, Designers // For the kids, the new Dave Egger’s version of Where the Wild Things Are with the coolest cover ever!

Row 4: I read this recently and it haunted me for days, it’s so good (but sad)- A Light Between Oceans// Would love this Claiborne Swanson book for my (new) coffee table- American Beauty// This is next up on Andrew’s reading list- Thomas Jefferson- The Art of Power.

Row 5:  For little designers to be-Draw Me A House/  For Audrey addicts, Audrey Hepburn Photographs/ For the stylish Francophile- Parisian Chic (* I want this one too)

Gift Guide 2012: For Her

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

Of course I would never forget us ladies! A few more gift guides to come including books, stocking stuffers, holiday beauty and my wish list for this year! But onto the laaaaaaaaaaaadies….

1. I really love (and want) a special, applique monogram jewelry case or makeup case from Monogram Goods for traveling.  So lovely and proper.

2. The bracelet we all want if we haven’t got it already. ( I finally broke down and bought it and wear it constantly)

3. I cannot get enough of faux fur in the winter- this snood is adorable, a great color and will go with any of her coats and sweaters.

4. How fabulous are the nail polishes from Ciate.  I love the little bows on the bottles- get a grouping of colors, I personally am liking the coral, burgundy, gold and deep navy.

5. The Sartorialist’s new book to inspire the fashionable friend.

6. I love these chunky gemstone studs from Loren Hope.

7. I don’t think I’ve met a girl who doesn’t like a good striped shirt, so gift this sweater version in navy and white or camel and pink to get on her really good side.

8. Leopard gloves. Love ‘em. Want ‘em. Awesome gift to spice up boring winter get-ups.

9. Chevron + elephants= HAPPY TIMES. This C Wonder trinket tray is a fab under $50 choice.

10. The beach-going gal would love a couple of these bright Pendelton beach towels.

11. A RYAN GOSLING COLORING BOOK. Do I need to say anything else?

12. Another “if she doesn’t have it she wants it” gift- the Clarisonic. I love mine. Andrew secretly loves mine too. (Not so secret anymore!)

13. I saw these awesome leather minaudieres and fell hard for them. So ladylike and totally glam. IN lots of colors and a calf hair version too.
