Tis The Season Necklace from Modern Trinkets


17 days until Christmas! Item #8.

I usually am not in favor of wearing Christmas accessories because I think it can look tacky sometimes but this one looks really classy I think! I love the pinecone charm and the red/white candy-like glass lampwork bead! Beautiful!

Elizabeth Dot Dress from Theory


Cute strapless dress made from silk habotai.  This dress is one size fits "most" so there is no need to worry about your size selling out!  Saks just so happens to pair it with Jimmy Choo shoes.. which are more expensive than the dress itself.

Roomwear Polka Dot Poncho from Afternoon Tea


Meg and I were talking about how awesome it would be if we got ourselves some matching friendship ponchos. So, I really did start looking for ponchos. I realize that most ponchos are hideous. Then, I came across this one. Anything with polka dots in it win in my book. Besides this is one where they specifically say it's for indoors so you don't really embarrass yourself in public. Although, Meg and I would probably wear this outside. Looks comfortable! Wow, it's expensive for an indoor poncho. Meg, you can buy your own, and if you can please buy mine too.

Multibubble Scarf from By Clarice Handmade


I've been known to do a little bit of crocheting, but my skills are pretty basic.  (To be honest, the puff stitch totally destroyed my confidence.)  At any rate, I was simply fascinated and impressed by this scarf on Etsy.  The designer created the stitch, naming it "bubble" and it is one of a kind.

Striped Cotton Dress from Tulle


I really like the frill details on this dress. Yes it is a spring dress, but it's on sale now! You can buy it now and then take it out in the spring when the sun is back out!

Metallic Wool Ballet Shoes from J.Crew


I always mean to get into the habit of wearing slippers.  These cute wool ballet slippers might just do the trick.  Made in three colors, it has never looked so good to be cozy!

Holly Knit Teapot Cozy from Handy Little Me


19 days until Christmas! Item #6.

You know, I've never seen a teapot cozy until last year when I went to have tea at this old-style tea shop with my parents. I thought they were the cutest things ever. Of course, the ones at the tea shop were just normal ones, nothing compared to this one here!

When you invite guests over to your house for the holidays, you're going to need this to keep the tea warm for your guests and to keep them talking about how you have the coolest tea pot cozy ever!
@ Handy Little Me ($41 US)

Lace Long-Sleeve Dress from Diane von Furstenberg



Isn't the silver embroidery on this dress just beautiful?  While I'm not the type to wear things that are on the short side, I would definitely make an exception here!

Party Blouse from Franche Lippee


Japanese people think of the cutest names to call their products. This here is the "party blouse". Not sure what kind of party this blouse is for, perhaps a cute party! ...sorry, that was kind of lame haha.The blouse has a mixture of elements on it, including fruits, crackers and candles. I noticed the things I was posting were all kind of dreary (by that I mean, mostly gray tones, and soft colors which is what I like) so I thought to post something much 'happier', take your mind off winter for a bit.

I love the colors and the details on this blouse, it's so cute.

Water Nymph Floral Clip from the Honeycomb


Whenever I am looking for accessories, I always try to find things that really stand out so my outfit can go from bland to amazing.  This gorgeous floral hairclip from the Honeycomb would be sure to do the trick!  Made from pinecone rose and ivory flowers, it truly would be like "wearing art in your hair."

Fir Boy and Ginger Girl Christmas Cards from The Black Apple

Waist Ribbon Bubble Skirt from Par Avion


I love balloon skirts! They're so light and playful! This one is particularly cute because it has a polka-dotted bow at the waist. It gets points from me by being a balloon skirt, more points for being polka-dotted, and of course even more points for having a bow. It's not everyday where you see all your favorite elements roll into one!
