Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! And what better way to recover from our food comas than with some online shopping. Men are notoriously hard to shop for, so I'm taking advantage of all the deals this weekend to find gifts for the guys, and rounding up some of my best finds here. If you haven't covered your gift list yet, now's the time! ONE // This season is all about staying cozy! This waffle knit bathrobe is a soft cotton blend and under $25! TWO// How fun is this vin

Although it feels like it was just summer last week, the holiday season is just around the corner! Since I tend to stack my plate full of projects and ideas (like attempting the One Room Challenge while 9 months pregnant??) I decided to keep things simple this year by sharing the products that have either been tried and true in our own home, or are items that I would love to gift or receive myself. I find that a thoughtful and useful gift goes a long way, especially when it's

Whether you're kicking holiday shopping into high gear this week or recovering from a week of Chanukah festivities and looking to spend all the gelt you received, these finds are sure to please even the toughest giftee. Some of the gifts I love giving most are things I know the recipient will appreciate but wouldn't necessarily buy for themselves. Best of all, all these gifts come super fast thanks to Amazon Prime delivery. All the links are below, happy shopping! 1. Hand wov

The other day I was checking out at a grocery store and the cashier asked me if I'm all ready for Sunday. I was like, "what's Sunday?" In my defense, I keep thinking Chanukah begins on Tuesday because that's when we booked our flights to LA for a week of holiday fam time. Needless to say, time is seriously running out so I've decided to push the metal to the pedal (are we still saying that?) and post not one but TWO gift guides this week! Men are notoriously hard to find gift

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! We have so much to be grateful for, especially now that we are more or less settled in our new home. It was so nice to have my family over, but the week flew by so quickly! Luckily, we'll be in LA in a couple of weeks for Chanukah, but more on that later. Since we are in the midst of the biggest deals of the year, I wanted to share my favorite gift ideas for the special ladies in our lives. Without further ado... 1. If your feet

It's already mid November, and Thanksgiving is almost upon us! We have had so many changes recently with moving to a new state, starting a new school, and just changing up our routine in general -- thankfully, it's all good changes! As I'm writing this, my family is en route to us, they're visiting the new house for the first time and I'm so excited to host them! This will also be our first year hosting Thanksgiving, so wish me luck :) In truth though, it will be quite small

I've been meaning to do a Mother's Day gift guide and just came to the realization that Mother's Day is this Sunday!! Lately, my schedule has been a whirlwind of travel up and down the California coast (Long Beach, San Francisco, and San Clemente all in one week!), and various design events sprinkled in between. And while I'm super grateful that I'm being kept busy doing what I love best, I've been feeling that all-too-familiar sensation of mom guilt for neglecting my other b

Whether you're showing yourself, your gal pals, or that someone special some extra love, everyone loves to get pampered once in a while. For me, romance automatically denotes all things vintage, straight from the pages of a Hemingway or Fitzgerald novel. There's something so nostalgic about the decadence, glamour, and chivalry of a bygone era, don't you agree? (Although I'm not one to pass on take-out Chinese on the sofa either!) And if you've been following me on Instagram,

I really love putting these guides together, and each item is something I truly love. But this list is. the. ultimate. These are the super luxe gifts that I would personally gift or would love to receive. It was definitely a challenge to narrow this list down, but I've rounded up my favorite seven gifts from around the web. Enjoy! 1. How amazing is this acrylic chess set? I love how the mod look acts as a design statement on its own! 2. A monogram is the ultimate personalized

There is no price too high for this person, their love of llamas knows no bounds. Whether it's a childhood bestie, sibling, cousin, or someone you've been wanting to impress with your shared love for the cozy and whimsical creature, the llama lover's gift guide is for you. 1. This Llama crossbody is so chic and subtle, you really have to do a double take to realize it's a llama. I can see it styled with an oversized chunky knit sweater and a favorite denim. 2. I'm all about t

I think kids gifts are my favorite, and there are soo many amazing shops I love for children. I love supporting small when I can, and the holidays is the perfect opportunity (although turn-around times do tend to be longer than usual, but it's so worth it!). I love well-crafted pieces that don't feel junky and encourage creativity or have some special meaning. Here are some of my absolute favorites this season: 1. I love pretty much anything Briar Handmade makes, but the pom

I loved putting together this gift guide, and I want everything on here!! I love finding that special something that is personalized and useful, that really brings a smile to their face when they unwrap it! Whether you're looking for a gift for a family member, loved one, co-worker, or yourself this list has you covered. 1. I love a good scrub, and seriously the fact that it comes with the little wooden spoon makes it thaaat much better! I also find that a sugar scrub is much
