cute photo site {pinhole press}

I came across Pinhole Press in blog land recently and was immediately taken with their simple and pretty designs. They make really cute personalized calendars, cards, photo books and more. I especially love their notepads:

mini gift guide for her

A few of my favorite things at the moment...

j.crew cashmere zip henley

hue: limited edition

gold druzy triangle stud earrings

(as seen via EOS)

adler zig zag throw

vintage brass elephant from high street market

obsessing over...

dolce & gabbana's jewel lip color compact, which is available exclusively at saks. this is such a great gift idea for the holidays not only for its beautiful encasing, but also because the four lip colors it contains are perfect for jazzing up any winter oufit.

on my wishlist

i will admit that i'm one of those people who has to pick an outfit the night before rather than the morning of work. if i don't, i end up frazzled and wearing something equivalent to a sweatsuit to work which probably isn't too appropriate. when i saw this on instyle, i was so excited because it would be so nice to have these tags on the outfits i've planned rather than hanging them on a nail in the wall that i've designated as the "outfit hanger".

i heart emerson made

These clutches from emerson made are BEYOND fabulous... I adore everything they make.

if I were a momma...

I'd be thrilled to receive this beautiful Kate Spade tote bag for Mother's Day!

fun things {paper source}

Lots of fun things at Paper Source other than pretty paper. I especially love these 'bling' magnets... they will definitely be finding a place on my fridge.

{these are sticker frames - great if you don't want to damage your walls!}

I have someone in mind for these beautiful butterflies :)

chic eco-wrapping

Christmas is over (sad face) but I love this as wrapping inspiration for next year! Can be easily done with recycled paper, garden twine and twigs/cones found around the yard.

domino nostalgia

Was flipping through Domino's 2008 gift guide (a year later) and of course loved everything... especially this tartan cape. How super cute would this be with skinny jeans and a great pair of boots for the holidays????

holiday gift ideas

i'm always thinking of chic gift ideas, most of which i most likely cannot afford, that i can give to loved ones for the holidays or any other special occasion. smythson makes the most beautiful leather goods and personalized stationery and i could literally spend hours on their website.
