Feeling very lucky!
How was everyone’s holiday? Did you get all you wished for and more? As you can see below, I made out like a bandit, didn’t I?
J.Crew Jackie cardigan & classic striped button-down
Actually picked up a few blouses and light sweaters with a gift card!
Chloé eau de parfum
Got it!
DVF iPad case in “Raining Diamonds”
Decided on this cover; love the zip, the tassel, and the pockets!
Coach black leather turnlock wallet
A classic, with lots of slots
Vogue, The Covers
A visual historical record, not to be missed
Bauble Bar gold pave studs
Ahem, a little gift for myself…
Guerlain Vol de Nuit powder
Shimmery, makes me feel pretty!
Parisian Chic: A Style Guide by Ines de la Fressange
Seriously, my new obsession. Highly recommend!
DeLonghi 10-cup coffee maker
Perfect for entertaining (unlike the popular single-cup styles)
Slate cheese board
I was shocked to discover we did not have a cheese board. Gasp!
Jonathan Adler Futura salt & pepper shakers
White plus gold = me, happy.
One of the best gifts I got?
A double-compartment trash bin for trash and recycling. A necessity!
I still have a few gift cards to use! Considering a larger purchase like a black handbag, perhaps the Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Groovee Satchel…thoughts? Other reco’s for me?
And thank you ALL for your two cents about my New Year’s Eve outfit dilemma! After all that, the hostess decided to wear jeans, so no dress for me (although #2 was the contender!). But I kept it stylish with a nude silk blouse, black pants, black sandals, my fur vest, and lots of pearls…and was quite comfortable. ;o)
