It’s been a busy last few weeks, including trips to Disneyland, Palm Desert, LA, and Vegas; lots of quality time with fam and friends; and a very sparkly birthday, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. Check out my fave pics from the holiday season after the jump. Happy 2011! (more…)
A few Christmases ago I bought a miniature silver tinsel tree, decorated it with multicolored ball ornaments, and used it to add some festive cheer to my office desk. Ever since then I’ve brought it work during the holiday season, and it never fails to brighten my day. UO still carries the exact same ornaments, and the store also carries some tiny tinsel trees if you’d like to re-create the look and/or buy the combo for a coworker or holiday gift exchange. (I bought my tree at Borders bookstore, so check there, too!)
My love for multicolored glitter started with Lisa Frank school supplies and stickers, and has lingered ever since. In honor of my Sagittarius birthday coming up, here’s a roundup of party ready, rainbow-sparkle-adorned gift ideas.
Confetti System party decor, Dean & DeLuca Rainbow Sanding Sugar ($6), Kate Spade Be Dazzled Bobby Pins ($65), Deborah Lippmann Nail Color ($18), Kate Spade Charm Heel ($325), Jonathan Adler Sagittarius Zodiac Pillow ($98), Anya Hindmarch Valorite Glitter Clutch ($395)

As an overachieving, perfectionist child, I was easily motivated by teacher rewards such as gold stars — well, not much has changed! I’m still all about the glittery fun of gold stars, but now I prefer them on dainty jewelry or sparkly accessories (or Chloé sunglasses!). With my upcoming birthday and Christmas around the corner, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite gold-star-inspired gifts for a lucky gal pal this holiday season.
Gold Star Edible Glitter ($6), Nada Bag Charm ($198), Shooting Stars Cuff ($160), Beaded Clutch ($19), Small Star Stud Earring ($35), A Gold Star ($6), Chloé sunglasses ($221), Twirl Karolina ($350), Vita Fede Como Star Wrap Double ($63), Birthday Star Necklace ($68), Only Gold For Me Top Coat ($9), Night Tie Front Dress ($370)

Florence Welch, lead singer of Florence and the Machine
This Halloween, I’m looking to some hilarious, creepy, quirky, strong, talented females in pop culture for costume inspiration. Some are big or small screen characters, while some are the real deal — like rockin’ redhead Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine. Read more to see the rest of the gals! (And no Lindsay, Speidi, Snooki, or vampires allowed!) (more…)

This Valentine’s Day we are enjoying a couple unique-to-San Diego activities: the San Diego Symphony and SeaWorld. I’m ashamed to admit that in the six plus years I’ve lived here I have never been to SeaWorld! I can’t wait! We are also attending Valentine’s Day at the Pops, which we really enjoyed last year. It’s a “tribute to music for lovers,” and this year I noticed that a dance company is listed under special artists…so not sure what will entail.
What are you plans for this weekend? If you’re local, will you be enjoying the beautiful 70 degree weather?
My favorite thing of all: spending the holidays with friends and family
Well, 2009 is almost over – hellooooo 2010! It’s been a good year, with plenty of traveling, from Vancouver to Portland to Palm Springs; beautiful weddings full of family and friends, old and new; discovering delicious eateries, near and far; just a modicum of shopping :) ; and quite a bit of blogging. To everyone out there who actually reads this silly little thing, thank you! Here’s to a new year that’s even better than the last. Cin cin!
In lieu of a list of favorites from the past year, I’m just posting my current obsessions, many of which are birthday/Christmas presents I had to share! Check them out, after the jump. (more…)
