UGG Classic

I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of UGG's but I'm a fan of the 'Cardy' Classic Knit Boot UGG, I would love a pair of these to wear to my workout class.  How perfect!  They look so comfy and cozy.  These rib-knit boots can be worn slouched down, folded over or all the way up and you can find them at Nordstrom.  Perfect!  Happy Cozy Wednesday!

Olivia Palermo's Style...

Okay, so I'm just a little obsessed with her style!  Loving all her new looks, these would all be perfect for this winter...just add some black opaque tights!

I can't get enough of their fabulous style!  Kim and Kourtney just opened their new Boutique in New York city, Dash.  I love their over the top dramatic style.  If I could pull this look off in Seattle, I would be all over it!  Happy Monday!

Address Stamps

Look what I spotted over on The Wife, these Paperwink Rubber Stamps are adorable and such a great price!  You could get a handful for some fun personalized gifts.  I would be over the moon to get one of these in my stocking.  Happy Weekend!

Apprentice & The 425

This is a fun post for me to have the chance to highlight two of my friends.  Here is a sneak peak from a photo shoot with Kendra Todd for the 425 Magazine.   My best friends future sister in law Erin, was the stylist for this shoot from one of our favorite boutiques, Derek Andrew.  Good work Erin!  I thought these were fabulous pictures!  Kendra Todd won The Apprentice in it's 3rd season and went on to work for Donald Trump to oversee the progress at Palm Beach Mansion at Palm Beach, Florida, rather than oversee the production of the next Miss Universe Pageant...good choice girl!  She is truly beautiful inside and out.  Happy Thursday!

Sneak Peak: J.Crew

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful way to start my morning.  I'm going to be dreaming about these shorts from J.Crew's Spring 2011 collection all day that I spotted over on Coco + Kelley.  I must have these!  Spring hurry up already...

How To Be A Lady

I've been talking about wanting to do an etiquette class for months so this was just perfect that I spotted this book over on The Wife Blog...

I always ask myself, "did I say that correctly"...I think it's time I buy this book from Brooks Brothers.  This book will give you the knowledge you need to maneuver any dining situation, from a casual meal to a seven-course dinner, how to set a table, how to pronounce more than 100 different food names, and how to eat more than 25 foods that are challenging to eat gracefully.  What a perfect gift for a wedding shower!

Vintage Flowers

What a darling way to display flowers using vintage canisters.  Martha Stewart you're the best!  Happy Monday!

J.Crew Must Have

I'm buying this from J.Crew today and I think you need one too.  How perfect going into the Holiday season...you could throw this on for a cocktail party with your black  Theory pants or with your skinny jeans and a faux fur vest just for a casual night out.  I adore!!  It comes in gold and black too!!

Kardashian Fashion

These girls always look so fabulous and after reading Kim's blog I'm daydreaming wishing I could look as glamorous as them.  Look how cute Mason is in his little pin stripe suit, adorable!  I'm loving how Kourtney tucked her leggings into her shoes...what a great look!  And if you're digging Kim's outfit she is wearing a black Robert Rodriguez furry vest with LNA leggings, Alexander Wang black t-shirt and Lanvin thigh high leather boots.  Happy Glamorous Thursday!!

Living On Top Of The World

I've always wanted to see inside the apartment at the top of the Seattle Smith Tower and most importantly who takes the 35 story elevator ride everyday.  Sure enough it's a young family that dwells in the 1,750 square foot, 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment.  Here's a sneak peak...

Handbags I'm Loving...

I’m on the hunt for a new handbag and it's always so disappointing that I can't just run out and buy myself a Gucci.  So the key with getting a great handbag is finding something that looks more expensive than it really is.  These are great handbags from Nordstrom for $60 dollars, what a deal!  Happy Monday!

Wine Personalized

This idea is fantastic!!  This is perfect for a smaller wedding, dinner party or a shower.  Replace a place card with a wine glass and then your guests can take it home as a party favor.  I found these over on Every Last Detail and thought it was a darling idea.  How to:  find inexpensive wine glasses, put on some chalkboard paint and add your guests names!   Happy Friday! 

Vince Sequin

This Vince Sequin Sweater that I spotted over on Coco + Kelley is to die for.  I'm so in love and think it would  be just perfect for New Years and the holidays...Dear Santa, please bring me this sequin sweater for Christmas.  Happy Wednesday!!

Pashima Style

You know all the years I've been wearing pashminas I never found the perfect way to tie the darn thing until today...my friend Jill who has a fabulous blog:  Good Life For Less, ties her pashmina just perfect.  I love this! She wrapped it around her neck once and then brings it together at the bottom in a soft knot.  Perfection! Way to go Jill!

DIY: Custom Roller Shades

Most people leave dressing up their windows with window treatments for the very last project because they are just so expensive.  I found a fun solution. You can make these classy monogram shades for under $50.  Add a graphic stenciled design and you have a custom window treatment that’s low on cost and high on style.  I found this fun project on Chapman Interior & Southern Living.  Enjoy!
