early wish list

is it too early to be bookmarking for my christmas wish list?

i don't think so...and these beauties from kate spade are too precious to pass up.

dear santa,
i could definitely use a new pair of chic stud earrings this christmas/birthday (yes my birthday is on christmas day) and these ones would do just the trick. <3

love,
cecelia

lovely lace

ummm...where have i been? these plastic lace baskets are great and apparently they've been around for a while {{goooolly, get it together}} great uses for these baskets include...bike basket, photo scrap bin, file storage, toy storage. how incredibly versatile/pretty/absolutely genius.

p.s. the strap is removable.

fall wishlist

this foggy morning weather has got me constantly thinking  f a l l. after perusing the september issue of lucky last night i've been pondering my fall wardrobe and one thing i took away from the issue was this:

"...when what september is really about, especially as one becomes an adult, is several fresh, standout pieces and a fresh attitude, a fresh way of looking at pulling it all together. great style is about tweaking your look, not completely overhauling everything." - kim france

so i've decided to begin a fall wardrobe wish list of a few key pieces that will do just that. first on my list: a pair of great riding boots and a pair of leather clogs (thanks eden & sam for the recommendation!). this is what i have in mind...thoughts?

1. frye - mellissa button
2. dolce vita - jezabel

gift guide: v-day

i've recently had a few requests for valentine's day gift ideas and stumbling across this ring via a cup of jo inspired me to start searching/posting. how adorable right?

& hearts

i've been wanting a pair of black polka dot tights for quite a while now and i am so excited to have found these cuties from american apparel. this pair has hearts instead of dots just in time for valentine's day! i'm also loving this jersey pocket skirt as well, it looks soooo comfy...

moroccan poufs

poufs are the super stylish alternative to the bean bag. originating in morocco, these ottomans come in a full range of materials and color options including metallic or non-metallic leathers. they're extremely versatile and can be used as seating, foot stools, small tables, or just as beautiful accessories for your space. just one pouf is a lovely touch for your living room or bedroom, but why not go with multiples?? poufs bring out the pink-leather-bean-bag lovin' kid in me, but in a sophisticated adult kind of way...which is why i can't get enough of them.

cozy sheets

for me january is a month of organizing, decluttering and regrouping. its a fresh start and for me that means its a great time to purchase new bedding! i love bedding. seriously, what is sweeter than sliding into a fabulous bed after a long day? especially a long chilly day when you can turn on your heating blanket too! check out these charming colorful options from anthropologie...they are a little pricey, but i can't help myself.

p.s. how amazing is the web design over at anthropologie? i'd kill for a similar blog layout...

LONG TIME, NO BLOG

hello blog friends, its been awhile. unfortunately my laptop is still out of commission so blogging is a rare activity for me these days.

here is an amazing table lamp that can be purchased here at lunaria. i've got this at the top of my wish list...

these hand blown italian glass lamps are stunning. we have the large one on display in the st. helena showroom which is close to 4' tall & i am completely obsessed, it makes such a huge statement.

etsy

i recently came across these amazing linen pillows from shop one eleven on etsy [an amazing site in itself...check it out]. i absolutely love the intricate little details that make these pillows so darn chic and elegant.

ruffles

i love this ruffled bikini top from victoria's secret. i've seen it in a couple of blogs/magazines and i am determined to wear it this summer with little mis-matched bottoms! i think that means its time for me to get serious about exercise...
