When I refer to the women in your life, I am meaning those dear to your heart, in addition to your significant other – such as your mother, daughter(s), and sister(s) whom you feel close enough to gift something uniquely wonderful. The Alex and Ani collection bracelets. Here’s some ideas and more options:
Every year in my family, we include a unique holiday ornament as part of the gift exchange. I sort of love the idea and the hunt for finding just the right one for each person. Here’s a list of where I’m at with this year’s elegant and semi-formal theme:
Last weekend I decided to do some actual mall shopping rather than a few online ones. The hubs and I made a day of it, with our dog in tow, we drove to Stanford Shopping Center to (really check out the new wing plus renovations the mall had undergone in the last year plus) aaaand to do “shopping.” What stood out for me was the two story Anthropologie store that opened, not sure exactly what day, but it was packed more so than any store and here’s the reasons why:
You can tell what’s on my mind lately. Alcohol…err…I mean alcohol infused desserts for New Year’s Eve get together, or a holiday birthday for someone special – in my case my hubs. So, while on a quest to find something unique I could bake him, or even bring with to a gathering with friends, I found this winning recipe.
This weekend as normal I will be roaming the malls, and checking out the best of the best sales, including these beauties from here:
I love shopping with the hubs. He is really good at it. Meaning to say, he is patient enough to walk through the stores and while I check out items for myself – he disappears to the men’s section. I think what I also love is seeing his face light up when he wants to show me what he’s found – providing that I approve 🙂 naturally. So, the fact we share the same taste in clothes – I laugh – I think this year it will be easy to shop for him. Kinda like most years. Anyway, here it is: Considering he looks amazing in a hat of any sort, and scarf just because, I picked from here The sweaters had to come from his favorite store here: Colognes I go here Jeans and more jeans – from here: And my favorite – boots – ankle and all – from here:
I don’t believe that a woman could have too many sweaters. I think sweaters are the everyday comfort wear – even in a professional setting. One just needs to dress it up. So, for this year’s gift idea or even a birthday which falls in the winter months consider this:
Although the weather is most unpredictable – one day warm, the next rainy all in between a heatwave here and there. I have made my list of shopping to do this weekend and Madewell is on top of my list – in person in an actual store I cannot wait to:
Camel coats my all-time favorite – something about this beauty I cannot get out of my head every fall-autumn when I search online and the stores for that perfect variation of the Camel coat. So, here a list of 13 camel coat recommends and my pick for 2016:
Very carefully I plotted a list of purchases I wanted to make from some of my favorite stores in San Francisco. First Stop: Banana Republic I stocked up on sweaters Second: Bloomingdale’s for ankle boots. Searching for camel tone, ended up falling involve with these Third: Wish list for a new coat or two or three from Nordstrom We’ll talk gifts for family and friends later. I need a tall cup of coffee and a slice of lemon cake from Starbucks. 🙂
