I've been lucky enough to stay at some pretty cool hotels over the past few years,
but this one takes the cake.
The atmosphere, decor, food and location make this the best hotel ever!

Reform Gallery.

I want EVERYTHING from the Reform Gallery for our house.
Too bad everything comes with such a hefty price tag!

mamma's got a brand new bag...

I've been on the hunt for a new handbag for a while and today it finally ended!

I purchased this leather pouch cross body bag from Top Shop.
I think it's the perfect bag and it was the perfect price :)

Cardboard Safari.

Cardboard Safari makes cardboard animal trophies, wreaths, gift boxes,

holiday trees and full-body animals.
There products are earth friendly, fun to decorate and can be recycled.
I want the heart wreath for Valentine's Day!

Can't get enough of this song...

...and i've literally been listening to it on repeat all morning.

I'm totally obsessed.
And if you think this is cool check out the whole wedding over at Once Wed, it's BANANAS!

Must have item of the week: Fringe Handbag

Kate Spade, Vivre and Furla Bags.
(i'm secretly hoping that the birthday fairy brings me the furla one next week!)

Trip Highlights, Part 1.

Our first night in Paris we went to Bar Hemingway at The Ritz for pre-dinner cocktails.

It was magical.
With the Christmas decorations, the amazing window displays of the hotel boutiques and the overall charm of the hotel it was like Disney Land for adults.
My Serendipity cocktail was the most expensive drink I've ever had, but worth every penny to experience this amazing place.
I cant wait to go back!

Happy Christmas!

Have a wonderful holiday!

They are both decorative and functional and I think I need them for my house :)

Harrods here I come...

If I needed a reason to visit Harrods while in London

here it is -
The pair of giant red shoes which protrude from the store front
to celebrate their Wicked Witch Of The East display.

Must have item of the week: Over-the-knee boots.

I cant decide if i would love a pair of these or if they would look totally ridiculous on me?
