Tory Burch.

After spending the weekend in NYC and seeing tons of women in Tory Burch flats, I can't decide if I love them or hate them!? Thoughts??

Crew Mutts!

I just discovered that J.Crew now has clothes + accessories for doggies! The stuff (as well as the puppy) is absolutely adorable, and I think it might just make Lucy's Christmas list!

Cupcake Bakery comes to German Village!

At Bakery Gingham they specialize in creating cupcakes, wedding cakes and other special event cakes with an artistic flair. Their nostalgic and often whimsical styles break tradition to bring "old-school" flavors and unique interpretations to these delicious works of art.


I read about this on Columbus Underground today and nearly jumped up and down with excitement! I'm not exactly sure where it's located in German Village, but it's supposed to be opening before Christmas. You can be certain I will be there as soon as it opens to try it out!

i heart nyc.

Pete and I leave tomorrow for a weekend getaway in New York City. He is giving a speech on Friday and I get to tag along! I will give you a full report of my adventures on Monday... have a wonderful weekend!

my latest obsession...

I'm not sure if they come out with these every Holiday season, or if this is the first time, but regardless these Candy Cane Hershey's kisses are amazing!! You simply MUST try them.

Baby it's cold (and rainy) outside...

and I seriously need a waterproof jacket! Here are a few ideas from J.Crew and Patagonia.

I need a new bag...

I carry around A LOT of stuff. My computer, 2 cell phones, my planner, wallet, keys, gum, chap-stick, anti-bacterial gel and usually an apple in case I get hungry. Therefore as you can imagine, my bag is pretty hefty, and after almost 2 years of carrying the same on everyday I think I'm ready for a new one! Here are my first thoughts from anthropologie.

I'm thankful for...

1. My family -- who despite our madness is the most wonderful, amazing group of people I've ever known, and I feel so lucky to have you.

2. My job -- Even with the hellish hours it sometimes requires, I'm thankful that I love what I do and absolutely adore the people I work with.

3. My dog -- Because you bring joy to my life, keep my active and snuggle me at night when Pete's out of town!

4. My friends -- who have stood by me and supported me through so much... and continue to make my life way more enjoyable!

5. Last, and maybe most of all, Pete -- who is my best friend in the whole world, who I also happen to be madly in love with. I am so thankful that you are in my life.

What are you thankful for on this day?

Give Thanks Today.

I stumbled across this image while searching the web and thought it the perfect way to honor this Holiday. I love everything about Thanksgiving, but especially the people I get to spend it with. I hope you have a most wonderful Thanksgiving!

Buy Nothing Day = November 23rd

A 24 hour moratorium on consumer spending - participate by not participating. This November 23rd, environmentalists, social activists and concerned citizens in as many as 65 countries will hit the streets for a 24-hour consumer fast in celebration of the 15th annual Buy Nothing Day, a global cultural phenomenon that originated in Vancouver, Canada. Read more.

This post may seem ironic, since about 75% of what I post on this blog is material things to purchase, however I think this is a wonderful idea. Thanks to my sister, my entire family has vowed to participate this year in the Buy Nothing Day, and you should too!

The perfect party accessories...

These beautiful Stephen Dweck earrings are the perfect Holiday party accessory and are all currently on Sale at Neiman Marcus!

I have been looking forward so much for this event, and can't wait to see what kinds of goodies they have for sale! I will provide a full-report on Monday!

Item of the week: Flat boots!

I desperately need/want a pair of flat knee high boots. Here are a few of my favorites:


Available here.

Gobble Gobble

These fun and delicious treats (Chocolate Turkeys, Mini Pie Sampler + Pumpkin whoopie pies) would make a wonderful edition to any Thanksgiving, as well as the perfect hostess gift. Available here.

we NEED these...

Pete and I both read TONS of magazines and by the end of each month we have about 20 new magazines sitting on our coffee table. We have recently decided to create archives of our favorites, but have nowhere to keep them. These shelves, along with these magazine boxes, are the perfect stylish solution! Available here.

Oh Christmas Tree...

I was pretty dead set on getting a real Christmas Tree this year, even despite how much Pete tried to talk me out of it. I think however after finding this tree that I might be alright with a fake tree, especially if we have these adorable ornaments to decorate it! Available here.

Hello Kitty!

Despite the fact that I'm no longer 10 years old, and that it really isn't cool anymore, I'm still a huge fan of Hello Kitty! Their merchandise is always so cheerful and fun, and these two products are no exception... they might even make my Christmas list this year! Available here.

The ultimate tail-gating accessory...

..I don't have Buckeye Football fever like the rest of this town, however this Beer Belt would be absolutely PERFECT for most of my friends! (ie. Kevin, Maggie and North). Available here.

i LOVE this bag.

Why does everything I love have to cost so much!?!? Available here.
