[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]T[/dropcap]he best gifts are the ones she would never get for herself, like this luxurious Tory Burch soap set ($48). It’s ideal for the hostess or the hard-to-buy for aunt who seems to have everything. But don’t be surprised if they end up in an apothecary jar to be admired. The packaging makes them almost too pretty to use.

I’ve been striking out with my online purchases lately. This skirt was entirely too short to wear in public and this scarf turned out to be more of an olive green instead of the pretty heather grey I had hoped for. I still have this dress on its way to me and my fingers are crossed that it works out. Dave’s office Christmas party is quickly approaching and I need a pretty cocktail dress for the occasion. If it’s a bust, I’m thinking of ordering this. Nautical stripes aren’t your standard holiday fare, but it sure is cute.

Can we also discuss how cute this leather wine tote is?! I’m not much of a wine drinker, but it could do double duty as a little picnic tote. No one needs to haul a giant basket with all of the fixin’s. A bottle of booze and a few snacks are all you really need. Alternatively, it’s a chic option for the farmers’ market if your shopping list only includes flowers and cheese.
[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]T[/dropcap]his shirt makes me ridiculously happy and it’s not just because it matches my favorite pin. Paired with a short shift dress, it has the carefree ’60s vibe I’m fond of. And, what better way to embrace its playful side than at a nearby playground? Thankfully no children were around because one trip down the slide made me realize how short my skirt was and how cold plastic playground equipment could be!

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]I[/dropcap]f you’ve been a longtime reader of my blog, you’ll remember how giddy I was to acquire this piece from the Coach x Tony Duquette collection. The lapis and malachite stick pin still remains a favorite in my jewelry box. I don’t wear it often, but that might have to change now that I’ve scored this beetle-print shirt by Tory Burch. It was hanging by its lonesome at Nordstrom Rack today and I was all too willing to bring it home to its sartorial sole mate.

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]I[/dropcap]t’s not like I needed anything from the Tory Burch Private Sale, but this metallic lace minaudiere was such a lovely way to treat myself to an event well done. White and gold is one of my favorite color combinations and I love that the lattice design keeps this from being basic. I just placed the order, but I have a feeling it’ll be something I’ll reach for year after year. (Let’s be honest, I’m also pretty excited to finally have a minaudiere with a strap to keep my hands free for cocktails.)

P.S. If you love the quilted Fleming bag as much as I do, the mini version in pink is on sale at Cusp.
