Currently Loving (December 2011)

I am making a list, checking it twice: it’s that awesome monthly feature where I pretend like I’ve never heard of Pinterest, oh-yes oh-yes oh-yes. Here are 11 little things that I am loving this snowy month of December…

1. Printed dress via zara.com (SHOP IT) 2. kara ross sidra python shoulder bag via neimanmarcus.com (SHOP IT) stolen girlfriends club maxi skirt via ASOS (SHOP IT) 3. lanvin painted python minaudiere (SHOP IT) 5. tom ford calgary sunglasses via nordstrom (SHOP IT) 6. seamed jacket with waist detail via REISS (SHOP IT) 7. devon crystal necklace and devon crystal bracelet via audendesign.com (SHOP IT) 8. voluspa cut glass candle in goji torocco orange via anthropologie.com (SHOP IT) 9. short chevron fur gilet via TOPSHOP (SHOP IT) 10. butter 3 free london polish in macbeth (SHOP IT) 11. pebble dinnerware via Z Gallerie (SHOP IT)


1. Printed Dress (zara.com) – pretty dress, pretty print, very pretty price.
2. Kara Ross Sidra Shoulder Bag (neimanmarcus.com) – combines everything I love in one very pretty package.
3. Lanvin Python Minaudiere (neimanmarcus.com) – I am definitely having a snakey-little-moment, and Lanvin always does it right. This gorgeous minaudiere even comes with a chain so you don’t have to fumble with it all night long, hooray.
4. Stolen Girlfriend’s Club Printed Maxi Skirt (asos.com) – this skirt is perfect for anyone that likes showing off their legs but hates the over-exposed vulnerability of a true mini skirt.
5.Tom Ford Calgary Oversized Sunglasses (nordstrom.com) – colorful sunglasses are just one of the many trends on tap for Spring 2012; these frames have a subtle touch of color mirroring pretty, neutral stripes and a cool, oversized shape.
6. Seamed Detail Waist-Tie Coat (reissonline.com) – Reiss is a relative newcomer to the world of fashion (at least for us girls, as their womenswear line launched in 2000) but oh, how I love them so. This UK-based retailer is stuffed full of sleek, pretty, and polished items–this coat is no exception.
7. Devon Crystal Necklace & Devon Crystal Bracelet (audendesign.com) – I love unique pieces of jewelry, and this NYC-based jeweler combines funky mixes of metal, swarovski crystals, and semi-precious stones to create seriously stunning pieces.
8. Cut Glass Candle in Goji Tarocco Orange (goji berry at anthropologie.com) –  I typically dislike ‘fruity’ home fragrances, but the mix of goji berry and tarocco orange smells tangy, clean, and not over-sweet. I picked it up for myself at Anthropologie yesterday and have been burning it ever since!
9. Short Chevron Faux Fur Gilet (topshop.com) – a faux fur vest is a must for winter, and I love that this gilet is slim fitting with a soft and swanky print.
10. Butter 3 Free London Nail Lacquer in ‘Macbeth’ (zappos.com) – I am currently rebelling against the dark hues normally associated with winter, and this orangey coral is the perfect way to do it! I like it paired with turquoise, yellow gold, rose gold, and burgundy (see here!).
11. Pebble Dinnerware (zgallerie.com) – I spotted this yesterday in-store and it was hard to not bring it home with me! While the entire set can be a bit much, the pebble pattern looks beautiful as a charger sitting under white, asymmetrical gold-rimmed dishes (like these at west elm!)
