SLEEPY JONES MACARON UNDIES

You know all about my love for Sleepy Jones (remember this fun post?!) so I'm excited to share a sneak peek of their newest arrivals: the macaron undies! Inspired by lemon, pistachio, and strawberry macarons, they are seriously the brightest and comfiest things in my top drawer at the moment. And don't get me started on the packaging — just as cute and, ahem, cheeky as what's inside. If you're looking for a dreamy last-minute gift, check out all their new arrivals right here!

TUCKERNUCK HOLIDAY WISHLIST

Carly and I had a fun opportunity to collaborate on our holiday wishlists with Tuckernuck and had so much fun shooting these pictures on the Upper East Side. I'm more than a little obsessed with this Annabel Ingall leather tote (coveting the silver version...) and clearly I couldn't get over Teddy's little Barbour jacket. Shop all of our gift picks right here! 

P.S. I wore these shoes which are now on sale!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS...

Can you believe there are less than ten days until Christmas? My apartment is feeling a lot like Santa's workshop right now with all hands on deck for holiday orders. We still have plenty of items in stock and ready to ship in time for Christmas, including our popular monogrammed desk accessories (which we can now monogram in gold!). 

If you're still shopping (I'm totally guilty...), all orders placed by this Wednesday, December 18, will arrive before Christmas Eve (unless specified otherwise in the product description). It's been a really amazing holiday season already and I can't wait to have all your orders in the mail so we can all sit back, relax, and enjoy the most wonderful time of the year!

WEEKEND READING

My cousin Maddie wearing the cutest hot pink coat at Thanksgiving!

1. After a friend's birthday dinner here, I'm dying to check out more Christmas lights here.

2. A holiday appetizer that's pretty and yummy. 

3. Ballet flats with scalloped edges? You know I'm loving these.

4. Barbour jackets on sale... Use code VERYMERRY20 for 20% off at checkout.

5. From the archives: a look at Olivia Palermo's style.

6. I'm getting excited to move into a new apartment early next year as the boutique has seriously outgrown this little studio. This is pretty much my dream desk set-up.

7. I'm kind of a freak about handwriting so these custom signature necklaces are right up my alley.

8. In case you missed it: the classic girl's ultimate Christmas list.

9. In New York next week? Check out this exhibit before it closes on December 21.

10. The best is yet to come.

CHRISTMAS BAR CART

Drink More Gin print (budget-friendly similar)  //  Target Threshold bar cart c/o

Target glassware c/o  //  C. Wonder ginger jar (similar)

Design Darling trellis candle  //  Design Darling matchboxes

As you may remember from this post last year, I'm a big fan of holiday decor that's not your traditional red and green. A little garland and a single strand of Christmas lights make even hot pink feel totally festive! I wish I were planning a fabulous holiday fête this year but that will have to wait for a larger apartment... In the mean time, this happy little set-up is enough to tide me over until Christmas in Connecticut! How have you decorated chez vous? Do tell so I can live vicariously! ;)

WHAT TO WEAR WHEN IT'S FREEZING

I don't know about you but the moment it gets cold or wet outside, I pretty much go into survival mode. (How many layers can I possibly wear at one time?) We had our first real snowfall in New York this past weekend and I've totally been guilty of sacrificing style for staying dry and warm. I'd like to think it's totally possible to do both, à la these inspiring examples...

A few style notes: winter white coats, pom pom hats (I asked my parents for this one for Christmas), faux fur, my new favorite coat, leather gloves (great selection right here). My favorite is the navy coat with yellow details — the perfect bit of prep. Stay warm, my friends! xx

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE NEXT 1001 DAYS?

I promise I'm going to share my next 101 in 1001 list with you! My first list wrapped up this fall (I can't believe I started it in college!) and I'm only now coming up with the final tasks for my second list. I'm so close! I can't wait to get started and of course to share it here on the blog.

In the mean time, I would love your help! I'm so inspired by all the people who have shared their lists with me (they're all listed here under #2) — it's crazy how many of us share similar dreams and goals. With only a few more tasks to write on my next list, I'd love to know what you'd like to accomplish in your next 1001 days (2.75 years). It could be anything: achieving a personal fitness goal, finding volunteer work you're passionate about, saving up for your dream bag, traveling to a new place, trying a new food... Whatever it is, I'm dying for a little inspiration! 

P.S. If you decide to write a list of your own, tweet me so I can link up!

THE CLASSIC GIRL'S ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS LIST

I've talked about gifts for guys, gifts for little ones, and dresses for holiday parties... With fifteen days until Christmas, now it's time for the big one. The hardest part of holiday shopping for me, without fail, is buying for the girl who has everything and (sometimes worse) knowing what to ask for myself. So I've put together a pretty comprehensive list of gifts I think any classic girl would love. You'll see a slideshow with my top 20 or so picks, a smaller slideshow with dozens more ideas, and a list of ideas from my own boutique — you can see why I'm calling this your ultimate list! I hope it helps you find something you love, whether it's for you or your mom/daughter/sister/wife/girlfriend/BFF/cousin/coworker/you name it. Enjoy!

A few best-sellers from my boutique:

Monogrammed business card holder

Monogrammed pencil cup

Monogrammed tray

Pens & pencil sets

"The best is yet to come" print

And thirty more ideas just because!
