We’re almost halfway through December (eek!) and I hope that you’re all well into the spirit of the season… hanging lights by day, drinking hot chocolate (this kind) by night, and scheming up creative gifts for those extra-deserving people in your lives. When it comes to decorating, I’ve never really been the type to buy a decoration and use it as-is. I’m always manipulating it into something new… adding personal touches here and there — and that’s why I love plain glass ball ornaments. Read More

West Coast Winter Dresses
Here on the west coast, our winter is mild. We become frigid little beings at a mere 35 degrees… a surely welcomed temperature for those of you braving the Midwest and beyond. We do have to layer, yes… but our layers are a bit lighter and more forgiving. Down parkas and ear muffs aren’t a necessity, though we do love escaping somewhere/anywhere they are (grass is always greener syndrome?). Here I took of my favorite Free People dresses and layered them appropriately for a current California December. Read More

For The Love Of Clogs
I can always appreciate a girl in clogs. These wooden-soled shoes are so… funky, which is a word I never really find myself using, but when it comes to clogs I just can’t help it.
The Cabin: Behind The Scenes, Part 2
Today I have another beautiful batch of behind the scenes images from our December short film and catalog shoot in Maine. I can’t get enough of these photos…this time of year, as the first flakes of snow blanket the ground around us and evenings get darker and darker, I find myself longing for a cozy cabin to retreat to. I look at these images and dream of shaggy carpets, the crackling of a flame in a fireplace, frosted windowpanes, and someone to snuggle up with and wait out the winter. Read More

Winter Wanderer: Style Inspiration
Today we wanted to share some beautiful photos taken by the lovely ladies of our Scottsdale Fashion Square store in Arizona!

A serene blanket of snow and a forest of birch trees created the perfect setting for a winter wonderland. Read More

Of course I was drawn to those selling natural homemade beauty products… but there was one product in particular that stopped me dead in my tracks: 100% natural willow tree charcoal eyeliner and eyeshadow (which you can buy here).
