S is for Silhouette.... jewelry!

If you have read my blog, you know I LOVE silhouettes!  I shared a Christmas gift I got my sister last year here.  I recently stumbled across another silhouette jewelry item that is quickly going on my wish list!

Buy it at Le Papier Studio

Another option at Le Papier

I love the idea of getting the "couple" one now of the husband and I and then getting one of the bambina a little later! :)  Love it!  Until next time...xoxo

V! Valentine's Day Gifts for her!

Yes, time is running out to get a Valentines' Day gift! Tomorrow I will tell you about my my new favorite gift for him. Today, here are some great finds for her. There are many options to get lingerie, chocolates, flowers... etc. I say go straight to the real deal.... jewelry.... and straight to the blue box.

I have never ever heard of any woman getting handed a tiny blue box and not losing her mind with joy. I witnessed it myself when I gave my sister the Tiffany "Bean" necklace when she graduated from college. She did not even care what was in it. Believe it or not you can get some reasonable priced items at Tiffany's. (You can actually search by "under $15o).

Here are my favorite options from Tiffanys!

The Tiffany Bow Pendant.

This would be the one I would want. Hint. Hint. Husband, are you there? $100.... great price and cute gift!

The Tiffany Horseshoe Pendant

$150 bucks of cuteness! Who does not need a lucky horseshoe?

The Tiffany Heart Key Charm

They have some adorable key pendants. This baby is $150 bucks. Adorable.

"Return to Tiffany" Heart Pendant Tag

Classic. Timeless. Tiffany staple. $100.

"Tiffany Notes" Bar Pendant

Simple and pretty. Wear this every day.... $100.

There are a ton of affordable options and all come in that precious blue box!

Until Next Time....xoxo

G.I.G.= Gift I Gave..... Revealed!

I gave my sister some cool stuff this year! At least I think so. I will share my favorite gift to her later this week! I am waiting for her to send me the photo!

But... I have her a few things! If you have read my early posts.... you probably saw my LOVE of Leigh and Luca scarves. I am totally obsessed with them.... really, I may need an intervention! They are my weekend uniform. I have three... soon to be four (thanks to one day sale at Blue Fly)!

I got this one below for my sister for Christmas. I bought it and wanted to keep it for myself, but in the spirit of giving.... forced myself to give it to her. She had coveted one of mine, so I think she is happy to have one for herself! It is a great gift to give!

Sister... do you love it? You will! I promise!

If you need a reminder from my last Leigh and Luca post. I have these ones!

From Gilt Group Sale:

"Cotton" Anniversary Gift (I picked it out). Thanks husband!

My first! Gift from my stylish sister-in-law that started my obsession!

Peacock Feathers Orange

Newest Addition....I needed a black one... duh!

Silver Roses Black (on its way to me right now!) Thanks to one day sale at Blue Fly! Also, googled Promo Code and found $20 bucks off order (PurseBlog20). Got it for a steal!

Sooooo cute! You can buy online at the Leigh and Luca website plus a few other places including Blue Fly, Revolve Clothing, and of course... ebay.

I know... I know. I have already talked a lot about these scarves already. Sorry, but I cannot help myself! Obsessed.... really obsessed!

Until next time....xoxo

Great Gift Idea! Create your own Tastebook!

Okay, I cannot believe I am just writing about this. Seriously! So, this is one of my absolutely favorite gift ideas! I bought this for my sister last year- it is a create your own cookbook! It is super easy; terrific gift for a mom, sister, bride or what not. You can collect family recipes and important them into the site to create a personalized Tastebook!

In addition, you can import recipes from epicurious.com or copy recipes from other sites. For my sister's .... I did a combination. It included a ton of our typical family recipes that we all know and love and may or may not have recipes for. Additionally, I downloaded a bunch of recipes that I thought they would like ... healthy, easy, party pleasers, etc. You can add comments, stories and photos to each recipe page if you choose to.... which is a great way to share where a recipe came from or why you picked it for them!


In addition to chosing the recipes, you get to design the cover (picking from a variety of great photos). You chose the title, logo/color for spine of cookbook, and so on. You can make it be just what you want it to be! You can always order extra recipe page inserts later too... so you if you want to give them new recipes the next year- you can give them and they can insert into the spiral bound cookbook!

It was a big hit when I gave it to the sister and the brother-in-law. Check out the website at Tastebook.com. It walks you through the whole thing. It is fun to make.... kind of addictive actuallly! You can still create your own tastebook. Deadline is December 18th, so get cracking! I promise ... it will be a hit of your holiday!

Shop, Shop, Shop till you drop! Christmas is almost here! Until Next Time....xoxo
