Five Things

October 21st, 2011

{Best way to counter gray afternoons – warm chocolate chip cookies}

This week was filled with classic comforts – the ultimate dessert, sweet-smelling inspiration, special clothing details, new home accessories, and running errands in tried and true staples.

{Diptyque inspiration at Barneys}

{I love when the lining of an item is just as pretty as the exterior}

{New hand hooks from Gilt Groupe for hanging bags in the entryway}

{Uniform as of late – relaxed skinny jeans and ballet flats}

    What is it about this time of year that makes you want to bake warm cookies? I just baked some for my brother-in-law in Afghanistan. It cheered me up instantly :)

    That hand is kind of freaky haha like it’s motioning for you to come over

    The hand hook reminds me of the hands from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory – remember that scene? The hands grabbed the hat right off Grandpa Joe’s head when they first arrived inside the factory. :)

    Love the post, great five things! Have a nice weekend!
