Five Things

November 18th, 2011



{Choose your holiday card – playfully customizable}

Earlier this week, while on the phone with my grandma, she said how excited she was about seeing me next week for Thanksgiving. I corrected her, saying that it was still two weeks away, but that I was also looking forward to our trip up north. Needless to say, she was right (and I’m pretty sure she’s not even aware that Thanksgiving always falls on a Thursday). I’ve since embraced the quickly approaching holiday season and have already started stocking up on greeting cards, wrapping paper, and the occasional rendition of “Carol of the Bells.”

{My favorite thing to give for a birthday – nostalgia candy}



{The ideal pinkish beige – Nars Madere Matte Lipstick}

    I love getting people “vintage” candy as well. When my mom was little her favorite was the candy buttons bc she was never allowed to have them…it was a BIG deal when she got to eat a few. I plan on getting her some jumbo sized ones to stick in her stocking! :)

    That clutch is darling. Too bad it won’t fit a few diapers and bottles… Maybe in a few years:) The nostalgia candy is great, too! XO
