Shiny Happy People

Jen Brill & Olivia Kim's collaboration with Cole Haan is well, brilliant. Just in time for the holiday, I can't think of a better way to make your way {stylishly} through the glittering parties, endless presents, and hors d' oeuvres than with these beauties bedazzling your tootsies. The clincher? They have Nike Air soles... just incase you weren't already sold.

Ready, Set, Sparkle

Like many other girls, I am a sucker for a sparkly frock- especially with coordinating nail polishes! Here are a few of my favorite show stopping stunners that I would happily wear this holiday...

Playing House

I often find single rooms within a house that I am really inspired by, but rarely am I ever in love with the interior design of the entire house. So when I saw the home of Marianne Brandi and Keld Mikkelsen, the duo behind fashion label Day Birger et Mikkelsen, I was in heaven. In fact, I think when I decorate my future house, it will have a very similar design aesthetic to that of their home in Copenhagen. It's the complete match up of casual glam...

On Your Mark

I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that mark. was more than just beauty products. In fact, they offer quite a few fashionable accessory and apparel options. Here are just a few that I was able to recently test out. I am obsessed with the trio of belts, and the geometric print dress.  The best part is that the prices are low enough to check off all the gals on your holiday list.

Mad About Saffron

Since my sister started her own paddle board program called Get Up Stand Up almost two years ago, I have embraced the paddle scene in a way that I don't think I would have if it weren't for her. One of my favorite things to do when I head back to Long Island in the summer is to take her classes. She owns quite a few boards of her own, yet I do not own one! I definitely would not mind showing up on the scene with one of these artfully designed beauties from Anthropologie's collaboration with Saffron James. Aren't they something?

Enter here to win a Saffron James board & a bunch of other wonderful prizes from Anthropologie- from now until December 16th!
