Because I’m such a sucker for Christmas, we’ve secretly had our christmas lights strung up since the beginning of October. I say secretly because we’ve only started turning them on now. It is November, after all.
Besides that, I’ve been working on my iTunes christmas playlist (“I love those J-I-N-G-L-E…”), reading up on caring for christmas trees, and thinking about starting my christmas shopping.
That’s right, I said thinking about because I’m finally ready to begin the christmas shopping! Will you join me?
Some of the best deals can be found online- if you know where and how to look.

Seriously, just look at this leather. This is DKNY’s Turn-Lock Calf Hobo, and it’s on sale for $147 right now (from $295).
Details: Polished calfskin with a soft grain, Woven shoulder straps with leather bands, Front pocket with golden turn lock, Brushed gold metal hardware, Interior magnetic closure, and Natural canvas lining with two patch pockets and a zipped pocket. Size is 15″ x 9.5″ x 4.5″ (at base). Ooh la la.
*Update: it’s sold out now! You might also be interested in the gorgeous Antiqued Calf Leather Hobo, which is not on sale, but is mouthwatering nonetheless.
Since my birthday, I’ve been on a bit of a shopping spree… all that birthday money was burning a hole in my pocket! Among my many recent purchases was Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer (in Nude, which is just right for my fair to medium skintone).
It’s a product that’s been raved about by beauty editors and makeup artists everywhere- and now I know why. Suddenly, my sensitive, dry, flaky skin is smooth and silky and dare I say- dewy.
The tinted moisturizer comes in an oil-free version, and you should try both before making a decision. Highly, highly recommended.
Seriously, there are so many gorgeous lamps available these days- even online!- that you no longer have an excuse for not beautifying your room (and home) with one.
The one featured here is a current favorite, the Silver Bamboo Lamp from Barbara Cosgrove. Modern, yet classic. A piece of art that also gives you light. What more could you ask for?
Barbara Cosgrove lamps are available from Furniture of America.
