dCc Gift Guide: Holiday Hostess

 
With Holiday parties around the corner, I thought it was only appropriate to share fabulous gifts for the ultimate Holiday Hostess. These things are clever yet classic ways to say "thank you" beyond the traditional bottle of wine.. but if you must I would go with some Veuve Cliquot Champange!

Merry (Monogram) Christmas to Me!

 
As you know well by now, I am a huge fan of Stubbs & Wootton Slippers. I have quite a few pairs that I adore, but I have always wanted bespoke monogrammed ones. Well, they have finally arrived and I could not love them more! They are so classic that I think I will wear them until I am 80 years old.

And I am Off to NYC


Well darlings, today I am off to NYC for the week to work on the Fall 2013 Collection. I am sad to leave my husband after such a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend surrounded by dear family and friends.

Thankfully, I will be able to entertain myself on the flight by shopping all the fabulous "Cyber Monday" sales while in the air (thank you wireless!) ... Net-a-Porter, Barneys, & Bergdorfs ...Here I come!

I will be back later this week with the first of my dCc gift guides for the Holiday season!

Giving Thanks

 
I truly have so much to be thankful for this year, but I am most thankful for the absolutely incredible people I have in my life from my husband, to my family, friends, and fabulous followers! I hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with the ones you love.

dCc Outfit Obsession

 
I cannot think of a better combination ... feathers, a navy blazer, & a Valentino Rockstud Tote (which is at the top of my Christmas list this year!)? This would be my ideal outfit to wear for the Thanksgiving holiday. What are you planning on wearing this year?

Charlie Gardner + The Lunchbox Fund

 
 
Darlings, I am delighted to introduce you to a fabulous way to look good, for a good cause! A dear friend of mine has started a wonderful company, Charlie Gardner, which does just that. Recently, they have created these gorgeous weekender bags to benefit the Lunchbox Fund, which is a non-profit dedicated providing a daily meal to disadvantaged and at risk students in South African schools.

Not only is the Holiday season a wonderful time to give back, but these bags are utterly perfect for your busy travel plans!

Winter Whites

Lately, I am absolutely loving the idea of layering up creamy winter whites, especially in chunky sweaters! I think I may need this Joseph sweater to perfectly complete the look myself.  Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day?

Creativity at Work

Last night I was absolutely delighted to attend blogger, Heather Clawson of Habitually Chic , book signing at the beautiful new SF design store, Hudson - Grace. I must say that in person Heather is truly just as chic as her blog! Her new book, Creativity at Work, is a gorgeous mix of inspirational photographs and stories behind creative work spaces. Not only is it a must read, but the gorgeous orange cover looks fabulous on any coffee table!

Black & White Stripes are Always Right

 
I just cannot get enough of black & white awning stripes in the home! There is something so incredibly crisp, chic,  and classic about them. How would you incorporate them into your home?

Business in the Front, Party in the Back

 
With an abundance of Holiday parties approaching, lately I have had cocktail dresses on my mind!  More specifically, I have become slightly obsessed with dresses with intricate back details. With stunning dresses like these ones, I can’t think of a better way to leave a lasting impression on those at the party as you walk out the door!

Fur for Fall

One of my favorite things to wear each Fall is a fur trimmed blazer. They always manage to look make anyone look classic yet chic. It is certainly the perfect touch of fur to sport before full blown winter. I have a tweed Theory Blazer (similar here) with a fur trimmed collar that I have had to restrain myself from wearing too much this season!

Behind the Scenes: Mulberry SP13

 
I was swooning over these backstage photos that the New York Times featured of the Mulberry Spring 2013 show. I must admit that I adore the gorgeous design of the space almost as much as the collection! The molding and chandelier? ... perfection!
