Guest Post || TEEN GIRL GIFTS

Image
Hello inner-tube lovelies!  I'm Virginia, Jennifer's daughter.  I hope you all had a great Black Friday and sufficiently avoided getting trampled (I stayed at home... didn't want to risk it).  I find the whole concept of Black Friday very interesting... Americans spend Thanksgiving with their families, discussing what they are grateful to have and how blessed they are, only to go out the next day and run people over to buy new things.  It's all very materialistic, and I don't quite understand the mentality, although I do love a good bargain... just not enough to maim a fellow shopper.  My mother asked me to create a gift guide for teen girls, because apparently it's hard to shop for us. Oops.  Here it is -- hope it's helpful and such.  Happy Holidays, and may you drink plenty of cocoa this season.   wristlet | bracelets | vest | boots | polish | sweater | scarf | jambox | gloves

Blue and White Monday || Thanksgiving Inspiration

Image
Flowers by Carolyne Roehm Have I shared that fall is my favorite time of year?  I may have also shared that traditional fall colors are not my favorite.  I see no reason to feel compelled to use oranges, browns or yellows at Thanksgiving if you're more of a pinks and reds girl. These images can double as both inspiration for your table and gift options. They're perfect as both.

A GIFT FOR HER (or yourself)

Are you a pajama person?  I am, and these are ADORABLE. They're perfect for a gift or for you, and apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so. They're selling fast.  Go here to see these plus robes and slippers. It's getting chilly here, and all of this looks so cute and comfy!

Hotel de Paris Santorini, Greece Didier Haspeslagh The format of Blue and White Monday is different today as I'm linking up to one of favorite blogs.  Sandy, at You May Be Wandering , is having a No Passports Required linking party.   Be sure not to miss all of the incredible travel posts!  Now, please take my quiz and see if you can place these amazing blue and white spaces in their proper locations.  Good luck!

WEEKEND SHARING || INSTAFAVES

Are you on Instagram ?  If you are, you know how amazing it can be.  Do you ever see something you like so much that you have to get a screenshot?  That's what these images are.  Photos that stopped me in my tracks and I just had to capture. MM can make an Adams-style mantel and hand-painted Chinese paper look so fresh. Pink velvet with all that blue and white?  LOVE. It's the dragon planter I have in my store!  How fun to see it in this Parker Kennedy shot. When am I going to get over malachite with black and gold?  I don't see it happening anytime soon. I'm loving everything about this photo. Erin, I'm kind of jealous of your new fabric, but I think that's the ginger jar you purchased from me so I'll get over it. Pink Peonies.  No explanation necessary. Could this look more clean, fresh and pretty? Not sure which is better.  The architecture or the pink? I want Emily Henderson&

Emily McCarthy || CHIC PERSONALIZED GIFTS

Emily McCarthy Emily McCarthy , a Savannah-based designer, created this logo for my friend Tiffany Jones , and I was immediately obsessed.  The elegant, chic simplicity of it is PERFECT.  I've been stalking every bit of gorgeous design on Emily's website ever since.  She's recently added a shop with items that you'll want both for yourself and to give as gifts. Emily does stationery design  branding, party invitations, holiday tags,   gifts, personalized trays coasters even web design I want to know what Emily can't do.  What a talent!  Her style is so fresh, clean and chic. I'm loving all of the items in her shop of which, by the way, I haven't shown you nearly all. While I'm wanting many of her offerings for myself, I think all of them are perfect for gift-giving. Personalized cocktail napkins, coasters, trays, cups, stationery, and fine art prints -

COLORFUL AND COZY | Throws Under $100

Image
For yourself, or as a gift, these are fantastic.  Throws are so great to have on hand.  We use them everyday at my house.  I also love to see them used in a room to add color and texture.  They look so good folded and placed in a basket, or just left on the sofa.   These are all available at One Kings Lane , and the best part is that they're all under $100.
