My Latest Obsessions

Happy Thursday! I'm going to be running around tomorrow so I thought I would post my Friday Faves a day early.

OMG, crazy to think that Sunday is our 1 year anniversary! I cannot believe it! Time flies. It was such a wonderful weekend - I loved our rehearsal dinner (still have dreams about the "monkey" bread) and the wedding was exactly what we had hoped for! And I will always LOVE my dress. And yes, I wish I was heading off to another 10 day vacation with Peter...that was fantastic!

Lots going on...Sunday is our anniversary and we happen to be hosting a dinner party for our dear friend Val and her fiance James (who are in from London) along w/a bevy of fun folks from the city. Next week we are hosting Thanksgiving at our house. My Dad and Bonnie are making the trip out here - should be fun! They haven't seen GMC since he was about 5 weeks old - they are in for a "smiley" treat! George is "babbling" away and the gals are loving "chatting" with him.

Some of my faves...

First, one of GMC's latest faves = his friend Sophie the Giraffe. See pic above. He is IN LOVE.

Ummm, adorable Prince William is now officially engaged to Miss Kate Middleton. Everyone loves a royal wedding. Just before this was announced I read the article in Vanity Fair about the two of them (they seem very normal and cute together). Nice work Prince W.

Stella McCartney did a line for Gap and it was so popular that she started her own clothing line for kiddos. Very cute stuff!

This would be a fun skirt for all those holiday parties!

I'm always looking for ways to spice up an ordinary outfit or some of my staples. LOVE these shoe clips from ban.do. Super cute.

I think I found the perfect Christmas present for my mom (don't look JuJu!).

Dwell Studio just came out w/custom wallpaper for kiddos. How fun! I love all the great patterns. You can change the scale of the patterns = perfect! On Dwell's blog I found this great post on Thanksgiving - love the festive decor!

I LOVE creative people - especially those that take what they are passionate about and do something w/it. This esty site Pocketful of Posies is a friend of a friend's new endeavor. Pretty cute stuff. Check it out.

My Latest Obsessions

Above is my new favorite picture of GMC - dressed as a lil cowboy! I cannot believe he is over 3 months old! Time flies!

LOVE Rachel Pally's stuff. She has a dress at Target that is exclusive to them (pretty nice because the price point is lower than her usual stuff).

LOVE all of Vince's sweaters - in particular I'm fond of the Drop Needle Cowl Sweater. Sweater season is upon us!

Aren't these Paper Turkey Pins adorable? Maybe I'll make these with the gals for Thanksgiving.

I love wrapping presents! Isn't this wrapping paper from Snow & Graham adorable? LOVE IT! These Elves are pretty cute as well. Their new tiny cards are quite cute as well.

Fun new Etsy find = Babette (handmade jewelry). Isn't this necklace unique and different?

Favorite Quote of the Week:

"Mom - who sings this song?" (while humming to 'Baby')

"Justin Bieber."

"Umm, are you sure, because it sounds like a girl!"

(LOL. Well, the guy is ONLY 16).

My Latest Obsessions

Happy Friday! The temps are starting to drop a bit and now that chill is in the air. Time to bust out the coats! My mom JuJu was in town and she left Monday - slightly depressed as it was so much fun having her around (she loved seeing George and the gals and it was nice to have those evening chats with her after the kiddos went to bed). Until next time!

After the temps drop a bit I begin my fall/winter evening ritual = mug of hot chocolate. YUM!

CUTE gifts to keep your loved ones warm!

I saw this vest in Daily Candy's Editor's Wish List and immediately thought of my mom. She shops at Double D Ranchwear. Doesn't this vest look SUPER WARM and cozy. If only I was heading to AZ for the holidays!

My laptop seems to be on its last leg and lately I have been thinking about the I-Pad. Wouldn't this be a great case for it?

I'm digging this side chignon for the holidays.

Cute gingerbread men wrapping paper for the holidays!

Free People just launched a line called Wee People. Cute.

Lately I have been in "year" review mode (especially as we approach our 1 year wedding anniversary) and remembering that this time last year we were in major wedding mode. Sometimes I wish I kept a journal so when I get in "year" review mode I could look back a year and see what I was doing/thinking/feeling at the time. So, I looked back to my post from about a year ago - so fun!
