Happy New Year (Eve)!!!!

This lovely image was found on Mary Ruffle's tumblr, discovered through the addicting site of Pinterest. It's exactly how we feel. Here is to 2011 and all the wonderful dreams that comes with it.

Time to get ready for your big New Year's Bash! We can't imagine any New Year's celebration to be complete without...yep, you guessed it....sequins!!!! Normally we aren't big fans of these sparkly little doo- dads, but New Year's is our fabulous exception. So for us, go out and get a dress that will put the disco ball above you to shame!

A Look Back

Images found on the Vogue Archives

Now to the official count down to the New Year. Time to be nostalgic about the quickly passing Christmas festivities. We decided to look back too. Way back. Here are some December issues of Archived Vogue covers. How we love the days of these simple, yet statement making covers.

Style Icon: Alexa Chung

Her mix of girly and grunge, menswear and vintage skirts, has got us thinking. We admire Alexa Chung's style, so why shouldn't we post that on our blog? As the face of Madewell, Alexa can be found all over the pages of magazines. Our favorite images of her are the ones on the street, where you see her true fashion sense shine.

Travel?

Did you travel for the holidays? If you made it to your destination on time, congrats. If not, were you close to a strong cocktail? Here's hoping. We have heard many a horror story for traveling this year. We just wanted to take this time and focus on the pretty side of it, vintage suitcases! Here are some of our favorite finds. These beautiful sets of luggage should give you some serenity before braving it all again to make the trek back home.

Merry Christmas!!!

We wish everyone the most wonderful of Holiday celebrations. Here are some of our favorite Christmas-inspired photos to share with you. Have a fabulous day tomorrow and be safe in all your travels.

Lake Tahoe in the Winter

1. Rag & Bone ensemble 2. Aubin and Wills leather gloves 3. Chloe scarf 4. Haute Hippie sweater wrap
5. Modcloth boots 6. Top Shop leather bag  7. Rag & Bone floppy hat

Andrea is off to Lake Tahoe with the family for the holidays. Like Montana, Andrea is going to need to bundle up. We had fun choosing the items for a nice night out on the Tahoe town. She may not be wearing these items skiing, but she will definitely be wearing heeled boots for a dinner by the roaring fire after some tumbles out ice skating!

A White Christmas in Montana

1. Free People scarf 2. Free People backpack 3. Aldo sherpa boots 4. Elizabeth and James Gregory parka
5. Urban Outfitters cardigan

Montana photos found on Montana.gov

Gail is off to Indonesia and tomorrow Sarah catches a flight heading to Montana. The weather in those two places couldn't be more different. Sarah is going to need to stay nice and cozy for the snowy state, so we put together some nice and warm (but stylish!) options for her. Here's to a very, very white Christmas. Tune in tomorrow to find out where Andrea is spending her holidays!

Indonesia for the Holidays

1. Tory Burch tunic 2. Marc Jacobs scarf  3. Tory Burch sandal 4. Bona Drag tunic 5. Tory Burch hat
6. Gargyle sunglasses 7. Revolve Clothing passport case

So why a spread for Indonesia? Well, our lucky Gail is traveling there over the holidays. We can't wait for her to get back and share all her wonderful stories, pictures, and inspirations. In the meantime, we thought we would put together a fashion collage of what we might wear in that beautiful country. We just love the vibrant colors and detailed prints inspired by their culture. 

We Love Jill Bliss

Images found on jillbliss.com

Since we saw the one and only Jill Bliss over the weekend at the craft show, we thought it would be fitting to showcase her wonderful art style. With her fab products ranging from notecards to wallets, there is much to see on her site. Check it out and see what we have been drooling over!

Renegade Craft Fair

We had a busy weekend! The Renegade Craft Fair was in town and this time it was holiday specific! We were overjoyed with all the fantastic artists that were there. One of our favorites is Jill Bliss. Her art style is unique and playful and can't help but make us smile. We saw lots of others there as well, including shops that were new to us. Sarah discovered The Harbinger Co. and got this week's Must Have Item, a beautifully crafted honeycomb necklace.

Paper Mache for the Weekend!

Rhino from Anthro

Here's something to do this weekend! Paper mache! Inspired by Anthropologie's ornaments, we thought this would be a great post for a Friday. Paper mache brings back so many wonderful memories as a child. What better time to be nostalgic than the holidays, right?

Deer from Mollie Green

Birdie from West Elm

Here are some more cute ideas for paper mache. If anyone would like to make us a paper mache deer for our wall, please, feel free!

Paper: Transformed

Featured in the Museum and Arts and Design, these images showcase what beautiful and ornate things can be done with using only paper. The first one is a detailed map of an imaginary town, the one below would be great for unique holiday decor, and the last is a depiction of a water city. For more ways artists transformed the everyday product of paper, check out an article by Fast Company.

There is an rustic ipod charger, adorable twigs for pinning back your hair do, a ring to decorate your hands, and wall paper to spice up your home!

Holiday Gift Guide: For the Fellas

Uncommon Goods

Here's round two of our holiday gift guides, and this time it is for the gents. Inspired by Jonathan Adler's bright and colorful poker set, we decided to make this a "poker night" theme. This way you can distract your men for a night free of shopping with the girls!

They've Got it Right: Jonathan Andler's Manifesto

Over the weekend, we came across Jonathan Adler's manifesto. We love every bit of it. What a great outlook on business and life. Their whimsical character is carried into their products that they offer. Don't you just want to give a bucket of calories to your neighbor? Or how about the playful menagerie ornaments for you aunt? Or how about give it all to us? Yeah, that sounds lovely...

Gail's Wish List

We told you we would be sharing our personal wish lists! So without further adieu, here are is our textile designer, Gail's, gift choice collage. These are fantastic gifts for any stylish lady. Since Gail is the chicest of them all, we hope that she receives everything on it! When she does, perhaps she should keep her necklace and fox print in different rooms. We wouldn't want the sheep to go missing in the middle of the night!
