'Tis the Season.

Yes, I realize this is the time of year to be searching for special items for your loved ones, but selfishly, I'd like to show you a few things I came across in the hunt for others (I swear). Unfortunately, as I'm just about to move into a new apartment, the items on my personal list are a little more practical, but these things look lovely none the less.

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7* / 8 / 9 / 10

*The Coat pictured with the scarf is Isabel Marant for H&M (good luck trying to get your hands on that one). Perfect, isn't it?

About some of these items-

I thought the UGG driving shoes sounded like a wonderful idea. I'm always caught wearing flats in the winter season, despite having no socks with them, and it seems perfect to have a pair with a sheepskin lining.

The Camera bag by Ona is beautiful, though if you click the link, you'll see there isn't a bag that you won't like. I'm constantly looking for a bag that will fit my camera, but that I can pass off as a purse.

My accessories are all over my dresser, so I thought the jewelry tray was a nice way of keeping order, when things aren't put directly back in the jewelry box.

A Canada Goose Down Parka- Ever since I went to Copenhagen, I've been lusting after these. Definition of Cozy...or so I'm told.

The Daniel Wellington Watch. I've had my eye on these for over a year now (brown and gold to serve the purpose that my silver and black one can't). Check out the website.

And don't you think the Anthro dress would be wonderful at Christmas parties? YES.

Bonus item:

My Favourite Scent from Jo Malone (I LOVE the Bath Oil, and candles)

Ok, enough about me. What do you have your eye on this Christmas?

Off to the Races...

By the time you read this, we'll be setting our hats in place and heading for the train...

I've never been one to believe the tale of the Paper Bag Princess, so without further adieu, here's how we are styling ourselves for Ascot.

My Outfit:

Dress: Whistles (ON SALE!), Shoes: Nine West (old), Bracelet: JCREW, Yellow Clutch: Hobo, White Convertable Clutch: Banana Republic (ON SALE!) Sandals: Michael Kors (Old), Blazer: Zara (Old), Hat: John Lewis

S's Outfit:

Dress: Anthropologie, Clutch: Banana Republic (ON SALE!), Shoes: Zinda, Hat: Debenhams (ON SALE!)

Can one wear SPANX (not pictured!) in 27 degree heat? I'm about to find out. Can you believe the forecast is for 27 degrees and thunder showers? Just our luck. Keep your fingers crossed for us that this doesn't happen, otherwise I will be a very unhappy girl....but should anyone decide to elope last minute, my wedding outfit is set.

I have shown two purses. While I'd like to be bringing the contrasting yellow one, I'm taking the larger white one as I'm sneaky and I'm throwing my Michael Kors gold sandals in my purse. This girl will not make it an entire day in heals (without taking them off and throwing them at someone). I've never been before, but I'm quite certain that won't go over well in the Royal Enclosure.

Wish us luck!

Pictures later this week.
