GIFT GUIDE: FOR THE FELLAS


And now for the fellas in your life.  A flask for the Bourbon, a S'well bottle to hydrate, and a fitbit to see if the Bourbon to H2O ratio is working.  Gift giving with a sense of humor. And a stuffed dog. What could be better?



CANVAS INTERIORS LATELY: LETS GO TO MILL VALLEY

Today lets head to a place near and dear to my heart... Mill Valley Ca. where I have spent many a cozy evening tucked in to a comfy sofa with dear friends and wine. This is one of my most happy places. If I were designing a home in Mill Valley it would be a little polished, a little undone, and decidedly comfy. 

Here is a collection of Canvas Interiors pieces that echo the spirit of this most special place. Take a look at our other collections as well. They are designed to help you shop with ease. We collect, curate, edit ... so you can spend more time curled up on a comfy sofa with wine. 






SLIGHTLY OBSESSED: GARANCE DORE

When I first started blogging there were a handful of bloggers who really inspired me and one of them is Garance Dore.  She is a woman who lives in her own skin. Which is something I believe is so very important for all of us to remember as we shape our lives. 

Her blog is full of honesty and inspiration. As is her new book Love x Style x Life. It is brimming with honesty and humor - her journey of self awareness, rising to life's challenges, making your own rules, chopping off your hair, turning 40.  Full of insight and thoughtful observations, it is a very sweet and inspiring read. 

We just put it in the store for what I think is the perfect gift for the girlfriends in your life. I am truly excited to tuck in to the next chapter. And for those of you who know me, I prefer a good Town & Country or People magazine to a book any day. This book had me at hello. 

If you are reading locally, stop by our Winter Park location to grab your copy.

INDIA HICKS NEW ITEMS & HOLIDAY COLLECTION

I think you must know by now that I adore and admire India Hicks. She has gone and done it again, introducing items (some special editions for the holidays) that are super warm and sweet. And functional. 

There are lots of new bags (my new favorite 'Madly Deeply'),  little pouches, and do-dads.  So fun. And possibly the only version of the color red I have ever liked in my entire life. That is saying a lot about this red. 

As always her charm and warmth come through in all she does. Check out the new collection and get a jump on the holidays from the comfort of your own home. Hell, in your PJs. With wine. Wearing socks. 




THE PERFECT HOLIDAY DRESS AND BEYOND

This dress. That's all I'm going to say today. This. Dress. I mean really, who would need another? I am completely obsessed.

I am finding with extra time at home I am becoming more of a shopping sleuth. I have shopped on Amazon forever, but never really for 'fa...
