Ski Bunny vs. Island Getaway

I don’t know about you, but right about now, I’m in need of a vacation or two. Snow days are welcomed but not quite the same as a vacay.

How about a ski weekend (or perhaps just a spa weekend in my case – not exactly that skilled on the slopes; I’ll join for apres ski?) or better yet, an island getaway (read: BEACH)? And what’s better than planning one of these excursions? Shopping for them.

For those of you with upcoming long weekends and Spring breaks (okay, that might be a little far off but I’m still jealous), here are my must-haves for you.

Make.My.Monday with Dubarry of Ireland

For today’s Make.My.Monday, I thought I would share one of most loved Christmas gifts this year (from my little sister, Megan Elizabeth).

Dubarry of Ireland has the most adorable fur and fleece boot liners to keep you warm this winter. Plus, they’re Irish and I might be a little bias about that but they do fit perfectly in a pair of Hunter Boots. AND with the majority of the country feeling like the Arctic, it’s the perfect time to purchase your own pair.

Dubarry also has some of the cutest and warmest winter/fur accessories.

Fur Snood, anyone?

New Year’s Eve Looks

While I don’t want to outshine the Christmas season, it’s also time to start shopping for the New Year’s Eve looks & dresses! 2014 will be here before we know it!

Oh and most of my holi-dress picks & Kirribilla dresses would double perfectly for the last day of the year too!

These are a few of my favorite things….

In light of my “Favorite Things” Party this past week, I thought I’d share a few of my other favorite things lately. Call it a gift guide if you must (better yet; a Christmas list).

1. Rewined Holiday Candles – Wine Under the Tree + Root 1: Carmenere are my two picks (c/o*).

Watch the AMAZING video below to learn more about my favorite candles from Rewined + their new scent! These make perfect gifts for just about anyone. West Elm also sells a few of their candles.
