Wednesday On The Web

Apologies for the blog absence! But I can tell you I had a wonderful holiday. It was full of champagne, seafood, naps and snuggles with the dogs. Can’t get better than that! I’ll be back tomorrow sharing something I am super excited about from one of my favorite brands (rhymes with Mars). Meanwhile, here are some fun finds from around the web:

If I hadn’t snagged new hi-tops over the holiday, I would snap up these awesome sneakers in a hot minute.

Wednesday On The Web

I am looking forward to some celebration this weekend in the company of some of my oldest and best friends. And as I mentioned yesterday, I might be a little light on the posting until January due to my extreme festive mood this season. That and the decision to try and really focus on celebration and reflection. A short one today – a few finds from around the web that you might enjoy:

Things are likely to be a little light around here on the blog until we turn the clock to 2016. I have some trips planned and some fun family time. I’ve been in quite the spirit this year with two trees, stockings, christmas candles… (you get the picture). And that includes playing Santa. So here are some of my favorite gift ideas for those procrastinators out there:

Wednesday On The Web

The streets have finally calmed down after the madness of Black Friday and weekend shopping. But the good news is that I basically avoided it all by shopping online. Regular readers know that is my jam anyway. I picked up some great things at Rag & Bone and Amazon impulse buys (finally a humidifier with aromatherapy!). I am playing homebody even more this week and gearing up for holiday celebrations. Some finds from around the web this week:

This de-clutering article had me in stitches.
