Last minute holiday shopping

The holiday season is always a hectic time for shopping for loved ones, and we all know those few girls who are impossible to shop for, so I've put together a list of some of my favorite holiday gifts. With Christmas only a week away, you can use this gift list as a last minute guide for ideas and inspiration!

1.  Will You Be My Bridesmaid Cutout Cards & Envelopes: I absolutely love these cute and stylish cards from Firstsnowfall Etsy shop. A perfect personalized gift for the special girls in our life!

2. Marysia Swim Antibes Bikini: Exclusive to the Everything But Water, this is one of my favorite swimsuits this season. I even have the same one in white!

3. Momental Watercolor Tea Rose iPhone Case: I just love how gorgeous this case is. The perfect mix of color and detail, the impressionistic style of the art is beautifully reproduced for a one-of-a-kind look by artist Kristy Rice.

4. The Swan Queen Lace Kimono Robe: Our boudoir lace kimono is a perfect holiday gift for a special someone. Adds the perfect touch of sheer luxury to your lingerie collection. This robe is sure to make you look and feel amazing for a boudoir shoot, while getting ready for a special event, or even for a honeymoon.  It's made of breathtaking Chantilly lace with wide kimono sleeves, and comes with a soft tie silk belt.

Oh, February! Gift guide for Valentine's day and other celebrations

This is the time of the year that I enjoy the most. Why do I love February? Well, February is the month Valentine's Day falls on--which does happen to be the anniversary of my wedding proposal--but it's my favorite because the entire month exudes passion and romance as the anticipation of the coming Spring grows. Love is truly in the air this month!

Also, my birthday is on Feb 29 (yeah, no birthday this year...but the perfect excuse for a entire weekend celebration!)

A few lovely links:

1.Silk by Bryony digital printed scarf. Oooooh...silk & cherry blossoms...what a perfect combination. I've been dreaming of this scarf; hopefully, it'll make it to my closet this month!

2. Oh my stars, I love you print--I love this beautiful, hand-lettered print by Kelly Cummings via Southern wedding-the shop. It's so pretty and will make a lovely gift for Valentines day or any special occasion. 

3. I'm daydreaming of a beach weekend, and maybe it's because it's summer in my beloved hometown. The Honolulu bikini pictured in jungle berry is my new favorite from Marysia swim. Marysia has quickly become one of my favorite swimsuit designers. I have to share with you that their suits have an incredible fit (most important thing to me when it comes to swim suits), the quality of their fabrics is amazing, and their designs are so unique! I currently own a one piece and two bikinis and I have to say that I adore them and hope I can add more to my collection soon. 

4. I can't wait to try the new Valentina Assoluto. It is inspired by the floral notes of the original Valentina perfume from 2011, but this one is "much more nocturnal, and more seductive."  I love the dreamy silhouette of the bottle.  

5. How cute is this brushed rose leather pouch from Ann-ya? I love the abstract pink print and the simple, yet interesting design of this must-have clutch.

6. These chic Chloe ballet flats are one of a kind. I own them and they are the most comfortable shoes ever and the cutest too. They have become a wardrobe essential to me. They really turn heads.

7. The First Date Silk scalloped blouse in off white is one of my favorite designs. It has a vintage-yet-modern look in a flattering silhouette in a must have color.
