adding holiday elements

cute little trees bought this past weekend while visiting my parents ( thanks Mom! )


+ my favorite Brian Gluckstein glass hurricane with a soy candle

+ my entry.. see ya DIY art, the holidays are moving in :)

I find myself pre planning my holiday look this year. It's going to be subtle. I have all my stuff organised in the basement, and am fitting together in my mind where it's going. I am doing everything I can to avoid the 'haul up 8 boxes that were randomly packed because I just had to get all the decorations put away because I was sick of looking at them, now it's time to decorate again and I should have thought this out because now I just have 8 boxes of stuff I have to put somewhere, but where?' You know what I mean?

Visit Rikshaw Design to see my holiday gifting ideas, and don't forget to enter the giveaway, today's the last day!

a very cool give-away at rikshaw design

if you are a new mom, expecting, or have any friends that are ( attn: my friends who are, I am trying to win these for you too :) you have to head over to rikshaw design to check out this giveaway!

I am all about comfort-

When Rikshaw Designs Gold Kurta came back into stock, I quickly ordered one. After hearing how much my friend Paula liked hers, and my love for Lauren's duvet.. I knew I needed one of these tunics. Last week I threw it on with leggings, flats and a Madewell cardigan, ( it's been COLD here! ) and I loved it.. so perfect and comfortable-

oh, and a little sneak peak of me in my new reading glasses.. one part of the headache problem solved.. more on that later-

Happy Monday :)

rikshaw in my house

This is Laurens rikshaw design taj duvet... I adore it so much... I wish it came in king-



I surprised her when I put it on her bed, and whispered to her ( she's 2.5 ) that I had a surprise in her room... she snuggled into it, said "Mommy! It's beautiful", then proceeded to put her hands on my cheeks, kiss me and tell me " thank you mommy, I love it ".

I'm still smiling about it-

welcome sponsor, rikshaw design

I'm a little jealous.
Lauren ( my daughter ) has the Rikshaw Design taj duvet cover in pink. It is the most divine, gorgeous and amazing duvet cover I have ever laid my eyes on, and I've looked at, touched ( and sold ) alot of duvets. You know the perfect balance of light and soft? This is it. And you can bet each amazing article of Rikshaw goodness is made out of this amazing cotton.

The prints and designs for babies, ladies and decor are so lovely, as is the amazing woman behind it all! Welcome Catherine and Rikshaw Design, so glad to have you here! xx

Catherine Fitzsimmons, the lady behind it all. Who was just recently featured in Lonny Magazine. How fabulous, I truly hope sales are through the roof because not only is the product gorgeous, but Catherine is so lovely. I may contribute with my love of the women's kurta's and the bedding. Wait, do you know anyone expecting? Oh the joy a Rikshaw gift would bring. Perhaps a camel pillow and sunhat? Or bloomers a sun hat and a diaper pouch?What fun the bedding would bring to my girls rooms. I am crazy about mixing patterns in their rooms and the euro shams would be lovely on their beds. Whimsy, boho and brilliance. It's simple and it's fabulous.

Catherine, that is a space that I would LOVE to see more of.. a feature maybe? :)

Cool!

Our women's kurta has a tunic fit, it comes down long enough to wear over a swimsuit. Lightweight and the softest 100% cotton voile that we think is a wardrobe must-have! hand-whipstitching along the sleeves and bottom hem give it that special touch. machine wash cold. line dry recommended.
