Gold Rush

Gold Rush


Foiled, metallic, bronzed, sequined or sparkled- It's no secret that gold is everywhere. Not just for the holidays either, I love that gold easily works in every season. From a sequin sleeve parka to metallic rinse jeans I can't get enough and hope it doesn't fade to silver any time soon.While perusing Nordstrom, I came across this glorious gold cable knit sweater...here it is along with all the other golden flecks that are catching my eye lately.
*Also found these two gold sweaters on Piperlime...each under $100: Sabine Foiled Pullover Numph Metalic Pullover

Stocking Stuffers for the Mr&Mrs&Pup!

Still working on your Christmas shopping?! Me too!! Here are a few of my picks for great stocking stuffers!

For The Mr.
My Husband loves The North Face tech gloves. He can stay warm and toasty during his commute...reading my blog as he waits for the train. (Of course I'm not adding anything that will spoil what's in your stocking this year, dear :) I have a tendency to spill the beans...I get too excited to gift give!!
 
I don't think you can go wrong with anything by Smather's and Branson. I already gifted the hubs with their Boston Red Sox key fob (joy to the World Series!!!) I also love that you can personalize these gifts.  
 
L.L. Bean's  Wicked Good Slippers. These are so comfy, tried and true. No other slipper compares to these New England made staples.
 
I honestly want to get the hubs Signature Tartan everything from Brooks Brothers this season. He wore this tie to my sister's wedding this fall and it's a handsome one.


For The Mrs.
Sea-salted hair for The Sea Salted Blonde...how fitting! I've been wanting to try this texturizing spray for a while now. Beachy hair in a bottle during a Connecticut winter? I'll take it!

Speaking of hair...my post-wedding hair chop brings my hair about two inches below my shoulders and I am desperately missing my long locks. I wouldn't mind pulling some faux strands out of my stocking. I haven't seen this in person at H&M but for just $13 this would make a pretty ponytail not to mention a great top-knot. (Available in other shades)
 
I apologize but I could just not get a clear picture of this nautical Traveler Watch for the life of me but I HAD to include it. Vintage-inspired, nautical & has this blogger's name written all over it. Click the link to see it in all it's prettiness...did I mention it's only $28?!
 
These small paintings by Elizabeth Mayville are so lovely. I feel like this braid print is of me! She has beautiful work on her etsy shop.
 
 
For the Pup
I'm sure Baxter would appreciate this gold dipped Milk Bone on the tree.
 
Ok, so more for the pet owner. A follow up to Klam's heartwarming memoir You Had Me At Woof. I can't wait to dive into this book! 
 
 How adorable is this bow-tie collar?! Baxter will look oh so dapper...
Give your studious pup something to chew on...too cute!
 
 
 
Happy Holiday Shopping Loves!!

Classics With a Talbots Twist: Looks I'm Loving

Curled up by the fire this afternoon, coffee in hand, I was ready to conquer the last of my holiday shopping online...next thing I knew, I was pinning away new arrivals from Talbots. The looks I am loving are too lovely not to share!

Obsessed with all the plaid pieces this season but this black watch plaid jacket may just take the cake. I love how tailored it is...and not without a twist: the pimento red lined collar.
Sparkle&Spots! These are adorable and so fun. I've tried to add bigger leopard pieces to my wardrobe but for me, I really think accessorizing with pops of this print works best.
Another perfect jacket...and with gold buttons. There are a number of color options to choose from in this classic style.
Perfectly preppy and a fab way to step out in plaid this season.
Gorge...and I love the little bit of collar on this faux.
Finishing touch: Leopard and a Bow 
This belt is perfection in my book.
