Hanging My Stocking

Welcome to my xmas fantasy!

This is where I hang (and fill) my own Christmas stocking.

Carolina George Palm Beach

Isn't this mantel the perfect amount of mod and glam?! Well done, Carolina George.

I searched high and low for a stocking that meets my decor tastes. These are from West Elm. LOVE the pompoms!

As we enter the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, let's take a moment to think about ourselves just for a moment.

Because more than likely we are making sure this season is perfect for everyone around us. But, if we were Santa, what would we be putting in our own stockings??

Amaryllis / Kari Gran / Bumble + Bumble / Tassel Bracelet / Dress / Foo Fighters Tickets / Chandelier Earrings / Pura Vida Bracelets / NYTimes Crossword Puzzles

These are a few of my favorite things lately. My face and hair feel (and smell!) so good with Kari Gran rosewater tonic and Bumble + Bumble's Straight Blow-Dry. A stack of bracelets, and especially one with a tassel, are fun. Likewise I am all about the chandelier earrings lately. This dress looks like it could pack well, which is how I justify putting it in my stocking. LOVE those sunset colors. The Foo Fighters are celebrating their 20th anniversary with an AMAZING line-up (think LL Cool J, Joan Jett, and Buddy Guy). Tickets to the Fourth of July concert in Washington, D.C., would be a great way to spread the gift out over the entire year. An amaryllis bulb to grow and a slim book of New York Times crossword puzzles to solve would make all my days merry & bright.

Under my tree, I am still hoping for this DVD set that bunches of my friends have gotten recently and these boots, which I wrote about yesterday. And, of course, lots and lots of books!!!

I could also eat my own weight in these and always always LOVE gift cards from here.

What is your winter holiday tradition? What would you put on your wish list?
