{wear} grey flannel accessories
I am really into grey flannel accessories right now. They are so luxe and cozy. The flannel is especially lovely paired with silver accents.
2 of Oprah’s Favorite Things this year were this pair of shoes and tote bag by Tory Burch, both super chic in grey flannel.
Kate Spade’s done 3 grey flannel handbags.
AND at least four pairs of shoes:
Sweet grey flannel flats by Pour La Victoire.
Kenneth Cole has a fab flannel satchel.
Bourne has a lovely pump with sparkly embellishment.
Even Target has an adorable grey flannel rainboot!
giuseppe zanotti rhinestone peeptoe pumps {inspire}
I just got an email from Bloomingdales featuring these incredible Giuseppe Zamotti rhinestone peeptoe pumps. I mean, seriously, they are beyond fabulous (and beyond expensive at $1,200). I hope we get to see these on a celebrity or socialite soon. If I had that kind of money, you can rest assured that I would have already ordered them. They are the ultimate sparkly shoe – perfect for New Year’s Eve.
DYING.
o christmas tree {decorate}
Husband and I bought and decorated our Christmas tree over the weekend. Now our apartment looks and smells like Christmas! Heaven.
We bought LED lights this year – lovely faceted warm white globes by Martha Stewart at Home Depot.
We also ended up buying the velvet Pottery Barn tree skirt I blogged about here. It is beautiful.
{wear} echo design touch gloves
It is thoroughly irritating to have to take off your gloves to use your touch screen phone when the weather is cold. Enter Echo Design Touch Gloves. There’s a special fabric on the index finger and thumb that makes them compatible with your iphone. Genius.

{decorate} with jonathan adler menorahs
Husband is Jewish, so in our house we celebrate Chanukah and Christmas. We have a beautiful old menorah from Husband’s father, but I’d like to get one of these fabulous swanky versions from Jonathan Adler as well.
The Peacock Menorah:
The Utopia Man/Woman Menorah:
The Hex Enamel Menorah:
I think the peacock is my favorite!
Happy Chanukah!
{bake} apple pie
So, the man at Williams-Sonoma was right, this pie plate really did make a huge difference. My apple pie was fantastic!
I used the recipe in Martha Stewart’s Cooking School (which, btw, is the best cookbook for learning all the basics). Her crust is perfection.
YUM.
