Today's gift guide comes from stylist extraordinaire, Ms. Melina of
Coco Canal. Melina has a killer sense of street style, is always a step ahead of the trends and is not afraid to take fashion risks. I wouldn't mind accompanying Melina on #3.
1:: I love to snuggle up on the couch with friends for a cozy night in and this
Pendelton blanket I've been eyeing for a while. It doesn't hurt that I love the pattern and color combo. {$218}
2:: I'm really into hats right now and when
Miu Miu sent wool caps down the runway I swooned. Casual chic at its best! {$395}
3:: In a perfect world I would make enough money to take a week's vacation to this castle in the sky--well in a tree house in La Piantata, Italy at least.
4::
Sex and the City never gets old to me. This book has an image of every ensemble worn by all four leading ladies and the designer name/description for each piece in the look. I mean! {$20}
5:: If I didn't work in fashion I would be a chef. How adorable would a date be at
The Brooklyn Kitchen for a couple's cooking class or for a
pre-
bachelorette party?! {prices vary on the type of class}
6:: Head over heels in love with these fringe boots by
Isabel Marant. I'm a sucker for anything with fringe and a wedge has proven to be my best friend for work and life walking the city. {$2,200}
7:: Last Christmas I signed up for an
Instagram account and finally found something to do with all the images. Head over to
Casetagram and you can make a case with images from your account--Genius! {$35}
8:: Like I said before, I love to cook and this
mortar and pestle works for anything from guacamole to dressings and spice rubs. {$50}
9:: I'm always looking for a special touch when it comes to accessories. I would be over the moon to receive these
collar clips in my stocking this year to add some
pizzaz to any button down. {$18}
10:: The holidays can't always be about me. I stumbled upon this wine company,
Swanson Wine, and think the bottles are the cutest gift ever. A congratulations, I'm sorry, Just Married...Thoughtful and adorable. {$25}
