gift guide : for that beatiful gal that you love

unruly things gift guide for her

this list is part of my own wish-list this year as well as some gifts that would be perfect for your wife, girlfriend, sister or best friend.  it’s the stuff that she loves and makes her feel beautiful.

one : that parka she’s been coveting / two : a greenpan skillet for perfecting fried eggs / three : a cookbook all about her favorite meal of the day / four : a cardcase monogrammed with her initials / five : a new perfume with woodsy notes of jasmine and chai tea / six : moon earrings so her son can see the moon all day / seven : a pair of lounge pants {now sold out}, perfect for snuggling with a hot cup of tea / eight : a colorful hat that brightens up her mostly black wardrobe / nine : a terrarium to keep on her nightstand / ten : cozy wool slippers to warm her feet all winter long / eleven : a throw blanket for extra chilly nights

gift guide : for your beautiful mother

unruly things gift guide for mom

whenever I think of what to get my mom for Christmas, I always think of things that I would want for myself.  do you do that too?  I always picture cozy and practical.  I still haven’t decided what I’m getting my mom, but just about everything from this list sings her name.

one : a cardigan in her favorite color / two : a bold polish color / three : the lightest weight, yet warm merino shawl / four : an initial necklace with her favorite grandson’s initial that she can add on to / five : cashmere lined leather gloves / six : the prettiest notepad for jotting thoughts / seven : a few leather pouches for organizing her purse / eight : a few ounces of your favorite chai tea / nine : a new mug to enjoy it from / ten : the best face lotion on the planet / eleven : cozy slippers / twelve : a subscription to a beautiful quarterly magazine to enjoy all year {the last day to order is this Sunday, Dec. 9!}

introducing little knot!

Little Knot

hi friends!  happy thanksgiving!  I hope you’re having a wonderful day.  I’m thrilled to finally share a big project I’ve been working on with you – Little Knot, a collection of kids bow ties developed in collaboration with General Knot.  our first collection includes hand-picked vintage fabrics and three exclusive prints designed by yours truly.

Little Knot

Andrew Payne of General Knot contacted me way back in January with the prospect of a collaboration. after many emails back and forth, I suggested the idea of developing a kids line for General Knot, and Little Knot was born.  working with Andrew, we collected, curated and paired select fabrics for the collection.  I also designed the logo, which was a combo of hand lettering and vintage typefaces.

Little Knot

Little Knot is available from the General Knot website in limited editions.  I couldn’t possibly be more thrilled with the outcome.  I’ll post a few pics of my sharp dressed little man in his very own little knot.  I hope you like them, see more here!!

festive chocolates

mast-chocolates

every year, my mom and I would pick out Godiva chocolate bars for my teachers, the mailman, our yard man and anyone else who we felt deserved a small “we’ve thought of you this Christmas” gift.  wouldn’t these fancy chocolate bars from Mast Brothers be a perfect twist on tradition?  the packaging is so festive.
