So it's here again! Can you believe another year has flown by, in what seems like the blink of an eye! I can't even get around the concept of shopping right now, I can barely fathom that I missed Summer! Well, if you're as stressed, or resistant to the crowds and Holiday Madness that goes along with the season as I am, let me offer some assistance... I bet you I can knock off everyone on your list this year with a one stop shop!
The reason I LOVE being a curator on
OpenSky.com is because I'm choosing all of my favorite items! I hand pick things that I would love to give or receive, and I truly think there's something for everyone! Check out my PERFECT PICKS!
For the Kids, or the Kids at heart...
Avoiding clowns just got a little easier... Now you can enjoy balloon
animals in the safety of your own home with a classic poodle-shaped
bookend. A colorful piece like this will surely give your boring
bookshelf some major personality.
I love this thing! It's like a fabulous piggy bank for grown-ups. It has
just the right amount of whimsy mixed with the right amount of chic.
Decorate with soothing strands of glow in the dark wall decals and
gently light your child's night without electricity or
recharging. Arrange these beaming babies in any space – they're
removable, reusable, and won't damage walls.
For the Guys in your life...
A dark and mysterious shot glass with an animal's head as a base. All
the animals are designed to balance on their nose and ears/horns when
placed as a bottom. Can be used as a candle holder, paper weight or
simply for décor.
This chic travel set is a throwback to the days when air travel was a
stylish affair...so Mad Men! Channel your inner Don Draper with handsome
neck pillow and eye mask, and tote your personal effects in a handsome
toiletry bag.
For the special Ladies in your life...
I LOVE a good antler moment. That's why these jewelry stands are
uh-mazing! If ever there were something that totally read
boy-meets-girl, this would be it.
Antlers usually have me thinking of rugged taxidermy fit for a log
cabin, but the glossy white finish gives it an über chic touch. I know
these are ridiculously kitschy, but they're so useful. And who doesn't
love something that's pretty but actually does something too?
As you know, my design MO is all about cool, contemporary items that feature a kind of raw beauty, so I'm
living for
these bulb vases. Each one is slightly unique because they're made of
recycled glass, and the colors are totally gorgeous and add a dash of
sophistication—love!
I love planting bulbs in these—the exposed roots are an edgy
counterpoint to a fabulous bloom on top— but if that feels like too much
work, a bouquet of cut flowers is equally fabulous!
For any important person, that deserves some love from you this year...
There's nothing like catching up on my leaning tower of design magazines
when it's cold out. In between days when I can pour through everything
cover-to-cover, I chuck my reading material into this chic felt tote--it
makes my mess of magazines look neat and somewhat organized. Lifesaver!
These contemporary frames fit the bill perfectly. They're made from
plexiglass (a decorator's best kept secret), and the borderless design
makes it super easy to pop in prints and cards without the cost or
permanence of framing. The art is held together with magnets, which
makes for sleek effect, ensuring that your art is the star of the
show. Genius!
This reversible blanket is my total essential for kicking off the Fall
season. With water-resistant PVC on one side and snuggly fleece on the
other, its perfect for every occasion from outdoor sporting events to
family picnics. My go-to for drama-free excursions and enjoying the
great outdoors!
Tell me I don't have you covered!
