Gorgeous Wrap + Cards for the Holidays

I’m a bit obsessed with blue and green together right now {not to mention polka dots!}, so I’m loving this holiday look that isn’t too jolly looking by Creature Comforts. The hints of red remind you of the season, but without it, much of this could be used for Hanukkah, birthdays {as Capricorns hate getting gifts wrapped in Christmas paper}, or  even year round for anniversaries or just because gifts. {If blue/green isn’t your thing, she’s got other color combos on her blog}

Tomorrow– my wrapping look to match my tree!

Post Event: Foot Care

I run around a lot when I manage an event. I’m greeting and managing vendors, setting up things, and triple checking the details. After an event {and often 10 hours or more standing} my feet will be sore and in need of some TLC. Often I get a pedicure and let a professional take care of it, but some times I don’t feel like leaving my apartment. On those days, I’m grateful for these foot care recipes from Design*Sponge for an invigorating soak and scrub.

Sparkling Book Club

I’m missing my book club girls back in New York. They met this week without me– as they should. I guess I need to find one here in DC!

I’m loving this beautiful book club meeting via The Sweetest Occasion. I hosted a lot (as you may have seen here), but they were never this fancy. It inspires me to elevate them– should I find a new one!

I have lots of exciting things planned for next week– and time this weekend to get them all together. Especially because….I heard it might snow here tomorrow! What?!

I hope you have a great– and warm– weekend!! xoxo
