Seasonal Wishes
Our office will be closed over the next week in celebration of the holidays, so blogging between now and the New Year will be light. We wish you the happiest of holiday seasons!
Homemade Holiday
Receiving a homemade or personalized gift is always lovely because you know that someone took the time to really think about you. This holiday, I wanted to make a few homemade gifts; because I haven’t really done this before (aside from baking), I decided to make a small batch, so only a couple friends received them this year.
I ended up creating a version of the Hot Cocoa Mix from Real Simple‘s December issue. Paired with chic mugs and handwritten instructions – all tied up in a basket, I was really pleased with how it turned out. I definitely think I’ll get craftier next year! Are you giving (or have you received) homemade gifts this year?
Hanging By…
I spotted this beautiful image on the blog of talented photographer Bonnie Tsang and was immediately enchanted by it. The idea of hanging candles is hardly new, but the combination with the vintage birdcages is unexpected…this would also be so lovely when lit up at night. (This was part of wedding decor, but I think it could also work for a simple backyard party.)
P.S. Don’t you just love Bonnie’s photography?
Lovable Lamp
I’ve been coveting this stunning crystal block table lamp from Restoration Hardware for months now. Sadly, it’s way out of my budget – but in my dreams, it would sit prettily on a complementary sleek oversized white table for my office.
Quail Bridal
I spotted these pretty and playful photos from Quail‘s bridal collection on Brooklyn Bride a couple weeks ago and thought they were just adorable. I wouldn’t mind being a bridesmaid in one of these dresses!
Sneak Peek: Spring at Bambako
We’re obsessing over the spring collection at Bambako, which will formally debut in early 2010. Below is a sneak peek of a few styles and even better, the designer is holding an online sample sale for some of these styles through Saturday only. Head over to Bambako.com to order!
Working with Bloggers
Social media should be a facet of every company’s marketing plan today, and we would venture to say that it’s even more essential for up-and-coming brands. As a crucial part of social media, bloggers are one of the best resources in helping spread the word about the newest, latest and greatest. We asked a few of our favorite bloggers for their best tips on how to work with them. Check them out below:
Enjoying The Rain
It was pouring rain late last week here in Los Angeles and I absolutely loved it since it happens so rarely. It’s already sunny again, but this photograph taken by Irene Suchoki captured my mood perfectly a few days ago.
