Best of Anthropologie....

Last month I decided to start a new monthly series entitled "Best Of..." If you missed it, you can click here, and see my Best Of Kate Spade compilation. 

This month I am sharing some of my favorite picks from Anthropologie!

Bathing Suit

Candles

Necklace

Cup and Saucer

Anthropologie is probably my favorite store to just wander through and look. There is a store a block away from my Santa Barbara office and I always find myself in there smelling all of the candles. 

Which one of my favorites is your favorite!?!

Gallery Wall

I'm a huge fan of a bold gallery wall and -- lucky for me -- Hubby is amazing at hanging perfectly spaced picture frames. 

I purchased a vintage travel calendar from Anthropologie when I was in college and I had three of the prints hanging in my law school apartment. 

When Hubby and I moved to our new house in December, we knew we wanted to frame more of the prints to make a statement in our kitchen. 

We ended up framing eight prints and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. 

The frames are from Ikea and include the matting. We hung the frames an inch apart from one another. 

My favorite print is the one on the top left with the blonde girl heading out to travel the world. 

Frames | Ikea

Paint Color | Valspar Urban Sunrise

Cabinet | Target

As I mentioned above, the prints are from a travel calendar I purchased close to six years ago. It is obviously no longer available, but -- have no fear --  Anthropologie has some incredibly gorgeous frame worthy calendars that are sure to pack a punch on any wall! Below are my favorites:

Cities Calendar

Travel Calendar

Alice in Wonderland

Curious Creatures

Coffee and Tea

Has anyone created a gallery wall? Did you go for symmetrical or more free flowing?

It's Sunny Somewhere... (Right?)

It has been so cold in San Antonio lately. I'm talking chilled to the bone, in need of a hot cup of tea, wrapped in a blanket, cold!

While the temperatures on the east coast and up north are incredibly chillier than where I'm at, I think most of the US is experiencing a cold front right about now -- except my friends in California. Enjoy the sunshine for me, y'all!

At some point the temps have to increase. Right? And it will be bathing suit season before we know it!

I've trolled the web for some of the cutest suits of the season! Enjoy!

Holiday Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers for Him

Opening stockings on Christmas morning is one of my all time favorite holiday traditions! My mom always fills my Dad's stocking with things he really needs, but doesn't necessarily want to buy -- underwear, undershirts, socks, etc.

Now that Kir and I are married, my mom (er... Santa?) is tasked with finding "fun" stocking stuffers for the boys!

Below are some little gifts that any guy would love to get!

Uncommon Goods: DIY Construction Desk Organizers

C.O. Bigelow: Premium Shave Cream

Anthropologie: Brooklyn Brew Shop Beer Making Kit

Urban Outfitters: World's Smallest Walkie Talkie

The Tie Bar: Bicycle Chambray Skinny Tie

J. Crew: Wool Plaid Sock

What are you filling up the "man stockings" with this year?

Holiday Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers for Her

Opening stockings on Christmas morning is probably one of my favorite traditions. When we were kids, the rule was that we could open our stockings as soon as we woke up, but no presents until the parents had at least one cup of coffee! 

There is something so magical and mysterious about little gifts jam packed inside a stocking! 

Below is a fabulous selection of stocking stuffers that any gal would likely love to find hanging by the mantle! 

BK Soap Co: Oatmeal, Milk and Honey Bath Bomb

Anthropologie: Jeweled Orbit Hoops

Urban Outfitters: Portable Phone Charger

Santa Barbara Aromatics: Montecito Pure Soy Joy Candle

Anthropologie: Apivita Face Mask

What are you stuffing your stockings with this year?
