Christmas List-making

I know it's not even Halloween yet, but I've started my Christmas list. Actually, I'm a bit late this year. I like to start in August (since I get paid only once a month) for budgetary reasons. Every year it gets harder and harder to shop for gifts for my family. None of us really NEED anything and while giftcards/$ is more practical it's still nice to have something to open up.  Also, I do like to put a bit of thought into it to show I care.  So here are a few ideas for this year.

 
Luna Lemon Zest Bars
 
I think these would be great stocking stuffers, I prefer the Lemon Zest flavor, they have a variety.
 

Set of 8 Classic stories from LTD Commodities
 
Possibly for my Godson, but I don't think he's much of a reader, or I may get these for my close girlfriends as a kind of a nostalgic gift.
 

State Dishtowels from Uncommon Goods
 
I'm thinking for my brother and sister-in-law. He's from PA, she's from Illinois and they live on Colorado, so that would be a cute set. 
 
 
 
Organ Pillows also from Uncommon Goods
 
These are a riot, but I really don't have a good candidate for this gift.  I mean, they are way too quirky for a parent gift and I don't think my boss would appreicate a "heart" pillow. Maybe for my Godson, we shall see.
 
So, who else has started Christmas Shopping/List making?

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

Mid-Summer Sales!!!!

It's time for one of my all time favorite summer activities! No, not bbq and fireworks, but the mid-summer/4th of July sales!!! There are bargains to be had everywhere you turn and I've already scored some deals here this past week!  From Zara 's Sale: Waistband Trousers Oversized Tee From J.Crew : Linen Shorts Side-Slit Tee And a few pieces I'm thinking of from ModCloth : ModCloth T-Shirt Dress Chambray Tunic True, these pieces are a bit "basic" but I'm thinking of the 80/20 Wardrobe Plan . 80% of your closet serves as foundation/workhorse pieces with 20% consisting of statement, more fanciful items. Like this "coatigan" from Nasty Gal Wool Coatigan Just think how this coat/cardi hybrid will pop against the t-shirt dress above, and/or the grey pants and either t-shirt, for a solid 80/20 outfit!  Regardless of how you approach your mid-season shopping the point is to get up on the
