1. Fable And Fury Jewelry: A friend pointed me in the direction of Fable And Fury after discovering their stainless steel Malcolm McDowell pendant, and it didn't take long for me to fall in love with their entire collection of handmade jewelry. The pieces above are on my "to-buy" wishlist so far.
2. Peppermint Nails!: Instead of wearing a Santa hat, or an ugly Christmas sweater (although I do love them ever so much), I opted to give my nails a little holiday makeover last night in the form of a candy cane themed manicure. Here's a quick and easy DIY Tutorial if you feel like getting the look at home.
3. Betsey Johnson's Love Birds Ring: Sticking with the theme of unique jewelry and making my fingers look pretty, I've fallen head over heels for this ring. Part of Betsey's "Rose Garden Collection", it's right up my alley of cute and quirky (much like my spider cuff bracelet by the fabulous Miss Johnson that I splurged on a couple of months ago). Once I'm done Christmas shopping, I think I may treat myself a little... Again.
4. My batshit insane Christmas cards!: Every year, if my schedule permits, I like to take the time to make cheesy arts & crafts styled (and often inappropriate) Christmas cards for some of my friends and family. This year, I had the time- and the results were interesting, to say the least. The card above went out to my dear friend Jimmy in San Diego- and I think it might be one of my favorites.
5. The Black Keys' new album, "El Camino": I have so much love for The Black Keys. I can say with all confidence that all of their songs are irresistibly gritty and catchy. Yes, all of them. The tracks off of their latest, "El Camino", are no different in terms of quality and badass-ery. I'm hooked. This album is perfect company for a long drive.
Speaking of, I'll be on a long drive come tomorrow morning when I head to NYC for the weekend. I'm still in the process of hastily packing my bag- so I'm off!
See you all when I get back!
