a holiday look that you probably already have

JENNY ANDREWS December 12, 2019

i decided i want to be comfortable and warm this year without actually wearing sweats (unless they are these in which case i would totally wear them to any holiday party and be the most envied gal in attendance) but also still cute. and also room to hide the results of funneling tuna salad with extra mayo by way of a bbq potato chip into my mouth. srsly heaven if you haven’t ever.

enter the amazon tulle midi skirt delivered prime for about 30 bucks. just add any oversized, grandpa sweater, something bow-like in your hair, a sparkly ear and the least painful shoe you can manage. i will always choose a heel. can’t win em all i guess. i like these cowboy style ankle boots.

fact: i wore a velvet ribbon in my hair on my birthday and i never felt more feminine.

here are a few more to consider-

holiday gift guide - books!

JENNY ANDREWS December 11, 2019

i love books. i love to receive books. these are all the books i want or have and recommend this year.

starting off with the most coveted design book- francois halard: a visual diary. i have long loved the photography of francois halard and chances are if you love interior design you’ve seen plenty of his work. i’d be thrilled to own a compendium of his best work.

near and far by lisa fine - i have this book and it is amazing. all the gorgeous textiles and rich, bohemian vibes.

greco disco: the art and design of luke edward hall - perhaps number 1 on my book wishlist. i follow him on instagram and it’s safe to say i’m in love with everything he does.

beige is not a color by carlos mota - perhaps most surprising to me was this one. page after page of absolute inspiration. the very definition of eye candy.

2020 cabana magazine subscription - not a design book per se but probably about as close as you can get and honestly just as great. i have a few of these lying around the house and they are absolutely worthy of a coffee table. this subscription offers issues 14 and 15 due out in april of 2020 and october of 2020, respectively. so basically a spring and fall delivery that will delight any design lover. ok maybe not the joanna gaines types. you can also purchase past months here.

the last cCastle: the epic story of love, loss, and american royalty in the nation's largest home by denise kiernan - this is the story of the biltmore house. everyone in my family will love this one. every time we go to the biltmore house i wonder if there’s an actual story about all the shit that no one tells you. the GOOD shit. this is it. excited.

dynamite chicken from food52 - the andersons eat a lot of chicken. i’m running out of ideas.

inside tangier: house and gardens - as the title suggests it’s all the most gorgeous moroccan interiors. a vacation in a book. that said, i was pleasantly surprised that there were only a few riad type interiors. a lot of it was just that earthy, textile-y, layered, english vibe with a healthy does of pretty tile.

eat happy, too by anna vocino - the second book from the OG gluten free queen and my BFF. excellent, real food ingredients all low carb.

nothing fancy by alison roman - yes i have a crush on alison roman. really excited to get this one.

a garden can be anywhere: a guide to growing bountiful, beautiful, edible gardens by lauri kranz - first of all lauri kranz designs the most beautiful vegetable gardens i’ve ever seen. i think i’ve pinned them 100 times. second of all i love gardening. but i am really not very good at it. i love designing, planting and watching it all grow. but i hate watering, thinning, harvesting and watching it all die. so when lauri kranz offers a guide i am one thousand percent here for it.

a dictionary of color combinations - would make such a great gift for an artist or designer.

delight her

JENNY ANDREWS December 9, 2019

good morning! happy monday. friday was my birthday and i managed to get “i’ll-never-drink-again” drunk. lord have mercy. saturday was a blur. but after some mrs. maisel last night and essential oils i slept like a rock so i feel much better. and no, i haven’t had any more drinks and i honestly don’t see them in my foreseeable future.

i woke up this morning to a great email from my favorite internet shop- net-a-porter.

they are offering up to 60% off selected items. i went straight to the jewelry bc i’m pretty sure it makes a great gift. here are my some of my favorites:

1. rebecca de ravenel daisy clip earring - just the cutest. also surprisingly lightweight which is REALLY important in a clip-on earring.

2. chan luu gold plated pearl, shell and citrine earrings - just perfect. and 60% off! from $145 to $58.

3. paco rabanne chainmail scarf - never would not be cool on anyone any age.

4. chan luu gold plated pearl and crystal necklace - feminine and pretty and just enough pow.

5. 1064 studio gold plated and resin earring - for your coolest friend.

6. alessandra rich oversized silver tone crystal clip earrings - if you’ve got some cash lying around and want to treat someone special these are sure to please. the very definition of statement earring.

7. rosantica isola gold tone and resin earrings - just statement enough.

8. kyoto tango rainbow army resin bracelet - these are so great. easy to wear with just about anything. they come in all sorts of perfect muted colors and all are almost half off.

9. roxanne assoulin u-tube enamel hoop earrings - who would be mad at these? no one.

10. chan luu gold plated multi stone necklace - beach vacay vibes.

baubles and whatnots

in case you missed it…i have an amazon page. only the most special people have one. (jk anyone can have one).

it’s basically a page where i corral things i use and love. but also things that catch my eye or i’ve heard are awesome and want to try. you can see all of my “stores” here.

sidenote- this is a great spot for last minute holiday shopping. like this korean mask which is a pretty damn good dupe of the hanacure mask, but honestly so is this one- no kidding. or this french pharmacy grade HA that has a cult following.

ah but i digress. yes, you can shop all the things i’ve gathered but i’m really here to highlight the christmas store.

the best ornaments, ribbons and festive notions on all of amazon.

go take a peek!

holiday gift guide - teen girls

JENNY ANDREWS November 26, 2019

is there anyone more fun to shop for in theory?

i own a teenager and she’s a whole mood.

one part woman one part screaming toddler.

i think i have a handle on what just might put a smile on these creatures’ faces——

the astrology of you and me - survey says this is the age of aquarius. if it looks like magic and smells like magic it’s a great gift for a teen this year.

alphabet soup enamel bracelet - personalize it.

dr. martens platform combat boots - chances are she wants these.

weather predicting storm cloud - more magic. also cool. also great reviews.

amped fleece throw - i’d love one of these for sofa snuggles (with my cat bc my teen would never). comes in TWELVE colors.

6 mini macaron storage boxes - the cutest!

amika dry shampoo - according to the research this is the one they all want. perfect stocking stuffer.

roller skates - at press time this color was no longer available but there are still excellent colors left. i’m looking at you peach.

glossier gift card - the perfect gift for a make up loving teen. excellent stocking stuffer or stuff it into the caboodle (remember those?) below for a fun surprise.

caboodle - yes i had one. yes i still wish i did. comes in 14 color options.

mini beauty refrigerator - how cool is this even?!! what a time. i keep almost all of my masks and my jade roller in the fridge.

wireless bluetooth karaoke mic - this is all you need really.

LED photo string lights - the picture is pretty self explanatory. the internet tells me this is a popular gift.

polaroid camera - for making the above possible.

neo tarot deck - that magic thing again. i’m telling you the teens are into this rn. this one looks promising what with the “fresh approach to self-care, healing and empowerment” thing. also the art is cool.

schmidt’s natural sensitive skin deodorant in geranium flower- stuff this great smelling deo in her stocking. fiona and i both use this and have never smelled fresher. also love this scent.

killa zitsticka - kinda pricey for 8 zit patches but supposedly they work like wow. also it’s the holidays! give her two boxes.

croissant lamp - sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.

big bunch’a stickers - for all the things.

polished perfection straightening brush - i’ve seen this take the tightest of curls out of hair leaving behind soft, glossy straightness. not that you’d ever want her to do that. but she might. also it’s less damaging than a flat iron.

prismacolor colored pencils - 72 delicious hues. they really are the best cp’s out there.

real techniques everyday essentials - i have every one of these brushes and use them every day. fiona also uses them which isn’t ideal. so she’s getting her own set this year. you can’t beat the price and the quality is excellent.

teddy coat - in the most gorgeous blue.

that was fun.

ok, get to it.
