C Wonder

Apparently, as the holidays approach it seems that the hours in the day dwindle. Is anyone else having this problem? It seems as though all the hours are going to designing, creating, and Christmas shopping. I'm not complaining though since I enjoy all of these tasks. However, I do feel like I'm falling behind on the blogging and jewelry aspect. I've finally gone through all the Europe pictures (it took an hour and a half) but haven't for the life in me figured out how to blog about all the fun we had. On the more pressing topics I've put more necklaces up on the website and am completely open for Christmas shopping! Speaking of shopping, I'm getting close to finishing up our Christmas shopping. This is insanely early for me! But I can credit half of that to the new SoHo store C Wonder. I've been reading about it for about a month and finally went in yesterday. Oh my did I fall in love. It has preppy clothes (that reminded me slightly of Tory Burch's style) jewelry, and then loads of trinkets for your house. It is decorated fabulously and I can't wait to go back. Although, our bank account thinks I should wait a while.

I normally hate things on my kitchen counters but I think I could have made an exception for these nesting bowls!!

 Random Knick Knacks

 They had such cute dog plates - I almost bought the "Tucker" plate

 Even the store flag and door are cool and attractive. 

Montauk to NYC

Going from Montauk and now back to the city. However, this week in the city is spent with Mom! It's always fun when "visitors" come in town because that means shopping, dinners, and plays. That is exactly what we did yesterday. Here's the rundown:

Exercise video in the AM

Walk to South St to buy 50% off Broadway tickets

Shake Shack burger, fries, and of course a shake

SHOP

Fig & Olive for an early pre-play dinner (I love this place)

Broadway play - Memphis (awesome and yall should see it!)

Magnolia Bakery for cookies

Sleep

We'll see what today holds for us. I'm hoping a warm lentil salad from Alice's Tea Cup (and a scone)

Neck What?

It's been quite chilly outside which means all the scarves are being busted out. However, I'm second guessing myself with my old scarves since there is a new fashion wave with the neck tube/shrug. It seems that the scarf is becoming the understudy. As I was playing on-line this morning I kept coming across these neck tubes on almost every fashion site. If you haven't seen them yet here are a few examples from high end to H&M affordable. My friend from high school,Timo Weiland somewhat started this trend a couple of years ago with his neck bow and skinny tie but now has the "draped collar in silk." This was when he was just starting out in the fashion world.

(Oh and by the way, H&M is really expanding their cities! They are now in Orlando FL, Edina MN, and coming to Raleigh. And for the men, they will be selling Jimmy Choo shoes come Nov. 14.)

Bop Basics $68

Faux Fur $75

Cashmere $175

Ella Moss $135 or take 30% off at Bloomingdales

Wouldn't this hat look great with a neck tube? I have been eyeing this little lovely at Anthropologie for a month now. $38

So I guess it's the season to adorn the neck...don't forget about custom necklaces or ready made necklaces at SMD!
