Christmas shopping madness...what to buy?

     I am completely utterly unprepared for what to get the people in my life for Christmas.  Lord knows there are worse problems to have, but shopping at Christmas starts to become a bit desperate after a certain point don't you think?  We all get to that place where we are running to Walgreens to get one more thing on Christmas Eve, because the piles look uneven!!!  And someone might really want that singing hamster on Christmas morning right?!  So here are some things that I'm loving that might work before you get to that point...
Velvet loafers are all the rage and you can get them lots of places in all kinds of price points...
Found these at Zara for a steal...39.50 
cha ching!
These fab ones come in green and a pale gray from Urban Outfitters...

Fab faux fur everything...
I'm going for Kiera's look in Anna Karenina, which was sadly real fur me thinks, but gorgeous...
This is a Michael Kors neck warmer, or snood, I'm sorry I laugh every time I say snood...it's so very snoody...not bad for 59 bones...

And lord knows we need a good concealer.  I was only using YSL's Touche Eclat, which is an illuminator and great to stick in your purse for mid afternoon touch ups...a wee bit expensive for 40 gold fish crackers...


but from my lack of sleep of the past few weeks, I had to head over to Sephora for the big guns, Laura Mercier's The Flawless Face Book for $59.00...this people, works a minor miracle...

Snuggly cozy blanket...
The thing is that I walk around my house wrapped in various blankets during the winter, but my personal fave are the Threshold Microplush Blankets ones from Target ranging in price from $22.99-$29.99...


Big D prefers my collection of vintage, and is horrified by the synthetic whatever that is wrapped around me at any given time, but it is what it is people!  Here's to Big D's blanket choice du jour, which for the record I love too, but they're not quite as snuggly in December...This is a great feedsack quilt, it's a bit more coming in on Etsy for around $250.00...
Socks!
These are days of the week from H & M and are a 7 pack for $12.95
Anthropologie t-cups...how cute are these?

But if you really want that hamster from Walgreens on Christmas Eve, have at it...


Happy Shopping!
