I think lanterns are a lovely touch and a way to make your wedding stand out.  These Ikea lanterns are inexpensive and can be used for a variety of things!  Centerpieces, decor, hanging lighting….or my personal fave, a great alternative to a traditional bouquet!

I {heart} Hobo bags!  More specifically their clutches and their wallets.  Don’t get me wrong…the bags themselves are fabulous!  But the clutches and wallets are the genius of this label.

Hobo International - Handbags and Accessories

I often found myself needing more than a wallet…but a clutch never did the trick and a small handbag was just too much. But Hobo fills that gap and is still able to differentiate between their clutches and wallets!
I used to carry a Hobo frame wallet that would double as clutch on the occasions that I simply needed my wallet and keys. I have, however, moved past those days and find myself carrying my entire life with me on a regular basis. So, I’ve moved up to a Hobo clutch that serves as my wallet!
You may think to yourself, “what’s the fuss about…clutch, wallet, who cares?!” Well I care. You see… Hobo products are not only chic, but functional. They’re designed to make sense but don’t have those endless array of “organizing pockets” like some tragic labels. Granted, my Hobo Wallet/Clutch is larger than your average wallet…but that’s just how I roll. I have a mobile office that makes it look like I’m leaving on a trip every morning I leave the house! So having the ability to downsize to a wallet/clutch that perfectly fits my keys, phone and lipgloss is a dream!

Flipping through a magazine, I came across this lovely disposable flatware set.  It was just so cute & fun!  I decided to seek out the website and see what the details were.  I never expected the website to be so delightful!  All sorts of randomness can be found at KikkerlandShop.com.  As their own website states

It’s no wonder that Kikkerland Design continues to offer the world’s largest collection of ingenious items combining form, function, and delight in equal parts.

Stumbling through the website I found this even more delightful “mini” chandelier, but the beauty of the site is that there’s something for everyone!  Gadgets abound for nearly any personality!  So,  if you’re ever in a rut as to what to get someone I highly recommend perusing the selections at KikkerlandShop.com…at the very least it will get those creative juices flowing!

I. WANT. ONE.

Partially because its Tiffany.  Partially because its unique.  Partially because its Tiffany.  Partially because they are Exclusive.  Did I mention its Tiffany?

So here’s the deal…the Tiffany Key Pendants (to my knowlege) are only available to select Tiffany Stores.  You can’t even find them on the website (at least I couldn’t).  BUT, one of the select stores is our very own Tiffany & Co at the Fashion Valley Mall.  Hurry before their all gone!  And pick one up for me while you’re at it 

Once upon a time matchbooks were one of the standard wedding favors.  You would get them in a primary color and have gold or silver foil type embossed along with a design of wedding bells.  Those days are gone (and thank goodness!) and the matchbook’s chic and modern cousin is taking center stage.  Let me introduce you to the Matchbox!

Now, as a non-smoker the need for matches is not always immediate. But I should tell you that whenever I need to light a candle, what do I look for….matches!
