Congratulations Claire!
All of your answers were incredibly inspiring. And with this super stylish workout wardrobe from IVEE, even I am a bit more motivated to kick it up a notch in 2010. A big thank you to everyone for entering and to IVEE for creating workout wear we wouldn’t be ashamed to be seen out in public in!
Posted In wear it, win itWarm and cozy knit pieces, like these from Tiny Toadstool, definitely help freezing winter days a little more bearable. Bright red and teal has always been one of my favorite color combinations, it just looks so happy.
Boston-based IVEE is a fashion forward sportswear company dedicated to creating luxuriously comfortable sportswear. Their designs are for the busy, yet style-conscious contemporary woman, who wants to move effortlessly from the yoga, pilates, or dance studio at the gym to coffee or lunch with effortlessly polished style. They even have a green, environmentally friendly bamboo collection of apparel. What’s not to love?
Here’s a little something that should make that New Year’s Resolution of working out five (okay, three) times a week a little easier. Because looking good and stylish why sweating and gasping for breath is all a girl can really ask for. Well, aside from having the metabolism of a hummingbird and never having to do any sort of working out whatsoever. But that’s okay, because IVEE is offering one of you a $100 gift certificate towards anything in their shop!

When faced with what hostess gift to take to a party, I love the wine route. It’s guaranteed to be used and everyone can always use an extra bottle. It also leaves lots of room to get creative with the presentation. I’m digging these Around the World Wine Totes, they’re eco-friendly and reusable.
Only in the past week have I freed my mittens and gloves from their dark existence on the top shelf of my coat closet. And I’ve realized that most are either A. unraveling or B. really old. All the more reason for me to pick up a pair of Sara LaGrace’s mini paws. Well, that and the fact that they’re freakin’ adorable, which holds a lot of merit.
The Amanda Archer Collection has a great modern-meets-vintage look to it. The entire thing. Which makes me lust after every single piece. And every garment is made to order, which makes it feel decidedly more special. I’d love to wear the third dress with a little cardigan to holiday cocktail parties! (Anyone want to invite me to one??)
A roundup of my favorites from the past week, a few printables and a wish for a Happy Weekend! Also, a reminder that you only have until Monday at 9am CST to enter Win It: THe Paper Apartment. So hop to it!

Deceitful meringue rings that are crafted out of industrial grade silicone as opposed to egg whites and sugar. A perfect fit for the baker in your life. Don’t you just want to take a bite? {via poppytalk}
The temps are still hanging out in the 60s around here, but on the weather this morning I happened to catch that a cold front is moving in this weekend and bringing the 40s with it! Being the coat-obsessed gal that I am, I began daydreaming about wearing all of my favorite cold weather regalia. And then I thought about the Soia & Kyo coats I’d checked out on sale last week and have yet to own. {via for me, for you}
