Word: Bread of Many.

{via ffffound, no source}

I wish…

…I wish I was as loyal as ‘Dusty Springfield’ by the Haywains

…I wish I was as charming as ‘C is the Heavenly Option’ by Heavenly

…I wish I was as brave as ‘Birthday’ by the Sugarcubes

…I wish I was as confident as ‘Crazy’ by Pylon

…I wish I was as optimistic as ‘Rise and Shine’ by the Cardigans

I wish I was music to someone’s ears.

Thanks to Haley of Bread of Many for this week’s super creative Word! Spin on over to her etsy shop for an eyeful of awesomeness.

Win It: IVEE.


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!

To Enter, Tell Me:

1. What’s your workout routine?
2. Your email address, in case you win (those who do not will be disqualified)
3. Do it all before Monday, December 14th at 9am

Wish Gift List: Apartment #34.

This may be a holiday of the homemade and baked goods but if I had all the resources in the world I’d love to splurge on these treats for all the loved ones in my life.

For the boys
Every cool guy has gotta have a good coat and shades.

For the girls

Beautiful cambiere candles by minedesign from Reverie Daydream Boutique. A delicious scent and the candles reveal beautiful patterns when warm.


For the foodies

Cooking classes. The best of which have to be Sunday Suppers – someday I will get myself to one of their stunning fetes.

For the fashionistas

Every stylish girl needs a little glitter for the holidays – I’d love to give the 3.1 Philip Lim beaded dress.

For the decor mavens
A little something to stay cozy around their house. The luxurious throw from Cox and Cox would do the trick.


For the traveler
Because every girl on the run needs the perfect weekender.


For my fiance
My heart via here


For my BFF
There’s nothing better than a girls getaway, right? I think a weekend at the Ace Palm Springs would be perfect remedy for post-holiday hangover. (photos via www.loumorablog.com)


For me!
A little pretty frivolity always makes the holidays bright Julianne Natalia chemise.
