Halloween is over. We didn’t run out of candy, despite my husband’s frequent updates to the contrary. Didn’t even have to dig into Charlie Brown’s stash (other than for a treat). Now, my attention and fears are directed toward Christmas: what to buy, which cards to send, how to wrap.Holiday cards are both easy and hard: easy because there are is such a great variety to choose from, and etsy has helped in that regard. Hard because how do you choose? My recommendation for today is from Amy Armato’s etsy store.

I love simple designs, and these Armato Design “tree and snow” cards are perfect! Love the snow falling diagonally; love the olive green tree. I’ve already picked up a set. (Yes, I keep track of who gets what in the card department. It’s a good outlet for my ocd, and I can buy a wide variety of cards that way, too.)On to fashion: I have a sister getting married on December 1, and so I’m looking for something fun to wear to either the rehearsal dinner or the wedding. Remember: “fun” for me evokes Prada-esque design. You may look at this and say “That’s not fun!” But opinions are welcome: what do you think? Blogger does not want me to post pictures for Nov. 1 – I’m sure you can envision a black short-sleeved sweater tee, and a silvery, knee-length, pleated, bubble skirt? I give up!

I saw some stunning dresses, skirts, tops from Adam + Eve at Neimans a few days ago — definitely worth a look!
Consider it added to the list!
Beautiful choice on your Christmas cards. I’m planning on doing some etsy Christmas shopping too.
Check out the fashion feature in the holiday issue of Blueprint – the last photo shoes a long DIY raw silk skirt that looks super elegant paired with a simple shirt. If I get invited to a fabulous affair this holiday season I may go that route – with a great necklace and shoes it could be very chic!
Alicia – I saw the skirt in blueprint, and love it! I’m just afraid my wrap and knot tying skills are not up to Blueprint levels. But the look was spot on! (and the color was great!)
Yes, I could definitely see myself walking out of my skirt which I’m sure everyone but me would find amusing! Perhaps a strategically placed button or two would make that look much more feasible for those of us who do not have stylists to wrap us & tie us! Good luck with your endeavors to find some wonderful outfits!
