Feeling very lucky!
How was everyone’s holiday? Did you get all you wished for and more? As you can see below, I made out like a bandit, didn’t I?
J.Crew Jackie cardigan & classic striped button-down
Actually picked up a few blouses and light sweaters with a gift card!
Chloé eau de parfum
Got it!
DVF iPad case in “Raining Diamonds”
Decided on this cover; love the zip, the tassel, and the pockets!
Coach black leather turnlock wallet
A classic, with lots of slots
Vogue, The Covers
A visual historical record, not to be missed
Bauble Bar gold pave studs
Ahem, a little gift for myself…
Guerlain Vol de Nuit powder
Shimmery, makes me feel pretty!
Parisian Chic: A Style Guide by Ines de la Fressange
Seriously, my new obsession. Highly recommend!
DeLonghi 10-cup coffee maker
Perfect for entertaining (unlike the popular single-cup styles)
Slate cheese board
I was shocked to discover we did not have a cheese board. Gasp!
Jonathan Adler Futura salt & pepper shakers
White plus gold = me, happy.
One of the best gifts I got?
A double-compartment trash bin for trash and recycling. A necessity!
I still have a few gift cards to use! Considering a larger purchase like a black handbag, perhaps the Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Groovee Satchel…thoughts? Other reco’s for me?
And thank you ALL for your two cents about my New Year’s Eve outfit dilemma! After all that, the hostess decided to wear jeans, so no dress for me (although #2 was the contender!). But I kept it stylish with a nude silk blouse, black pants, black sandals, my fur vest, and lots of pearls…and was quite comfortable. ;o)
Hope everyone else’s 2012 got off to great start like mine!
You got some really good stuff!! Hope your New Year’s was fab! xx

Just downloaded Parisian Chic to Ipad–looks fun!
What a wonderful gifts! I got the same cheese board as well and cannot wait to put it to good use! Those salt and pepper shakers are fab as well. Sounds like you had a comfy + chic NYE outfit-hope the night was wonderful!

So amazing!! You really did make out like a bandit. I just looked up the Parisian Chic book and I’m adding it to my Amazon wish list for sure.
Great gifts, but I think I’m mostly jealous of your trash and recycle bin. We need one of those. Oh and we don’t have a cheese board either.
I ended up buying myself a DVF iPad cover too. I went with snakeskin and hot pink. I think I love it more than the iPad itself. :)
Looks like someone is certainly well-loved! I Love those books and the pave earrings.
You did well girlie! Nice loot! I’m loving those gold pave studs, the DVF case, all of it!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
xx
Wow, very nice!! Happy you got the perfume, has been my favorite for the past 2-3 years ;) I’m also on the hunt for a black handbag, I’ll send you a couple of my choices ;)
Even though there is no pic, I can totally imagine your outfit, love it!
I made out like a bandit too, but I’ll have to treat myself to a few of your goodies, like those books! My man did get me Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty, he’s awesome!
HAPPY NEW YEAR ERIKA!!!
Great stuff you got! I’ve been meaning to read Parisian Chic for a while now, can’t wait. Love the salt and pepper shakers and the Vogue book looks great too. Happy 2012!
Need to buy that Parisan book. Sounds great! Wonderful items and I bet you looked fabulous on NYE ;)
Oooh you really did make out well! Isn’t the Ines de la Fressange book incredible? My obsession too :)
Happy new year, Erika! Hope 2012 is off to a fabulous start! xoxo

So fun! Here’s to 2012!!!
I’m going to get Parisian Chic! These are some wonderful items and it sounds like you were as gorgeous as you were comfortable. Glad you had a wonderful time. Thanks so much for stopping by my neck of the woods. I appreciate your visit. Please come again!
Girlfriend, you scored big time! :) Yes, a classic black bag would be a wonderful purchase. It’s always a tough decision though isn’t it??
Wow lady- what a score. Such a great variety of goodies.

Oooh… you did well! I LOVE the salt + pepper shakers and have/am obsessed with both books. Happy New Year!! xo
Oh man I meant to do a post like this with my own holiday loot. It wouldn’t be awkwardly late to do that on like Thursday or Friday this week, would it? Naaah….
The Chloe scent is on my Valentine’s list ;)
You DID make out like a bandit, you lucky girl!!! You will love your slate cheese board! And I absolutely love your salt & pepper shakers!!! Happy New Year! XO brynn
Happy go lucky, lady! That’s quite a collection! Who’s the sweetheart who brought you that Chloe parfum you wanted so bad?
