Absolutely lovely Vicki, from the foyer in black and white, to the gift suggestions. GROS CALÎNS ET BISES! Anita
Thank you Anita… it was fun snapping away at that beautiful stairway… :)
Hi Vicki,
I love everything on you list. Thanks for reminding me about JCrew – they always have great gift items.
Are you in full holiday swing? I haven’t done any decorating in the city, but we’re going to the country tonight and will be there for two weeks. I can’t wait!
btw – I’m doing a countdown to Christmas on my blog. Please stop by if you get a chance.
Regards,

Trying to get there Emily.. I will next week… Last minute shopping this weekend and then house and food next week…
J.Crew and Net a Porter have made my shopping much easier this year… :)
Vicky, Merry Christmas, I agree all are lovely.
We are watching TV and there was a shoot out at a Conn. Elementry school and 18 baby’s were shot by a lunny. It is awful at Christmas.America has to change the Gun Laws..
who need an assault gun anyway?

I am so saddened by this tragedy… it’s hard to think of anything else. I do wonder about the world we live in… there have been too many similar incidents like this. My heart is broken for the parents and families of these darling children… and of course the others who also lost their lives… xv
Vicki a girl would love any of these luxurious items!!

Me too…:)
There is that incredible staircase again. Yum.
I love the around and around bracelet… And the jacket…and the collar.. And the … okay, I want it all. :)

Me too.. We have been very good girls this year Isa… so hopefully Santa is on the job!!
Love that gold jacket, the wrist wraps, and a woman can always use pretty lingerie. I think I missed part one, so I’ll pop over and check that out. I smiled when you said .. hope Santa is reading:) Suggestions, or guidance is helpful for our Santa’s, wink!
Hope your kids are all around for the holidays Vicki. It’s fun having everyone home:)
Enjoy the festivities of the season!

Yes they are all going to be home… and I can’t wait… We have some fun days ahead…
I would think ‘Santa’ brilliant if he managed to deliver any of these goodies…;)
I like J Crew too, and I hear they are opening three stores in Paris in the next 18 months. Looks like many people will be happy then ;-) I am betting one of them will be on the Champs-Elysées… The most famous avenue in the world is starting to look like an upscale American mall… Ah, globalization! :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I like that it is particular to the US… means we in Europe can find something unique… It is becoming harder and harder to find special pieces… But I have to say… and I am looking every day… J.Crew is hard to beat… I always find something to share there…:)
mmmmmmmm that chanel color is calling, and it would last forever for me since i’m allergic and can only wear it on the toes!
what a fabulous eye is yours.
michele
Thanks Michele… It is a great colour… and there is something luxurious about bordeaux on the toes…;)
All great ideas! Love the wrap bracelet and the gold jacket most of all! Will definitely go back and look at the previous post as well! Can’t wait to be through entertaining after this weekend so I can finally finish up with my shopping list! Thanks for posting this!
I hope it triggers a few ideas… it has for me..:) Happy weekend…
More gorgeous choices, Vicki. I hope Santa is reading, too. ;) And Kerrie’s work is so glam ~ I never tire of seeing it. Hope you’re having a beautiful weekend.
Thank you Shell.. i am enjoying a relaxing weekend before the busy preparations of next week… :)
Another stunning photo…am I sensing a new book coming on?? ;)
Gorgeous ideas, every one of them…
would certainly put a little more “oh la la” into my step!
Blessings to you,
– Irina
Oh to have the time for a new book Irina…:) I can’t even find the time to do all I want on the blog… but who knows in 2013.. a new year and new ideas… :)
I hope so! ;)

Happy Christmas

Beautiful gifts & some lovely inspiration!
Hi Vicky,
Thanks I particularly love the peachy necklace and handbag, I think I will buy myself a Christmas present, does this sound too selfish.
Have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year and a bit of time to enjoy both.
