Hugs and Kisses to XO From Seattle

My buddy Sweet Melissa contacted me earlier this month about her January feature of Beards and Bangs on her Seattle-style blog http://www.xofromseattle.com/  I must say, it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to take a good pic these days - with all the double chins and crow's feet that pop up in your 30's...but I jumped at the chance to be part of such a fun site.  The pics are up today - check 'em out!  Thanks again Melissa - can't wait to see your mug up there next!  :)

Etsy Treasury Alert

I am so happy to have today off - I feel like I get so much more accomplished on the weekend with that extra third day.  I built a new treasure for my treasury team - Treasury Friend Team.  It's called Purple Heart and includes lots of fun purple gift ideas for Valentine's Day - take a look!

Etsy Newsletter

I could tell something was up when my page visit numbers spiked tonight.  Turns out a pair of my boots that I lovingly refer to as "Early 90's Versace"were featured in an Etsy fashion newsletter about celebrity style.

I'm floored and honored!  What a treat.  What do you think of 'em?

Pink Treasury for Valentine's Day

As part of the Treasury Friends Team, I am tasked with  building an Etsy treasury each month that features at least eight of my teammates.  Today I created "Gentlemen Prefer Pink Martinis" - a pink collection inspired by the glamor of Marilyn Monroe.  Great gift ideas for Valentines Day - check it out!

My New Obsession

My husband bought me a candle in this scent last year for my birthday.  He such a sweet guy.  For Christmas, I got a gift card to Nordstrom from my mom and vowed to use it for something special that I would covet.  The best gifts are those that you might not ever purchase for yourself.  I bought a small bottle of this cologn and I just can't get enough!  It has such a wonderful vintage smell but with an unexpected twist.  The gal at the counter also threw in samples of Red Roses, Orange Blossoms and French Lime Blossoms - I'm such a lucky girl!  Next time you are by the Jo Malone counter, take a sniff and let me know what you think.
