Holiday Wishlist: Mimosa Lane

Happy Wednesday!  Are you all getting excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow?  Today I am traveling back home to Oklahoma City to visit my family for the holiday.  I also get to see my adorable niece Lily, which I couldn't be more thrilled about.  Today, I am excited to have Albertina of Mimosa Lane here to share her holiday gift guide with us, the second in my holiday guest post series (see the first here)!  I totally swooned when I saw these Tory Burch skimmer flats:

I'm so excited to be here at The Peak of Tres Chic sharing a few of the items on my wishlist.  Thanks so much Sam, for having me!  I really want to start off with this cape that is just stunning.  If this were my only gift under the tree I would be very happy!  I thought this Clover Canyon dress was so pretty, versatile and elegant.  The edgy earrings are really cool and would make a statement.  The shoes are fun and pretty much would go with everything in my closet. I love the tailored and manly feel of this clutch.  I am dying for a pair of these Le Tigre Scalamandre pillows (swoon!). And I saw this sweater in person and it is fabulous.  It would be a great option to dress up or down.

What are you currently dreaming of receiving during the Holidays?

Albertina Loves: Animal Print

You know it's Tuesday if I'm here over at The Peak of Tres Chic again!  This is Albertina from Mimosa Lane back for our fourteenth installment of the "We Love" series, where Sam and I swap posts for the day.  Today Sam and I are focusing on adding a touch of cozy and stylish animal prints.  And really, what comes to mind first is leopard!  So here we present some ideas as to how to add a bit of spunk and glamour to your home and your wardrobe with just a bit of animal print:

[For You | leopard clutch | bracelet one | bracelet two | bracelet three | blazer | best Tee shirt ever ]

I really love a good leopard pillow and Arianna Belle has a beautiful one.  A leopard pillow can really add personality and add some excitement into the blandest of palettes.  And I had to put this Clare Vivier clutch on here because I have it and really have worn it to death because it goes with everything.  And I can't even handle how good it looks with a cute arm party and a basic black blazer over the coziest gray tee you ever did buy.

Remember leopard is a new neutral.  Embrace it!  Is it for you, or just your home? Or both?!   Come check out Sam's animal prints looks over at Mimosa Lane.

I am loving that leopard clutch!  And the bracelets are to die for.  Thanks for the post, Albertina!  Don't forget to check out my latest giveaway with Shop HDB and enter here.

Holiday Wish List: Mimosa Lane

Happy Monday!  I am excited to have Albertina of Mimosa Lane sharing her holiday wish list today.  We've become quick + fast friends (maybe you've noticed with our frequent collaboration posts?!), and I find her to be a style setter of sorts, so I'm thrilled she agreed to share her holiday picks:

This is Albertina from Mimosa Lane and I'm so excited to be here today sharing some of my gift ideas with all of you fabulous Peak of Tres Chic readers.  This is my first gift guide this Holiday season so it was exciting seeing all the beautiful things out there that would make cute and perfect gifts. 

I'm really in love with this white porcelain jar.  What a perfect decorative piece for a mantel, desk or bookshelf || I can never tire of or have enough trays.  This one would be so much fun to style for a coffee table or on a vanity.  The price is really nice too!||  I have been in love with this paperweight forever! and the fact  that it's gold just makes it all the more classic and attractive.  ||  This is the cutest little match striker- an ideal gift for a hostess. ||  This is the cutest japanese maple plate set.  Perfect to serve dessert or a treat at tea time.  The color combinations are darling. || This mug is ideal for those coffee drinker friends (you know who you are you pumpkin spiced latte junkies!) || Cutest box ever for your baubles or on top of a stack of books.  ||  I have seen these earrings on and they look Ahhh-mazing.  Perfect for the Holiday season.  They totally dress-up any kind of outfit.
