Holiday Shopping Sneak Peek

 

Earlier this week I got a call from one of our favorite fashion editors asking us to help put together their Holiday Style Guide ("shopping for a difficult-to-buy-for family") and of course we accepted the challenge. With a November 1, 2011 deadline fast approaching we have been pouring over department store look books, fashion blogs, and of course the pages of our favorite interior magazines.

Neiman Marcus never disappoints and we found our shopping list getting a little longer...L.O.V.E. this for mom. Ashley (design assistant at Bradshaw Styling) is drooling over this little velvet number and has declared this the perfect LBD. As for me, I'll take these please...
