The busiest shopping day of the year is just around the corner…do you know what to get your special someone?


For that special Man in your life…

Regardless of what man in your life you are buying for, get to know him and his likes and dislikes. One of the hottest new gift trends for 2010 is called Experience Gifts. What is an experience gift? It’s an activity, and it can range from a day of pampering at the spa, a hot air balloon, white water river rafting or riding a Harley. There are over 2000 different activities offered through many companies like Cloud 9 Living or FreemanX to name a couple. So whether you choose to pick an experience gift which is local or plan a dream vacation around it, it will be a truly unforgettable gift.

Hand-picked gifts for women...

Shopping for a nice Christmas gift for her? Try something unique to WOW her., something she wouldn’t expect you to think of. Like getting her something from her favorite designer like a sharp handbag or a pair of shoes she’s had her eye on.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We aren't sure who wrote this originally, but received it by email and just had to share!  Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING,
BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP.
I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS,
I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.


THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED -
THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE,
BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION
WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.


TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION,
THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION.
SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR,
AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,
PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.


I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY,
WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.
BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES....
HAPPY EATING TO ALL - PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,
MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.
MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP.
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS.
MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

What is Your Fashion Trend Fav this Season?

  

Well of course we had to start with the shoes!  ;)  And we absolutely love White House | Black Market so our fashion trend fav's this season include the beautiful peeptoe heels - suedes, florals, booties, all of them!

As White House | Black Market's website so eloquently expresses, "the feel of cashmere, the rustle of silk, it's just like a dream", we adore these soft cashmere sweaters and silk, organza tops!


Each of these 3 pieces can be work-to-dinner pieces.  Match the cashmere sweater with a great pencil skirt or the silk tops with black trousers and a jacket when you walk out the door to make that 9am meeting then leave the jacket in the car as you arrive for cocktails at 6pm!  Check out these awesome jackets:

 

Don't forget to accessorize!  Complete your look with chunky necklaces and bracelets.
 

Or throw on a cute hate and wrap a ruffle scarf around for that cozy, yet sophisticated, look! Love love love these pieces!


 

Mix and match these fashions to keep you on top of the trend throughout the rest of the cold season.  Check back with us in March though! 

We can't forget to remind you - while you are visiting White House | Black Market's website, you MUST click on the Bridal Collection!  Ooolala!!!

Rachel and Michael


Bagpipes and 4-leaf clovers were the start of a beautiful day for Rachel and Michael’s Irish wedding.  Decadent Details had the pleasure of assisting with this gorgeous wedding of fall colors.  After a sparkler send off, the couple were escorted away in a vingtage Bentley from Matchless Transportation.
