Gift Guide - Tween Girl - Interior Design 2016

Time for another gift guide! I got a request for gift ideas for "Tween" girls. This one got my nine year olds' stamp of approval! Most girls don't love receiving clothing unless they deem it fun or "cool". Cozy items are a big hit with most. Good luck and once again, happy shopping! I have a blast shopping for my daughter.

Giving Tuesday - Interior Design 2016

The holiday season is truly about giving. We all know how good it feels to give to others in need or to support a cause near and dear to you. Today is the international day of giving. I have made an effort to donate to a few favorites myself. Many business are also matching donations or donating a portion of your purchases to their selected cause. 
I will also bring my children to the local community Christmas to drop a toy, hat and mittens. 

There are so many wonderful charities and causes. Here are a few that are doing amazing things:

1. Doctor's Without Borders
2. Books for Kids
3. Dana-Farber - Is doubling today's donations 
4. American Humane

Ahhh, cyber Monday. I had every intention of posting this earlier but I was in meetings for most of the day. I will however, be sitting down with a glass of to place orders for the next hour or so. With all these great sales, it seems silly not to take advantage of the savings while there are still options in stock. I don't have a "him" in my life at the moment (well besides my family + friends) but I always enjoy to shopping for men..... Here's a round up of great stylish finds for the men (man) in your life.
