On January 21, 1966, George & Pattie got married in Esher (*though this photo was taken the day after, at a press conference). The bride was 21 and the groom was 22 (my age, gasps). My scan.

Last week I attended the Life & Style magazine panel event & let me just say, it was the first time I had been inside Henri Bendel. I know, I know....I hadn't lived in NYC for the last few years & now I can tell you I'll certainly be back. If you haven't been, you have to go!

So, the event went nicely, met a few people, mingled and got to see some cool flats from a company called Yosi Samra, the flats fold in half & are super chic! I should be getting a pair soon & will let you know how I like them. Enjoy!

Love this cute lips scarf - so beautiful in person too! We included it in the Love Letters digital mag issue as a matter of fact!

Is that LouAnn the countess? Yup.

With the gals from Life & Style.

The most amazing dark chocolate at Henri Bendel.  Dark chocolate & 24K gold. YES, it's edible.

Oh & it cost me a cool $10.

BAM!! Quick self-shot & cut off half my head by accident.....

Update:
They sent me some flats a couple days ago & they're  sooo cute! Super versatile, comfortable & they fold in half to fit right into my purse! These are the Crocodile Samara in black in case you're wondering.

A few things - we've updated the homepage of MadeByGirl for the Holidays! There are several cute pics, check them out when you can. Also, thanks to Kelly from Fabulous K for the zebra paper inspiration - we had to add it onto our page as well! 

Funny story, I walked into Paper Source (where I bought it from) & the girls at the counter were excited to meet me, telling me they read my blog! Too cute!  
 
Paper Source is awesome, I've been using their wrapping paper for Holiday gifts for a couple years now. LOOOOOOOOVE them! 

If you don't have a paper source in your town, I'm crying for you now. Check them out online.
 

MadeByGirl has also been featured in several Holiday gift guides this year, I can barely keep up! I'm super grateful to all the editors!! Here are a few I didn't highlight yet that you should def check out! 

DON'T FORGET!! If you're going to order in time for Christmas - you have to order by December 16th (USA) - unfortunately the deadline for overseas past on the 12th. Happy shopping!

Holidays are serrrrriously approaching - and that means Gift guides are popping up everywhere. Bloggers are putting up what they want & what they suggest we buy for others. Well, a blogger friend of mine Meg Biram (who's style I love) together with Katie from Modern Eve put together a pretty extensive Holiday 2012 gift guide called 'To & From' that included bloggers & tastemakers - and they asked me to be part of it.

So, if you weren't asked to be part of it, then you're not a tastemaker. Just kidding of course! 

Anyhow, my picks are below, and then I decided to do something different & choose my favorites from what other bloggers selected! Check it out! To see what each item is you'll have to visit To & From.

If you're running out of ideas, check out 'To & From' - you're bound to find something cool to give, your friend, wife, dad, kids & so on!

Thank you girls, glad to be part of this! Happy Holidays!

Welcome back this Monday morning! BIG thank you to all these blogs who have featured MadeByGirl or Cocoa & Hearts! I'm always so thankful! Check them out when you can!

Earlier this year it was a pleasure to work with phographer Janis Nicolay - whom I always admired. So, when she emailed me about working with me, I was like "are you kidding?! Of course!" 

As some of you already know, Style At Home Magazine one of Canada'smost popular home design mags featured our NYC apartment in their latest issue! It's a Special issue currently in news stands & will be available until March 2013! 

It's NOT often that my HUSBAND & I get to be featured in a magazine together, so this was a unique press moment for us both! I CAN'T say I love the picture they chose, but hey, it's us. 

I also wanted to show you MORE of our livingroom - the parts that didn't get featured in the issue. It's been a CHALLENGE in a half decorating & living in a 1000 sq ft apartment, especially after living in a much larger home prior!

You may recognize a few pieces from our old place, I managed to SQUEEZE them into our current apt. What do you think so far??

The marble table above is from CB2 - however I thought it would look better with the legs painted GOLD. So, that's what they look like. The before was a light wood color. Similar style here.

The lamp below is by Jonathan Adler - It's the Meurice floor lamp & it's the most amazing lamp ever. It has a dimmer as well and a unique design on the inside of the drum. It comes in white as well!

The velvety black regency pillows on my sofa are by Jill Sorensen.

The paintings are all painted by me. Via Cocoa & Hearts.
 

One of my favorite bible scriptures framed in the living room - from Matthew 6:33

The lamp above I purchased at a vintage shop here in NYC- I actually joined a live auction to bid on it- then won! The print "Cougar Friends" I got online - click here then search for "cougar".

 Gold skull candle - by DL & Co.

Gorgeous vintage white cross from Australia - shipped to me from Claudia over at Peep My Style.

All photos minus the 2 bottom ones are by Janis Nicolay.

Also, BIG thanks to Danielle from Urban Walls & Myrna over at For the Love of Black blog for sending some mags my way!

Enjoy your weekend!!!
