What:nots...

How was your week? Mine was super busy and full - hence the lack of posts. This time of year things seem to speed up and book up faster than you can say Saint Nick. The boys and I are in the throes of Christmas shopping, and we are getting ourselves organised before heading to New Zealand in just over two weeks! What are your weekend plans? Ours involve wrapping presents, writing Christmas cards, and staying warm. Thanks ever so much for stopping by, I hope all is well in your neck of the woods - here's what:nots for the week.

Love this image, and pink eyes, from Bon Magazine.

Elegant silk rosebud pin from 3.1 Phillip Lim.

Love Loans + Linen's teakin (either use as a tea towel or a napkin).

Beautiful stoneware milk and sugar pieces from Paige Russell.

With a blend of patchouli leaf, clover honey, and amber, this eau de parfum sounds intoxicating.

Fun little book by Supereditions - each page has a few words, leaving kids free to illustrate however they see fit. You can see more examples of their books here.

More perfect-ness (is that a word?) from Stella McCartney Fall 2010.

Velvet lined slippers from Toast - yes please!

And my current favourite dessert - Straus vanilla bean ice cream + these yummy ginger cookies = seriously good.
