Weekend Getaway

Even though I am not going on any type of trip this weekend, I got really inspired by this fantastic weekend bag to pack for one.

This bag is from Barrington gifts (no not that Barrington) and you can customize with a fabric choice (there are many) and add a monogram. Love them. And at $275 it is a good price for the quality and size. How great would this be as a wedding present, too?

So if I was going away this weekend, this is what I would pack. Would be perfect for a little coastal getaway or a quick B&B visit on the lake.

1. An effortless white dress for dinner out. d.Ra $100

6. A breezy beach cover up that you can wear all day. ONE by Pink Stitch $84

7. A versatile bag that goes from tote to cross body. Foley & Corinna $139

8. The best denim shorts. Ever. J. Crew $79 (buy a size down)

9. Leather espadrilles for walks along the coastline. Mint & Rose $139

10. Because it is kind of the only make up you need on vacay. Nars the Multiple in Orgasm $39

Are you off to somewhere fun this weekend? I am next week and can't wait to share.

Happy weekend.

Early Custom Christmas

I feel like there are such cute monogram gifts to give, but that I am always shopping past the date to when they can be ready for the holidays. If you want something done custom, now is the time.

I have this bracelet with my son's initials and would like this one with my daughter's name from.

Bauble Bar

This is a fun way to update the traditional monogram ring.

Bauble Bar

These totes look identical to the Celine one I have. But this one comes in more color choices and a much lower price tag. Bonus is you can monogram it.

Mark & Graham

Also comes in this shape, kind of perfect for Mom.

A super soft throw with a cute icon and monogram is great. In stripes, even better.

West Elm (on sale)

More colors available

I received the sweetest hat with Mary's initials on it from this small shop. I will be ordering more from them as the kids get bigger and stealing the idea for new babes.

1 2 3 Exclusively

Not a monogram, but easily one of those perfect gifts that you always wish you had when you you are writing notes and sending cards. A gorgeous return address stamp in fun calligraphy.

Etsy Shop AngeliqueInk

Tons of gorgeous styles available

This pillow is a nod to Hermes, you can pick the initials and from over a dozen colors.

Butterscotch Blankees

What are some custom gifts you love giving? Would love some more ideas! Trying to get my Christmas shopping done early.

Rifle Paper Co.

Why do girls have such a soft spot for paper? Pretty calling cards, loopy monogrammed stationary, letterpress greeting cards, we love it. Guys could care less and usually rely on office supplies and gifts from Mom. Too bad for them that would not get as excited as us for this ridiculously sweet paper shop, Rifle Paper Co. I am totally obsessed with their illustrations and the ability to customize it. The style is vintage with a bit of kitsch, in a good way, and pretty. I came across them when I saw this adorable family portrait on Pinterest.

It is their stationary that was framed for their house. How sweet is that?

The floral prints slay me. I worship these calling cards, thinking about getting them as my new business cards.

A bright citrus print would be cute in the kitchen.

Love this cowboy invitation for a little boy's birthday party. Doesn't it remind you of Wes Anderson movies a bit?

The different ways you can monogram stationary is lovely. The little portrait ones are amazing. The floral monogram would be perfect for a wedding gift to the bride.
