okay, so i'm kind of obsessed with all of the gifts i got this year. this delicate gold ring has the tiniest inlaid crystals (i've been a big fan of swarovski rings for the past 6 or 7 years... it's kind of a tradition for me to include one on my christmas list each year!) and totally fell in love at first sight (pun intended) with these d&g tortoise shell cateye sunglasses. the dreamboat got some pretty amazing things, too! he's been searching all over for the perfect pair of boots and when he got that little twinkle in his eye after trying these on i scooped them up like a good little elf!

i hope that all of you got some yummy gifts, too! one of my favorites was a beautiful "j" that my momma drew and framed for me... it made a fast home on our dresser! a little bird tells me that there may be a couple of etsy prints fast on their way, too...

what were some of your favorite holiday gifts?

dreamy outfit - his and hers date night via jcrew.com

hello, hello, hello. did you love the picnic post? i really hope so! i love love love date night because it's a pretty nice excuse to get all gussied up! (let's be honest, though, those of you who know us know that neither the dream nor i need much of an excuse to get dressed up). in the spirit of that post, i decided to create a couple's dreamy outfit post, and i did all of my "shopping" in the sale section of jcrew.com!

for her

1 vivette dress, $69.99

2 cashmere shawl cardigan, $129.99

3 indio pursette, $129.99

4 crystal trio ring, $24.99

5 quorra high heel oxfords, $119.99

6 crystal wildfire necklace, $59.99

7 crystal petal ring, $39.99

for him

1 baird mcnutt linen camp shirt, $49.99

2 herringbone linen vest, $99.99

3 levi's 511 jean in rinsed indigo, $79.99

4 sperry topsiders, $120

5 herringbone linen sportcoat, $279.99

6 rugged boot laces, 2 for $6

the things i love about this for her look are as follows: mustard paired with navy is one of my favorite color combinations at the moment. i can't even handle a sweet, feminine dress paired with oxfords or booties - it's an impossibly perfect coupling. i love the raw edged silk on the bodice of the dress paired with big costume jewels and the geometric bib necklace plays perfectly against the gentle shawl collar of the cardigan.

the things i love about this for him look are as follows: brown and blue paired together, the casual feel of a gingham linen shirt and jeans balancing the formality of both a vest and suit jacket. topsiders are such a wonderful summer shoe and i love the idea of lacing them with colored laces. also, can i just say - these are the jeans that my dreamboat actually wears and dang do they make his cakes look fantastic!

dreamy boutique - honeypot in asheville, nc

hello everyone! how is vacation? vacation is AMAZING! it was raining last night so we went out for bbq dinner at luella's which was so super delicious! i had the chopped pork bbq sandwich with fried okra and mac&cheese... yum!

today marissa had to work and it was 90 degrees outside! it has been raining and/or cold in new hampshire for the past week(ish), so i jumped on the chance to soak up some sun (with plenty of spf slathered on, of course) and explore downtown asheville!

while wandering around downtown i walked into a totally adorable vintage and high-end consignment shop called honeypot. they have such amazing inventory... among their many delightful treasures i found teal sequined miu miu maryjanes (not in my size OF COURSE), an orange leather handbag that i couldn't find the price tag on (boooo!) and a bunch of plaid shirts that i'm tempted to go back and snag for the dreamboat. so many beautiful things and the merchandising was impeccable! the manager there was nice enough to let me snap some photos... enjoy!

i'm so in love with everything in this shop! if you're ever in asheville, pop in and visit - they're so sweet!
