My hubs and I agreed not to get each other gifts this year, as we took a Christmas trip with my stepson and his wife and her parents — that was to be our gift.
However, along the way, we treated ourselves to some new items that I now count as Christmas gifts. We got hubs new base layers for cold weather, soft new pajamas, new hat and lined gloves and a beautiful red cashmere scarf. I also got him three fun new graphic tees.
My “gifts” are the Altuzarra dress and ba&sh velvet blazer I posted about last week. Hubs insisted on both after I tried them on, so who was I to argue? He also got me a pair of lovely handmade silver maple leaf earrings from an artisan in old Quebec. Plus we supported some friends’ pop-up shop/gallery in Manhattan and got me a scarf from one of the vendors and a silver ring from another. So yeah, I kind of made out like a bandit this year, despite our promises.
I bought some fun fashiony gifts for family and friends in Quebec too — lovely hand-painted silk scarves and artisan jewelry made by local artists. My favorite kind of gift shopping! Plus some fun slipper socks and graphic tees.
Pic is me in a scarf from the NYC artist pop-up. I never wear yellow, but I love it. I think there is enough of other more flattering colors in the scarf that it works on me, especially if I arrange it so the yellow isn’t closest to my face.
