{ glamourai gift guide } love for the lads

i have absolutely no problem buying gifts for the ladies in my life ~ it's like shopping for myself! however, the men i love are much more challenging; they just don't need all the stuff that we (read: i) do.

however, they do seem to appreciate the occasional, thoughtfully selected accessory, album, or experience. in case you also have trouble deciding what to buy for the fellows you're fond of, here are a few ideas inspired by the big pony collection colognes (and the men who wear them well):

{ the sportsman in your life might like / clockwise from above left: apc checkered scarf, super sunglasses ($175), tickets to watch a favorite sports team (plus an assurance that he doesn't have to take you with him!), lark+wolff by steven alan striped pullover ($48), queens of the stone age's rated r ($10), digby & iona hunter + hunted cufflinks ($120), ralph lauren tartan belt ($75), ralph lauren big pony collection cologne ($50), west elm ipod speakers ($45) }


{ sexy is the man who has the perfect music for every moment, can rock horn-rims and a bowtie, and knows his way around the kitchen / clockwise from above left: matthew dear's black city ($12), jenson wood turntable ($88), chronicles of never glasses ($277), banana republic bowtie ($60), ralph lauren big pony collection cologne ($50), private collection photography book ($70), what to cook and how to cook it by jane hornby ($26), ralph lauren slippers ($75), leg lamp ($40) }


{ for the rugged and roguish / clockwise from above left: plaid sweatshirt, antler bottle opener, pendleton picnic blanket ($78), amphigorey also by edward gorey ($15), dude no.1 beard oil ($65), stanley flask ($18), urban outfitters boots ($78), ralph lauren big pony collection cologne ($50) }

{ gift guide } books to live by

inspirational coffee table books always make great holiday gifts ~ they're the sort of indulgences that we too often hesitate to splurge on for ourselves. here are a few lovelies for the interiors junkie in your life:

{ clockwise from top left: a perfectly kept home is the sign of a misspent life // the private world of yves saint laurent & pierre berge // flea market style // vintage french interiors }

gift/wish

searching for that-perfect-something for another too often leads to accidentally discovering that-perfect-something for you:

{ it's always good to give or get: timeless tomes on stylish lasses, unexpected sunnies, quirky leather-works (like an animal belt or aviator cap), gauzy tops, leopard bags and chic gadget wrappers }

{ home for the holidays } all that glitters

though it may seem a bit early, i'm already making holiday lists ~ for myself, my home and my loved ones! to follow are a few tinsel-y talisman that would be great to give or to get, to put out for a little seasonal sparkle (thanksgiving's coming up soon in the states!) ~ then keep out well into the new year!!

{ CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE LEFT: target stag horn mirror: $220 // anthropologie stork-legs pot/candle stand: $78 // anthropologie enchanted buck measuring cups: $48 // target star mirrors: $200 each // anthropologie serverware: $68 // target mirrored tealight holders: $30 }

{ CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE LEFT: anthropologie measuring spoons: $24 // crate & barrel gold ruffle charger: $5 each // vintage silver deer: $31 // jayson colored pencil set: $65 // urban outfitters wine stopper: $12 // urban outfitters gold sparkle fisheye camera: $60 // jayson crystal votive holder: $54 // crate & barrel salt + pepper set: $60 // jayson wall-mount brass bursts: $45-85 }
