‘Twas the season for giving…which I enjoy…immensely.  But it was also the season for receiving!  Among many generous gifts from family and friends, this holiday season, I did have a few favorites that I’m still love love loving…

Snappy new monogrammed phone case from quirky favorite Iomoi.

The absolute perfect pump from JCrew.

And…these flirty flats for running around (…when my feet revolt from trying to be chic in said leopard pumps…)

And perhaps my favorite of all…While Husband Joel is NOT the southern prep I was once certain I’d end up with, the charming fellow did surprise me when we met for cocktails on New Years Eve (after leaving the room in a necktie) by donning this brilliant bow tie.  He left it on all evening long and I so appreciated starting the New Year staring at his handsome bow-tie-clad self.

 Any other favorite gifts this season?  Do tell.
