5 Faves – November/December

Since November flew by so fast and December seems to be doing the same thing I figured why not do a combined 5 faves for the two months!

1. Tiffany & Co

My birthday took place in the month of November and we’ll just say I’m in my “mid 20′s”, and I have officially joined the group of women who own a piece of jewelry from Tiffany! I’ve waited patiently my whole life for a little blue box… I may be a little obsessed with the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s.  Anyways, my parents gave me a gift card for my birthday so I had the pleasure of going and picking out my birthday present… my first ever little blue box. I felt like a little kid in a candy store… so many pretty things. I finally picked out this beautiful right hand ring… I’m obsessed with it. It’s mesh like and just… ooh I’m in love with itThanks M&D for the best birthday present and my first official piece from Tiffany’s.

2. Water for Elephants

One of my FAVORITE photographer friend’s Gail recommends the best books ever… if you aren’t reading her blog on a regular basis you are missing out on her incredible writing, beautiful photography and best book suggestions. I tweeted to her a few weeks ago asking for some new books and I went straight to Barnes and Noble to purchase Water for Elephants. I may have heard Rob Pattinson was going to be playing the lead in the movie adaptation, which made me even more excited to read it. Well Gail did not disappoint in her recommendation… holy cow this book was good.. the bit of animal cruelty in it was hard to stomach at some points but it was well worth the read. If you’ve already read the book then please go check out the trailer for the movie… ahh I’m so excited… it looks SO good. Thanks again Gail for another fabulous book!

3. Christmas Decorations

Walking into my friend Lauren’s apartment after Thanksgiving was literally like walking into the North Pole… white lights everywhere, two Christmas trees, candles that smelled of REAL trees, holiday decor EVERYWHERE.. It was a little piece of heaven. It got me into the Christmas spirit so fast, I went home and started to put up my Christmas decorations. Last week a few of us girls went over to our friend’s house to help them prep for their holiday party… boys don’t know how to decorate as well us girls… Needless to say I had a BALL! Christmas lights galore, beautiful REAL tree, stockings by the fire… I have to say, it looked like Christmas threw up.. and I LOVED IT!

Here’s a picture from my awful point and shoot, for some reason I didn’t think to bring my camera… ugh… silly me.

4. The North Face

Living in Minnesota, you need to have a heavy duty-can withstand a blizzard winter jacket… that’s where North Face comes in handy. I am obsessed with their product, I think I have 3 or 4 jackets and just purchased my first pair of snow pants in YEARS! They are amazing… definitely kept me warm and dry while I played outside in the snowmaggedon we had the other weekend. If you’re looking for last minute holiday ideas, this is the place to shop… from their snowpants to their hats/mittens/scarfs… you know you’re getting a high quality product!

5. Pretzel M&Ms

If you’ve been reading my blog at all, you’ve noticed I am a tad obsessed with M&M’s… just a little bitI have to say I was a little apprehensive when they announced this new flavor.. Pretzel. I was OH SO WRONG… salty and sweet, in one bite.. are you kidding me?!  Yep, I am officially hooked.. love them!

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, I’ll be doing a few blog posts before the new year and then it’s back at it consistently in 2011
