Holiday Hostess Gift Ideas
I am all messed up without the seasons here. The fact that it is November 11th and I was wearing a tank top last night is crazy and the holidays have really snuck up on me! We are celebrating Thanksgiving in LA with some of my aunts, uncles, and cousins, parents, siblings and grandmother. It's going to be a full house!
I love the idea of giving a unique hostess gift that the recipient will use all the time and love. They don't necessarily have to be holiday themed and it makes them want to invite you to more parties! What are your favorite go-to hostess gifts? I love the gorgeous and hilarious cocktail napkins by August Morgan. I've given out the "seeing double" ones and I'm thinking the "overserved" and "lightweight" napkins would go perfectly on our bar cart. Also, nothing better than a Frasier fur candle from November through December (and beyond...).

Hanging Art
Tory and I are settled in our apartment and absolutely loving it but on the hunt for 1. an ottoman with tray situation 2. credenza/buffet with storage underneath and 3. we need to get our gallery wall up. I recently made a trip back to NY and stayed with my friend Caroline, who has the cutest gallery wall in her apartment. It inspired me to get moving on ours. How do you guys handle hanging art? Do you like random gallery walls or more structured lines? We have a mix of photographs and prints and all different sized frames so it will definitely take some time to arrange but I can't wait to see how it turns out.

My Life Lately 11.3.14
My life lately has been hectic but great! My sister, Lulu, visited a few weekends ago and it was so great to see her and we ate at some awesome restaurants to show her the town! Other highlights from October included going to my very first country concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Luke Bryan was amazing! We moved to a new office for johnnie-O, which is so much bigger and better. My friend, Will, visited a few weeks ago and I can't wait for more visits from friends. I suppose my visit to Raleigh was in September, but that was also a Fall highlight!
As for recently, I flew back from the East Coast this morning and had such a great Fall weekend at home. Although it was a bit cold, it was amazing to see my brother and friends run in the NYC Marathon and crush it. I particularly enjoyed an true New York spread of bagels and lox and cream cheese - and mimosas, of course! I also loved getting to see my pups. I have to say, I had lost that loving feeling with Manhattan but after getting a bit of distance, I see it in a completely different light and am happy that I have a romantic and lovely view of the city once again.
Back on the West Coast and things are busy at work and school but I am absolutely loving this West Coast "Fall" weather. I cut my hair about 4-5 inches and it feels SO much better. Don't you love a good chop?? Tory and I are throwing a beer and grilled cheese party that we are so excited for, my friend Cristine will be out in LA for the month, my family is coming out for Thanksgiving and Riley comes out for a few days when they play the Kings. So many fun things to look forward to this November!! Not to mention many more beach days ahead.
