Winter Inspiration From Anthropologie

Anthropologie is a must see store for me each holiday season.
I can't wait to see their creative and extravagant holiday decor that brings the holiday season alive.


Last Christmas all I wanted from Santa was a
sweater for this great store.
Thank you Santa for listening.
I still love that cozy sweater.

Whenever in doubt of what to buy a special gal
for Christmas,
this is the place to find it.


They have the most amazing hand knit scarves, sweaters, hats and gloves that have been my cherished favorites.


And, their home goods are so funky , fresh and rustic.


Oh, did I mention the killer boots they have?


Visiting this store is like going on an adventure.

Oh, I need some inspiration. I will be there very, very soon... I am taking photos today for my next fashion feature in Belle Inspiration magazine. And, Belle Inspiration is having a holiday giveaway you won't want to miss and their holiday edition is out! Good luck to us today.

Do you have a favorite store or place you love to visit during the holidays for inspiration or gifts? Please share.

Happy Holidays,

Christina

It Gets Better


Edited by: The Sunday Best


As we head full on into the "holiday" season, with its unbridled consumerism, endless head-whacking charity pleas, and weird tie-ins, I expected the links list to be inundated with shopping guides. Instead, many dealt with what can only be considered harassment or, terribly, abuse; several looked at blogging as a cathartic experience, others as a rallying cry. I was lucky enough to be raised in an openly affectionate household with two strong female presences in my mother and sister, and this has undoubtedly affected my manner and attitudes as a married man. Since I can't go around changing men and society, no matter how cool that superpower would be, I offer this reminder, in what I believe is the spirit of the season (when that spirit is allowed to express itself unfettered): respect is the bare minimum we owe each other, and the bare minimum we should expect from others. Respect is not necessarily agreement, but it is always acknowledgment. For those who are struggling this season--financially, emotionally, physically--I can only echo the words of Tim Gunn, George Takei, and others when I say, "It gets better." Happy Holidays.
