HOLIDAY | gift wrapping II

Feeling inspired by the gift wrapping themes shown in my previous post, I headed out to Paper Source and Michaels to pick up the materials I needed.  I wanted to combine the black, gold, and natural elements, similar to pepermint, but also incorporate the chalkboard look from the Nashville Wraps tutorial.

DESIRABLES | fashion and accessories

I didn't embrace the brushed check trend at first, however the more I see it the more I like it.  Considering a post-holiday coat purchase...

HOLIDAY | gift wrapping I


One of the activities I most look forward to during the holidays is wrapping presents!  Actually, it might be my favorite part of gifting all year round.  For the past few years I've selected a theme, this year I'm really leaning towards a black and neutral palette with metallic accents or maybe chalkboard style.

Here are some images I've been looking to for inspiration this year.
