Get the Gimmies

It seems like every year when fall comes around I "get the gimmies" for a new pair of winter boots....as if I don't already have any.

This year I am lusting after these....

Sorel Out n about leather boot $115

They would be perfect for the wet weather here in Portland! 

Got the Gimmies

In case you are wondering who is the winner of the Merin Designs Ketchum bag...well, you will have to read this post to find out!

I've got a major case of the gimmies (anyone else read the Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmies as a kid?).  And I decided instead of exercising my Amex, hopefully this blog post will do the trick and I'll be cured (unlikely, but one can hope). It's not specific to one area...pretty much runs the gamut.

Holiday decor for Thanksgiving and Christmas...

Turkey Pheasant Wreath

Mark and Graham Preppy Plaid Napkins

Clothes for work...

5th & Mercer Long Sleeve Dress

Zara Top with Detailing on the Shoulder

And of course, for play too...day and night. 

Hunter Original Tall Rain Boot

J. Crew Buffalo Check Shirt-Jacket

Trina Turk Edda Jumpsuit

If I had to just buy one thing, the blue dress might be the one...although the Zara top looks pretty cute.....

Gimmies still present.

Oh, and the winner is.....drumroll please....Dawn Keenan. Congratulations! We will be in touch!

Get the Gimmies

As children Katie and I were big readers of the Berenstain Bears….cute books, good life lessons and nice illustrations.

If you too were a fan, do you remember the book "Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmies"? Well, right now I feel like I have a major case of the gimmies. During the holidays we are constantly bombarded with gift guides, sales, and special shopping events and it's impossible not to want EVERYTHING!

Everything..including this "coatigan" from ASOS.

Checked Wrap Coatigan $145.19 (sale price $101.63)

ASOS has been giving me the gimmies a lot lately. They are killing it right now…on trend, quick shipping, free returns and the prices are awesome! I find it oh so hard to say "no", but I will have to….just like Brother and Sister bear. I can't have everything I want. Why is that such a hard lesson to learn?
