Today is the first of my Holiday Gift Guides….I am starting with a dream with list for “HER”. All of these items are incredible. There are so many great things out in the stores now it is so hard to choose. Last week when I interviewed uber stylist Cricket Burns, she told us that anything Gucci is a must have. If the bags or shoes are not in your budget, there are some great Gucci scarves out now (but are selling fast) and many vintage items available on eBay. Fur, both real and fur, still tends to be on the most wanted list as well. And the Dyson hair dryer is incredible. It is as powerful as a leaf blower and dries your hair in a minute and leaves it so full and silky!!!
I saw this rose gold cuff at Skin Westchester today. It is so incredible on. It is right at the top of my wish list for sure!!! For more information, email JuliePipolo@gmail.com.

Within the next two weeks, everyone will be putting up their trees and decking the halls. I love seeing all the festive trees and decorations but I have to admit, I dread decorating!!!! The tree is the first step. My mom started collecting polish glass ornaments for my sister and I a long time ago. She took so much pride in picking out every single one. I have my ornaments packed away waiting to pass down to my girls and these days, I decided to change it up and opted for a silver sparkly tree, which best suits my decor. But you can see my sisters gorgeous tree below. Whether you get a real tree or use an artificial one here are some fabulous tree ideas to get you in the decorating mood!!!!
I also LOVE this longer jacket with the fancy collar over a little black dress for all your special events!!! It’s so classic and this will be a staple in your closet for years to come!
Now that the guests have left, the tables are unset and the dishes are done, what should we do with all the leftovers? I have just the thing for you….why not make a delicious carbonara? Here is what to do……
2 cups of leftover turkey chopped
1 chops onion
5 pieces of thick cut bacon chopped
1 bag of frozen peas
2 cups leftover gravy
1 box of pasta your choice
16 oz shredded cheese
Cook pasta according to directions,
Sauté bacon and onions until brown.
Add turkey and gravy and mix until fully heated,
Stir in the package of cheese, and peas until cooked.
Toss with cooked pasta.
As much as I love shopping and browsing, I am not really a Black Friday shopper. I am going to spend the day with my family, reading, catching up on my DVR, and meeting my sweet friend Kris for coffee later this afternoon. When I have lazy days with time to surf the web, one of my favorite channels is You Tube. There are so many instructional videos from cooking, to organizing to decorating, to fashion and so much more. I absolutely love it. Here are some of my favorites right now and I thought if you too had some time away from shopping you might enjoy them!!! Bon Weekend!!!
