Had a happy and delicious Thanksgiving holiday and now wow December 1st, can’t believe it’s already here! To kick off the first day of Advent check out my 2011 Holiday gift guide for 3 special and specific people in your life! Loved writing it thinking about my kid brother, my best guy friends, and of course talking about children’s fashion (I think my real passion!!)… Speaking of best friends I’m going to Gotham for the first time in a long time next week to celebrate my friend Elliot’s dirrrty 3-0! We did a bit of travelling together when we were younger and in Argentina even got MATCHING leather motorcycle jackets. So nerdy but we couldn’t resist and Argentina has excellent leather products. Shopping in Argentina, years ago, was just amazing. I bought a whole Dior skincare set for 1/2 the USD amount — a textbook bankruptcy has marginal pros, 1/2 price couture is one!

So over Thanksgiving I saw the Muppets with all the kids in our family celebrating (2 SUVs full!!) and it was AMAZING. Viddy has an awesome new production pack featuring the Muppets characters that my daughter and I have been having so much fun with!

Yay Viddy!!
Speaking of the Muppets my gift guide also features a great Animal-related gift! I’ll very likely be writing an article on this Muppets x Opening Ceremony collab in further detail to be published next week. I’m just so glad the Muppets are coming back, really think those shows from when I was a kid were infinitely better than the so-called children’s entertainment today. I love you Janice and Kermit!!
Two more articles also published this week one on Stella McCartney at London Fashion Week 2012 and a Collagen Skincare Review. Been thinking a lot about fashion in England right now and just finished an article on Kim Jones’ BFA win for best menswear designer! His buffalo check scarves for Louis Vuitton were just sooo awesome!!

I think it may be time to have the wonderful and amazing Nicky 6 do another guest entry on HTTC. Said it quite a bit recently but again, I’m so thankful for him, that he is in my sister’s life, my family’s and my daughter’s.
Working on two articles right now in collaboration with my friends Andrea and Linda on their fashion projects — hopefully they’ll be done by the end of this week. Currently beginning preparation as well on dummies for my studio handmade books class this upcoming winter session and am so thankful my very talented cousin, Bridgette Guerzon Mills, has agreed to send one of her beautiful handmade books to show to my students. Let’s see what else? I haven’t taken many outfit snaps recently but whenever I get the chance I’ve been working in this long satin maxi skirt!! It might be one of my favorite items this winter. Paired with a dolman asymmetrical sweater = new favorite going out coordinate. This pics aren’t full length shots but the only ones I have in the satin maxi from an ultra hip downtown dinner celebrating the double birthdays of my darling daughter and beautiful friend, Anna early in November! The company was great, thanks to dearest Lila for the pics!!


The birthday girls!
