Cotton Headed Ninny Muggings...

Oh how I love a great Christmas flick...Elf has got to be on the top of my list of "Must watch" around Christmas...

So I think I might want to buy this for my children:

Amazon

No, not for me...not exactly my style...plus I'm pretty positive that by Christmas it's going to be *OH* so fitting for the little buggers. (c;

And for mama, my *actual* Christmas list (aka, the stuff I might actually see under the tree (c; ):

One / Two / Three / Four / Five 

One ~ I've been too cheap to plop down the 30 bones for this bad boy, but I'm pretty sure it smells just like heaven.

Two ~ I have been drooling over this bauble for a great while and dropping subtle MAJOR hints that I would like it for Christmas to the hubster (c;

Three ~ I have been on the hunt for a camel colored pencil skirt for *quite* some time (you would think that would be simple to find. FYI, it's *NOT*)...and with that gorgeous color blocking, I'm a goner.

Four ~ I adore this for sipping my hot cocoa, *gold monogram*, need I say more???

Five ~ I think I have finally jumped on the collar train and I want this one to be the first in a very large collection...

Sooooo...what do you think??? Missing anything?

And more importantly, what are you coveting this holiday? Y'know, so I can copy and add a whole bunch more stuff to my list (c;

Get treated like Royalty...

I've made no secret of my love affair with this skirt silhouette as of late...and this one stripey skirt in particular.

How can you not love that decidedly girly look of a fit and flare skirt???

Alas, the Corilyn version is sold out in my size and let's face it, I wasn't going to be justifying the $100+ price tag any time soon...I mean to the husband...to *me*, it's completely justified!

IT'S GORGEOUS!

And then, hallelujah, completely by serendipity, I stumbled upon this little gem of an Etsy shop:

And besides the fact that I adore her cute little catch phrase, I just can't ignore the fantasticness that is the skirt/dress goodness:

Green Stripe Skirt 

LOVING the black stripe version...

This one may or may not be currently in first place for my affections...

Black Skirt 

And lest you think that I'm doing this post because I've been compensated in some way, let me assure you that Sandee has no *freakin'* clue who I am or that I am completely and unadulterated head over heels for her gorgeous skirts (c;

Another perk? You get to send her *your measurements* and she makes the skirt accordingly.

Brilliant.

Jackpot.

Christmas list.

And don't you just love how Kate Spade-ish it all is??? Yup, she's pretty bril.

Christmas List: Plum Street Prints!

My love affair with prints can quite possibly be traced to one of the first shops that I fell in love with:

Plum Street Prints!

Shannon and Lori are the perfect pair to have a cute shop like this one, they have quite the passion for design and it shows in all the fun things you can find in their shop!

Absolutely darling prints...

 Perfect little reminder...

 Aren't you just planning an entire nursery around these in your head???

And their new endeavor...iPhone and iPod touch cases!

All available at their new website!

And all their lovely printables available at their etsy shop!!!

And my own personal pick:

Could you just die over that chevron yumminess??? And monogrammed to boot. Shut the front door.

Go ahead and check it out for yourself...you know you want to!!! (c:

Plum Street Prints is a sponsor of ATB&B, but all opinions expressed are 100% my own because I think they are all that and a bag of chips (c: In other words, pure awesomeness.
