...les martines...

...this past weekend I made my way to a women's shopping event in Bidart France, Les Martines with my friend Julie.  It was so refreshing to walk into a beautiful space with so much creative energy.  These girls totally rocked it & all the product was amazing.  I ended up spending most of my time at L'atelier des Dames sussing out the perfect christmas gift- & of course I ended up walking away with more than I had planned on, but tis the season, right?  She had such gorgeous stuff...my favorites were her headbands that were crafted from fabric or lace mixed with chain & then these delicate little flowers made from fish scales...love!  My other two favorite stops were La Theiere Electrik & Rock Mafia.

...tis the season...

...where will you be this holiday season?  you'll find me snuggled up with my honey, riding some european powder, sipping on glogg & eating fondue!  Speaking of glogg...here is the best recipe (and my fave) from Alicia Silverstone's book, The Kind Diet....a holiday must!  Cheers to health & happiness this holiday season! x mvg {images via pinterest & cole barash (amazingly talented photog)}

...it's all in your head...

...or is it? kind of love this illustration from anne emond.  "be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle"...

...doggy zzzzz's...

...our poor dog saxman had a run-in with either a fence or a possum yesterday & his little paw-or rather massive paw (he's a great pyrenees) is all mangled...no ball or walks for a good while for this man! He's in need of a new doggie bed & I'm in love with these ones from Garnet Hill, especially the moroccan looking one in red & white...poor guy deserves one...x mvg

...chicks + boards...

...a little off beat, but how hot are these chicks?!? x mvg
