Five Friday (mostly) Holiday Faves

I hope I sparked some gift ideas with my guides this week! I have another style holiday guide planned for next week and then I want to focus on the real reason of the holidays—love and togetherness.

Here are five favorites from around the Web this past week:

1. Pretty Pieces instagram photos of her trip to SoCal. Love the orange sky in these gorgeous sunset shots. I don’t want to spoil them, check them out here–>http://ourprettypieces.blogspot.com/2012/12/instagrams-of-week.html

Enjoy your weekend,and let’s keep our thoughts and hearts with those who are suffering in the wake of the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. So, so sad.
