All I Want For Christmas is a Custom Holiday Card

Forget the celebrity frenzy surrounding the latest Kardashian Christmas Card.  My latest holiday obsession is currently Emily Brickel Illustrations glamourous custom holiday cards.  She’s such a talented illustrator that makes everyday moments look like they came out of a top fashion designer’s sketchbook.  If you’re not one to send holiday cards or already sent yours out, Emily Brickel also designs some of the most unique couples photos, notebooks, and gifts, along with custom wedding and birthday portraits. When it comes to treating yourself or others, you can’t go wrong with a custom gift.

Marshalls & TJ Maxx Holiday Gifting Event

In the spirit of the holidays, I had the honor of being invited to celebrate the joy of giving at the Marshalls & TJ Maxx Holiday Gifting Event.  With amazing prices and an even more amazing selection of designer goods for everyone, Marshalls and TJ Maxx truly are the ultimate destinations for holiday shopping and my go to store for year-round designer fashions.  As a fun twist, everyone who attended received a gift to give to someone special on their list.  I left with a beautifully wrapped gift to give to my Mom that will be just as much of a surprise for me when she opens it on Christmas morning.

Glam gifts for her

Aside from the fabulously wrapped gift I got for my mom at this event, I have yet start on my holiday shopping and should really head over to Marshalls & TJ Maxx.

My Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Socialites! Right now I’m so thankful that I finally have time to blog again after the crazy busy two weeks I’ve had. Ever since I was born, I’ve spent every Thanksgiving in New Hampshire with my Dad’s side of the family and this year was no different. Wednesday evening I left NYC on a bus headed for Boston to visit my wonderful family for the Thanksgiving holiday. Though I’ve spent my life constantly aspiring to something greater, I never forget to be grateful for all the blessings life has given me. I’m so thankful for my family, friends, followers, and fans. I feel lucky each day to have a life filled with good health and good company. I may aspire to fame and fortune, but when you have health and friends, you have everything. Many thanks to everyone who has read and supported this blog. Your make me feel more like a socialite everyday!

No turkey for me!  I’m a vegetarian and half my family is gluten-free.  Thankfully, we can all drink wine.

Love my cousins!  Though we’ve always lived far away, we’ve always been super close!
