Best of the Looks, Best of the Books 12/10/10
I’m so looking forward to this weekend! I’m attending TWO holiday parties tonight, having fancy cocktails at the Plaza tomorrow afternoon, and Joe and I are hosting a small holiday gathering at our place tomorrow night. I’m also hoping to get some Christmas shopping in there somewhere too. Busy busy busy!
What are you guys up to this weekend?
Best of the Looks:
Frida rocks red tights and adorable brogues (I’m wearing red tights today too!):
So many blogger gift guides out there, but I do love almost everything on the Academichic guide.
Fancy wellies at Hip hip gin gin.

Jentine at My Edit can wear her shirt backwards and it still looks awesome.
A thrifty gift guide from Katy at Kansas Couture.

An uplifting story about a child’s quest to bring a bookstore to his hometown.
This Isak review has picqued my interest in Finnish writer Tove Jansson.
An interesting discussion about journals monetizing the submissions process at HTML Giant.

I love that look! Her bag and red tights are perfect touches!
