{Silly/Shopping} Flying Undies and Eye Candy Brought to you by Hollister.

I personally haven’t set foot in an Abercrombie & Fitch store since my high school boyfriend used to work there. However, if you have any teenagers in your life, you may have heard that Hollister has now come to the UK.
To celebrate their new flagship store on Regent Street the company sent around 100 lifeguards yesterday to throw underwear from atop red buses. Another shameless stunt from the t-shirt and cargo-short store, but entertaining nonetheless..

{Other Diddies/Shopping} The “Birkin” of Jewelry Cases…

April 11, 2012 by Christy Osborne 2 Comments

I was recently introduced to Clos-ette Too which makes amazing organizational items for your closet. Melanie, a fellow AG, began the company Clos-ette in 2002 and has been creating customized closet spaces for everyone from Tory Burch to Drew Barrymore and Beyonce. Her passion is creating accessible storage solutions with a beautiful aesthetic.
Recently, Melanie launched Clos-ette Too, which is now available in the UK, and includes a line of signature hangers (I love the baby pink ones!) made with brass hardware, a lavender-scented folding board and awesome travel accessories…
including this super chic travel jewelry case, which has become known as the “Birkin of jewelry cases.”

I just love this case. It includes a ring holder, an earring holder, and each page is covered with plastic and an individual zipper for perfect organization. The case even doubles as a tray for putting your jewelry on in front of the mirror- genius!

Here’s mine…

You can even have these monogrammed! Such a cute gift idea.

This is must-have item for any girl on the go!

The Clos-ette Too line is available for international shipping, and is also available at the Monogram Linen Shop.

{Eat/Other Diddies} Cute cookies…..

March 12, 2012 by Christy Osborne 2 Comments

HAPPY SPRING!!!! What a beautiful sunny Monday!
Last week one of my best girlfriends here in London welcomed her first baby into the world. I obviously had to send her something special, and after being led to the Biscuiteers website by fellow AG, I sent this….

An adorable tin of cookies, personalized with the new baby’s name!

The only problem, my friend said the cookies were so pretty she didn’t want to eat them. Here are some other adorable offerings from the Biscuiteers team….

Birthday!

Congrats!

Get well.

AND to get you ready for the big summer events…

The Jubilee! (How fun is the little corgi dog?!)

The Olympics!

Just had to share these, because I think they are so darn cute.

Merry Christmas to You and Yours!

This is the first time, in four years of living in London, that we are actually spending the holiday here. I am so excited to wake up tomorrow morning with my little family. Mini AG will be very spoiled, needless to say, as it is her last Christmas as an only-child.

Thank you to all my lovely readers for all your support this year. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
