Delightfully Noted's 2013 Holiday Collection

It's my favorite time of the year. Delightfully Noted's 2013 Holiday Collection is finally here! Phew, what an undertaking this was this year considering now I am someone's personal assistant mommy.

When it comes to designing my invitations and stationery I often find I perform best when I get into one of my creative vibes and then I just zone out for hours designing and creating away.

Well, now those moments are interrupted like mmmmm.....every two minutes or so.

Apparently, babies need to eat, be burped, be bathed, and be changed a lot.Who knew?

You can view and shop full collection here

I hope to work with you this holiday season!

Crush of the Month: What Does The Fox Say?

What does the fox say? Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding. If you have no idea what I'm talking about then count yourself lucky. It's this year's Gangnam Style. Nuff said, right?

 If you are one of the poor suckers who has been subjected to this ridiculous song I am so sorry. 

So. Very. Sorry. 

There's only one thing this song did right and that is that it jumped on the fox bandwagon. Their bandwagon eventually crashes, but none the less it was onto something- foxes are the new owls.

And let me tell you I am crushing hard on this trend......like a Kevin-Arnold-Winnie-Cooper-type of crush.

Here are a few of my favorite, foxlicious items. 

Yes, I just made up a new word. Merriam-Webster would be proud.

Jonathan Adler Ceramic Fox| Nordstrom: 

That Mr. Adler. He gets me Every. Single. Time. with his irresistible style in home decor. Now he just needs to lower his prices by about mmmmmm......I don't know, a hundred dollars or so. 

It's all about the benjamins baby.

Fox Sneakers| Gymboree: These shoes. #idie Too stinken cute. Now if I could only get Baby B to keep them on his feet.

Baby Knit Sweater| Nordstom: This baby sweater equals cuteness off the charts.

Girl's Fox Leggings| Trendy Tots: Cuteness times ten which equals like a bajillion cuteness. Who ever said I was bad at math?

Fox Tea Towels & Glasses| Paper Source: Seriously, fox or not these are from one of my favorite shops EVAAAAA. Plus, these towels will make you look foxy while drying the dishes?  Ba-dum-bump. (Sorry, I had to do it).

Sprouts Storage Bin| Target: Sprout makes some of the most adorable storage bins ever. Entices me to keep things cleaned and organized. Almost.

Critter Zip Hoodie| Old Navy: Baby girl in a fox hoodie. I mean c'mon does it get any cuter?

Wildlife of the Party Puzzle| Land of Nod: LON never disappoints in their kid's toys. Plus, this is a puzzle even I could do. 

So what are you crushing on this month? 

Are you a fan of the fox trend?

Have you ever sung the "What does the fox say?" song while dancing in the shower? C'mon. Admit it. We won't make fun of you to your face. Just behind your back.

Dragon Porter Earring Giveaway

Hi pals! So much to say, so little time. So as you're reading this I want you to imagine one of those radio voice over dudes who speak reallyreallyfast because that's basically what life feels like right now. It is on turbo speed now that I am a new mommy who returned to work who is trying to maintain a blog and my stationery shop and shower every once in awhile. But you're not here for my mental break down are you?

Mmmmkay, then.....let's move onto today's business; a giveaway!

Today's giveaway is sponsored by a lovely gal named Tania.

Tania runs a jewelry gift shop called Dragon Porter, which not only creates their own jewelry but also works with other talented jewelry makers from across Europe. A lot of the pieces you find at Dragon Porter are hand crafted and made with a mix of modern technologies, jewelry skills, and traditional methods from Eastern Europe. Tania was so kind and offered me a pair of earrings for review.

Look at these beauties.

The fact that they are my favorite color earns them an A+ right away. I really like the paisley pattern as well.

You know how certain earrings can be really annoying and uncomfortable especially if  your job calls for being on the phone a lot?

Well, these were not like that all. I barely even noticed I was wearing them.

The earrings are very light weight so I don't have to worry about them stretching my lobes down to my knees. I don't think I could pull off that look anyways.

Overall, I am as pleased as punch with my new jewelry.

So here's the really fun news......Tania was kind enough to offer up a pair of earrings for one lucky Delightfully Noted reader as well.

Sooooo....up for grabs is this pair of handmade resin earrings from the Dragon Porter Butterfly-Mist collection.

Aren't they puuurty? The pattern on the earrings goes so well with the big tribal trend that's going on right now in the fashion world. Did that statement just make me sound like a fashionista?

Because really I am just saying what my dear friend Marie Claire is telling me to.
You can also check out Dragon Porter's Etsy shop here as well.
