<p>My new apartment is finally starting to come together. Furniture has been built and things stored so my roommate and I are starting to get to the point of thinking about decorating. One thing we&#8217;re sure we&#8217;d like to do is build a gallery wall above our couch as a focal point. I recived this really amazing piece of art for Christmas that showcases old postcards of New York from the 1940s that my grandma had bought back then and we&#8217;re going to use it as the center piece but we must now find additional prints, images, mirrors and accents to help build the wall.</p>
<p>I, of course, turned to <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> for some inspiration. I also may follow these guidelines.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Have you ever built a gallery wall? Any tips you can share before I dive in!?</p>

<p>It&#8217;s been one hell of a week and I couldn&#8217;t be more excited for the weekend. This week I signed my new lease (woohoo!), attended the <a href="http://instagr.am/p/WtKnI/" target="_blank">Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting Ceremon</a>y with family of mine in from Florida, had book club (I brought <a href="http://instagr.am/p/Wi5BH/" target="_blank">these</a>), and this morning I started the day out right by grabbing breakfast with my dad at my favorite, Sarabeth&#8217;s, before he flew out back home from his quick 24 hour trip to New York.</p>
<p>Anyhow, tomorrow I&#8217;m braving the crowds to head furniture shopping as well as to pick up some new decor to add to the new place. Here&#8217;s some images of from where I&#8217;m pulling my  my inspiration. Even more <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/i-wish-my-home-looked-like/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p>Happy Monday&#8230;I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of family time and lots of yummy food. Heading back to New York this morning but excited to announce the first edition of the 2011 WIT &amp; Whimsy Gift Guides! This year will have four editions and I have a very special one that I&#8217;m particularly excited about so keep an eye out for it.</p>
<p>If your December calendar is anything like mine it&#8217;s full of festive happenings each and every night through New Year&#8217;s so I rounded up some of my favorite gifts for the hostess this year. But I won&#8217;t like&#8230;I&#8217;m maybe, sort of dying for the above <a href="http://seevivier.com/la_pochette.htm" target="_blank">Clare Vivier pochette</a>&#8230;tres chic! Or, anything on the <a href="http://www.katespade.com/holiday-gift-guide/holiday-gift-guide,default,sc.html" target="_blank">Kate Spade Gift Guide list</a>, let&#8217;s be honest.</p>

<p>Early tomorrow morning I head home to Chicago for a week. I have never been more ready to see my family and get in the holiday spirit. I&#8217;ll be working for a few days in the city, seeing old friends, shopping and spending nights cozy by the fire with my parents, sister and brothers. We&#8217;ll also be partaking in <a href="http://witwhimsy.com/2010/11/28/yum/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed" target="_blank">this</a> again. Finally, I&#8217;ll be getting started on all the w&amp;w gift guides for this year! (See 2010&#8242;s <a href="http://witwhimsy.com/tag/gift-guide-2010/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed" target="_blank">here</a>.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you follow me <a href="http://www.twitter.com/meghandono" target="_blank">on Twitter</a>, you may already know that next month I&#8217;ll be moving. Nothing crazy like San Francisco to New York this time around, but heading from uptown to downtown. I am so excited to have a new place to call home and a clean slate to decorate with my friend Christine. I&#8217;m already having inspiration overload from <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/i-wish-my-home-looked-like/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, but dreaming of other little pretty things to put around the place as well such as some lovely coffee table books surrounding what I love most: fashion.</p>
<p>I already own <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vogue-Illustrated-History-Fashion-Magazine/dp/0847828646/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1321501023&amp;sr=1-4" target="_blank">this one</a>, but below are some on my wish list. <a href="http://www.assouline.com/books-fashion.html" target="_blank">Assouline</a>, in particular, publishes some really beautiful books around fashion (some of which my favorites are below).</p>
<p>Do you have any coffee table books worth picking up for my new place? Do share! xo</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9429" title="Screen shot 2011-08-30 at 10.37.34 PM" src="http://witwhimsy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Screen-shot-2011-08-30-at-10.37.34-PM-450x302.png" alt="" width="450" height="302" /></a></p>
<p>When I declared via Twitter earlier this summer that I was finally on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> I had many an exclamation back that I was way late in the game. At first I was thinking &#8220;What could possibly be so great about this site that would evoke such reactions&#8221; and then I got to pinning&#8230;.oh what fun it is!</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t use it, Pinterest is like one big inspiration board and insight into those of others all in one spot. It&#8217;s an amazing display of just what true beauty actually does live out on the web. The images &#8220;pinned&#8221; are often stunning, thought-provoking, inspiring and downright delightful and leave you wanting more&#8230;more color in your life, more fresh berries in your summer cocktail, more clean lines and decorative accents in your home, more mixed prints in your wardrobe and more freshness and flair in your everyday life.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example of some of the things I&#8217;ve pinned or have seen pinned recently on Pinterest to give you an idea. Personally, I pin on everything from <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/i-wish-my-home-looked-like/" target="_blank">home decor</a> to <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/yum/" target="_blank">all things yummy</a> to <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/just-my-style/" target="_blank">personal style</a> to <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/isn-t-she-lovely/" target="_blank">looks and ladies I love</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9428" title="Screen shot 2011-08-30 at 10.43.51 PM" src="http://witwhimsy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Screen-shot-2011-08-30-at-10.43.51-PM-450x334.png" alt="" width="470" height="348" /></p>
<p>And if you follow anyone on Pinterest&#8230;let it be <a href="http://pinterest.com/dallasshaw/" target="_blank">Dallas Shaw </a>and <a href="http://pinterest.com/glitterguide/" target="_blank">Glitter Guide</a>. Sensational finds every day that showcase just how much there is out in life to delight in. (Oh, and there&#8217;s <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/" target="_blank">me</a>, too <img src='http://witwhimsy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) Are you on Pinterest??</p>
<p>p.s. one week till <a href="http://witwhimsy.com/2011/08/30/see-me-speak-at-ifbs-evolving-influence/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed" target="_blank">IFB</a>! Will I see you there?!</p>
<p>p.p.s- check out Aussie label <a href="http://toietmoi.com.au/site/" target="_blank">Toi et Moi</a> for some serious style lusting. Their pieces are so effortlessly cool. They remind me of California! Have a few being sent my way and already cannot wait to style them!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before it even launched, I&#8217;ve been a fan of <a href="http://theglitterguide.com/" target="_blank">The Glitter Guide</a> because I couldn&#8217;t adore the founder, <a href="http://www.sterlingstyle.net/" target="_blank">Taylor</a>, more and also love and count among my friends one of her main counterparts, <a href="http://www.cheetahisthenewblack.com/" target="_blank">Alicia</a>. The online guide is designed to be your go-to for inspiration, lovely lifestyles, fashion fantasies and all things that put a little &#8220;glitter&#8221; into our worlds.</p>
<p>That being said, I thought I&#8217;d share some of my favorite glitter-girl inspired picks that I&#8217;m coveting right now. (Let it be known, there are a lot more where these came from. I narrowed my selection to spare you. Definitely included would be <a href="http://witwhimsy.com/2011/08/02/styled-3-ways-the-white-tee/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed" target="_blank">these Cynthia Rowley gems</a> from yesterday&#8217;s post though!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past weekend I drove down to Long Beach Island (aka: a portion of the Jersey Shore) and it was the perfect laid back, low key weekend I was craving after a pretty awful week last week. We laid out on the beach, threw the football around in the ocean, sipped delicous cocktails and prosecco, played games, ate tons of yummy food and overall just relaxed. My friend Sara&#8217;s family owns a beautiful home on LBI and were such great hosts. I loved it there and can&#8217;t wait for an upcoming girls weekend there in the fall!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9259 aligncenter" title="LBI1" src="http://witwhimsy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/LBI1-450x450.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">{afternoon sun from Sara&#8217;s home on the beach}</p>
