When it rains it pours, and we have another giveaway today! Pretty Chic is company based in San Franisco and they make adorable notebooks and weekly planners.

I’m obsessed with hounds tooth and this gray version is tré chic and so functional.

And speaking of functional, how adorable is this weekly planner? Each week features an inspiring quote and there’s even an area to list all your favorite things for 2010. And best of all, Pretty Chic is giving a planner & notebook set to a Santa Barbara Chic reader. Just leave a comment about which is your favorite pattern (you can see more here) and a winner will be randomly selected next Tuesday, February 2nd. Happy commenting!

Strappy, sparkly, Choos? Yes, please! These are a part of the new Jimmy Choo 24:7 collection. I think I could see myself wearing these 24/7… Available here.

I love these delicately bejeweled shoes. Photo by Union Photography.

I picked these Kate Spade sparkly gold shoes a few months ago and then I found them featured in a real wedding photographed by Jasmine Star. I still love those bows!

Happy 2010 everyone! To kick things off, I though a suitably glamorous board would do the trick. For inspiration I used this lovely vignette above. Its so glamorous, chic and the feather caplet is so amazing, I just had to do an inspiration board based on it. I picture this wedding taking place at an elegant and historic venue. The color palette would have touches of mint, pink and metallic would pop against a creamy white.The bride would be uber fashion conscious with a couture gown and the groom would wear tails. Guests, would be served champagne cocktails and sport fabulous hats and gloves.

Description: Glamorous, elegant, mint, pink, white

Classic, little, black heels with a little jewelry on the toe. Perfect. By Kate Spade, also comes in pink.

And I’m back! And a few days early to boot. I had a lovely, much needed blog vacation and I’m feeling fresh and recharged for 2010. I’m pretty much unpacked from the move, I have some things up on the walls and Ms. Mira (aka puppy head) is settling into her role as office mate nicely. I’ve also hired a new assistant who will be starting in February so look for her on the blog soon. And now, onto these lovelies:

I’d totally rock this bolero from Top Shop for New Year’s Eve and decorate with:

This diamond shaped pinata from Confetti Systems.

I’m a huge bibliophile, and I love the look of this pretty stack of books on an all white mantle (the elephant is pretty great as well).

This is pretty close to what my house looks like right now– stacks of books everywhere (I’m moving!), though minus the awesome Gothic inspired bench and table.

And speaking of pretty books, have you seen these clothbound books by Penguin? I don’t care much for Dickens, but that book cover is to die for. And, oh yes, these books are available at my all time favorite store, Anthropologie.

I love these sparkly Choos so much that I bought a pair for myself  (they are actually comfortable!). Available here.

Enjoy your turkey day!

PS The photos page has been updated into a new easier to use format. Can anyone with Internet Explorer 6, tell me if its working or not? Thanks!

Today I’d like to welcome a new sponsor to the blog, Hazel & Harlow! I love the rough, organic texture of these rose rings, which are available here. I think these would make a lovely anniversary present.

Likewise, I love this swallow pendant with white and green topaz stones.

And this is quite the lucky horseshoe! I love the delicate filigree work. This would make the perfect lucky charm for a bride on her wedding day. To check out the full Hazel & Harlow line click here.

I’m loving these bejeweled t-strap shoes. By Guiseppe Zanotti and available here.

I love these crisscross gold shoes, they look like they’re made for dancing. Photo by Jessica Claire (and by the way did you see Jessica’s wedding shot by Jose Villa? To die for, go check it out here.)

Continuing my obsession with all things sparkly are these Kate Spade shoes. Available here.
