1. Mismatched Triangle Studs

Little triangles seem to be all the rage in terms of accessories this Winter. Although I no longer visit brick and mortar stores, and am visiting proper online stores less and less frequently as of late, I can report that this is at least the case on Etsy. I have favorited many a triangular necklace, ring or, in this case, earrings. Not on Etsy (& coming with a major price tag), this mismatched pair of studs just makes me smile. I think it would make the perfect gift for a fashionista wife or sister, what say you?

Lovable Friday!

Happy Black Friday! For all you of brave hearts heading out to confront the throngs in local malls, may the force be with you. I rather sit on my couch and do my shopping online. For those of you that agree, here’s a list of some of my favorite holiday gift finds:

1. Kate Spade Christmas bow earrings

Lately, when I think festive, I think Kate Spade. Her style just screams holiday, and not in the gaudy way. In fact, she knows how to execute classy yet fun flawlessly. These earrings are the perfect example. This is a great gift for a mother-in-law, sister or wife. I know I would be happy to see these under the tree!

1. Kleancolor’s chunky holo nail polish colors

Like Miss Melificent herself, I adore a fun manicure. When I came across the above manicure from The Swatchaholic the other day, I knew I had to look into these colors more. Turns out: there are a ton! Even better? On BeautyJoint.com they’re only $1.75 a piece. I haven’t placed an order myself yet, but at that price I feel like you kind of can’t go wrong. I also found swatches of all the chunky holo colors on Swatch and Learnso check that out if you want to see how a particular color looks.

Happy Hump Day: Nathan Fillion

With this being my sole opportunity to pick a Hump Day Hottie, it was imperative that I make an excellent choice. With that in mind, I went with none other than Captain Tightpants himself, Nathan Fillion. Firefly was arguably the first sci-fi show that I ever truly loved. I’ve now watched it more times than I can count and Malcolm Reynolds remains one of my favorite characters to this day. I would love to fly around the ‘verse on Serenity.

Naturally, Joss Whedon’s brilliant vision has quite a bit to do with that. Fortunately for all of us, Joss and Nathan have a thriving bromance that doesn’t look to be ending anytime soon: you may remember Nathan as Caleb on Buffy the Vampire Slayer or as Captain Hammer in Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Did you all also hear that Joss directed a version of Much Ado About Nothing with so many Whedonverse actors that I couldn’t possibly list them all here? To say I’m excited would be a serious understatement. It also helps that Mr. Fillion seems like a genuinely wonderful, kind person, consistently cracks me up on Twitter, and was adorably befuddled in Waitress. He also popped up in disguise at The Joss Whedon Experience panel Meli and I attended at SDCC 2010 to ask Joss who his favorite actor is during the fan questions. Joss’ response? “It’s Nathan Fillion!” as he pointed to the microphone, revealing the speaker’s identity. I think we all know he only spoke the truth. With the gushing out of the way, enjoy the photos:

1. Cloud hangers

I wish I could tell you I know exactly where you can find and purchase these adorable cloud hangers, but unfortunately, this was one of those random Tumblr finds. However, after some Internet research, I found similar ones from one of my old favorites, Fred Flare. How cute would these look in a child’s closet or just to display some special frocks? Sigh!
