A week’s worth of giving: Mom Monday
The holidaze are upon us, guys. For some of you, I’m just stating the obvious. But for me and others like me, I am really just starting to think about “The Holidays;” what they mean to me, what my plans are and, of course, what to get for my friends and family and put under the tree.* That’s why I’m giving YOU, my fellow procrastinators, this: My ultimate, last minute, way-too-specific gift guide! Come back every day this week for gift ideas, all available right here at pedX and Manifesto (because, let’s be honest, it’s probably too late to have anything shipped.)
Let’s start with the family, shall we?
Vintage-loving Mom
Clockwise from top: Vintage quarter pendant, Snoozer Loser, $49 @ Manifesto; “Wilma” cloche, Goorin Bros., $58 @ both stores; Vintage inspired Harlow jewelry (local!) prices vary @ pedX; Bracelets by Liquid Metal, prices vary @ both stores.
Also good gifts for: Artsy Aunts, Kooky mentors.
Fun idea: Tuck a fun vintage postcard or vintage paper dolls in with the gift for some added flare.
See you tomorrow!
xoxo,
Sally

Easy Peasy
It’s getting dark so early these days, and somehow, this surprises me every year. Like clockwork, every November I have The. Hardest. Time. getting out of bed, and all the coffee in the world can’t change it. Despite this, I would really rather prefer to leave the house looking like a grown up, since I am and all. Luckily, I have an equation to remedy this on mornings (and ahem, some afternoons) when the cold doesn’t let me get out of bed until zero hour. And it’s an easy one! The answer is great jewelry and greater basics. Duh! If you invest in some stellar pieces, the kind that fit and feel great and never go out of style, you won’t need to think about them every morning- they’ve already been thought! You still with me? It’s ok, here’s a handy chart:
See that there? Do you not already have a great white tee? No? Well, you got bigger problems then, lady!
Simply throw on your all-time favorite cardigan/blazer/cape/whatever and hit the road—your day awaits you! And if you need this outfit to get you through the day and on to happy hour, just swipe on some eyeliner and maybe another necklace.
Stay tuned for some more easy equations, fellow sleepy fashionistas!

Sally

12 Days of Christmas: Day 4
If this was an old-school Christmas, I’d have an awful lot of birds right now.
Specifically, I would have four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and that same old partridge in a pear tree. Thanks, but no thanks. I know that, for so many reasons, I’m much better off with the kind of gift that will really ruffle my feathers:
These stunning bracelets are by Liquid Metal, and they truly have that effect. These elegant pieces move and cling to your wrist, and demand to be seen. Who wouldn’t want to wake up on Christmas morning and find one of these sexy bracelets under the tree?
See you tomorrow for the fifth day of Christmas!
