Elated with Etsy: Holiday Gift Guide for the Lil' Monsters

While many of us will be adventuring off to Toy's R Us or F.A.O Schwarz during the next few days {which seems like an absolute death wish to me, filled with long lines and temperamental sales associates & parents w/ meltdown having kiddies, that I'd much rather avoid} I wholeheartedly suggest that you guys shop at your favorite local small business spots, especially while there are so many holiday markets and pop-up shops open for the season. I decided I'd round up a few of my fave Etsy finds for your special lil' monsters that are unique and sure to create lasting memories while bringing smiles and giggles well into the new year.

Elated with Etsy: Fascinated with all Things Ombre

There's something about Ombre that make me feel extremely giddy. The fading change in bright, intense splashes or calming, cool shades are a great way to celebrate color! I've been eyeing a skirt very similar to this one that I hope is still at Fox's, seeing it on pinterest made me realize I still want it.

 Have you, or are you planning to incorporate Ombre in your wardrobe or home decor?
