I love going away for the weekend and yet it leaves you working super hard before you leave and then playing catch up once you get back! With that being said and with Thanksgiving being days away and counting, I am finishing up the holiday guide (yes I know some people were "left out" but it was moreso an issue of having so many responses and keeping the formats going) and also prepping for other goodies for this year and slight format changes for next year. Paul and I had an amazing time this weekend in that we hung out and we got to talk about where we are going with projects that are soon to be revealed. In light of all the good stuff, today's post is me saying howdy and you can catch me on Twitter @Cocoabebe!

In addition, today there is a great sale going on at Idlewild Bookstore in Union Square, if you're in the area you need to go. Idlewild Books is a travel related bookstore which has amazing gifts. If you're at 12 West 19th St in NYC, you'll enjoy the amazing sale which is perfect for your next trip and also holiday gifts as well. I love that today they have had 20% off on all books but for you late risers and pseduo late owls, from noon to 7pm, you can enjoy 40% off travel accessories! Support a local bookstore who is indie who has an interesting selection and events that bring literature and other interests together as well.

I am definitely obsessed with Yorkie's and making sure that mine will be super cute once I get it. I got a link for Ralph Lauren's pup collection and I am in love. Of course I emailed my sister and said that I would pick her up a cute shirt for Jimmy Choo! I love that they are having a great sale so how could you not? Even if your pup couldn't stand wearing clothing it would make a cute one time picture at the very least. I love that this polo shirt is so cute and could so see my bf wearing a Polo to match with our puppy when we get him. Now, when it comes to my personal favorite that is apart of Ralph's collection (don't you love that we are on a first name basis - or at least I am), I like to think of when the little guy is in the cold when he needs to visit the outside facilities to do his business!

I am a huge fan of grey and I love that I won't have to fight with the sweatshirt to feed his leash through as this has a discreet hole that it can be fed through. This is such a sporty little look and works well with my hoodie and yoga pants! Once again, you should definitely guage whether your puppy would actually like this look but if he does, this would be the cutest thing ever! I am so getting the sweatshirt in hopes that my puppy will enjoy it and if not at least I will have something super cute to look at! I think I enjoy all the details that are put into it the most!

This week's pic of Jimmy Choo is when he was a little smaller but definitely just as spunky now as he was back then! How cute is he - how funny that this was in May and already he looks so different! I think that JC could be a Doggie model he definitely has a little attitude!

 

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to do a promotion with E.L.F. I was totally drawn in with the fact that their makeup was just a $1. You know that a simple trip to some of our favorite makeup counters or stores will cost a lot more than just that. From tools, makeup and more, E.L.F. has everything that will enhance your makeup pouch and it makes a fabulous gift as well.  This month, they have a great deal available on their website - buy one and get the second half off - use code EGSTOAL!

Not only can you boost your pouch with the products above, but they are also branching in to other areas of personal care as well. Soon they will add lotion, and spritzers and it seems that it comes in at around $4. What a great way to begin thinking of gifts for others. If you happen to have Secret Santa, this is a great way to make sure that you can get everyone on your list while still making sure you have a little something for yourself as well. Visit E.L.F. and find out what else will be launching as well.
