'One Gift' Featuring Joi Svezia...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today, Joi Svezia from Nuestra Vida Dulce
will answer:

If I had to choose just one gift it would be the Troy Lighting Sausalito 5 Light Chandelier.  I ADORE the antiqued brass finish and the circle design.  I had previously seen this light floating around the blogosphere but didn't think much of it until I saw it in person. At that time, it was love at first sight! It's a stunning fixture and would look lovely over my dining room table, Santa! ; )

'One Gift' Featuring Tina Luphia...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today, Tina Luphia from Luphia Loves will answer:

It would be this gorgeous Prada purse. I have ALWAYS BEEN A BIG Prada fan, from their big Jackie O sunglasses to their ladylike, vintage print dresses. This purse just sum up all the styles I adore, it is classy and elegant, yet the patent and the delicate little bow also adds a modern and girlish touch!


More perfectly, it can also double up as an evening bag. This is definitely the ultimate dream purse for me!

'One Gift' Featuring Megan...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today, Megan from Honey We're Home will answer: 

Hi y’all, I’m Megan from Texas, a part-time lawyer and full-time mommy.  My blog is called Honey We’re Home.  If I could choose only one material gift this year, it would be MICHAEL KORS Clear Acrylic Glitz Watch.  I have two MK watches in this style (gold and white) and I love them!  I had to get used to the chunky style on my SMALL WRIST, but now it’s like second nature to wear a large watch. 


I definitely feel naked without it and am constantly checking the time since I have to keep the little baby on track with naps and meals.  This clear acrylic watch reminds me of ghost chairs and lucite tables!  Might as well be stylish when changing DIAPERS!

Love this series Jen!  Thanks for having me!

'One Gift' Featuring Kyle Knight...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today Kyle Knight from Knight Moves Blog will answer:

This year I'm wishing for a pair of pillow shams from Leontine Linens. For some time now, I've been infatuated with their exquisite monogrammed goods and I'd love to get my hands on pretty much anything that they make! Leontine's goodies certainly do not qualify as something I "need," but they would make a perfect gift because it's unlikely that I would ever buy myself something so INDULGENT. 

They have beautiful CUSTOM BED LINENS and my favorite styles are emblazoned with an oversized classic monogram. All of their creations are timeless and "heirloom quality," so the shams would be enjoyed for many years to come.  If I were LUCKY enough to receive them, a silly amount of stress would ensue during the color and monogram-style selection process. There are just too many amazing options! 

Rest assured that if a Leontine Linens gift certificate were to magically appear under the Christmas tree, I could get it together & make my picks! Fingers are officially crossed!!  ;)

'One Gift' Featuring Laura Trevey...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today Laura Trevey from Bright, Bold & Beautiful will answer: 

I am thrilled to participate in Jen's fun guest post "One Gift" on Made By Girl. The question is: What one item do you want most for Christmas? If I had to choose just one item, it would definitely be the white "Daily System" from Pottery Barn.

I'm a little crazy when it comes to organization ~ I like everything to have a place. When all my art supplies are organized, I can focus on my painting. Happy Holidays to you Jen, and thank you for having me!

'One Gift' Featuring Nancy Marcus...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today, Nancy Marcus from Marcus Design will answer:

If I could choose 1 gift this Holiday, it would be the gold scroll side table from Neiman Marcus! I first spotted it on MadebyGirl, {Jen has such a good eye} and I have been smitten ever since! Gold accessories are a HOT trend for 2011 and this little creation would add a dose of traditional polish to any space. 

I'd place this lovely piece between the two tufted chairs in my living room, it would add the perfect finishing touch! Here's hoping that Santa is reading this :)

'One Gift' Featuring Emily Clark...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today Emily Clark from Emily Clark Blog will answer:

I'm crossing my fingers that Santa will bring me a new chair for our family room to replace the sad one we have now.  I want something with SLEEKER lines without being too modern.  I think a perfect choice is the Anderson Wing Chair from Williams-Sonoma Home.  


It's a fresh take on the traditional wingback and would be a vast improvement to the oversized (yet undeniably comfortable) chair we currently have.  I've never ordered furniture from WS Home and this chair is probably out of Santa's price range, but a girl can dream!  Especially at Christmastime.

'One Gift' Featuring Chassity Evans...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called , ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today Chassity Evans from Look Linger Love will answer:

Hello!  I'm so thrilled to be guest posting today.  I love reading Made By Girl's daily posts and am endlessly inspired.  So when Jen asked me to participate in her Holiday Gift series, my mind immediately started reeling.  


If I could have one Christmas gift, what would it be.....?  Some of you already know that I'm a big fan of the J.Crew Shoe of the Month Club.  Who wouldn't love getting a beautiful pair of shoes delivered to your front step EVERY MONTH??  (Psst- if you want to see what all of the shoe selections were in 2010 you can see my review of the club here)  So when I heard that NET-A-PORTER has their own shoe of the month club, I was smitten! The gift that keeps on giving.  Sign me up!

One Gift Featuring Anne Sage...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today, Anne Sage from City Sage from will answer:

This Christmas I'm longing for a little lace; it's sultry but so subtle when done right. And this tank from Planet Blue's Blue Label is 'done right' for sure. Casual up front, sexy in back, I'd wear it under a blazer or layer it with a cashmere cardigan--the lace would be my little holiday secret!

'One Gift' Featuring Kirsten Krason...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today, Kirsten Krason from 6th Street Design School from will answer:

If I could only have one gift this year I would choose this Joy pillow by Jonathan Adler. I have loved this pillow from the first time I ever saw it. I love that it is by one of my favorite designers and I love the message it brings.  

It would be so PERFECT in my living room! Sometimes when I'm sitting in my living room watching t.v.  I envision this little pillow sitting on an eames rocker in the corner of the room. Maybe if I day dream about it enough it will actually appear one day. A girl can dream right?

'One Gift' Featuring Paloma Contreras...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, "ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today, Paloma Contreras from La Dolce Vita from will answer:

Item: Madewell Boots

This holiday season, I am lusting after Madewell's gorgeous Archive Leather Boots in English Saddle. I have been looking for the perfect flat, cognac-colored boots for quite some time and these certainly fit the bill. I love boots in this rich, tan color because they go with just about anything! You could just as easily pair them with a pretty, flowy dress and blazer as you could with some black skinny, an easy, striped tee and anorak and both outfits would look fabulous.

Unfortunately, I've NEVER ordered anything from Madewell and have no idea if their shoes are comfortable, so if you've ever bought boots from them, holler at me!
