Can you say perfect? The Aura pendant light from Ladies & Gentlemen is just that. Pared down to a simple construction, this light is functional and stunning. In fact, all of the designs from Ladies & Gentlemen are meant to be functionally clever. Just check out these fab salt and pepper shakers. A must buy for anyone on your Christmas list.

That's a Wrap Part Duex

Picking up from last week's post on wrapping for the holiday season, PT brings you Inky Co.  Inky Co. is an Australian paper goods company with lots to offer. They have everything from gift tags to ribbons, scissors to tape, making it a one stop shop for all your wrapping needs. Inky Co. also has a little DIY section where you can find out how to wrap like a pro-star, something I definitely need help with!

If you've started your holiday shopping already, you're ten steps ahead of me. Catbird appears to have my back this year though. With a few sections dedicated to their favourite gifts, shopping is a breeze. Wouldn't this tray look lovely in the bedroom or holding a few items on your coffee table? I love the oddity of it, while still looking so pretty.

I have not been so eager to see a new collection from a designer in a long time, but I'm running out of patience when it comes to Arabella Ramsay. The Australian designer has yet to release her 2013 Spring/Summer collection, so I'm just going to blabber about her current Fall/Winter one in anticipation. Crustacean themed prints, sailor inspired colours, and a youthful, but vintage appeal pretty much sum up the line. Arabella's clothing has a lot going on and it all seems to work together harmoniously.

I've tried to write a few lines for this post, and I guess I'm just speechless. Words do not do justice to these stunning light fixtures by Bec Brittain (via Identical Eye). What an elegant combination of retro and futuristic glamour. If I actually owned these, I probably would sit around all day in utter awe. Luckily, since I can't afford $10,000 light fixtures, I can still go on living a productive lifestyle. Although, West Elm does carry a fixture with delightfully similar effects.
