Light Their Fire With A Chic Candle

{ Via: Vogue }

  As we head into the gifting season, candles always come to mind.  I burn them all Fall and Winter at home. Your host and those on your gift list most likely do, as well. Notice that the post title uses the word "chic."  I have seen some tacky candles "out there." Please don't gift one of those. When selecting a candle for yourself or someone on your list, be mindful of the packaging, the look of the candle itself, the scent, and the burn time. It's all important. Here's inspiration for the most illuminating gifts you can find.

Stoneglow Cinnamon & Orange Natural Wax Candle

This warm and woodsy fragrant candle features a  heartwarming combination of zesty orange, spicy cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. tThen it is finished with a woody base of patchouli, vanilla and musk. It is a perfect kitchen candle made in London and offered at a reasonable price.

Amara

Lele Sandoughi Candles

Black and white is always chic in the right space. These ceramic votive holders and ceramic candle, make a striking statement. The packaging is gorgeous in black and white, as well.  The tall ceramic candle has a 20 hour burn time, and features soft notes of orchid.

Ralph Lauren Rhinelander Candle

Have you ever stepped into the Ralph Lauren Madison Avenue New York City flagship? It is a magical place that smells divine. This candle's aroma is just like the store. It's a blend of Valencia orange, clove, cinnamon bark, and red amber.  The container is reusable, making it a gift that lasts long after the candle melts.

Lift your spirit or theirs and elevate any mood with the soft scent of the Amazonian Rain Forrest. This botanical candle has an exotic scent like none other. Most of all, I love the mirrored container.

Uno Candle Set By Ferm Living

I still love a taper candle, especially on the dining table.  This set of sixteen have been made from palm wax, which is healthier for your indoor air. The colors are just lovely.

We Took To The Coast Candles

I am totally smitten with these coastal chic candles. They have been hand poured and expertly crafted in South Carolina. The packaging is so very creative, and instantly tells a story. Inside the lovely round boxes are plain ceramic candles. With titles like Coastal Christmas,  Pines By The Sea, Nantucket Stroll, Low Tide, We Took To The Coast and We Danced In The Sea, We Took To The Coast Candle - Blue Jeans, White Shirt and more, these candles and their scents are super unique.

Serena and Lily

Cassis Cuvée

New from this brand and ever so festive! The packaging is as special as the scent. It comes in a crocodile embossed presentation box with Antica's signature matches.  The scent is perfect for cocktail parties with notes of cassis liquor, champagne, berries and mandarin. This candle screams holiday host gift.

Last Day Of The Henri Bendel #Friends and Family Sale!

{ Via }

Well, hi there! I missed you all. Mr. "Shop This" and I drove over 1700 miles since Thursday. How did you spend your weekend? Arriving home late last night, I realized that today is the last day of the Henri Bendel Friends & Family Sale, where you can save 25% on all Full Priced styles and get Free Shipping.  So here's a quick post with my picks of the sale. No code needed. Shop quickly though, as the magic ends at 3:00 AM tomorrow. Have fun playing in every girl's NYC playground.

Scented Candles

These candles are luxe without the luxury price tag. HB offers several types of scented candles, but my favorites are the Signature Candles. The scents are bright without being overwhelming, they burn clean, and you can't beat the simple but stunning frosted glass container. They match every decor, making them the best under $25 hostess gift in town. My faves, are Vanilla Bean, Champagne, and Cashmere. Truthfully, they are all sensational.

Now that's switching up your look.
