Brocade pants - love 'em or hate 'em, they're everywhere these days. Personally, we looove them.

Now if we had a money tree in our backyard, these are the pants we'd be buying! They stand out in a crowd but still look very chic and classy. Made of silk, these pants were originally $965 but now are on sale for $579 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Everyone deserves a little treat now and then. These 7 For All Mankind velvet skinnies would make the perfect treat. The detail of the gold is just gorgeous! We found them on Zappos for $198.

Foodie Friday: Winter Sweets

For those of you who know us a bit more personally, you know we're self-proclaimed foodies and fancy ourselves quite the (wannabe) chefs in the kitchen!

While perusing the wonderful world of Pinterest, we stumbled on a couple must-try recipes for this holiday season:
