for everyone on your list. We have tried
to make it easy for our readers to just
click through to purchase the many spe-
cial items we have found. We also have
selected the chicest looks for all your
holiday needs—from festive soirees to
cozy nights by the fire.
I’m thrilled to be able to feature Daniel
Gonzalez in our artisan spotlight. Our
family has a special event to attend this
holiday season, and I just wasn’t hav-
ing any luck finding the perfect dress.
I met with Daniel, and with his incred-
ible design ideas, together we have
created exactly what I had envisioned.
The silks are luscious and the fit per-
fect. I can’t wait to wear it.
Our entertaining editor Tamberlyn
Dobrowski has pulled together the
most delicious dessert bar for the holi-
days. Luckily, I was able to sample all
the treats, and I really can’t choose my
favorite. I will say that I had the rasp-
berry streusel bars with my coffee the
next two days—they were to die for.
The little chocolate budinos are fabu-
lous, but almost too beautiful to eat,
and the trifle melts in your mouth.
I hope that you all will have the perfect
mix of parties and special time with
family and friends this season. I also
hope that the holidays won’t be too
stressful or overwhelming. It’s fun to
plan and for everything to be beautiful,
but really we all just want to feel loved
and make memories.
Peace, joy, and love this holiday season.
Cheers!
