CC Holiday Gift Guide: The Domestic Sensualist

These are two beautiful books, that any lucky recipient would love reading and displaying on their coffee table. Carolyne Roehm's Flowers($54, amazon price) showcases 300 images of the many varieties she has in her gardens. The cover is breathtaking. In her premiere book, Around Beauty($40), interior designer, Barbara Barry shows us her design philosophy and captures the essence of beautiful homes.

Ted Muehling Tortoise Champage glasses- These are simply divine,  the way the cut glass catches the light makes these glasses unique and timeless. It's the only way to serve champagne!

Restoration Hardware Cashmere Pillows($59-89, on sale now) Luxuriously soft, these pillowcases come in many colors. They are beautiful on a couch or chair or simply stacked on the floor. I love the pale gray. 

J.Crew Vintage Pajama Set ($85) For stylish lounging, these classic pajamas are just the thing! They are made out of crisp mens shirting cotton and come in navy, poppy red and my favorite this French blue

Nest Fragrances Birchwood Pine Candle($32) I am obsessed with this candle. The scent is described as: The aroma of a majestic winter forest is created by blending white pine, fir balsam and birchwood over a base of rich musk and amber. All I know is that this candle smells amazing like Christmas, but clean and fresh, not at all overpowering. Plus, I love the gorgeous gold glass jar it comes in. Once it burns down, I am going to use it to hold makeup brushes. A wonderful hostess gift.
