Vol 146: Needlepoint matchbooks, a pink sweatsuit, makeup correcting pen + 4 more recommendations

1. Spruce St. Studio Mi Cocina Matchbox

OMG the perfect gift does exist. The Mi Cocina one is perfect for so many of the Tex-Mex loving Dallasites I know, but there’s a slew of other options from restaurants and hotels around the country.

2. Thierry Colson Scalloped Shorts

Swooning over these linen scalloped shorts by Thierry Colson. Perfect with a t-shirt, crisp button down or the matching top.

3. Car Hood Ornaments

My friend Gretchen finds some of the best, most obscure things on the internet and one of her latest sends were these adorable tiny knitted sweaters for car hood ornaments.

4. Strangers by Belle Burden

After seeing this book seemingly everywhere, I picked up a copy and understand why everyone is talking about it. A shocking memoir about the collapse of her marriage, it’s honest, raw and a compelling read.

5. Half Magic Flik Eraser Makeup Correcting Pen

This is such a brilliant invention and one I’ve wished for over the years when using eyeliner. The pen looks easy to use and helps erase any mistakes without having to use wipes or q-tips and messing up your surrounding makeup.

6. Polo Ralph Lauren Sweatsuit

A cute sweatshirt and matching pants for spring in a cheery rose color. Perfect for lounging around the house or long travel days.

7. Silver Jockey Bottle Stopper

The Derby will be here before you know it! Whether you’re a horse lover or just enjoy the spectacle and a good hat, this silver jockey bottle stopper makes for a fun gift.
