Christmas is less then two weeks away! I know, I’m excited too! There are so many traditions I love during the holidays — Christmas jingles, wrapping pretty presents, holiday movie nights, homemade hot coco, and of course, present shopping! I’ve always taken present shopping a little too serious, because I’m always determined to find that perfect gift for everyone on my nice list. For those of you living in the Twin Cities, here are my top four local places to present shop during the holidays! Enjoy!

Mighty Swell Vintage Pop-up Shop
3109 East 42nd Street, Minneapolis, MN // Mightyswell.com
mightyswellMighty Swell is my favorite vintage shop! Not only do I love the girls, Meghan and Rae, who founded the adorable little pop-up shop, but the vintage selection is amazing! The amount of love and effort these gals have put into their vintage shop dream makes me weak at the knees. They have thought of everything — cute holiday mix, holiday recipe booklets, stuffed full grab bags! It’s the perfect stop for the fashion girl on your gift list!

Cooks on Crocus Hill
877 Grand Avenue, Saint Paul, MN // Cooksofcrocushill.com

If you know someone who loves to spend time in the kitchen, cooking, baking, experimenting, any item off the shelves at Cooks of Crocus Hill would delight your Betty Crocker friend! Their finely chosen selection of kitchen goodies is breathtaking. They have the prettiest colors of cookware! 
Juut
Edina, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Wayzata, Woodbury, Roseville, Palo Alto // Juut.com

If you watched any of my beauty videos, you know I’m obsessed, obsessed with Aveda products! It’s the combination of their luscious smell and perfect performance keeps me coming back for more! Juut is a full-service salon, so you can treat your beauty loving gal on your list to wonderful products, salon service, or spa package.
Patina
Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Golden Valley (See All) // Patinastores.compatina
I’m going out on a limb here and saying this the most beautiful boutique in the Twin Cities! Sometimes after work I will stop in the Snelling and Selby shop just to see their new merchandising. Patina is the perfect one-stop stocking stuff boutique for everyone on your list!

Merry Christmas! Happy Shopping!

I’m finally taking the plunge, not the white dress and cake kind, but the wordpress kind. I’m ready for a change and a lot more options, so cross your fingers that it all goes smoothly — seriously cause I’m a little nervous and making one of those eeeekk faces right now. Nothing URL-wise (kittycotten.com) should change, but things could get a little weird around here for a bit, so pretty please…

Last week was a pretty stressful one! We’ve been planning to find a bigger apartment in our building at the end of our lease, so we scheduled a couple walk-throughs. One was a two bedroom, two-and-a-half bath townhouse with a huge patio. The second we walked in we were sold. Then, I entered the master bedroom and I couldn’t stop giggling with excitement over the ginormous wall of closet space!…

I started practicing yoga about five months ago. This sounds totally corny, but I’d always wanted to be a yogi. There’s no real reason beside the fact that I love the idea of yoga. So, last March I bit the bullet and joined a yoga studio at a decently hefty monthly price tag. I’d done the standard gym experience before at like 40 bucks a month, but absolutely hated getting…
