It’s that time of year… here’s my GIFT GUIDE for all the amazing women in your life. Give well!
“The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.” ~Pierre Corneille, Le Menteur
< $25 – Glamour Travel Bags – need a Secret Santa Gift or stocking stuffer? These colourful totes are great for travel – keeping your lingerie, laundry and shoes organized.
< $50 -GAP Sequin Tote – you can never have too many totes. This sequin bag in polyester is great for gym clothes, a laptop, and other essentials.
< $75 – Iomoi monogrammed canvas makeup bag – nothing adds a personal touch to a gift like someone’s initials! And if you’re tight on time or want a little less bank, Iomoi’s noncustom large and small zigzag canvas totes serve a multitude of purposes.
< $100 -TOMS Beaumont Skull Slip-On – in red or navy – These limited holiday edition TOMS are too good to pass up. And with every purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.
< $150 – Jo Malone’s perfume – Jo Malone has a fragrance for everyone. Favoring citrus scents, grapefruit is my go-to. The collection (including candles and body lotion) make great hostess gifts.
My first memory of colored denim stems back to grade 7 when I first saw the girls in my gymnastics class (who were in grade 8, and therefore much cooler than me) wearing Le Château purple and hunter green jeans. I just had to have them. Immediately. For better or for worse, my mom indulged my incessant retail obsessions from a young age and we were soon after purchasing several pairs from the mall. A good 15… years later, I’m finding myself drawn to red skinny jeans and crops. When I first saw Sarah Jessica Parker wearing them last spring my heart skipped a beat. While I can’t say I wholeheartedly support her choice to pair it with her “Halston Heritage Tie Dye Sac Bag” and pink T (too much for almost anyone other than her), I’m a big fan of a hot red pant with white, black (be careful of the red riding hood effect), grays and creams.
Even this spring’s love for all-pants-flared can be successfully worn in a softer crimson hue.
While spring 2011 fashion is all about flared denim and trousers, I’m sticking with my go-to black skinnies. Taking you from day-to-night, Cameron shows us how to dress up her James jeggings. Highlighting her never-ending sexy gams, while keeping them covered is all class and gorg-glamor.
I’m very vocal about my love for J Brand, especially their skinny jeans. It should also be noted that James has created a mad-snugger with it’s “James Jeans Twiggy 5 Pocket Legging Jean“. NB: these are better suited for long and lean body types (aka Cameron), J Brand’s are more curve-flattering.
So take a play from Cam, and dress up a pair of black skinny jeans – they are the new black pant.
In honor of Cupid’s favorite day of the year, today’s post is a little romantic. To help get you in the festive spirit for some sexy-sultry-STYLE. Let’s take a few cues from Jessica Biel, and own it all year.
This look is both timeless and current – achieved with one simple detail, bow-ing your blouse.
