CJ by Cookie Johnson

 

If you haven’t heard of CJ by Cookie Johnson, these pants will change the lines of your legs. The wife of Magic Johnson, designer “Cookie” has quickly become a fashion force in denim – offering the best fitting, premium denim fit for women with real bodies. The styles don’t stop at just denim – there are cords, twill, and cotton pants that flatter women with shape. Whether you’re pear shaped, bottom heavy – whatever curves you have, CJ’s will hug, snug and FLATTER. And unlike some other mature and flattering denim lines, CJ’s have successfully incorporated current denim trends into their collection. From colored denim, to animal print, waxed-coated, boyfriend, skinny cargo, twill and more.. including classic styles like white, boot-cut, straight-leg, and black. Oprah’s a fan and swears they’re as comfortable as yoga pants or sweats (I wear them every time I fly). The not-so-secret weapons are stretch and a silk waistband. The vanity sizing (24=4 25=4-6, 26=6, 27=6-8, 28=8-10, 29=8-10, 30=10, 31=10-12, 32=12), plus size availability (34=14, 36=16, 38=18) and real models are added bonuses. Thanks to Cookie for bringing some magic to denim… Enjoy!!

 If you loved Robin’s blouse on last night’s midseason finale of “How I Met Your Mother” – here it is! Equipment’s Brett Colorblock blouse (Canada) is great with jeans or dress pants. Robin’s black cherry J Brand 811′s are a great complement to the colorblock natural white/black. If you love white and black blouses – this unexpected combination is a great neutral and a holiday staple!
 

GIFT GUIDE – for her…

 

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

 

< $25Glamour 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.

< $75Iomoi 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.

< $200 - Henri Bendel’s “Disturbed Stripe Small Train Case” – every woman’s dream toiletry bag.

< $250 - Michael Kors Rose Golden Chronograph Watch – a gift she’s guaranteed to LOVE.

< $400 - White + Warren’s Cashmere Travel Wrap – nothing says the holidays like cashmere, but I wear my grey frost cashmere wrap year-round (buy in Canada). I want every colour!

< $500 - YSL’s Chic Leather iPad case / sleeve – comes in black and pink. Speaks for itself.
