What To Buy Her For Christmas (seriously)

What To Buy Her For Christmas



Kate Spade printed bag / Kate Spade / Apple® - iPad® mini Wi-Fi - 32GB - Black & Slate - MD529LL/A / Alexander Wang / Ray-Ban eyewear, $190 / Tarte / Kiehl's kiehl s / Diptyque Roses Scented Candle / American Horror Story The Complete First Season / Dior Holiday Diorific Vernis Nail Lacquer

Okay- Thanksgiving is over, we're all bloated and tryptophan high, so now I can start listening to Christmas music and shoving my gift ideas and wish lists down your throats. (With lots and lots of holiday spirit, of course). Judge me--but I'm praying for no snow..just, no. 

But anywho- GUYS! Eh-hem...this way you grandfathers, boyfriends, uncles, newlyweds, brothers, what have you..READ THIS! I conjured up a few things that I think could make the perfect Christmas gift without having to entirely know the women you're buying for at all. Although it makes it much more special..do men even think that way? From pricey to not-so-pricey to burning-a-hole-in-your-wallet, whomever you're buying for will surely feel loved. P.S - I'll let you take allll the credit.

Shu Uemura: 'art is a way of life' SPECIAL PROMOTION!

Given the opportunity to check out Shu Uemura's awesome line of all things cosmetics, I have noticed so many things that make them different from our everyday makeup brands. Fun colors, out of this world inspirations and better yet, a relationship with Karl Lagerfeld!

With that being said, I'm happy to announce that the two (Karl & Shu Uemura) teamed up on a beautiful cosmetics line just in time for the holidays! And what better but a special promotion? 






And with that..here come my favorite products from the line!








Not entirely sure where, when, and how I'm going to rock those lashes, but I definitely want to. Side note- how cute is the packaging? I almost just want to carry these cosmetics around just to show off the black and red chic packaging. 

When you buy these products too, don't forget to use promo code WISH2012!

Playing With Peplums: For The Holidays

Playing With Peplums: For The Holidays



Peplum shirt / Derek Lam sequin pants, $1,890 / Theory leather shorts, $720 / Alice + Olivia alice olivia, $350 / Diane von Furstenberg opaque tight / Valentino black high heels / Miu Miu platform pumps / Bionda Castana side zip boots, $720 / DANNIJO crystal jewelry / Bobbi Brown Cosmetics matte lipstick

I don't even care if it's November and everyone is complaining about the start of Christmas music being played, I'm excited for the holidays. I went shopping last night and have surprisingly been finding more and more glittery things in stores in preparation for Christmas and New Year's, so I figured I'd once again share my insight on what I'm hoping to wear.

It all starts with a peplum. The rest is right in front of you. Hope this inspires!

The Item You Should Have NOW

The Item You Need Now

A PLAID BLAZER

I saw this feature recently on Who What Wear: 


It truly is so effortless. I used to be such a plaid hater, I almost feel guilty! Any fashion lover knows the effects of a good blazer in any wardrobe, but who would have thought plaid? I'm working on finding one for myself so I can throw it over one of my favorite Chaser T's and play around with the trend. 

Above I envisioned it with boyfriend jeans, perfect chelsea booties, and the perfect white T.

Words to live by..Happy Friday everyone!

November Wish List

November Wish List




Helmut Lang knit top / rag & bone / L.A.M.B. platform shoes / Zara zipper bag / House of Harlow 1960 / Karen Walker Eyewear round sunglasses / rag & bone felt fedora hat / Kate Spade / NARS Cosmetics / NARS Cosmetics / Bond No. 9 New York Madison Soiree Candle

More like CHRISTMAS wish list..I sure know how to dream big. Maybe I will turn this into my Christmas list, hmph? Anyway, just a few of the things I'm loving so short into November. Definitely a lot of key pieces and items. I smelt that Bond No. 9 candle the other day, and when I did- wooow. It's not too strong but definitely gives your entire room a scent. Very sophisticated and somewhat masculine scent as well. Loving the Smythson 'Inspiration And Ideas' notebook I found on Pinterest..perfect for me considering I always have ideas and nowhere to write them down. The Zara bucket bag, Helmut Lang sweater and rag & bone jeans kinda speak for themselves, don't they? Also--can't wait to get that fedora hat on my hands. You can bet I wear it everyday after!

The Fashion Impossible: Leather (tapered) Pants

Found it necessary to have to do a post on these Helmut Lang tapered leather pants. They're a little bit of a tough piece to style, but once you get the idea they can become a key piece in your wardrobe.

The Fashion Impossible: Leather (tapered) pants



                                     
                                                 

First things first and that's dressing these babies down. Seems impossible when first looking at them, right? Wrong. Who knew a Rag & Bone sweater, a beanie and some Converse could go such a long way? Stick with cool, similar colors with this one. Focusing so much on accessories is unnecessary, you're going for a laid back look.

And then there's the fun part: dressing it up. I didn't go to far or too crazy, because this is a look you can wear to the office or out for dinner & drinks. If you wanted to do something more dressy and edgy, add a structured blazer and a bold statement necklace, then ditch the hat. Is it obvious that I have an obsession with hats? I chose a Preen silk and wool blouse, Saint Laurent ankle strap pumps (to d.i.e for), your obvious 3.1 Phillip Lim tote, and, well, that's it. Doesn't it seem a lot easier than any of us thought?

THE ANKLE BOOTIE TREND


THE ANKLE BOOTIE TREND















Am I posting too late on this trend? Because I don't care, I'm obsessed. Last fall truly sparked my interest in ankle booties when I purchased my first real pair by Jeffery Campbell (so old I can't even link), and I wore them into the ground. So, because my love for those booties forced them to be displayed nicely on my shoe rack, I figured I'd conjure up something nice and let you all know what I truly am DROOLING over for ankle booties.

3.1 Phillip Lim makes my heart melt with those gold metallic 'Peggy' booties. A low dose of a futuristic feel not too hard to dress up or down. Balenciaga comes through with the basic, classic black brogue bootie that will sufficiently burn a hole so big in your wallet it will be non-existent. While you're at it, head over to Barney's and play with Chloe, and, well, Susan. This classic studded bootie comes in 3 different colors and has a modern shape and style everyone wants a piece of.

And then comes Zara and Mango for the win. They're a given and I truly don't feel the need to explain, but, if you haven't just yet doused in shoe heaven, I might as well welcome you to the dark side. 

P.S I've added several new booties to my collection this fall so I will definitely have outfit posts to come. xx
