I don’t mean to alarm you all but a week from today it’s Christmas Eve. Time is flying by and if you’re anything like me presents are almost but not completely purchased. It’s time to grab some last minute items and I felt the need to create the most sparkly gift guide ever. No matter what your price range is, there’s something glittery and gold for all of the ladies on your list. Now get to it!
Fall has always been my favorite season. I love when deep colors and lots of layers are finally socially acceptable again. I’m sure you’re not at all surprised that oxblood has been my favorite fall trend this year. Whether it’s a scarf, a blouse, jeans, a skirt, a bag, lips, or nails… oxblood is the perfect way to add a taste of fall to any outfit. Here are some of the items on my wish list for this season. What are yours?
The weather report isn’t looking great for this Thursday, so my typical outfit prep must change. Schlepping around Soho in heels just won’t work this year so I’m preparing for the worst. How do you make an outfit for hailing cabs and store hopping in the pouring rain work for champagne and shopping once inside? My night so far includes Coach, Phillip Lim, Alice + Olivia, Stella McCartney, and Marc Jacobs so I’ll definately need these FNO staples to get me by.
Kung Hei Fat Choi! The people of China celebrate the Chinese New Year today! While working for an international department in the fashion industry, I learned a lot about holidays all over the world. Chinese New Year has always been my favorite celebration though and this year is extra special because it’s the year of the Dragon. To me, the year of the dragon means it’s time to adopt a “go get ‘em” attitude towards certain things in my life. Like my post yesterday said, it’s time to do something about that list of goals collecting dust!
What should you add to your wardrobe to channel that dragon? These pieces would be absolutely perfect to show the world that you mean business. A leather lapelled blazer? Sign me up! Now go be the dragon you always knew you could be!
I always get excited around the holidays for all the bright and festive nail colors. Typically people will go red, which is what I intended to do today when I walked into the salon. But it seems like every two weeks the Shellac gel color options grow. So, instead of red I went with one coat of white and two coats of gold sparkle. I die!! Here are some of my other favorite holiday colors.
