My Faves

I'm almost sick of rosettes. Bottega's black leather accesories weren't that great in my opinion, They looked. . . boring or pay less-esque. in my opinon.

Oomph

Patricia Field would have snagged this for carrie in a heartbeat. I love love love this dress. Jill Stuart.

The bow was everywhere! I especially loved YSL's show where the model's hair were bows, the bags and shoes were darling bows. Look at that tassel on the shoe, this is why we love C.L.

Who's afraid to wear ALL black? Lanvin does a perfectly tasteful job on it and Gemma looks stunning. I would wear this with a big colorful sash instead of a black one. Love it.

Luella hit the groud running this year, first with her clever play with the fruit motif from a while ago, and incorporated it into her green apple skirts. so cute. She's always had a equestrian flow to her collections, and I love it. Her mini saddle bag is adorable, and the shirt was a staple this past year and the purple skirt is so chic. Everything looks like it flows.

Marc Jacobs even said that Mary Kate Olsen was quite a muse for his collections, and as we can see from this ensemble, indeed she was. The knee highs are a good take for the leggins, and the funky ankle boots scream for attention, but the low key waist pack and sweater downplay the crazy pieces of this outfit.


Celine. The balloon pouf shape has made one of the strongest come backs I've seen, and it is definitely on the fashion forecast for 2006 no doubt about it. This outfit is so darling, the Jacket and the Skirt are two colors one would NEVER thing would go together, but it's so harmonious in this outfit. and the ankle strap shoes. aw.


I have seen this sweater more times than I can count this year. I've seen it as a dress with fantastic ankle boots, I've seen it layered under jackets and blazers and other sweaters. Very. . . Shawshank Redemption en Vogue.



Vera Wang. This is perfect for any holiday party, either at the Met or a benefit. I do wish the sash would be emerald green.

I recieved the best presents from the best friends! i'll be sure to post them next time.

I'm so sorry I haven't been blogging. I've been so busy with things. . . and shopping of course.

Holiday Gifts!

What shall you give your family and friends this year? Here are some of the most decadent and luxurious gifts I like.

First off, lets start with stocking sutffers:




Swarovski Pave crystal ballpoint pen. How can you pass it up













Sterling Silver Businesscard holder. Very posh















Cole Haan ipod case.
it doesn't get cuter than this












This is perfect for anyone, relative, friend, child. a 3 pack pique lacoste shirt in a signature gift box.





















Who says money isn't an appropriate gift. This gift card is VERY appropriate. I wouldn't be one to complain.









For your little sister:


a Judith Leiber Hello Kitty Minauderie.
Paris Hilton has one. * rolls eyes





For your mother:



Luxurious perfume. either this or Givenchy's Amirage 2005 vintage batch. this batch is suppose to be the best yet. Those Italian winds make the flowers the most fragrant.






For your Father :






Voted one of the most expensive wines in the world. Any Rothschild is fantastic but a bottle of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild. is exquisite.











For your brother:
A Four Seasons Golf package. Send that brother off on vacation to Provence, Costa Rica, or even Aviara. Your bro deserves it!






Your Secretary:
The most luxurious phone. the face of the Vertu is diamond sapphire. 24/7 concierge service. rubies support the keyes. the body is a special liquid alloy that is stronger than titanium. very chic and it puts the razor to shame.














Your Boss:


MarieBelle chocolates are just too cute to eat. Any chocolates will be good for any co-worker. Add a Bond candle too if you want that extra bonus. ha.










Your Best Friend

Marc Jacobs Stell bag. You can also choose the Chanel bag or any bag for that matter. But I just love this white quilted bag.












Boyfriend:

The BMW MP3 watch. He'll absolutely love it. He can listen to his favorite music while working out or on the go.
