So, coming fall, a scarf can be handy; to add a bit of colors into your wardrobe. Love this College Striped Scarf by Paul Smith! It has a few colors without going overboard; just right about of stripes without being too boring. Apart from that, it is 100% wool!
I’ve been going through the archives and pulled some of my favorites accessories for the year (and have added some new goodies) to create the Her Accessories early Christmas (or Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa or Diwali or Solstice - insert your winter holiday of choice) gift guide. In no particular order, here are my top 10 accessory picks for gifts (for the person you’d like to dazzle this year):
1: Diamond solitaire earrings
2: Steel & washi paper pendant from Blend Creations
Are you someone who chooses not to wear leather? Trying to find leather alternatives in fashionable shapes isn’t always easy, but there is an exciting piece I found yesterday at Fashion to Figure. If you don’t wear leather but you like the look, this is a very cool option for you. It’s patent leather, available in 1 and 2X, and is a friendly $34 at FTF.
As the weather gets colder and colder, I am going to want to go out of the house less and less. Now my toes might require a little love and attention but there is no way that I will be venturing outside and taking the subway downtown to a spa. I think I’ll do a quick and simple pedi right at home as I watch my fantastic Thursday shows - CSI Las Vegas, Greys Anatomy and Shark.
If you think that this winter you too won’t be heading to the spa, take 20 minutes to refresh your feet. Here is what you’ll need: Large bowl with warm water Foot or Body Scrub Body Lotion Nail Polish Towel
The price of cocaine has shot up 44 percent nationwide since January, spurred by increased (effective) enforcement. The average price increase in New York is 50 percent, though, because everything is always more expensive in New York. East Coast cops agree that the short supply is the major culprit of the rise in prices and that your friendly neighborhood crack dealer is probably mixing even more weird shit than usual into your rock. This is why I stick to alcohol. [Washington Post]
It’s Thursday again… time to go blog hopping. Enjoy!
Face Candy is talking about Philosophy Kiss sets and you are going to love the holiday flavors. Top on my list just has to be Cinnamon Buns and Chocolate.
15 Minute Beauty Fanatic has brought to our attention… Bond No. 9’s Andy Warhol’s Silver Factory and I think that I have something new to add to my Christmas list. This sounds like my kind of scent!!
Now how is that for making your holiday shopping easy for you?? Sounds like quite the deal to me. The hard part is deciding who to give the free subscription to for Christmas??
When I firstly posted Justice’s video Dance (on Tshirt island) that featured some top notch tee shirts, we got people asked where to find those tees. Well, that’s really tough question because I’ve no clue at all. But after searching the web, I’ve discovered some of them (or at least some that have very identical look). Here they go:
his one is quite famous and already featured on many websites as one tee shirt found on D.A.N.C.E clip, someone uploaded it to Bountee — pretty identical. Good one!
Hadley Freeman’s overly tongue-in-cheek articles in Guardian which seem to discourage people from ‘having fun’ with fashion used to grate me quite a bit but her writing for 10 magazine for which she is a regular contributor brings me joy everytime I buy an issue and as I cosy up on my bed to take in her writing. In the latest issue, she presents her own handy guide as to how you can tell if you’re a fashion victim. This has nothing to do with what you’re wearing but rather, what sort of a lifestyle you lead and thankfully, a lot of the boxes are left unticked yet frightfully, a lot of them I grudgingly admit is partially true…
1) You refer to Italy as "Milan" and France as "Paris" and are genuinely taken aback when someone suggests visiting other cities in that country. SB: Of course I visit other cities in France and Italy! Duh! Hyeres in the South of France (for the fashion competition) and Trieste (for the Diesel ITS competition).
