'Stiruppz' $25 Per Set of Two
Tres Leches cake…..traffic…..people who are late…..bunchy jeans…..THINGSICANTSTAND!!!! Ding, ding, ding! Correct. I’ve always said that it’s the little things that make me the happiest, and hallelujah, Stiruppz are no exception. There’s nothing worse than wearing an outfit that you adore, only to have to continually bend over and re-tuck your jeans into your boots all night. Not to mention? It just looks plain sloppy when they’re all bunched up around your knees. Enter Stiruppz. Being that it is the season of the boot, the brainchild of Arlington, Virginia bartenders Jenn Crittenden and Lisa Church hasn’t arrived a moment too soon.
Since it was finally boot weather in L.A. this past weekend, I got to try them out for myself. It took me a few times to adjust my jeans to the proper length (but maybe because I’m a total spaz, since it’s not that deep), but once they were in place it was dreamy, and my jeans DID. NOT. MOVE. My Stiruppz created a smooth line, and more importantly were comfortable. (This being a huge deal for me, especially when I’m PMS-ing and want to rip any remotely uncomfortable item immediately off my person.)
You’ll have to tell me what you think, because now is your chance to win your very own pair of Stiruppz and see for yourself! All you have to do to enter, is leave a comment on this post describing the crappiest method with which you’ve tried to secure your jeans within your boots…rubber bands? Tucked into your socks, perhaps? BTDT. Let me know…
*All comments must be received by the end of the giveaway, on Tuesday October 20th, at 11:59 EST. The winner will be chosen at random, notified via e mail, and announced on L.A. Stylist Mom, Thursday October 22nd. Open to U.S. residents only.

'Siren' Ring $66
'Kissing Talons' Cuff (Metal) $143
Diamond 'Pendulum' Post $55
Gorge. Edgy. Affordable. Loving. If ‘Made Her Think’ was music, it would sound like Nine Inch Nails. These are just a sampling of my faves (obvy), but M.H.T. has tons of other beautiful baubles, on ends both high and low. Case in point? Be sure not to miss the adorable ‘Pyramid Candy Rings’ (a mere thirty bucks!) and the stunning ‘Pyramid Studded Knuckle Buster,’ that made me think, for sure – that I can’t live without it…

Martha Rotten Silver Plated Pewter Vertebra Cuff $50
I recently celebrated a birthday, and a lovely one at that. J has always lamented that I’m super difficult to buy for, although he has consistently done an amazing job choosing the most thoughtful and gorgeous gifts. (Including the first Christmas we ever spent together when much to my chagrin, I unwrapped what appeared to be a portable bathroom heater; turned out to be a beautiful handmade vase I had seen at an art show. Way to recycle honey!) He’s recently informed me that it’s become considerably easier to make purchases, since now he just checks LASM. Tricky…
Regardless, I was completely surprised and thrilled to receive this stunning cuff, and It. Is. Love. I’ve worn it almost daily since, and people are constantly commenting on it. (Some think it’s just abstract, others an antler of some sort, and my fave? A guy who said with total nonchalance, “Nice vertebra.”) Martha Rotten makes some really cool pieces – bones, skulls, and the requisite ‘scary’ stuff, but also a really beautiful line of bird skulls with jeweled eyes, and bracelets cast from vintage baby doll faces. Not for the faint of heart, but stunning all the same. And no, it isn’t a human vertebra, it’s from a dolphin that died of natural causes, so you can sleep tight!

JPK Paris Nylon Bucket Bag With Chunky Hardware $165
I know it’s been forever since I last posted, and here I am again…with handbags. First off, I am grateful for any slack you’d like to cut me, since I know that it’s a giant bowl of lame sauce to tune in to the same tedious post day after day – my apologies. Now, moving on…
I could discuss the handbag topic ad nauseum, since it crops up consistently from both readers and in my ‘real’ life. This is a great one. Versatile and durable, yet all the while maintaining a current vibe combined with a classic shape – all for a hundred and sixty-five bucks! You can wipe it clean, and its style is timeless so it’ll be around for a while, unlike the grommet-y, rocker bags of late. Don’t get me wrong – I dig them – but I also realize that they’re not for everyone. I’m particularly fond of the purple, although they do come in a bunch of other colors not pictured. Click here to check out the full spectrum! See you soon – I promise!

As you well know, I’m a huge Linea Pelle fan not only for their sumptuous leather, but also for their frequent and abundant sales. With yet another season of accessories upon us, this sale just cannot be beat. These belts, originally priced from $145 to $200, are now on sale from between twenty-two and twenty-six bucks! Stupid.
