My Christmas Wish List

My Christmas Wish List

When my friend D (a.k.a. San Diego Momma: Not only is she an excellent and high-larious writer, my girl is crazy smart and a savvy shopper to the tune of a pair of Chloé heels scored at a thrift store for $11. Done.) said that she couldn’t wait to see my Christmas list, my initial thought was, ‘That’s odd. I wonder why she’s interested in what I’m getting the boys, since she has two girls…’ So I’m a total spaz. Although D is quite possibly the only one excited to check this out, I had a hell of a lot of fun ’shopping’ for it and no, it isn’t my real list.

Bargain Of The Week: Floral Chiffon Necklace

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Anthropolgie 'Windflower' Necklace in Grey $38

Anthropolgie 'Windflower' Necklace in Grey $38

I’m a firm believer that it’s often the simplest outfits that make the biggest statement – that’s simple, not boring. This also comes in yellow, which felt was a little bit ‘in your face’ for me, but I think that the grey chiffon along with the satin ribbon is really lovely! I picture it with a white ribbed cotton tank, dark wash cropped jeans, and pair of soft Lanvin-esque ballet flats – effortless, chic, comfortable, and versatile enough to go from your (my?) busy day of schlepping, right into an early summer supper or sunset cocktail; that’s what I’m picturing, not what I’m actually doing. Maybe if I picked up this necklace I would…food for thought.

Currently Coveting: Precious Weapons

Monday, June 8th, 2009

The Fetty of Brooklyn 'Precious Weapons' Royalty Collection (Available at Barneys)

Fetty of Brooklyn 'Precious Weapons' Royalty Collection (Available at Barney's)

'Lizzie's Love' 14k Yellow Gold Axe With Pavé Diamonds and 14k White Gold Heart and Chain

'Lizzie's Love' 14k Yellow Gold Axe with Pavé Diamonds, 14k White Gold Heart and Chain

So I’m sure I’m going to hear about it…guns, knives, matches, promoting violence, blah, blah, blah. None of the above. Plain and simple these are just singularly original, and particularly beautiful – period. Once again a most perfect union of both feminine and edgy, of which I still cannot get enough. I mean seriously, it’s pavé diamonds in an axe for God’s sake, and I’m loving it. The Lizzie Borden reference? Rather dark (whenever I see her story on the ‘Bio’ channel I skip over it really quickly, yet oddly continue to think about it *shudder*), but I’m digging the whole play on words about what love can do to your heart; kind of angst-y and romantic. Easy to say when you’re married I guess, but I still want one – maybe just not the axe…

Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Belissma by Moschitto Scroll Cuff in 'Ivory' $39

Belissma by Moschitto Scroll Cuff in 'Ivory' $39

I looooooove this bracelet! As a mom and a human being, I would want to receive this from anyone. Marked down from $48, it also comes in ‘Kiwi’ (looks like jade), Black (self explanatory), and ‘Tokyo’ (tortoise shell). As part of Calypso’s ‘Mother’s Day Gifts That Give’ campaign, if you purchase a gift online from now through May 10th, you’ll not only receive 10% off your purchase, they’ll also donate and additional 10% to The Children’s Aid Society. Be sure to enter MDAY09 in the coupon field of your shopping bag!

Kate Spade 'Elyce Jane Street' Brag Book in Hot Pink $115

Kate Spade 'Elyce Jane Street' Brag Book in Hot Pink $115

My mother needs this. She has impeccable taste, yet carries around her 6,000 pics of Z and R in a 99 cent plastic ‘album’ from the Rite-Aid – not to mention it’s falling apart. Pretty.

Tord Boontje & Artenica's 'Charming Charms' in Gold $27-$40 Per Pack

Tord Boontje & Artenica's 'Charming Charms' in Gold $27-$40 Per Pack

These rule, and they’re cheap! They come in packs of three on a black cotton cord, and are also available in sterling for even less. I prefer the 18K gold plate myself, and although I think they’re all beautiful, pack three would have to be my fave – something about that bunny/pod/flower combo…

Lotta Jansdotter Tote Bag in Grey $96

Lotta Jansdotter Tote Bag in Grey $96

While I think this bag is lovely, the version I really like is the Purple, but I couldn’t get the pic – click on the photo to check it out. These pretty totes are not only chic and practical (not to mention roomy at 14″x18″), they’re also made from organic wool and cotton. I just discovered Beklina, and it’s very cool – enjoy a look around while you’re there!

Shoptwigs Small Gold & Silver Circle Earrings $48

Shoptwigs Small Gold & Silver Circle Earrings $48

These pretty brushed gold and silver vermeil earrings are both artisan and contemporary; I also think they look much more expensive than their price tag. Shoptwigs is also offering free gift wrapping on all Mother’s Day items, making these the perfect alternative to flowers for those out-of-state moms – they’ll also last a lot longer!

Batacuda Eco-Plastic ‘Petals’ Necklace From A+R

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Batacuda Eco-Plastic 'Petals' Necklace in Black $38

Batacuda Eco-Plastic 'Petals' Necklace in Black $38

On the heels of Earth Day and the cusp of Mother’s Day, this is the perfect gift! This gorgeous necklace is not only wearable art (a term I loathe, but it really kind of is), it’s eco-friendly and reasonably priced. Based in Paris, Batacuda uses eco-friendly plastic neither rubber nor silicone, which is manufactured accordingly and packaged in recycled paper. There are several different versions (this one also comes in red) as well as bracelets, all equally feminine yet edgy – a combo I adore. At just thirty-eight bucks, these would make a unique and affordable gift for yourself or any other chic moms in your life. Not to mention, for those of you in L.A? It’s an excuse to head over to A+R on Abbott Kinney Blvd, one of my very favorite stretches in all of Los Angeles!

Forever 21 Stone Drape Necklace in Pink/Gold $12.80

Forever 21 Stone Drape Necklace in Pink/Gold $12.80

Forever 21 or not, I love this! It also comes in black and cream versions, but I have visions of this one atop tanned skin (I know, but I’m a product of the ’80’s), with a white cotton dress. I own a similar one in turquoise, that I found years ago in a thrift store – I’ve worn it into the ground, and have always received tons of compliments. It just might be time for a replacement…
