Five Fab Things

Its always the little things in life that make a world of difference.  And here are just five fantastic little random things that make me smile or just make my day just a smidge better! 

P.S. Tomorrow I will update all my belles on all things NYFW! Designers to come: Jason Wu, Peter Som, Ruffian and more! 

What Women Want

As we all know Valentine's Day is right around the corner (for some of you I know February 14th doesn't exist) but for the rest of you it means [X's O's] && GIFTS] for loved ones.  Now maybe this is just me, however I am a believer in a few adorable small gifts.  Valentine's day is so cheesy and commercially forced anyway so why do all men feel the need to march over to Kay jewelry or whatever mall based jeweler and buy what the sales person says his girl will love! Call me old fashioned but I am much more into small, cute gifts...at least for this holiday that is, but I did manage to squeeze in a splurge or two! So let's hit Gwen's PICKS!

{ YES of course as women, we expect flowers, but how about an all enviromentally friendly bouquet at http://www.organicbouquet.com for only $46.75}

{ J'adore TBurch! Yes a splurge but oh so worth it! AND HOT PINK FOR YOUR LOVE BUG! $92 }

{ I DIE over the Sartorialist, what a fabe coffee table book! ONLY $24.99 @ Urban Outfitters }

{ QUESTION: Could you think of any better V. DAY treat then a trio of Chanel polishes? ANSWER: NO }  

{ Bath honey is the single greatest invention, only second to spanx! Laura Mercier bath honey $30 @ Nordies }

{ Adorable pillos for your shmootsie poo! only $34 @ Urban Outfitters }

{ Okay so one more splurge, but you can't deny Marc Jacobs, Neon Chain link bracelet $98 @ Neimans } 

{ Coach key chain only $48 for you honeybunz }

{ Now for me this takes the cake, it is the single sweetest book in the world for someone who means everything and only $15 at Borders } 

{ Who doesn't sleep in a bedazzled sequin tee? Victoria Secret $26.50 }

Now for your man I have a few ideas too, hoping that Michael doesn't read this I am getting him a small gift, homemade card && making fabulous red velvet cupcakes! So just a few ideas for your man...

New York Fashion Week Spring 2011 part trois

The madness that is NYFW continues and boy oh boy am I sad I missed Fashion's Night Out last night.  I'm assuming that my invitation from Anna Wintour to the Saks party was lost in the mail? Can you imagine the who's who in the fashion world all under one roof. Maybe someday.  Anyway lets talk [sheath]. The most simplistic dress silhouette is anything but simple.  Whether its a bright tangerine from Lacoste or metalic from Lela Rose, the sheath is Spring.

[ OH TOMMY BOY ]


This deserves a category all its own, as a college prep myself I adore every single piece.  Casual seersucker tailored shorts paired with silk bikini top and trim blazer. GENIUS! It is a high fashion collection for a true prep.
