By: Unknown on 12/16/2013

I've got some Monday Motivation for you.... to finish that Christmas shopping of course! From fashion to home, jewelry and beauty, here are some ideas to fill HER stocking! We all love mini surprises so I encourage you to get creative and compliment her personality with gifts she will oh-so-love and use. Sometimes less is more, and it's the little things that count!! Enjoy.

 Dazzle her with these fun diamond magnets!

Bring those far away scents home with Astier de Villatte's scented candles

Michael Kors fingerless gloves for the lady who's always on her iPad. Love!

Look for the blue box! Yes, this Tiffany's cuff is versatile enough to wear everyday and screams elegant.

I've been obsessed with Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 since the dead of winter hit. Anyone can appreciate this gift set. 

Take a cue from my Tech the Halls gift guide, these cozy UGG earmuff's will come in handy during a snowy getaway! Yes, please.

For the weekend jet setter, this iPad folio by Kate Spade is adorable.

 Illustration Now! Fashion from Taschen.  I'm obsessed!

You can't go wrong with a gift card to her favorite workout studio. One of my favorites, Soul Cycle!!!

Think outside of the box, maybe something for the home. A set of party coasters would be a cool touch for that hostess with the mostest!

I love the uniqueness of this Lululemon neck warmer <3

A Clarisonic will be loved by any beauty buff!

Another great grab for the world traveler! This Amika hair styling set will save space in her suitcase. (Available at Birchbox)

This Chanel dual sided mirror is a must for touchups and every girl's handbag.

How about a little humor?  This penguin corkscrew is adorable.

Whoa, move over Starbucks! Who doesn't want a mini Expresso maker? (from our Friday Favorite, Restoration Hardware)

And let's just throw a wildcard (literally!) in here with this Luxe Faux Fur wine bag also available at RH. I just love it!

And NEVER underestimate the power of a day at the spa or back massage! Mama loves her pampering and R&R. :)

By: Unknown on 5/10/2013

My Friday Favorite is predictable and I really love that fact! The Great Gatsby is out in theaters today and the film's wondrous world of artistic costume design by Catherine Martin is simply divine. From red carpet looks of inspiration to translations on the runway and all the jewelry (OMG!), Catherine has set forth an innovative tone by bringing back the vintage art deco looks we all love…and perhaps can bring to our ready-to-wear lives in the here and now. Her collaborations with Prada on the costumes, the Ziegfeld Collection now at Tiffany & Co. and her director and writer husband, Baz Luhrmann speak volumes in just how talented she is. Get dazzled and browse through these costumes that will move and shake on the silver screen today...
