This gift guide is for home but more for the folks that love to entertain….whether during the holidays or not. A touch of sparkle or metallic chic makes even the most mundane glasses festive. Keep the house smelling Christmas-y, the bubbly on tap, the guest room ready, and serving apparatus ready-to-rock. Welcome visitors and enjoy the holiday – either in your home or for the perfect host/ess!
Finding the perfect gift or even something different often takes a little doing when it comes to men because they don’t always know what they want (that we can afford…besides the Masarati).

This list works for any man that travels, wants to smell good (but manly), practices a bit of hygiene, likes to show his fun

Pink Martini rosette dress, $98 (the old gold is gorg, and fit-n-flare says festive; add a red lip and nails and you’re ready to rock) Gap trim puffer vest, $70 (I want a shell that allows me to run store to store but is light enough – no need for extra weight when you’ve got all those packages) Ivanka Trump Anita strappy heel, $135 (I want to be ready for any/every holiday party, and be able to cut-a-rug so these
It’s Holiday time and as much as I may not be a fan of holiday gift guides, I look at all of them and people always ask for them. So here’s my first list of a few that will come out over the next couple of weeks. All will give you plenty of time to secure the items and act like you had the gift all along. Today’s list is for the fashionable lady with lots….who just needs a few
These days options are endless including our “unmentionables”. How you select one item from another can totally depend on cost, quality, color, other preferences….or whether it’s made in the USA. While it’s admittedly not my first criteria, I love to support companies that support our economy, so when USA Love List said they’ send me some pretty underthings and I could give them away as well – it was an easy yes. I received the Sarah demi – and rocked
Born and raised in Paris, Isabel Marant launched her eponymous collection in 1994 and has been ‘on fire, since!

Ballet flats can be boring – we’ve all seen those – but the last year or so has seen flats make a stylish resurgence to flattering footwear. I’m not a ‘flats girl’ but I’ve caught myself looking at more than a few pair lately. These gunmetal flats from Gap can make a quick run to the grocery store or movie night super stylish. Agreed? Even Jessica Hart rocks them while walking her dog and looks good doing it!
