It's getting cold outside and I'm sure everyone has some gift cards and checks from relatives that you can't wait to spend! I made a list of somethings that I will definitly be buying with my Christmas money.


1. Donni Charm:
donni forever. A cute infinity scarf inspired by a girl's father who passed away. This unique scarf is tied with a knot and has a charming hanging from it. It's not just a normal scarf, it's a statement. Click to see the scarf or click to read the labels inspiring story
2.O'Neill:
Day Bandeau. It might be cold out for some of us, but what about hot tubs and indoor pools? This strapless bandeau top ties in the front and is super cute. Want to see for yourself? Click here!
3. Free People:
Symphonia Platform Heel. These could easily be dressed up or dressed down and look cute from all angles! These lightly distressed leather booties have ribbon laces and leapord printed soles.
4. Kate Spade:
All Wrapped Up Pearls Short Necklace. Even though these are faux pearls and a gold plaited bow, it is very cute and who doesn't like Kate Spade? Check it out here!

Versace for HM







I wonder if the new prices ( a $299 leather jacket, a $249 dress, a $149 romper...) will go over well for Versace and HM. HM cheap fashion rep. may be tarnished by the high prices and the more runway look. Tell me what you think about this, I'll be sure to keep an eye on http://www.hm.com/ and see the full Versace for HM line coming out in mid-November. Here is a pic of some of the ads. I notice:

1. higher prices

2. not the normal "HM girl" image

3. so. many. embelleshments

-fringe

-studs

-bright colors

-everything is very similar (patterns of studs, silhouettes...)

First Post

Hello all!



This is my first blog and hopefully people like it! If you have any suggestions at all, please leave a comment. Have any cool beauty or fashion tips, hints, or tricks, let me know and I'll test it out and blog about it!



I found a cute (and inexpesive) skirt that follows the ikat/tribal print trend. It is currently on sale for $19.99 from $24.00 on http://www.macys.com/. It is from the Material Girl line, exclusively for Macys.



Also, I was reading through Teen Vogue and I found this cool nail polish. I'm not sure how well this works, but it was magnetic, so after you painted your nails you could create a ripple effect with the nail polish. Maybe this will be the new trend as the crackle nail polish fad dies down.
