Saving the world is tres chic and as you approach a new year, you (or your eco-friendly friends) might need some new re-usable bags. Alphabet bags offers a bunch of cute ones and you can also customize your own with letters and numbers. Easy as a-b-c..
Gifts of carmel apples…yum. And apparently, these are so giant that each weighs up to 3 lbs. That’s a whole lotta yum.
When you can’t make it to a party, just mail a party to your far away birthday friend.

This gift idea is in honor of my dear friend, Gemma, who just gave birth yesterday to an adorable baby boy. She works for Guess, the label behind this very cute blazer available now at Bloomies. Love love this look.

It’s no secret that I adore Intermix. They sell all kinds of goodies to make any fashionista, a happy girl, but this gift would make said fashionista, a happy and donation-inspiring girl.
Right now, they’re offering this one-of-a-kind tote bag for $48, with a portion of the proceeds going to Bright Pink, a national non-profit that focuses on empowering high risk women to take care of their breast and ovarian health.
The exclusive design comes from contemporary artist Marilyn Minter. One side features a movie still from Minter’s art film, Green Pink Caviar. In case you can’t remember which artist designed the bag (to brag to friends/family/fellow fashionistas), the back reads “marilyn minter green pink caviar presented by intermix for bright pink” in pink lettering. They’re smart over there at Intermix, I tell you…
I realize my fridge addiction may be going to far, but this Free People clutch is so cute that I had to post and it’s only $30!!! Please. It had to be done. And maybe one more night playing old country music? then we’ll stop, I promise.
but I’m enjoying this fringe necklace from net-a-porter. Give it to your most daring fashion girlfriend and tell her to channel a little Tanya Tucker. Maybe put on an old country song. It’s more fun than you think…
I’ve always been a Polaroid fan. My boyfriend bought me the Fuji Instax for my birthday and I’m loving being able to get these classic shots and then hanging them around the house. Here’s an example of how to hang them and the camera to get you poloroiding again…enjoy!
And I’ll definitely be dancing like I”ve never danced before…but, in my living room, shades drawn, channeling my inner Mia Michaels. Which isn’t a pretty sight.
But, I have such dancer envy over those crazy amazing dancers on So You Think You Can Dance, that I’m so excited that I could soon become one and burn a few calories all at the same time. I’m sure Mary Murphy will be putting me on the hot tamale train before I know it. The cardio workout dvd is now available through Amazon:
