Guest #PISCES CORRESPONDENT on Eye4Style.com!

My friend Dina came up with an absolutely brilliant holiday gift guide idea theme this year – astrological signs.  GENIUS.  Make sure you check out my picks for Pisces women HERE along with her other posts for Aries, Gemini and Leos.

Two of my Pisces gift ideas are pictured above, both ocean-themed, obviously.

Holiday Gift Guide: what I’m getting mom


Canvas Pop: The hardest part about this is deciding WHICH photo to choose.  This site takes your Instagram pics and turns them into a gorgeous canvas, perfect for anyone, really…

Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier: I got my mom the brown version of this bag for her birthday a few years ago and she became obsessed.  I love the maroon (e.g. super trendy oxblood) for an update on the bag…and I’m sure she still won’t let my sister borrow it.

LATHER Survive & Thrive Holiday Survival Kit: As you know, LATHER makes some pretty amazing products, so clearly, I wasn’t surprised when they came out with the perfect anti-stress kit just in time for the most stressful time of the year.  And who gets more stressed out than mom?  Muscle pain relievers, Clear Head Balancing Balm (which I adore), an aromatherapy calendar and some calming facial mist…LOVE.

The Monday Rundown


Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance 12-Hour Lipstick: As you know, I’m a TOTAL sucker for packaging and Tarte always takes the cake, aside from the actual gorgeous color, of course.

Philip Crangi frame: Neiman Marcus for Target collection?  Yes, please.  I’m in LOVE with this frame.

Thale Blanc Pouchette: I’m always looking for the perfect concert purse.  One that will hold the necessities (credit card, cash, cell phone and lip gloss) and this pouchette is perfect for such an event.  I love the cross-body chain strap and it’s just the right size for everything you would need.

Red velvet cupcake in a jar: The whole cupcake in a jar thing has been done but, hey, I’m still not over it.  And red velvet? YES.

Attention LA: Shop a Blogger Charity Flea Market This Sunday!


If there’s one thing I hate (among many things), it’s an awkward photo shoot but hey, when Sydne is styling it, I know I’m going to be in good hands.  This is exactly why I agreed to stand in front of a white screen wearing Sydne’s size 2 clothing (the polka dot dress is not even close to being zipped up in the back, btw) while holding my coveted beauty products.  Well there’s that AND the fact that we’re selling our stuff this Sunday at Space 1520, with 100% of the proceeds to benefit the Bill Foudation– an LA based animal rescue group.  If you’re in the area, definitely stop by because we are selling some GOOD STUFF.  And, it’s not just the two of us.  The amazing Shauna of PennyChicJoEllen Lu of Shop Tarte and Chanelle Laurence of The Penelope Times will be showing off their blogging fueled fashion retail skills. And indie designers Jenny Dayco, Shallow Fashion and Kittinhawk will also have pop up shops.

Here’s a sampling of what’s for sale AND me being a suuppper awkward model. ENJOY.                                           
                                              I can’t even with how cute Bunny looks wearing this scarf.


A big thanks to Synde for creating these amazing images and an even bigger thanks to Kelsi for organizing such a great event.  And again, this is just a sampling of some of the pieces we’ll be selling: real leather and suede jackets, trendy polka dots, CHANEL No. 5 lotion, DKNY fragrance, Urban Decay’s coveted NAKED eye palette and Jimmy Choo for H&M sandals! There will also be stacks of designer denim for $30 each (many never worn and in various sizes)!

See you all Sunday.

Diane Von Furstenberg & Evian: a collab I can get behind

I know, I know…every designer has partnered with a non-fashioney brand but I’m really into this collaboration because one, DVF is amazing and two, I love me some Evian.  Diane Von Furstenberg & Evian have partnered to design the latest limited edition bottle which reflects a playful celebration of life and features a nod to DVF’s iconic mantras with “Water is Life is Love is Life is Water is…” which graces the bottle with her own distinct handwriting along with the ubiquitous heart DVF logo in a special hue of red, created exclusively for the Evian collaboration. 

 
The bottle, composed of 100% recyclable packaging, is sealed with evian’s new screw cap design.  The DVF Limited Edition 750ml bottle will be available in the US  at www.shop.evian.us at $7.99 per bottle.
