So truth be told, I kinda want an iPad…but really only because I’ve seen so many cute cases for them from all the best designers. When I spotted this MICHAEL by Michael Kors version, I nearly melted. The python print jet set case is oh so chic and also functionally padded with premium leather and a soft layer to protect your iPad. And, as someone who cracked her last iPhone, I can say that padding is crucial.

Holiday Gift Idea: for the nephew
So I have to tell you- I have FOND childhood memories of The Children’s Place. I don’t know why on earth I actually remember shopping there, but I do. My mom used to take me to the kids only store for all my new clothes and I remember they had these awesome circular things that you could climb in and out of and, of course, I spent all my time there climbing in and out while my mom picked out things and showed them to me. “Jamie, do you like this?” I look. “No!” I scream and go back to playing in the circles. Ah yes, I was a difficult child when it came to my attire. In fact, I only wore the color green (or greenish/blue) until I was about 4 years old, no joke.
Anywho, when I was offered the chance to attend a The Children’s Place shopping event at their The Grove Farmer’s Market store, I jumped at the chance. My little nephew Mark will be two years old at the end of January and now I’m totally the cool Aunt who bought him tons of trendy new clothes. I think what surprised me the most is how trendy the children’s stuff really is…I mean I picked out things for Mark that I’d love to see an adult guy wear- distressed denim jeans, toggle coats, graphic tees- amazing. I simply can not wait to give him all the new stuff I picked out for him- Best. Aunt. Ever.

Gift Idea: Make Up For Ever Aqua Eye Travel Holiday Set
So I’m a big fan of Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Eyes eyeliner. It’s definitely the best eyeliner that I’ve tried since it doesn’t smudge or run and yet still manages to provide some decently pigmented color and this is exactly why the Travel Holiday Set is fantastic. You get FIVE of the best shades for only $49! I also love the travel size metallic case that they come in…makes it very easy for travel.

Gift Idea: Beautyzzz natural silk pillowcase
So Beautyzzz is the absolute perfect gift for your mom. It’s luxurious, pampering and best of all, helps them relax after years of catering to you! Ah, how I sound like my own mother right now. What I didn’t know before trying out this all-natural silk pillowcase is that silk actually has the same pH level as your skin…crazy, right? I recently raved about Beautyzzz on TheFairest’s blog, since it was especially helpful in getting me some extra sleep while I was sick and I’m still enjoying it now. Why? Unlike your cotton pillowcase, the amino acids in silk proteins resemble those found in human skin, creating a virtually perfect pH balance that doesn’t deplete hydrating moisture. Beautyzzz is designed to work with your skin and hair to make your nighttime beauty routine more effective and it just feels amazing on your skin. Get one for yourself and your mom.
