Today is my nephew Mark’s 3rd birthday. I can’t imagine anything else bringing so much joy to my life; he is truly the best thing my sister has ever given me and, being that he’s the only little one in my life, I am constantly one-upping my sister and parents when it comes to giving him gifts. Here’s what I went for this year, which, is especially awesome since he’s finally at an age where he really understands and appreciates his gifts.
Next up: a real life meet and greet with iCarly. I’m not kidding…how LA am I right now?
Kiwi Crate: My friend Devon told me about this awesome company. They create fun craft projects for kids and then mail them directly to each child. My Markie loves getting mail AND loves art projects so I signed him up for a 3 month membership.
Dylan’s Candy Bar Sugar Free Candy Mix: What kid doesn’t love candy? I decided to do my sister a favor and get the sugar-free version as to not send him off into a sugar high rage.
The Children’s Place Skull Socks: There are no words for how cute these are. Win.
The Children’s Place Canvas Fedora: My nephew is quite fashionable and so I know that he’ll love this canvas fedora, especially when it gets hot and the New York summer sun comes out.
Lately I’ve been saying the classic quote “why didn’t I think of that?” to myself a lot. I think the old quarter life crisis has been rearing it’s ugly head since a few of my friends and family have been working on/contemplating grad school, coming up with amazing business ideas and generally just doing really innovative things with their life…which, of course, makes me feel like I need to come up with an equally, if not better, idea.
Enter RentTheRunway.com. I was invited to an event at one of my favorites, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, so naturally, I was excited to attend. What makes this such a “I went to Harvard Business school idea” (and yes, I’m coining this term) is that dude, dresses are expensive. In a town like LA or NYC, you’re probably going to two or three events per week and how many times can you really wear that LBD? This is a problem that I always have. Texts go back and forth with friends that say “what are you wearing? I hate everything that I own and everything that I don’t hate, I’ve worn in the last two weeks.” The absolute WORST. With Rent The Runway, you can literally rent dresses, accessories, and jewlery for any special event that you have…and I’m talking like NICE dresses too. Sure, you might be giving up $100 bucks but you’re getting a designer dress so it’s especially awesome if you know there will be tons of photos happening. I mean, celebs borrow their clothes so why shouldn’t you?
News flash – two of my favorite things, Lady Gaga and Barneys New York, have teamed up to create Barneys 2011 Holiday campaign, GAGA’S WORKSHOP! The unique collaboration with Lady Gaga will bring together the talent of several artists including Eli Sudbrack and Lady Gaga’s own Fashion Director, Nicola Formichetti. For the first time ever, Barneys will convert an entire floor of its Madison Avenue flagship into a dedicated space for the holiday initiative, starting in mid-November.
What I’m super interested in will be the selection of small gift items that Gaga designed along with Nicola Formichetti where 25% of sales will be donated to a charity of Gaga’s choice – what a great holiday gift. I seriously can’t wait to check this out when I go back to New York for Christmas this year.
Tonight was definitely a fun night. I was invited by the super chic BECKLEY Boutique in West Hollywood to style a mannequin that will be displayed in their store for a few weeks(!) for customers to vote on their favorite look!
Naturally, I was elated and honored. It was a tough decision but I ended up going with the look to the left – a Camilla and Marc bow and arrow dress topped with a brown studded suede jacket and gold chain link bib necklace (both not available online). This is a very “Jamie” outfit; you’ve got a cute dress (that shows the cleavage), studs and a statement necklace, all of which I totally love.
I have to admit, the other bloggers who are participating in the contest are definitely some tough competition so please vote for me, if you like my look 🙂
Make sure to “like” BECKLEY on Facebook, follow them on Twitter (and vote for me!)
So a few weeks ago, I was announced as one of Sole Society’s Fashion Insiders! If you don’t already know, Sole Society is the brain child of the infamous HauteLook.com and it’s just as fun and fancy. Basically you take their Style Quiz to discover your Style Bio and personalized selection of designer-quality shoes (and seriously, they are designer-quality). You then pick your favorite pair from the shoes that are determined right for you and they ship to you for free. Membership is $49.99 a month, quite the bargain for ANY pair of shoes, AND if you don’t like any of the shoes they have, you can simply just skip the month. I’ve got two pairs and I’m totally OBSESSED with both of them; they’re incredibly comfortable and super cute.
Make sure to check out the site for some fun quotes from me and, of course, stay tuned for more shoe posts from me.
