Book of the Day

Sure we all have heard of Chanel, Dior, and Versace...but what do we really know about relatively new designers? 100 New Fashion Designers by Hywel Davies features 100 designers that are in their first ten years of their career either working alone on their own label or brand or teamed up into small companies showcasing collections. This book is perfect for any fashionista that wants to stay up to date with the fashion world.

Gift Wrapping 101

We'll be throwing some gift wrapping ideas your way this month because half the fun of giving (and getting a gift) is in the way it is wrapped. Now I have to admit, I'm far from being an expert gift wrapper...I am quite awful at it. But we'll be providing you with some easy to do wrapping ideas and instructions that ANYONE can do!
*************************************************

One of the easiest ways to wrap a gift is by just throwing it in a gift bag. We suggest you use gift bags with a twist---TOTE BAGS! Forever 21 has the cutest eco-friendly tote bags. They come in two prints. Large ones are $1.50 and small totes are only $1. I saw them in Forever 21 a few weeks ago...and they really are cute!

Christian Siriano for Payless

Christian Siriano has to be one of my all-time favorite winners of Project Runway (and probably one of my all time favorite contestants). It has me sad that I can't afford his amazing designs...but I will be able to in the fall of 2009! Christian will be designing a collection of shoes and bags for Payless! Payless will be taking his runway designs and transforming them into pieces that everyone can afford. These designs will be very wallet friendly ($25-45).

Will you be taking advantage of Christian's fierce designs on the cheap?

Beauty Buzz

I just received a sample of Dry Skin Hand Cream with 20% shea butter from L'Occitane. I have some really super dry hands...so I didn't have high expectations because nine times out of ten whatever type of lotion I use rarely works. But I thought why not try it...and OH MY GOODNESS!!! This hand cream is out of this world. My hands feel so soft! The scent of the cream is really nice too...like baby powder. If your hands start cracking when the winter gets rough, or if they can't stand up to the super dry heat in summer, then you need this product.

You can now get this product of Shea Butter Hand Cream in three one ounce tubes for $27 (regularly $30). Try it out and let us know what you think of it!
