Christmas by the Alphabet


Just to jazz things up this soon-to-be holiday season, here is a list of gifts (all under $25 dollars of course--we wouldn't want to waste money on other people when we have plenty of things on our own Christmas lists!) from 'A' to 'Z'. Ironically, they all happen to be things on my list as well.





B is for: Preppy Backpack--personalized, of course!



C is for: Coin Purse




(well ok, it's for golfing, but who the hell golfs?!)


F is for: Fleece Jacket


(the gift that will last a lifetime, literally)


H is for: Etsy Headband





J is for: Jewlery, specifically engraved earrings



K is for: Photo Key Ring


L is for: Lilly Boxer Shorts
(to sleep in of course!)



M is for: Travel Mug by Lilly Pulitzer










Q is for: Quirky Books
(My favorite is 'Passive Aggressive Notes')





S is for: Sailor-Inspired Bag (Monogrammed, naturally)





U is for: UF Wristlet



V is for: Vino--the personalized kind!




(so maybe I'll just wrap the other 25 gifts in this one)





Z is for: Zebra-Printed Clipboard (with your initials)




Shop, shop, shop!

Oh Shift!

Shifts you'll live in!

I let this one get away last year, but it's back! Shoshanna revamped this beloved dress by changing the cut of the back and adding pockets with too-cute button detail.



Only Lilly can make the fish of Florida look great in print!


Don't let the solid print fool you--this shift can be dressed up or dressed down and is oh so flattering!

Via Palm Beach!

It's spring time and that means time to change up the wardrobe ladies!Put away all those dark winter clothes and pull out your pinks, greens, and yellows! There are so many great new accessories this year from our friend Lilly, take a look at a few of my favs--Ohmigod!!



Even though you may love those old beat-up bridge cards your friends still haven't noticed are marked, it'll be worth losing a few games for these gems!



And you can't keep score with that boring ol' bic, time to upgrade to a matching Lilly pen! You'll give acessorizing a whole new meaning when you match this fab pen to your new Cabanarama Shift!




We all know that's Bailey's in your coffee, but at least add some class to drinking at 10 in the morning with this matching Cabanarama mug.

Five Gifts Any Girl Should Love!

Christmas is getting closer, but more importantly, Black Friday is just two weeks away! After you shove your way up to the front of the line to ensure you get another free JcPenny's snow globe to add to you collection, you're going to need a game plan for navigating the rest of the day. Take my advice, and just print the list below.

1. Boosted Stiloso Headphones: College student on your list? Do them and their roommates a favor by gifting them these oversized retro headphones. Premium vintage-style headphones with ultra high-end sound - the ultimate upgrade for anyone's personal sound system. Target, Fred Flare and Best Buy all carry them, but my personal favorites are the beige Urban Outfitter model. Need a store near you? Click here.

2. Murval Giraffe Print Jute Bag: Although this bag has our favorite animal print on it, it is one-hundred percent PETA friendly. Greener than even cotton, this bag is both environmentally friendly, and totally fabulous! Even your gay best friend would faint for this gem! Visit the Murval website and stock up.

3. Ashley Brooke Designs Stationery: Let's face it, everyone wants to have a few note cards on hand to give to gracious hosts, or close friends, even if they never actually send them. Give your recipient a reason to procrastinate! With these adorable personalized note cards, you won't even want to waste one on a lame party host, or you best-friend's ex's sister twice removed. Miss Brooke just launched her website this month. And make sure you opt for the monogramming option.

4. Argyle Gap Sweater: Young or old, argyle is a staple for anyone's wardrobe, and this Gap crewneck is this season's staple! Need I say more? Find the closest store to your crib here.

5. Baekgaard Cell Phone Wristlet: Does your granddaughter drop her cell phone, like Cingular drops her calls? Protect that baby with this baby. A line from Vera Bradley, this chic wristlet is an all-in-one wallet. Although store locations are limited, it is worth your time to find the violet/kelly color pair, or order online.

TOMS Shoes


Happy Halloween! I hope it is "fa-boo-lous"! In honor of dear all hallows eve, I am posting an item not remotely related to Halloween. These shoes are Navy/Natural Twain Canvas TOMS. They are super cute, super comfy, and super politically correct! For each and every pair of TOMS shoes purchased, another pair will be donated to a child in need. Now that's the Christmas spirit! Plus, the pair shown here has "The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter" by Mark Twain, written on the canvas. Save children in Africa here. (I wear a size 8, in case you are interested!)
