Valentine Gifts 2011…Rose Gold Jewelry

To give/receive jewelry is a safe and sometimes boring gift, but still MUCH appreciated. However, instead of the traditional yellow gold or silver, rose gold adds a bit more whimsical and romantic flair with its soft pink hue. Not to mention, I’ve been obsessed with owning some rose gold. Can you believe that I don’t have any rose gold in my forever expanding jewelry wardrobe. I need to end that or better yet, the BF needs to end that for me.

To help you and me drop hints, here are some super cute and V-Day appropriate rose gold jewelry that would make any Valentine’s Day and everyday after that beautiful!

  1. Baby Elephant Friendship Necklace, $37, Jennifer Elizabeth
  2. Arielle Collection Wide Band Ring, $42, Nordstrom
  3. Rose Vintage Key, $128, KiraKira Jewelry by Suzanne Somersall

OBSESSED:Crabtree & Evelyn Lip Butters

Last week, Crabtree & Evelyn sent me a box some products from their latest collection that I dish with you about in the very near future. However, also in that box (as seen on my Facebook and Twitter pages) was three tubes of their new Ultra-Moisturizing Lip Butters.

These lovely little tubes are filled with ingredients that practically ensure soft moisturized lips such as shea, cocoa, illipe, and kokum butter and mango butter.

The formula is a thick texture, but almost instantly melts when it touches your lips without a greasy and or sticky feel.

They are available in  Vanilla Creme Brulee (think: vanilla cupcake), Creme de Menthe (mint), and Citron Creme and Honey (awesome!). Although they are scented, the scent is soft and not overbearing, which I appreciate!

I love using them at night after I slightly exfoliate my lips by brushing them with a wet toothbrush and them apply lip butter afterward. That way, I wake up to soft and supple lips!

These are available currently available at www.Crabtree-Evelyn.com and all CrabTree & Evelyn stores. Just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Kourtney & Kim Take New York…while keeping warm!

This Sunday is the series premiere of Kourtney & Kim Take New York which follows the celebutants/fashionistas as they try to open up their first Dash store in NYC while dealing with business and personal issues along the way.

However, despite the stressful situation, they never seem to let it affect their style, because they stayed decked out in some of the hottest fashions for cold weather.

Keep reading to take notes on how Kourtney and Kim took New York in style!

Scarves are winter staples. That’s a give, but there are so many styles and sizes available. Kourt and Kim seem to fancy the long and layering ones, as do I.  They are versatile and are often lightweight enough to carry you from fall to early spring.

Unlike the layering scarves, I’m not into the next winter staple that Kourt and Kim indulged in while in NYC…fur. They were each seen rocking some luxe fur jacket or coat. Kim loves her furs!

Leopard print can be worn all year round, but there is something about winter that just screams “Bring on the leopard print!” As you can see, Kim just wanted a pop of print and decided to do that with some wedge booties. However, Miss Kourtney kind of went all out by donning a plush leopard fur coat. FYI, the lady with 3 different leopard print accessories walking behind them is their hairstylist. Maybe, she influenced them that day!

Every fashionista needs that one winter coat look that is classic and can top any casual or fancy outfit. Kim and Kourt seem to both take a liking to the classic and structured knee length coats, thigh high suede boots, and beanie berets. I must say, that this is my favorite winter top coat look.

This is one of best shopping times for a fashionista. It’s the time when most retailers are trying to move out all of their winter stuff to make room for spring collections.

Shopbop.com currently has up to 70% off all of their winter items including clothes and accessories from designers such as Alexander Wang, Michael Kors, and Elizabeth and James.

So, I thought I would let you know before you sizes and wants are sold out.
