I just love jewelry by Alexis Bittar.  He is a genius!  His website, www.alexisbittar.com shows all of his beautiful creations...but I am most excited about the 50% off sale they are having right now.  If you are looking for a new piece of statement jewelry to give your outfit the perfect "pop, please check out his sale page.  There are over 100 items on sale.  I am in love with these parisian bangles.  Amazing!!!

Wishing and hoping for...



I really adore Nicole Ritchie's sense of style.  She has really come into her own and her jewelry line is phenomenal.  I would wear almost all of her pieces.  I am especially liking the double starburst chain (29" long...perfect length!) and the peacock locket (37" long).  The necklaces are $88 and $120 respectively.  Her new fall pieces are set to launch in September and look equally as amazing.  You can find her jewelry at www.shopthetrendboutique.com.

Fall 2010 Chanel nail colors


Quick...RUN, don't walk!  Chanel has unveiled their new fall nail polish colors and they are GORGEOUS!  Since their debut of Vamp nail polish so many years ago, Chanel has been considered the leader in nail color trends.  They are 100% spot-on.  Their new fall colors, Paradoxal and Jade Rose, are so pretty, I consider them both "must haves".  Paradoxal is a a taupey-purple, that is must less iridescent than it looks.  Jade Rose is that perfect pale pink that is so pretty on the fingernails.  Both of these colors are available at Nordstrom Chanel counters...but not for long!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale -- my picks

Okay ladies...the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, THE SALE OF ALL SALES, is coming mid-July.  I got to pre-shop the sale, and let me tell you the selection is great (especially in shoes)!  Unfortunately I cannot add pictures for most items, as they are not yet on the website.  You can look in the anniversary catalog to see my picks (my catalog arrived yesterday).

1)  Bobbi Brown "chocolate and navy set" $75:  5 gorgeous eye shadows, mascara, lip gloss, lipstick in Brownie, caviar ink eye liner.  GREAT deal for my favorite makeup brand!

2)  Kut from the Kloth skinny jeans $45.90 and Cookie Jeans skinny bootcut $99.

3)  Cole Haan Avalon riding boot $229.90 in chocolate (that's over a $100 savings for these high quality boots!).

4)  AGL leather flats on sale!  These sumptuous leather flats (handmade in Italy!) NEVER go on sale, but they will be soon!  They come in black/pewter, chocolate/bronze, and ivory/black colorways...and have an adorable chain detail across the cap-toe.  My best find of the sale!  

5)  Cute athletic jackets from Nike in white and lavendar and a Zella athletic jacket in green.  Great for jazzing up your workout clothes.

6)  Amazing bras (Natori, Wacoal, Chantelle) and Honeydew undies!

7)  Adorable multi-colored infinity scarf (comes in a variety of color ranges, but I love the coral).

8)  For my son:  Volcom shark hoodie (he has been dying for one of these!), faux leather jacket (only $39!), Nike tennis shoes, thermal shirts and soccer/sport clothes.

9)  What I'd love to buy, but won't (because, hey, you can't have it all!):  DKNY trench coat -- so chic! ($98.90), Kooba python bag ($349.90 -- this is an AMAZING price for a Kooba bag), Alexis Bittar hinged bangles -- an instant classic ($176.90), gorgeous Via Spiga dress pumps in snake print ($129), Elie Tahari grey and black jacket -- so cool ($218.90), Me Too Ankle bootie with hidden platform -- hot to trot! (72.90).

Adorable t-shirts for little ones!

Do you have a little boy or girl, or do you need a gift for a cool kid?  Look no further!  I LOVE these t-shirts by clothing company "10 again".  These adorable shirts come in a variety of sizes, from 2T on up.  They are $17.90 (on sale) up to $28 full price.  You can get them at nordstrom.com, kitsel.com or 10againclothing.com (this site has EXCELLENT customer service).  The t-shirts are well made, and look great on their own, or with a long sleeved shirt underneath.  That way your child will get to wear their t-shirts spring, summer, fall and winter!

My son, who is 10 years old, loves this company's "Wacky Packages" line (see the Slacker Jack picture).  He has quite a few, and these are the shirts that get the most rotation in his wardrobe.  When he wears them, they are ALWAYS a topic of conversation.  These shirts run up to a size 14.
