TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR

If you're looking for some last minute stocking stuffers or just a great pair of fun, festive earrings that cost less than a chicken, check these out. I got them last week at Forever 21 and ever since then have been asked a) where I got them and b) were they really expensive. A lot of stuff from Forever 21 does look cheap but it's always rewarding when a $4.80 cent pair of earrings gets more praise than the $150 baubles. And being called "Sparkling Star Earrings", they were near and dear to my heart.

SAVE FACE

GOING THE DISTANCE

The holidays are a great time to up the elegant factor and one way to do that is with a long skirt. While everyone else will still be desperately clinging on to the short silhouetted mini dress, you can be the stand out. The longer the better. Pair it with a more casual top or cashmere sweater to keep it fresh.

STINGS A LITTLE

You iPhone people are really starting to irritate me. First it was the cool apps, then it was the great camera, now it's the cool accessories. Enough already! Can't anyone make a snazzy cell phone case for the non Apple folk? (yes, I wanted one but I don't get reception where I live. Fine. I've said it!)
I am willing to put aside my petty phone envy and allow your phone to be even more coveted with these unbelievably chic, cell phone cases made of stingray. They come in different colors and would make any iPhone happy. Like it needs that.
