Stocking Stuffers

It is the week before Christmas and all through the town people were rushing around in hopes to find the perfect last minute gift. If that sounds like you or even if you are just looking for some exceptional stocking stuffers that will make them say "ooo! I love this." then there is no need to worry because I pulled some great gift ideas that it wasn't in the season of giving I'd buy for myself.

Black Gloves - $18

Everyone...I mean everyone...needs a pair of black leather gloves. Classic. It is also fits perfectly into a hanging stocking.

Banana Republic Bracelet (new with tags) - $18 

If jewelry is what you want to give to make that stocking or last minute gift extra special there are plenty of options. Including this new with tags Banana Republic graphic bracelet that open and closes.

What girl doesn't love something that comes in a Juicy Couture box and has something in it that sparkles? This is the perfect last minute gift. Actually it is just the perfect gift.

Earrings - $12

I am in love with these earrings they have all sorts of great traits, leopard print, little bows, and sparkles! If you are looking for something small to just surprise someone with, I'd say go with these beauties. You won't be disappointed.

There are three things a woman cannot have too much of chocolate, shoes and jewelry. You definitely cannot go wrong with a bit of fun jewelry either because this necklace is adorable and dress up any normal and everyday outfit.

Every girl needs a good cocktail ring in her collection, it is the icing on the cake. If you don't know where to start, start with this one. It is simple enough and has the wow factor any cocktail ring requires.

Rocking Around The Christmas Tree

It is the most festive time of the year! There are parties on every night for work with your significant other, night out with the girls, cookie exchanges with the neighbors, family dinners and just about any other excuse we can come up with to get together and celebrate. If you are anything like me, I am sure you have capped your budget just buying presents for everyone else and now you are looking at your calendar thinking I have to find something to wear! Have no fear, I was at Fifi's last week and pulled some amazing ideas for you. 


Let's start with some of you ladies you may already have a simple dress but just need to spruce a simple black dress or even a sleeveless dress that needs a sweater to go with it. Here are a few options. 

Lisli - $60
Size Medium
(received in store 11/8 now 20% off)

This Lisli 3/4 sleeve sweater is perfect for the holidays because it is all glitz and glamour. The buttons have some sparkle and the collar is all about the dazzle take this sweater to any of your previously owned dresses in your closet and you will definitely make a statement when you walk into a the room. 

Trina Turk Jacket - $45
Size 8
(received in store 8/29 now 20% off)
Calvin Klein Dress - $40
Size 6

I have to just say that I know that I put this look together but I am in love with this jacket by Trina Turk and I have it over a Calvin Klein dress, so it you are looking for the perfect combo this is definitely it. A classic black and white will make a statement. The beauty about this jacket is how versatile it truely is. If you are not looking to purchase the CK dress (though let me just say first hand, the pleating on this dress making it amazing) this jacket would look killer with a red dress too.Not only a red dress but you could take it a totally different direction and wear it with dress and an amazing pair of pumps. The possibilities are truly endless. 

Coldwater Creek - $34
Size 12

What I love about this Coldwater Creek dress is that flow of it. As soon as I saw it on the rack and pulled it,  it just made me more happy about the holidays. This is definitely a center of attention dress. The great thing about this dress is the draping at the waist will make your waist look smaller and you won't need to worry about a sweater or anything bulky because you have the sleeves and a great length. 

Aryn K - $36
Size Medium

Let's say you weren't very well behaved at the company party last year and you want to make a better impression this year. This winter white suit is the way to go. Or you have a holiday dinner with your husband's/boyfriend's/SO's boss, this maybe the way you want to go. It is classic. The pearl detailing will make you want to cry. I promise you will make a big impress this Aryn K two-piece suit. 

MODA International - $29
Size Medium

Not all of us need to get really dolled up for our holiday parties, so what you are looking for maybe a bit more on the simple side. This sweater dress by MODA International may just be up for fashion alley. I would suggest some colorful tights (black.. burgundy) boots and a chunky necklace. And you will be ready to go. 

BCBG - $40
Size 4
(received 9/12 now 50% off)

The final dress for today, is the deep wine color velvet like dress by BGBG with an embellished belt. It maybe one of my favorite picks. The materials and color just speak winter, this dress is definitely date worthy...and if you don't have a date for the night you just may get a few numbers by the end of the night! 

Enjoy your holiday parties and rocking around the Christmas tree!
