TOP PICKS

SUNDAY, 8.29

I am in dire need of a new humidifier and just my luck, Gilt is having a sale on air purifiers, humidifiers and heaters.  But these aren't your typical humdrum ones, they're beautiful and functional pieces of art called Swizz Styles made by Stadler Form of Switzerland.  Check it out for yourself.

MONDAY, 8.30

Marc Jacobs sure does know how to make cute shoes.  If you need a little confidence boost, wear his sophisticated, spirited and youthful footwear from his Marc by Marc Jacobs line, which was introduced in 2001.  In April he was chosen to be one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world.  Check out his shoe collection at Ideeli.

TUESDAY, 8.31

Stop by Rue La La tomorrow for their Final Sale's Act 1 today and Act 2 tomorrow!  I hate that they don't show a sneak peek of their goods for these final sales.  But alas, we know that they're worth it, don't we?

I hear that the Riviera Maya coast is amazingly beautiful. Ideeli is having a great giveaway for the #1 rated resort in Playa del Carmen, the Banyan Tree.  I have been dying to visit this place!  It's fairly new (opened in March 2009) and it was rated one of the "Best New Hotels" by Travel and Leisure.  Don't miss this opportunity!  They are launching their Travel category and we're extremely lucky that the giveaway is for this spectacular resort!  Enter to win a trip for two for 4 nights in a garden pool villa.

WEDNESDAY, 9.1

Your pretty feet deserve some perty shoes.  Kathryn Amberleigh's diverse collection of footwear has a wide range of followers who are drawn to her fun, fresh and comfy stilettos, pumps and flats.  The inspiration comes from the mod '60's to the '80's to Hollywood's Golden Age.  Make sure to browse through the Women's Final Sale while you're at Gilt.

THURSDAY, 9.2

In dire need of a new computer?  Stop by Rue La La to see their assortment of HP notebooks & accessories.  My favorite is the Vivienne Tam "Butterfly Lovers" 210 Mini Digital Clutch. It's less than 1" thick, 2.69 lbs. and has a 10.1 diagonal widescreen display and doubles as a chic clutch.  It's easy to see why this was the talk of her Spring 2010 runway show.  HP & Tam hit the jackpot.  Beautiful, isn't it?  Retail starts at $600.

FRIDAY, 9.3

I enjoy wearing colorful and unique jewelry, especially if it's made out of glass.  The Venetiaurum Collection is made of Murano glass and precious metals such as gold & silver.  Crafted in Italy and hand made, these modern timeless pieces put a spin on the ancient art form. See what's hanging at Rue La La.
