Bobble Till You Wobble


It might be a little late for Christmas, but these guys can make and deliver your custom bobble head in less than 7 days so definitely a good idea for gift giving! From a biker babe to the business man they really have the full spectrum covered. It's rather unfortunate that the women's bobbles love the crop tops, but if the crop isn't your thing you can always customize your own for a few cents more. Bobbles range from $79.99 to the customized one for around $159.99. Did I mention they do customized pets for $159.99 as well for the animal lover in your life. If you're still into bobbles as a desk accessory check them out.

What's Next in the World of Fleece?

AS SEEN ON TV

Snuggies have proved to be more successful than most infomercial products in recent years (no offense to the knives that can cut through cans). And they've even expanded into offering Snuggies for dogs! What's next, Snuggies for babies? Oh wait pretty sure it already exists! Getting to the point, Snuggie has a new cousin...the Necky. I don't think I've laughed this hard from a YouTube clip since that "Party in the USA" guys on the beach video! Thanks Lace for sharing!

Pome JUST OPENED

Ladies, a new boutique has opened in Dallas and just in time for some much needed personal shopping for the holidays! I saw the Daily Candy write up last week and it's been on my short list for over a week to stop by their new store located at Preston Center (between Cafe R&D and Taco Diner...can you tell it's around lunch time!). The owners, Jamie and Summer, are so incredibly sweet and will help you find that perfect New Years dress, and yes there's plenty of fun sequin numbers, or that incredibly soft and comfy sweater to snuggle up with by the fire this winter. I literally felt like I was in my best friends closet having them dress me. The only difference is that I had to make the purchases at the end of this fashion show. If you haven't stopped by, definitely add it to your short list. Loves!

All Aboard The Marrakech Express!

My Mom recently went to Morocco and I asked her to bring me back an authentic Moroccan lantern. She ended up finding them in a local market in Marrakech and they're are wonderful! You can spice up any room in your house or find a hanging one for inside or out...for the holidays or year-round. My only advice is to make sure they aren't super thin tin as they will feel a little cheap and probably wont last as long. They come in all sorts of bold colors or just clear glass depending on your preference. Do a quick search on google you'll find a few online retailers, eBay is always a good shot and even lighting stores and places like Hobby Lobby carry them these days, although I'm not sure they're all "Made in Morocco".

YSL Resort Shoes Are OUT!

Just got a sneak peak of YSL's resort shoe collection via Neiman Marcus (it doesn't seem the other leading retailers are wanting to release too many spring styles while they still have fall inventory) and they look amazing! I can't wait to see the full collection for spring/summer! Ladies, I know it's just now starting to get cold, but it doesn't hurt to look and besides they're all pre-order now anyways. Check them out, but be savvy because there are some deals to be found. For example, they have brought back the Tribute for another season and instead of featuring it in Camel like they did last season it's now featured in a color they call Sable, but that's really more pale nude...few shades lighter than last season. Regardless, they're both neutrals so if the difference in the two neutrals is no biggie for you (and might I add that their resort shoes ranging in neutral tones) it would be a nice savings of around $260. Shades of tans, beige dominate with pops of bright orange and some fuchsia.

Candle Delirium!


New obsession...candledelirium.com! What's the appropriate version of "foody" for candles? I have no clue, but what ever it is, that's me! I LOVE candles. I was in Miami recently and found a store where I seriously picked up 5 candles to then transport home. Candles are just one of those purchases that you don't have to have a skinny day, you can be happy, sad, indifferent and still find a scent for your mood. Pretty much the easiest sale in my opinion as long as you have the options to choose from. And if it turns out the scent is not your fav, just put it in another room or have it outside over a bottle of wine! It's no biggie!

Anyway, I found a new site that is pretty much amazing! Of course tons of local stores carry candles galore, but if you already know your fav brands and prefer to online shop like moi, this is a must!

To name a few of my favs they carry: Archipelago, Belle Fleur, Paddywax, Thymes (I just bough the Fasier Fir candle since i don't have a real Christmas tree this year, but it smells like I do now! Wonderful), Tocca, Voluspa, and many more. Also something cool that they offer is a Candle Every Season gift. Such a good gift for around $160. They also do a Candle of the Month and Candle Every Other Month gift. What's better?! Maybe accompanied by a Wine of the month! Needless to say, I'm a fan.  If you order more than $85 you get free shipping and gift wrap,  so stock up!
