Cyber Monday: All the best

Hello all you lovely holiday shoppers! I hope your waistline didn't expand too much on Thursday and that all your turkey sandwiches and green bean casserole leftovers also aren't nap-inducing. For those of you that aren't passed out now from all the noming Thursday and insane bargain shopping Friday, take a second to plan out your holiday shopping for tomorrow, Cyber Monday. This time shopping will be much easier as instead of having to go to any stores and wait online, you just go on your regularly-scheduled 15 minute break at work,  go to the website, click + click + credit card = done with your holiday shopping!

For those that didn't know as well, you don't always have to go to the stores to participate in Black Friday: I slept in Friday, went online, and did the rest of my holiday shopping without ever leaving my living, or my pajamas for that matter. Remember lovely, beauty sleep is important! And so is your sanity!!! No need to fight the crazy crowds when you're just a few clicks away from shopping sanity.

The Vampire Diaries

Hello all you beautiful people out there; Happy Twilight Weekend! For those of you who saw the movie the opening night; YESSSS! For those that haven't had the time yet, not to worry, I'm here to help you look every bit the stylish Twilight fan you are, without going overboard of course.

Twilight Time

$50 or Less



Not a necklace or t-shirt kind of a gal? Earrings are the perfect way to show your support in a chic and feminine way without going overboard, and you can wear them any time afterwards as the designs are lovely.



Team Jacob? Now you can show it! This is the best deal yet, because you get to wear a beautiful little picture pendant of your favorite werewolf. There's a he-wolf around your neck, open up and let him in.....



Need to write notes at work? Want to take notes for your Twilight fan novel? This beautiful moleskin notebook will be your best friend and make you look smart, and chic for having such a beautiful notebook on you.



A gorgeous little pendant necklace with lots of personality, without going overboard. The colors will make this go with any outfit, and the charms make it the only necklace you'll need.



These beautiful little pendants are perfect for the Twilight premier, or any time really. They're subtle enough to wear everyday, even to work, and also at the premier, Twilight fans will know exactly what you're wearing, and will want a pendant too to go with their Twilight gear. 




I love the different phrases they've come up with the "Keep Calm" t-shirts, and this one is no different; very clever and the color is lovely. It will stand out nicely but in the non-tacky way.





Alright fans, time to get your Edward and Jacob fix!!

Thanksgiving Threads

Hello lovelies! I hope everyone had the most amazing weekend and is now gearing up for some turkey and mashed potatoes! Yes, in exactly 10 days we will all feast and then go into a food coma for the rest of the evening. Today, as I was having some computer issues last night, I want to bring you some really fun different Thanksgiving outfits for a couple different scenarios you might encounter, as well as some tips for countering the urge to overstuff yourself.

Thanksgiving Threads

$50 or Less

Outfit #1


Most houses/places I've been to for Thanksgiving are heated so wearing a t-shirt and skirt inside the house isn't that odd for Thanksgiving. Also, you'll eat quite a bit so that will make you feel nice and warm and toasty.




This skirt is perfect for eating all the green bean casserole and turkey you want without showing it and still looking super cute. This laid back outfit is perfect for hanging out with friends for dinner, and afterwards if you want to go bowling or go play pool. 



I recommend wedges such as these to offset the billowy-ness of the top and skirt; you do need some structure to help pull it all together.

Total: $40

Outfit #2



Adorable jacket you can wear unbuttoned inside if you're still cold, or take off to reveal your sweet dress underneath.



Just the sweetest little fancy dress for meeting the parents in without going overboard. Any shoes will work with this outfit: boots, flats, sandals, sneakers even. Anything really works, save for bright orange high-tops. Then we might have a few problems.



Adorable belt; the perfect color to contrast with the dress and help cinch it in to show off your waist. 
Total: $42.80

Outfit #3



Throw this on and you're set. This outfit is the perfect outfit for a casual dinner with the family or friends, or you can dress it up with funky shoes for meeting your beau's family for the first time.



This adorable vest will look so lovely over your skinnies and sweater, and heaven forbid you get a bit of a turkey pooch, the billowy vest will help with that until you're finished digesting.



Cords always look amazing, and wearing tighter clothes will make you more conscious about eating so much. When they start to get too tight, that's when you know you need to lay off the mashed potatoes. Consider it double-duty skinnies. You can wear ANY shoes with this outfit: flats, boots, heels, anything goes with skinnies.

Total: $45.00

Cool Coats: $50 or Less

 Hey lovelies! I hope for everyone who just went though midterms that everything was smooth sailing. If any of you are having weird weather like we are here, then below are some fun jacket options for you. One day it's sunny and warm here, the next day it's cold and rainy and biting. Because of this bipolar weather, I've decided to outfit you, just in case.

Cool Coats

$50 or Less



Fun and funky, and warm to boot!



Considering the fact that this jacket was originally $108, and now it's only $20, you'll find a reason to wear this jacket. There's always a reason for a seriously marked down piece as gorgeous as this one.





Absolutely adorable; very lake house with a fireplace roaring inside.




Very New York City in December with thick clothes, red lips, and snowflakes falling around while cradling a warm coffee in your hands.



Fun, on-trend, and perfect for these cool winter nights.



I suddenly have the urge to go to an English garden and have tea by the fountain. Pair with red lips, loose waves and funky boots for a fun and put-together look.
 


Adorable and practical with a touch of rough feminine flair.



 
 Sugary sweet and perfectly put together with red lips and an updo.

Watch Yourself

Good evening lovelies! My original plan had been to bring you some pieces from the K-Dash line at QVC in light of recent Kardashian events. So, I was looking through the Kardashian line last night and realized it sucks, majorly. Everything was over-priced and just didn't seem worth anybody's time. As much as I respect the Kardashians and their fashion sense (You have to admit, they always look so well-put together) I just can't bring you anything from them. Maybe next season, maybe.

Instead, I'm going to bring you something else; watches. Now, I am not a watch girl by any means. I've never liked them, ever. My mother gave me a very expensive Diesel watch that she won and never wore (It wasn't her style); I gave it away just same since I don't wear watches. The only time I can remember wearing a watch is as a small child; I had a purple one with glow in the dark stars and moons. I think I only wore it because of the stars and moons.

While I was checking my email this morning, I stumbled across a sale on some watches that made me nearly trip over myself; I'm in LOVE.

Watch Yourself

$50 or Less

These beautiful watches are ALL from La Mer at Ideeli.com . This absolutely stunning collection caught my eye immediately because of the designs; these aren't your grandmother's watches! (Although vintage jewelry is very much so on-trend) The designs from La Mer are fresh and fun, and make you feel like you're wearing a really beautiful bracelet that just happens to have a watch face on it. 


They have classic silhouettes as well, and everything is $55 or less on sale right now. This sale ends in 24 hours, so I really and truly recommend heading over to Ideeli right now and snatching up a watch before they're sold out.



For all you hippie chicks out there, now you can keep track of time and still nod to your earthy side. This is  one of the coolest watches I've ever seen because it really toes that line between watch and bracelet effortlessly.



 So rough and tough and perfectly chic!




One of the prettiest colors for any bracelet, watch, or any accessory made to date. If you favor more of a classic silhouette, this is more your watch because it's smaller but it still has a wow factor because of the color and the band.



This is the perfect combination of lady-like and tough; I can see Lady Gaga wearing this watch.






Effortlessly cool; put this on and you don't need any other bracelets on that arm. I'd feel like I'm wearing a cuff and then realize that I can also tell time while I'm at it. Maybe I should start wearing a watch after all since I always seem to be running 10 minutes behind....



Other Fun Ideas

$50 or Less



Gumbi's favorite accessory.

I'm watching you, and the time too.



Modern vintage: right on time.



Boho yes!
