However, the Card Cache is. It’s a stylish keychain for your cards. Simply hole punch the corners of your promotional cards and

Inspired by movement, Alfred Kenney manages to dovetail simplicity and elegance while still being completely edgy and modern. Which just

Lancome declares October 22nd Genes Day –who knew you could do that? Then again it’s for a great cause, so we endorse it! The day will serve as fundraiser in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, with the luxury brand pledging to donate a minimum of $100,000.  Go Lancome!

Gilt Groupe Wedding Shop – Starts Today!

Calling all brides! Today at noon Gilt Groupe is launching a wedding sale. Unlike their regular 1-day sales, this event will last until midnight on Sunday, 10/24 with a different theme everyday.  If you’re planning a wedding, or even in one (that’s me! proud bridesmaid to be), you’re probably well aware of all the expenses associated with both and that it’s hard to skimp for your big day.  So at up to 60% off, Gilt has you covered.

As a side note: all you guests attending the wedding, check out the Michael Aram selection on the last day of the sale (10/24). I’m so fond of his work and aesthetic. In my opinion, his pieces truly make the perfect wedding present.

Here’s the official schedule:

Day One: For the Bride and Groom

Key brands include: Alberta Ferretti, Vera Wang Collection
