Congratulations to my friends at LAGOS for launching their first National Campaign this week, MY LAGOS MY WAY (above). Featuring their Signature Caviar collection (which I happen to be a big fan off — love the stacked bracelets!), the campaign was shot by fashion photographer, Sharif Hamza.
Just because you waited until the last minute doesn’t mean the present has to feel anything short of thoughtful and pure perfection. Especially if these picks make the cut!
I spent the weekend in the Hamptons with StyleCaster at their glorious summer haven (pictures and full recap coming soon!). On Saturday night, Parker New York and HauteLook hosted a dinner and let me play dress up. As one to never pass up a great basic top (it’s a style staple!), I immediately fell in love with this Parker tank that features a partially open back white striped cut-out. The detail makes it more summery and give it a little somethin-somethin. Plus if it’s too risque for the office, just add a jacket over it and then peel it off for after work drinks. The girls from HauteLook introduced me to two new jewelry designers, t+j Designs, and Jami Rodriguez. t+j did the fabulous necklace I’m wearing and make great, affordable statement pieces, while Jami Rodriguez does a lot with chains and charms (two things I’m very into). Both designers will be available on HauteLook so be sure to sign up for their newsletter and stay tuned for their upcoming sales!

Who’s on top of their holiday shopping? Here are some of my personal picks of gifts I’ve gotten (mostly for myself) and loved!
1. Royal Apothic Conservatory Collection Candle in scent English Rose ($26) – this candle is lie a little piece of heaven. It’s a soy-blend wax and burns for 60 hours. It’s larger then it looks in the picture (5″h, 3″ square) and is gorgeous from package to scent. It’s like walking through a rose garden, the scent is superb.
2. Sarah H. Reynolds Original Frame Notecards & Envelopes ($22/set of 10) – I love sending cards and this versatile set includes two of each print of five original charcoal frame drawings and ten envelopes by NY based artist, Sarah Reyholds. Leave your love note, thank you, or even your own drawing or picture inside one of these beautifully drawn frame (or use stamps!) and send. I like that they are artsy and give you a foundation to customize the card and they work for number of different occasions so they are handy to have around.
3. International Sanctuary Beautiful Green Necklace ($40) – As seen in my video campaign with SpaFinder (and regularly in photos on my instagram page, I wear this necklace all the time. This website (and necklace) are amazing. iSanctuary works to help victims of human trafficking reintegrate by employing survivors. Their mission to end human trafficking through

And enjoy I did. Put me in a room with fabulous jewelry, and I can’t help but play! Just look at the clasp on these earrings (pictured below). The lovely Jene Luciani and I got all Lag0s-ed up and snapped a few shots.

My image doesn’t do this collection justice (so I had to include a shot of the original design and close up as well). The completely glamorous MUSE collection offers big, bold pieces in blue sapphire
