I had coffee with Lynn the other day, and we hadn't even sat down yet that she pulled TheHookup out of her purse, so she could safely hang her purse, and keep it off the floor.

Well, today is your lucky day because we are giving away two TheHookup purse holders. Click here to find out more about this giveaway, and good luck!

love quotes scarf in portobello

After I blogged about my favorite cardi/scarf combo, a few friends reached out to find out where they could get this Love Quotes scarf in that exact colour. So here we go, ladies! The colour is called Portobello. It's a beautiful warm beige colour with a hint of pink that is flattering to most complexions. And, it's available on Revolve Clothing. Woot!

And yes, I was wearing my favorite cardi/scarf combo at the Foodzie Popup Launch Party last November. Are you surprised? PS: I <3 Foodzie! Photo credit: Owen Smith.

inhabit cashmere cardi + love quotes scarf = <3

I thought I'd share my favorite cardi/scarf combo these days. I'd wear my Inhabit cashmere cardi in cobblestone and my Love Quotes scarf in Portobello every single day if I could. The colors blend nicely, and it has a comfy and casual yet sophisticated look to it. <3

alexander mcqueen skull chiffon scarf

Miss Ashley in da house! Ashley showed up at our volunteering training wearing this beautiful Alexander McQueen Skull chiffon scarf in navy/pink. This skull scarf is all around fffabulous. I *love* this navy/fushia color combo. Because navy goes well with jeans, and who doesn't wear jeans? And, fushia is a nice shade of pink, and which woman in her right mind doesn't love pink?

This Alexander McQueen skull chiffon scarf is also available in army/black, black/ivory or ivory/black. What your favorite color combo?

happy socks

These aren't just socks, they are Happy Socks. And, they've become my favorite socks to wear. Happy Socks socks come in a million colors and patterns, are extremely comfy and last the test of time. Get a few pairs that match your personality and wardrobe, and flash them to whomever want to see them. Fun fun! They make the perfect stocking stuffers, too.

Bonus: You can unintentionally mismatch them and noone will notice. True story.

louis vuitton hortensia sunglasses

I've made it a fffabulous tradition to always stop by the Louis Vuitton store when I'm in France...and snatch a few LV goodies while I'm at it. This time was no different. I go check out their sunglasses, and the first pair I try looks spectacular on me. Why, oh why?? The Louis Vuitton Hortensia sunglasses are bold, glamourous and timeless. I love the elegant square shape, the black color, and the refined monogram flower details on the corners; a cute LV detail without being 'in your face.' Because bold logos on sunglasses are overrated, in my opinion.

I'm also wearing the Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse leopard shawl in this photo. This is one of my favorite scarves to wear. <3

inhabit cashmere and cotton striped scarf

If there is one scarf you should get this season, this is the one. The Inhabit cashmere and cotton striped scarf is soft and luxurious with its 60% cashmere/40% cotton blend, and classic yet unique with its beautiful detailing and striped pattern. Available in gesso/smoke, cobblestone/smoke (pictured here) and in soil/cobblestone. I love them all! And, I may get them all, eventually.

just socks

I never thought I'd feature training socks on here but then the Lucy training socks are too fffabulous not to share. I have purchased a ton of socks over the years, but I always end up wearing the Lucy's. They are incredibly soft and comfy, discreet, and hold their shape wash after wash. And, they are available in a bunch of colors, including white, black, pink, white/pink and white/blue. Try them out; you won't go back!

lululemon athletica vinyasa scarf

Of course, I had to try the Vinyasa scarf that's made of the same fabric as the fffabulous Run: Turn Around long sleeve top. Don't they look fantastic together? This scarf makes the outfit, gives it some sophistication—and what not to like about looking casual AND sophisticated all at the same time, and it'll keep you warm, too. Like, like, and like. And, you can wear this scarf a million different ways, too.

lesportsac large weekender

Let's get back to reality a bit, and talk about things that are a bit more affordable than a Louis Vuitton carry-on. LeSportsac Large Weekender is another bag I can't travel without. It is light, sturdy, and so stylish. You can pack it in your luggage in case you need an extra bag on your way back (yay! for shopping), you can use it as an overnight bag, or simply to carry stuff around, including but not limited to your workout gear. But what I like most about this bag is that it comes in a large variety of fabrics, colors and patterns, so you can pick the design that fits your personality best (Bonus point: you'll recognize it right away on the baggage carousel at the airport). I personally love the Love U More pattern, spécial édition (pictured here). It's cute without being too much, and it reminds me so much of the Sonia Rykiel pink stripe pattern. Lovely!

louis vuitton pegase 55 in monogram canvas

Louis Vuitton recently released the Pegase 55 in Monogram Canvas, and I am totally gaga over it. If you're always on the road for business (or pleasure) and love beautiful yet practical things, the Pegase 55 is THE carry-on to get. First and foremost, this rolling suitcase is sturdy: the monogram canvas can't get scratched, the self-locking telescopic handle, leather handles and wheels will stand the test of time, and it comes with an easy-to-attach protective sleeve that completely covers the case (except for the handles and wheels) if you decide to check it in. Also, just like any other LV item, this piece of luggage is beautifully designed to make packing easier and smarter: it has one pocket on the front of the suitcase for your laptop, iPad and/or magazines; it also has one flat inside zipped pocket, two clothing protection flaps with zipped pockets, and one additional zip pocket for toiletries. That's four inside zipped pockets total. I like! And last but not least, it comes with a removable garment cover/hanger. Yes, you read that right—it comes with its own LV hanger! All in all, this baby ain't cheap but it's fffabulous and it'll last you a lifetime. You’ll just have to find new excuses to travel the world. Tough life!

lookin' fffabulous!

Running out of ideas this holiday season? Considering that pretty much everyone owns an iPad these days, how about giving them a fancy iPad case for Christmas? This DODOcase iPad case is truly fffabulous; it is handmade in San Francisco using bookbinding technique, and it looks just like a moleskine journal with its black faux leather cover, elastic strap and lightweight bamboo edge. And, you can even pick the interior color. Carrying an iPad around has never looked so fffabulous.

boho by moe munroe fingerless gloves

Boho by Moe Munroe fingerless gloves are the best accessory one can wear: they'll add a stylish touch to any outfit while keeping your hands warm and cozy. What else can you ask for? The leo classic and leo slate styles (pictured here) are my favorites; they make a boring black or grey sweater instantly interesting. These fingerless gloves also exists in tons of different styles, and make the perfect gift, too.

fffabulous sale: alberto fermani over the knee boots

Another pair of over the knee boots I had to get the minute I saw them. These Alberto Fermani Flat Leather Over-the-Knee Boots are beautifully made, with an incredibly soft leather, western topstitching, wooden midsole, and leather sole. The caramel color is exquisite and goes with pretty much anything, and I dig the color contrast at the toes. Wear them as is, or folded down, and get ready to receive a million compliments. These boots fit true to size.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any better than that...Take 30% off these fffabulous boots at checkout on NeimanMarcus.com. Offer expires 12/23/10 at 11:59 PM CT.
