a fffabulous weekly planner

The other day, I noticed that Miss Alex had the most fffabulous weekly planner. I asked her where she got it, and she mentioned it is from PAPAYA! FFFabulous! So, if you are not a fffan electronic organizers (gotta write everything down!!), and are still writing your to-do's and appointments on post-it notes, this PAPAYA! 2010 Weekly Planner is THE planner you've got to get on this last day of January 2010. And here is why. Thanks Alex!

"Every year around the holidays I begin my search for a very important item: my annual planner for the upcoming year. This is a crucial purchase because as a lady who loves making lists, I cannot live without a planner where I can plot out social events, write birthday reminders, and craft seemingly endless to-do lists. This year I am pleased to say I've found the most fffabulous, beautiful weekly planner. It's made by PAPAYA! and is both lovely to look at and completely practical.

I was first drawn to it because I love the artwork and quote on its cover (Follow Your Bliss)—in fact, my sister gave me the same card (also made by PAPAYA!) a few years ago for my birthday. Upon closer inspection, I realized that this beauty was also very functional. Aside from the standard notes and events I track in my datebooks, I nearly always end up with some assortment of receipts/business cards/important documents that I want to keep with me. With previous planners I have always been irked because they don't have any pockets or folders to keep these precious papers safe. Well, fffear not fffellow fffabulous readers, the PAPAYA! 2010 Weekly Planner also boasts an internal accordian file pocket. There's also a section for important dates and notes. This planner does it all! Every week has a gorgeous vibrant design and ample space for events and tasks.

Order this PAPAYA! 2010 Weekly Planner for $24, and feel good knowing it's printed on recycled paper. With this planner, your New Year just became a whole lot more fffabulous!"

love quotes, etc.

A beautiful scarf is the trendiest accessory this season. And the Love Quotes scarves are THE scarf all celebrities wear. And for a reason! This scarf is soft (made of linen and viscose), light weight, and comes in tons of fffabulous colors. It'll accessorize a basic tee/jeans outfit, or serve you as a pashmina when you go out. FFFabulous! If you don't own one of these scarves yet, I recommend you get a beige/off-white color just like Lauren Conrad, or a taupe color like Nicky Hilton (pictured here). These are classic colors that will go with just about anything.

And, what's not to like about reading a fffabulous love quote on the tag? Mine says: "Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart." -Washington Irving. Awww!

a wardrobe staple

You've seen the summer version of this jacket a couple of month ago (in Dove Grey). Well, here is the black version! The Jet by John Eshaya Blanket Jacket in Black is simply fffabulous. Wear it with a basic tank top, a pair of designer jeans and stilettos (or flats), and you'll look so elegant! You can also cuddle in it when traveling, and won't have to worry about it getting all wrinkly. Get it while it's still available. It's a wardrobe staple!

t los angeles vest

I discovered yet another cashmere brand, and I'm already addicted to it!! T Los Angeles has some fffabulous cashmere sweaters, and one of my fffavorite items this season is their cashmere rib lapel vest. It is made of 100% fine gauge cashmere, and I love the style, with the drape on the front. Wear it over a short sleeve tee or a tank top, accessorize with a long gold necklace and you're set. Day and night! I got it in the wheat color, which is not a color I own, and it's so classy and sophisticated over a white top! I may get it in navy too, just because.

golden goose charlye pull-on boots

Riding boots are hot this season. You see them everywhere you go, and they've been on my wish list for ages. I've been eyeing this pair of Golden Goose Charlye Pull On Boots in Dark Brown since last August though. In fact, I check them out online every week, hoping that they'll eventually go on sale (because these babies aren't cheap.) Sizes were selling out, so I decided to splurge while I could (or I would regret it forever. I've been there before and it's not pretty!). These boots are gonna be fffashionable for many years, and they are so versatile, so I assume that the price per wear will eventually be very low. Good thinking, right?

What I love most about these leather boots are the dirty, distressed finish, the metal tab and strap detail at ankle, and the wrinkling at the shaft. These make for a very unique pair of boots you'll never see on anyone else. Speaking of which, that may be why the price is so unique, too. Hehe! I'm also going for the dark brown boots, but these are also available in black and in nut colors.
