so much yum

Okay, I'll admit that I am a bit obsessed with Fornasetti in general and its candles in particular. The candles are one of these small pleasures in life that makes everything sophisticated and pretty. The Fornasetti Flora Lidded Candle is no exception: it features Fornasetti's house muse Lina Cavalieri in the guise of the mythical fertility goddess, it is colorful and fun; and just like any of its candles, it smells so yummy. Its musky floral scent created by master perfumer Emmanuel Philip blends notes of lily of the valley, white rose, orange blossom, jasmine, tuberose, sandalwood, and musk. Oh. My. God. 

Where to buy? Barneys | Amazon

pretty red lips

Another Fornasetti favorite: their candles. Why? They are original with beautiful designs—in this case with a lithographic image of house muse Lina Cavalieri's nose and red lips; they smell super yummy—in this case it's all about Fornasetti signature scent's warm Otto fragrance; imagine a mix of lavender, cedar wood, incense. Incroyable. And when 60 hours of burn time have passed, you can reuse this beautiful lidded ceramic container to store pretty much anything in the bathroom, at your desk or by your bed. Worth every penny; and makes for a beautiful hostess or birthday gift as well.

Where to buy? Barneys New York. Of course.

making the jump

On a typical -day or- night out, you will either find me:

• Out of battery. And in that case you don't want to come close to me. Or maybe you should because this is probably the only time I won't be glued to my phone. He!
• Phone switched off because I have 5% battery left and I'll need those 5% to order an Uber eventually. 
• Standing by a power outlet, charging my phone so I can order my Uber as soon as my phone has come back to life.
• Falling in love with a friend a bit more because they happen to have a battery pack handy. That would be my friend Sarah. I <3 you, Sarah.

Now, you may wonder why I haven't invested in that battery pack already. Like how hard can this be? Well, the only thing that has been preventing me from getting that life-saver Uber-friendly battery pack is #allthechoices—which one to get? and that I'll now have to also remember to charge that battery pack as well. Unless that battery pack doubles into a charging cable. Which happens to be what the JUMP cable is all about. Which means I am ordering it right now. And so should you because it's fffabulous, and chances are: I won't be sharing mine. Per the above. <3

be tough

I don't think there is a tee-shirt out there that is quite as cool as this one. The Be Tough tee is unassuming in the front, totally badass in the back, and just plain fffabulous overall. Get it online on Atypyk; and check out all the cool stuff they sell on there. I love everything!

totally hooked

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. I think I stared at this fffabulous purse holder a million times, and secretly wished I owned one, too. Isn't it the cutest accessory ever?

PS: Check out TheHookup Facebook fan page to see how people use it; fffabulous, isn't it?

we <3 thehookup

I had a crush on TheHookup the minute I saw it. How something so useful can be so chic and elegant? Carry this beautiful purse holder in your purse, or clip the heart around your purse handle for an stylish accessory. Untwist the heart into a simple but elegant S-shaped hook to hang your purse and keep it off the dirty floor. Voilà!

this is awesome. totally awesome.

Ladies: Want to get something fun(ny) for your honey? Then, The Hangover Baby Carrier tee-shirt is what you should get him for Christmas. Or his birthday. Or Valentine's Day. Or Halloween. Because he'll be the talk of the party (any party!) for wearing this top, and you'll be his hero for giving it to him. Double score!

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.

his and hers

Shiny puffer jackets are IN this winter. So, how about getting your sweetie a shiny puffer jacket, too? He'll look trendy, sophisticated and incredibly sexy in it. The Moncler Ever Jacket is one classic shiny puffer jacket he'll wear all winter long, on weekends and on the slopes, too. Need more convincing? Check out Jude Law sporting a shiny puffer vest. HOT!

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.

lululemon live simply jacket

The Lululemon Live Simply Jacket is one fffabulous jacket. It is comfy, cozy and warm, and so flattering with its long fitted look. I also have a big crush on the thumbholes: they keep my hands warm and the sleeves in place. All in all, it's the perfect jacket to lounge around or to wear after a workout. Exists in beautiful neutral colors, including black, dark classic sport grey, and classic sport grey, and in bright blue. This jacket runs a bit small so go up one size. It makes the perfect gift, too.

don't forget your honey!

One cool thing about Inhabit is that they make awesome sweaters for men, too.

It's an everyday staple with a slight twist to it; the contrast color trim seams at neck, shoulder, and down the sides are such a nice detail on such a classic sweater.

Cardiwraps are just the best invention ever. You can layer them with pretty much anything, and they'll keep you warm and cozy all year long. The Inhabit Cashmere Pointelle Drape Cardigan is the cardiwrap to get this season. I love it that it's cropped in the back, and draped in the front, and the pointelle stitching is such a cute detail.
