leighelena leather cuff

I love leighelena leather cuffs. They are edgy, unique, and the trendiest accessory this season. Made of leather and enamel, these handmade cuffs will dress up any outfit. Pick one that match your style and complexion, clip it, and be ready to get tons of compliments. Get one at romi boutique if you're local, or at Fred Segal on your next trip to LA.

oui oui!

What do OPI Nail Polish You Don't Know Jacques! and Chanel Particulière have in common?? They share the same exact grey-beige-taupe color, have a bit of French in their name, and are simply fffabulous!! So if you can't find Chanel Particulière anywhere, or are on a budget, You Don't Know Jacques! is just what you need this summer!

steal this fffabulous look!

Nancy looked as fffabulous as always for ladies' night last night, and her gold jewelry caught my attention immediately. It looked so good with her golden tan, and it was bold without being too much. So I had to ask her where she got *everything*! And she told me *everything*!! Are you ready to know *everything*?? Here we go! Nancy got her necklace at Anthropologie (but of course), and I'm in love with it. It is so precious!! It looks rich with its multitude of coin pendants, but still delicate and sophisticated. And under $50. I couldn't find it online but if we all refresh this page a million times, it may appear, hehe! Or go to the store near you to snatch it. She paired this fffabulous necklace with the Tory Burch Danielle Cuff, and all I have to say is: that's one fffabulous pairing! I like, like, and like. Oh, and that silk top is from DVF. When I told you I asked about pretty much *everything*...

moroccanoil original oil treatment

If you've never tried the MoroccanOil The Original Oil Treatment, you've got to get it RIGHT NOW!! If you've tried it before, you know what I'm talking about. First of all, its scent is addictive; it's yummy, sensual, and...addictive. This oil works wonders too, on both wet or dry hair and all types of hair. Its unique formula is ultra light and non-greasy (despite its name), and will make your hair soft, shiny and very easy to style. Blow drying your hair has never been so quick and easy!

The MoroccanOil oil treatment was one of my birthday presents this year (along with the stila bronzer), and I now can't live without it. I'm hooked!

boho by moe munroe fingerless gloves

The Boho by Moe Munroe Fingerless Gloves are the ultimate accessory this season. These gloves are made of cashmere, and come in the cutest designs. My fffavorites are the Moe fffingerless gloves (pictured here), and the Leo Classic fingerless gloves (very cute with a classic black sweater). All in all, these fingerless gloves will keep you warm this winter and add a nice touch to any outfit. And you'll still be able to type on your iPhone too. Yay!

Get these fffabulous Boho by Moe Munroe ffffingerless gloves at Morning Glory boutique (Moe's very own boutique) or romi boutique. And get a few extra pairs while you're there. They make the perfect gift too!

the cherry on the cake

Now that your skin is all radiant thanks to the Clarisonic Skin Care Brush and the SKII Facial Treatment Essence, a touch of bronzer seems like the next logical step for a gorgeous glow.

One of my friends gave me the stila cosmetics illuminating finishing powder, bronze for my birthday, and I love it. Who thought I'd wear bronzer in the middle of winter and manage not to look like I have a bad case of spray tanning? This bronzer is perfect for all skin types and all complexions all year long, and adds warmth to any look. I apply this bronzer with the Mac Cosmetics 187 Duo Fiber Brush, and Voilà! A must-have in your make-up bag, and the perfect gift idea too! 

so particulière

I was gonna get Chanel Vendetta for one of my girlfriends' birthday (yes, it's THE perfect gift idea!), when the Chanel Spring 2010 nail polish collection caught my eye. I had to try Chanel Particulière, and as soon as I did, I had to get it for my friend, and for me.

Chanel Particulière is a taupe shade, with grey and purple undertones; it is actually very close to the Inhabit lavender color, a color I absolutely adore! It is elegant and sophisticated, and will go with just about anything. A must-wear!

   

v for vendetta

Chanel never fails to impress when it comes to nail polish colors. This year is no exception. One of my girlfriends gave me the Chanel Vendetta nail polish for Christmas, and you should have seen my face when I opened my tiny gift. I was ecstatic!!

Chanel Vendetta is the must-have color this season, and my 'dark shade of the moment.' It is a deep purple shade, that is warmer than the Chanel Blue Satin shade, but that is just as equally fffabulous and trendy.

Directions: Wear it on toenails and fingernails all year long, without moderation.

fffabulous fffile fffolders

A couple of weeks ago, one of my colleagues gave me a present...from Anthropologie. WOW! She was shopping there, and these Monogram File Folders caught her eye. She thought it would be a terrific idea to get me 3 sets of 'F' fffolders, just because that's how I roll. Go FFF!

These fffabulous fffile fffolders are just the cutest, and they come handy when you have to file tons of personal and work documents. Love it!

Go to the Anthropologie store near you, and get a fffew of these fffolders for colleagues, fffriends and fffamily. They'll make the perfffect stocking stuffers this holiday season!

it's breast cancer awareness month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we plan to feature cool products that benefit Breast Cancer Research throughout the month. With the days getting colder, we thought that featuring the Baby Jak "Softest Blanket Ever" was 'cool' since it's one of our fffavorite baby accessories and the perfect gift idea this holiday season.

Throughout the month of October, Baby Jak is offering 25% off all Think Pink and Pink Rose blankets when you enter coupon code pink at checkout, and they'll donate 15% of the proceeds to Breast Cancer Research. Can it get any better than that?

Pick your fffavorite blanket sizes from the snuggle blankets, classic baby blankets, nap and lap blankets, and throw blanket, and you're guaranteed to be warm this season or make someone very warm and happy!

devon dowd jewelry designs

I am not much of a earrings type of person; I got my ears pierced at 18 only to wear my great grandma's pearls. Now, I only own a few pairs and never quite think of wearing earrings on a daily basis. This was the case until I ran into Devon Dowd Jewelry Designs. I fell for her Deb / gold filled and Swarovski crystals earrings (pictured here) from her Summer Earrings 2009 collection. These hoops earrings are classy, quite unique, and super light so you won't even notice you are wearing them. I wore mine all summer and always received compliments (accompanying the usual: you're wearing earrings?!). Another one of my favorites is the Deborah / gold filled and crystal (with one big crystal this time). Irresistible! And the best part of it all? Each piece is inspired and named after one of Devon's girlfriends. Cute!!

And did I mention they make for the perfect gift idea this holiday season? (Yes, it's coming!)

house of harlow black leather ring

I was checking the House of Harlow look book on popsugar the other day and I couldn't help but love the clothes Nicole Richie wears on it. Aren't they fffabulous? I love the hippie-chic, colorful style. I can see myself wearing these dresses all summer long—in the South of France, with gladiator flats and all. But I digress...I finally checked out the House of Harlow jewelry collection and I was seduced: each model is original, each piece looks unique, and everything is so affordable. Next thing I know, my girlfriend Lynn pings me to let me know she ordered the House of Harlow Black Leather Ring. Lynn always wears big, beautiful and bold rings, and I always love them. I don't think it will be any different when she wears her black leather ring: it is so different from any rings I've seen around, and I love the fact that it combines leather and Swarovski crystals. It's the perfect ring to accessorize a casual outfit or a little black dress. And for $70? Hello!? We should all wear one and compliment each others, ha!

tokyomilk bon bon lip balm

My friend Heidi gave me a fffew fffabulous gifts for my birthday, and one of them was the Tokyomilk Bon Bon Lip Balm in Rose Water in Rose Water. I thought it was a terrific gift idea because I always love to try new beauty products, and a woman can never have too many lip balms at hand, right? Well, this lip balm has now become my very fffavorite lip balm of all time, and it is one little beauty product I recommend to all my fffriends, including my fffabulous readers!

First and foremost, I love the name of this lip balm; it's so unique and so cute! I also love that it comes in a sparkly collectible box—so much that it is still sitting on my coffee table, with no other purpose than to look nice. But the best part of it all is the lip balm itself (but of course!). Made of seed oil, beeswax, vitamin E, aloe vera, shea butter, and bertoni sweet leaf extract, this lip balm is the most efficient, yet most luxurious lip balm I have ever tried. It makes my lips extra soft and super kissable. Ooh la la! And the rose water scent is just so delightful and addictive that I always smell it before, during and after applying it on my lips. Are you ready for the sweetest kiss yet?
