Shemergency
Jen and I found the best fashion emergency kit around...called SHEMERGENCY it comes with everything from safety pins to dental floss! Really a great holiday gift. On a FASHIONABLE LIFE RADIO, we found it on www.wishingfish.com.

 

Essential Oil Reading
Don't' forget to get your essential oil reading from our guest last week, Jennifer Urezzio at www.bloominggrove.net. Essential oils can only enhance your already "fashionable" life!


LeSportsac limited edition by STELLA McCartney
Ranging in price from $98.00-$475.00, these "eco-friendly" bags have all the style synonymous with the designers name and the functionality Lesportsac provides. Styles range from larger bags to smaller ones with abstract floral prints and even some patterns inspired by Stella's 21/2 year old son, Miller. Great gift giving!

REFINERY29 SHOPS
This "virtual marketplace" will give you the opportunity to shop from the hippest boutiques scattered around the globe. By dragging your mouse over each of these 'virtual boutiques" you can check out their offerings. From clothing to accessories to the best beauty product offerings, you will be hooked! You can't always get to the West Village or Brooklyn (New York's chicest shopping meccas), but you don't have to now that every boutique you would want to hit is a click away.

DNA Art
Log onto this site to get your own perfume and art work based on your DNA. I have seen this art work personally and it is great and a FABULOUS holiday gift!  Just swipe your mouth with a q-tip from the sample kit and mail back into a secure and certified laboratory.  Don't worry.... your DNA will not be used for the development of a some sort of weird fashionable super race.........but this gift is VERY UNIQUE! I am waiting for my own perfume now!

Retail Rave!
LVMH and Burberry have both announced increased earnings despite what expert had predicted. For both the Asian market contributes to the increases as well as North America, but increasing costs to offset the weak yen, seems to have helped.

 

 

Luxury Market Booming
Famed restaurateur, Giuseppe Cipriani, is joining the financial district resurgence with a new store. The high boutique who will join neighbors, Tiffany & CO and Hermes, will sell VERY HIGH END travel items and ONE OF A KIND pieces. Too rich for our blood on A Fashionable Life but it might be just right for you!!!!
