Kate Spade New York Park Avenue Hoop Earrings ($75) – Classic hoops get an update with pretty faux pearls and glittering faceted glass!

Kate Spade New York Park Avenue Ring ($95) – A lovely cocktail ring encrusted with faux pearls and rhinestones to offset that little black dress!

Pearls (whether genuine or faux) are definitely classic and timeless and these accessories by Kate Spade shows them off quite beautifully. There are also two necklaces and another bracelet in this collection but they’re just a little more than $200 – still beautiful though!

Bathing Beauties from Benefit Cosmetics

The Miu Miu Round Toe Lattice Pumps ($590) have the traditional platform pump shape but what makes it stand apart from the rest is the lovely shade of beige. It’s also available in black (Nero) if you prefer.  The lattice detailing makes these shoes quite sexy.

This is definitely the type of heels you should wear with just about any outfit. The neutral colour will go with everything from jeans to party dresses.  One way to dress these down is to wear them with a simple outfit of jeans, a white tee, grey cardigan.  The heel measures 5″ but the hidden platform is at least 1″ so in reality it’s a wearable 4″.

These are a definite must have for any fashionista this season! Treat her to shoes that will look amazing now and years from now.  These Miu Miu pumps are available for pre-order on the Bergdorf Goodman website.

These pretty Prada Floral Pumps ($750) are one of the newest shoes available from the Prada resort collection. These are fun shoes that won’t fade into the background of your outfit, they’ll be the stand out feature!  I really love the combination of the beige (Talco) and white (Quarzo) leather. The flower details are sweet and ultra feminine and the silver hardware compliments it just perfectly.  The peep toe is sexy, as is the 4.5″ heel.

These shoes would make a wonderful surprise for that ultra girly girl in your life. She’ll be able to wear these year-round but especially during the Spring and Summer months.  The Prada Floral Pumps are available for pre-order at the moment on the Neiman Marcus website.

Pretty Prada Pumps

For the holiday season, there will be a number of fun party dresses we’ll either adore and admire, covet and conspire to get and ones that make you want to run in the opposite direction.  I came across this amazing Marchesa dress on the Bergdorf Goodman website and it just made me smile.

Even the model looks like she’s having a lot of fun, no?  This beautiful Crinkle Beaded Waist Dress ($2950) is absolutely stunning and looks as if it would so much fun to wear!   I really love the dramatic bell sleeves, the crinkled texture of the silk organza and of course the pretty embellished waist.  The materials are simple enough but the execution is stunning.

Naturally, the ‘average/real woman’ probably won’t have any reason to buy and wear this dress. However, if you’re part of that percentage that has the means and an occasion to wear something this over the top, all I can say is – I’m jealous!  And if you’re thinking about buying this for someone special (aren’t you generous!?) you can get it through the Bergdorf Goodman website. While you’re at it, I’d like it too!

Shu Uemura Wish Upon A Star Collection

If I were shopping for one of my little nieces (roughly middle school age and younger), I’d pick up this trio of fragrances from Pixi Beauty.

Images: Pixi

Mimosa Eau de Parfum – This scent is described as a floral that’s silky, creamy, delicate and powdery.

Fig Eau de Parfum – A woodsy and fruity blend of ripened figs and and herbs.

Rose Eau de Parfum – A pretty light rose scent perfect for daytime.

Each of these pretty perfume bottles are 30ml and will run you $42. That’s quite reasonable for something as sweet smelling as these. What’s more, they’re readily available at your nearest Target store and online. They’re also available through the Pixi website.

I personally don’t know anyone who uses these scents which makes me want them more. Have you tried these? What did you think?

14k White Gold Diamond Accent Flower Stud Earrings ($200)

14k White Gold Diamond Flower Earrings ($600) 1/5 total carat weight

Don’t you love the pretty designs? They’re flowers but I think these are like little snowflakes on your ear lobe, so dainty and sweet!  Stud earrings like these are perfect to wear for every day as they won’t clash with any of your outfits. Diamonds, as you may already know, go with everything.

The price points are nice too, not too crazy expensive but not so cheap that it makes you wonder if you’re getting good quality diamonds.  If you get these, prepare to receive lots compliments! They’re available on the Macys website and they might have them in stores too.

Diamond Flower Stud Earrings for Her

Jeweled Stream Necklace ($158) A pretty cluster of flowers in a beautiful color combination.

Scattered Seeds Necklace ($42) So pretty, perfect to wear now and in the Spring!

Enormity Necklace ($218) A pretty deep green emeralds and topaz stones, stunning!

Twined Rockrose Necklace ($48) Love the contrast of black, white and red!

My personal favourites have to be the first and second necklaces. I love the combination of lavender with the blue on the Jeweled Stream necklace. And then the combination of pale yellow and yellow-green on the Scattered Seeds necklace is just brilliant.

How fabulous would these be this season with casual and dressy outfits? These would make great gifts for that someone special one. Pick up one or all of them for yourself or someone on your holiday gift list, at Anthropologie.
