Sterling Silver & Oh So Beautiful…

I’m on a “mom” kick this week, so I wanted to post another mother’s necklace.  This one is called “Circle of Love” and is a beautiful hand stamped sterling silver necklace with heart charm, Swarovski crystal, larger sterling silver circle and smaller inner circle. You get it personalized with the names of your children or the sayings of your choice.  It’s only $42 at SilverLime.  I LOVE IT!!!

Modern Yet Traditional Necklace for Mom

So your mom had a mother’s ring… maybe your grandmother did too.  What’s a modern mom to do? Personally, I am far from traditional… so a mother’s birthstone ring isn’t my style.  GUESS WHAT I FOUND!! The perfect alternative.  This beautiful necklace is stylish, sentimental and savvy for any mom.  You can add up to five birth stones, one for each of your children and it comes in gold and silver.  Heck, you don’t even have to be a mom to have this necklace… add in you and your husband’s birthstones and make it a union necklace.  Anyway, it’s a great piece of jewelry and I’d LOVE to own one.  Prices start at $129.

Customize Your Sidekick 3 with Skins

Did you get a T-Mobile Sidekick 3 for Christmas? I wanted one, but it will have to wait until after the new year. But that hasn’t stopped me from looking at cool accessories and add-ons for the Sidekick3.

The shiny, glittery, Swarovski crystal style gel skins are on my list of must-have items.  I’ve compiled a quickie composite of my favorite skins I’ve found so far.  Out of the six above, I’d say my ultimate favorite is a toss up between the tropical monkeys and the pink Burberry style plaid.

You can find them at lots of places online. I happened to find these at a place called mygelskin.com They also have skins for the RAZR, SLVR, Ipod, PSP and more.

Functional & Feminine Laptop Bag

Okay, I just fell in love. I want this laptop bag!  The Knomo™ Teeli is a superlight and slim bag that is handcrafted from full hide leather with quilted nylon twill.

It looks fantastic this pretty white and pink color, but it’s also available in black. Fits most 15” laptops including MacBook Pro 15.4”

The most interesting part. The Knomo™ tracker system to help find your Knomo if lost. Wonder if that only works in the UK? Not sure but sounds cool.

approx. $166 Knomo

Juicy Hearts Layered Necklace by Juicy Couture

What a fantastic necklace to wear this holiday season. Jazz up that little black dress or dress up a casual jeans and tee combo.

This stylish necklace features a total of 8 hearts, in pearl, gold-tone, silver-tone, rhinestone pave and more!
The 5 chains are different lengths, making for a perfect layer of necklaces.

Perfect for every Juicy Couture loving girl.

$95 Juicy Couture

Tamara Henriques Pink Argyle Rubber Boots

It’s been raining here for days… it’s not just rain, it’s cold rain. Dark skies, cold winds, wetness everywhere - I hate it.  Just taking my dog out is such a chore.  I decided to glam up my cold, dreary day by buying an adorable pair of pink (of course!) and red argyle rubber rain boots by Tamara Henriques.

$118.00 $89.95 Amazon

****UPDATE 11/30/06 Oh No! These are sold out on Amazon. Everything I write about is selling out so if you see something you want you need to get it ASAP. Everything is flying off the shelves. There are other Tamara Henriques rubber rainboots available, but this particular style is currently unavailable as of today.

Proenza Schouler for Target

Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler are coming to Target.

They’ll design a capsule for Target’s GO International campaign, which currently features Behnaz Sarafpour and previously wowed bargain shoppers with British designer Luella Bartley’s fantastic collection.

Word has it that the line won’t be available until February 2007, but every fashionista I know is drooling over the recently scooped photos. (Above) Personally, their line isn’t for me, but that’s okay. I might find a piece or two that I like, it just depends.  The trapeze jacket is my favorite piece so far.

Don’t know about Proenza Schouler? Keep reading…

Famed for their fabulous cut and construction, loved for their fashion savvy-style, young Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler (a combination of their mother’s maiden names, the second of which is pronounced “Skooler") are the epitome of New York cool. The talented duo met in 1998 and almost immediately took the fashion world by storm. By 2002, their expertly tailored collections were being honored at the 40th annual Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards as the “Future of Fashion.” With their intricate construction and cutting-edge design, these pieces are certain to be classics for years to come.

Rafe New York by Rafe Totengco for Target

Rafe Totengco has made every budget fashionista’s dream come true. He has designed a stylish, yet affordable line for Target.  The Rafe for Target line is priced to sell between $19.99-$49.99
whereas his regular line retails between $200-$600. Big difference!

The Rafe (pronounced “RAH-fee") handbag line at Target is available for a limited time and is selling out fast! Get one while you can. 

Rafe has a blog, here’s an excerpt from his post on his new line for Target:

Can I tell you… about Rafe For Target? Seems my limited edition collaboration with the mass retailer has made a lot of news, and I just wanted to chime in about it.

Doing this limited, capsule collection wasn’t a quick decision on my part, but I have to say that the current climate of high end designers doing similar lines for mass retailers definitely helped me decide to do it. Karl Lagerfeld for H&M comes to mind first, but so many highly respected names have done it as well: Victor & Rolf and Stella McCartney have done it for H&M too, and Uniqlo is coming up with a few formidable designers for its upcoming season. Even in the Target stable, we have Paul & Joe, Behnaz Sarafpour, Luella Bartley, Tara Jarmon, Isaac Mizrahi, Thomas O’brien, and Tord Boontje, a prestigious group I am proud to be part of. - Rafe Totengco (Can I tell You...)

Not all reviews of the bags are glowing… The Budget Fashionista says the bags are not the best quality and $40 bucks is a bit much to spend for a pleather handbag of questionable quality. and The Fashionist says they look cheap and dated.

We’ll let you be the judge. Find Rafe at a Target near you or check them out online
