Fat Man's Coming!

 I've been listening to so much Christmas music I start singing that when I see Sam.

The Original Wish Charm

The 14k Gold Mine Charms are a really sweet gift for friends, your mama, or your lady.

I like the idea of buying matching ones and doing the whole best friend thing.

MINE made the Original wish charm and it's meaning is open to interpretation.  It is meant to be wrapped around the wrist 3 times and while wrapping you are to make a wish that will come true once the silk frays away and the charm falls off.  I however would not want to lose this guy so I would be very aware of when it was fraying, so I guess my wish would never come true.

They also come packaged with a great card explaining the charm.

$30

Great Gift Idea #7: Feather Earrings

I love the blue and maroon feathers coupled with the dots and strips of the rooster.

$50

Great Gift Idea #6: Leather Bracelets by Ponomo

 I really love these things because they have the ability to be really kinda punk at their root and then the rhinestones make them super new age.  I have classified the rhinestone leather bangles in my New Romantics Collection.

I love the glamor/tough girl union.

And if you're not into the rhinestones, simple leather wraps will do just fine.

A Charlie Brown & Bad Brains Christmas.

Great Gift Idea #5

Take this opportunity to make wishes all year round ! Always, the favorite part of my Grandma's turkey soup was drying out the wish bone so we could split it and make a wish each.

Make her wishes come true this year with this stunning wishbone necklace hand cast by Elizabeth Knight.

Naked and Famous is the Best

It really is, y'all. The Canadian brand sources all of their fabrics from one of the most high quality selvedge factories in Japan and makes all of their clothing stateside. If you can call Canada stateside, that is. Just for you newbies, "selvedge" and "salvage" are two completely different things. Selvedge actually refers to the weave of denim, which ultimately makes for a more sturdy and long-lasting jean whereas salvage is something you could have just found in a ditch by the road. So there's your random piece of trivia for the day. We have the selvedge duck canvas pants in and a blue oxford that is guaranteed to make your man a spitting image of Paul Newman. Duck canvas was used to make jeans in the olden times, and many people argue that it's much more durable than denim. Okay, I'm going to stop before I start handing out multiple choice exams. But in all seriousness, these clothes are totally worth the hype.

It's A Marshmallow World

Guys. It's here. It's the Holiday Season. This means eggnog. Home-made ornaments. Christmas cookies! Hand cut paper snowflakes! I can't even begin to express my love for Christmas and Christmas decorations. Since I did Bed-Stuy do or die Thanksgiving this year (in short we defrosted a turkey in a trash can at the bottom of a bathtub) I know that anything is possible, and dreams do come true. So starting right meow I will be wrapped in tinsel, alternating between screenings of Scrooged and The Santa Clause if you need me. "I'm seeing someone in wrapping." Oh, it gets me every time. You know what else? This speech is the one I'm going to quote to my children on Christmas Eve.

I suggest you do the same. And to get us all in the holiday spirit, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra are here to sing about marshmallows.
