Wish List

1. Nail polish is always a great idea! Especially if you don't really know the person you're shopping for too well. You can simply look at their nails every once in a while, and run to a drug store to snatch either a bright colour if you think they will like it, or play it safe with a neutral colour.
2. Scarves! Everyone loves a warm and cute scarf. This season infinity scarves are especially hot, and you can grab them at several places for a reasonable price. Just make sure that you don't manage to find the ugliest one in the vicinity.
3. A subscription to a magazine! Whether it's National Geographic or LOULOU, the person will surely enjoy the gift.
4. Try something personal! Sometimes they can be the best presents. If you have a really close friend, try finding a great picture of the both of you, decorate the frame all pretty-like, and give them a thoughtful present!
5. Gift cards, gift cards, gift cards! They can be a really great present. Buying things for people can often be a waste of money if your gift-receiver doesn't really like the present you gave them or if it doesn't even fit them. Sometimes, though, they can suck a bit - you can sometimes look a bit cheap. But add an awesome card with it, and you're clear!
6. Pamper them! Whether it's a self manicure kit, or a redeemable gift card for a free pedicure, they will be sure to love it. (A great gift is the Airplus Spa Value Pack - I've already got it for a few on my list!) Even some hair treatment ideas would be a unique and much-appreciated idea.
7. If your wallets are swollen, then a great idea is a guitar! I know that everyone would be ecstatic if they tore up their wrapping paper to reveal a guitar. Some places sell guitars for pretty cheap, too! Just look around, and try to find the guitar that is optimal for your receiver!
8. Chocolates are always a cheery gift. You can buy the assortment boxes, and the lucky person who gets it will have no trouble eating them up.

Good luck, and try not to break the bank this year!

Indulging - Smartly

I just ordered these simply MAGNIFICENT wedges, and am so excited! I pride myself on being a bargain finder, and boy did I find one that tickled my fancy today! They're from Aldo (my favourite shoe store), and are called Forwood. I got the purple ones, because I got a steal of a deal and, hey, I love purple! Normally they are $90 which isn't too bad, but I'm not really willing to put that much down on a pair of shoes. I ordered them online today for $27.99 and free shipping! I am SO excited - it looks like an early Christmas for me this year! 

Footsy

Tights now are a necessity if you are to wear any sort of dress or skirt - it's too cold to go without! The cold weather, as we all know, is tough on our skin. Our faces need moisturizer more and more often, our lips need that chap-stick and our hand thirst for that cream. Sometimes your skin can get so coarse and dry that your heels can rip and tear your tights! I know that most of you may be thinking that it's a little bit of an exaggeration - but I kid you not. Your feet take so much wear and tear from walking and running on them day after day - they deserve some special treatment. Show winter who's boss with the Airplus Spa package! I got it only a week or two ago, and I've already used it countless times. It includes hydrating foot cream, a pumice stone, an exfoliating sugar foot scrub and aloe infused socks. After using it, your feet will feel as soft as baby's bottom and you won't be able to wait before using it again. As well, while you're cuddling with your loved one by the blazing fire, who wants sandpaper ripping up their partners legs? I sure as heck don't. Give it a try ladies (and gents), you won't regret it!  

Chilly

Well, as you can tell, the temperature is quickly dropping, which sucks. You feel like curling up on your couch near a blazing fire, and hot chocolate in your hands warming you up. Halloween is going to be a chilly one this year! Ladies (and gentlemen, is this applies to you), if your costume is a little skimpy and you want to go out on Halloween night to get some candy or go to a party - wear a jacket! I know that this completely ruins your costumes - so maybe a jacket isn't right for you. Try a hat, scarves, gloves, fuzzy socks, a long sleeve, pants, or just covering up a little bit. For parties - you can for sure wear a jacket! Just take it of when you get inside, and when you're outside you'll be warm and cozy while all your other girl friends get hypothermia. Have fun!

Warming Up

Warm yourself this fall with some slick new legwarmers - they're a great fashion piece, are ultra-warm and comfy. Legwarmers, though, can be a hard to pull off. Firstly, you're going to need a pair that are actually, well, nice. My personal favourite are grey and black ones from secret. They are super-versatile, which is great. You can wear them with tights, leggings, jeans, bare legs or even trackpants. They also look super duper cute with booties, and coming out of military boots. These are great little accessories to have in the fall, and will definitely turn some eyes.

Animal Skins

As you all have probably noticed, animal prints are coming back with a rather large bang. It's sometimes hard, though, to find some decent looking prints on a piece of clothing that you will actually wear. So here is an ingenius idea - animal printed tights!! Just wear your favourite dress or skirt, and pair them with some of these tights and BAM, you are automatically a fashionista of her own accord. Secret actually has the cutest animal printed tights - zebra and leopard.prints that can go with virtually anything. BUT make sure that when you wear patterned tights that you go with a rather simple top, you don't want to cause some sore eyes, but don't be afraid to experiment! These not-so-subtle and sexy tights are going to be huge, be the first to be seen sporting a pair!  

Fashion Insoles

As my readers have come to learn about me, I'm all about comfortable fashion. Sof Comfort has come out with these slick new insoles that are super-foamy and really comfortable that are thin enough to fit in any of my shoes - even my high-heel strappy sandals! They don't slip out, either - the have a sticky back so that you can rest assured that your comfort will last all day - and all night - long. They come in packs of three - for your favourite shoes. these insoles are great, too, because they aren't gel, so if you sweat you won't go slipping and sliding in your kicks. Try them out - I'm sure you'll love 'em!
