Is the Rodarte for Target Collaboration hot?

You be the judge- here’s a collection of images from the official lookbook and I don’t want to persude your feelings but it’s all so nightmare before Christmas meets Madonna from her Like a virgin days.

I’m in the middle with this one guys- on one hand I can see myself pairing many of the cardigans with other items from my wardrobe but then again I am trying to wear less black and this seems to be a goth princess dream. I love it cause you gotta have balls to create something so different yet remixing different eras and genre and still have the audacity to mass retail it – at target of all places!

Ratings: 3/5 stars. Fashion to the masses!

Dad Gift Idea: Binoculars for the sporty/outdoorsy dad

And were continuing with our Gift-a-Day countdown for Christmas. Which brings me to gift ideas for outdoor type dads.

I’m getting my dad a binocular and thought ‘why not write about that as a gift idea?’ So it might not be the cutest of things to do for your dad this Christmas but if your dad is like mine “cute” is not even in his vocabulary. so lets get real.

Lets just get past all those “best dad ever” type mugs, shirts, aprons etc – not another tie or another watch ( sorry Dad), and get him something useful that he’ll really like.

I know he likes binoculars and to be honest with you all he’s been hinting about it for years now but I have to admit it that I know now nothing about these sorts of things!

So thank heavens for Google and this Binocular know-it-all guy!

After all that research I’m getting my dad this Sharper Image 7×50 Binoculars- on the JCPenny website and its right in line with my budget. This might be a good gift for your dad too, he can use it at ball games or even when just spying on the neighbors…lol

Price – $15 and free shipping on orders over $25

Rocking the power shoulder jacket

I’m so excited it’s Monday!

Can you tell from the big smile? lol
I’m working on my Zen folks – think positive, work hard and have a sense of humor.

I feel like MC Hammer in my power shoulder jacket – Can’t Touch This…hehe
Actually I saw a recent photo of Stella McCartney wearing a gold statement jacket with jeans and I loved it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?!

Best Christmas gift ideas: Store Gift Cards

There is always that tricky question of what to get that picky person on your Christmas list?

Day 4+5 —- Gift-a-Day

Research has shown that people just like to get cash – whats second to that?

Gift Cards.

According to the National Retail Federation (NRF) “gift cards were the most requested item this Christmas, with 55 percent of people saying that’s what they’d like for the holidays.”

You work with your set budget and you can give them a gift card from one of their favorite stores which they can use in-store or online.

Yes it can seem like a easy cop out from buying them a physical gift – but if they are picky chances are they’ll hate it and want to return it anyways. simple put – gift cards are smart ways to save yourself money and really give the gift of giving.

Target – With Target gift cards there’s no fee and no expiration date, and you can even add a special note.

Other choices include:Bestbuy, Home Depot and UrbanOutfitters
