I really like what Kate Spade designs, from handbags to shoes, iPhone cases to jewelry, and now to fragrance! Twirl by Kate Spade is a fabulous floral scent that includes notes of pink watermelon, blackberry and red currant, a heart of fresh flowers including orange blossom, star jasmine, tiare flower and sweet magnolia, completedwith musks and a touch of french macaron (yummy!). Sounds wonderfully, delicious, right? Prices start at $65 for the 1.7 oz eau de parfum bottle, and you can also get shower gel, body lotion, body cream, and/or a rollerball. Why not treat yourself to something that will last throughout the year?
twirl by Kate Spade is available at Nordstrom and Nordstrom.com.
There’s always a good reason to toast to Elizabeth Taylor’s iconic style, even if you were sadly left in the dust during Christie’s widely-successful online auction of the star’s personal baubles. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to pay tribute to Liz’s timeless elegance – namely, with champagne-hued trinkets and pieces just in time to ring in the new year! First, start with a budget-friendly version of Taylor’s gorgeous teardrop earrings – these Swarovski crystal drop earrings by Kenneth Jay Lane, available at Thomas Laine, channel her energy without having to out-bid the competitors! After all, if you’re going to be working the room at the end-of-year cocktail parties with a glass of glimmering bubbly in your hand, you’ve got to wear something even sparklier to make sure the attention is all on you! Ditch the sequins and go for feminine ruffles, courtesy of these budget-friendly Audrey Brooke pumps, while this shimmery champagne clutch from Michael Kors gets some gorgeous texture with a lizard-effect pattern. And don’t forget a show-stopping mini dress that’ll show off all your Elizabeth-esque curves, like this champagne-and-gold bandage dress by Hervé Léger!
