Robert Verdi’s Holiday Picks

[Trying on R. J. Graziano bracelets, mixed with my own bangles at the event!]

This year I got into the holiday spirit with Robert Verdi and his 45-foot Club Monaco scarf at an event entitled “Tweet This!” Robert went through unique categories and their respective gift options. What Robert suggests:

For the chic twitter freak:

Palm Pixi

For the super stylish Christmas shopper:

Carlos Falchi Signature Shopping Tote

For the hostess with the mostess:

Tasty Morsels Bakery (custom cookies)

For the boss at bonus time:

Sherpa (for Sharpie Pens)

For the hot holiday couple:

(for him) Ralph Lauren Polo Red, White, & Blue Cologne

(for her) Harajuku Lovers Snow Bunnies Gift set fragrance

For the chic commuter:

Portolano Cashmere Set

For the Christmas vixen:

Victoria’s Secret Miraculous Bra & lacie collection panty

For the frenzied friend:

Brown Sugar Gift Set from Fresh

The Perfect Pairs for the Perfect Couple:

UGG Australia Bailey Button Boos for her & Vintage Shoe Company Moc-Toe Boots for him

For: The stylish statement maker:

5 Row Mesh/Bangle Bracelets from R.J. Graziano

For: The Need-it-now guys and got-it-all gals:

Roku Player & Gift Certificate for Netflix

For looking ahead:

Susan Miller 2010 Collection

Out of all of the items I received at the event, the Roku got immediately confiscated by my boyfriend and set-up, and I have to admit it is pretty great! You can stream your Netflix “watch instantly” movies via the Roku, as well as ‘rent’ movies via Amazon.com Video, play music through Pandora.com, and other features that I have yet to explore.

Happy Holidays!

Rodarte for Target is Here!

by fashionpulse

It’s time to get clicking, as items from the Rodarte for Target collection have already begun to sell out, included the coveted sequined Ribcage dress! I’m hoping to get some pieces in Pittsburgh once I arrive there for the holidays, and will let you know how I fare at a local Target versus shopping online.

My favorites from the collection:

Also of note, check out this absolutely charming video by Tavi Gevinson, the 13-year-old blogging phenom of StyleRookie (more on her coming soon!)

Topshop Pick of the Week: Charcoal Lace Trim Gloves, $36

by fashionpulse

As everyone in New York has realized by now, winter is here, which can be a bit of a downer for all of us struggling to stay fashionable without sacrificing warmth and comfort.

Luckily, Topshop is keeping us covered with their ever-expanding line of winter accessories. With new hats, scarves, and gloves being stocked every week, the hardest part about keeping warm and staying stylish this season will be fighting the crowds in-store!

My favorite this week? Charcoal Lace Trim Gloves (they also come in black), which retail for $36. The knitted gloves feature lace and beading detail and are made from 70% Lambswool, 20% Angora, and 10% Nylon – sure to keep your hands pretty and toasty!

If you’re in or around New York, check out their US flagship on the corner of Broadway & Broome. If not, you can order online (half-price shipping until Christmas!) by going to their website > winter accessories > gloves.
