Gemma Redux Bracelet

The second piece of jewelry that I own that I bought before it was featured on Gossip Girl. Love this bracelet! http://www.gemmaredux.com/

Personalized Longchamps Bag

Again with the initials. Customized Longchamps bags. Pick your size, handles, colors, monogram and thread color. So freakin fun. http://www.longchamp.com/en/home-e-shopping/home-sur-mesure-usa-560.html

Biosilk Shampoo

I was overwhelmed in the drugstore, trying to find a new shampoo. So, the only way to make a decision was to smell the different shampoos and pick the best selling one. And this was the winner. I actually like the way it works too, which was a plus. http://www.biosilk-products.com/

Korres Suntan Lotion

Maybe the yummy smelling suntan lotion (watermelon, sweet orange) will motivate more frequent applications. http://www.korresusa.com/list/sun/category/face-and-body

Boulevard San Francisco

In case there aren't enough restaurants in San Francisco (seriously, why cant just a handful of them be in LA?), we loved Boulevard. And can't wait to go back. http://www.boulevardrestaurant.com/

Tiffany Key Necklaces

Believe it or not, I actually bought my Tiffany key necklace before Blair wore hers on GG. But, if I hadn't bought mine before then, that would have been enough to convince me. http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Category.aspx?cid=573050&mcat=148204

Dolce & Gabbana Mascara

I am usually a die-hard drug store mascara person. But, for the first time in years, I was convinced that a mascara was worth department store prices. The mascara from Dolce & Gabbana is the best I have used in a really, really long time. http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446226250&afsrc=1&site_refer=GGLBASE001&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=0737052201634

Sons of Anarchy

This FX show quickly took its place as my must-watch show. About a motorcycle club in California, I didn't expect to become obsessed with all aspects of the show. Not to mention the added bonus of the main character, Jax, who we love. http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/soa/

Jennifer Zeuner Initial Necklace

I would stamp my monogram on my forehead if I could, but this initial necklace will have to be good enough for now. I love the size of it, and only wish I had more than one set of initials. http://www.jenniferzeuner.com/cart/necklace/details/z10.html

AllStar Organics Flavored Sugar

Found at a Farmers' Market in San Francisco, these artisan sugars come in three flavors: rose petal, lavender and spearmint. I'm thinking they will make great holiday presents. There are also flavored salts. http://www.allstarorganics.com/plans.htm

David Yurman Bracelets

A giant thank you to M. and M. not only for my beautiful birthday present (yayayayay!), but also for renewing my obsession with David Yurman bracelets. http://www.davidyurman.com/

Phillipe Los Angeles

Phillipe Chow's new restaurant in LA. Yum. Yum. And good drinks. Try the Crispy Duck Salad. And the Pork Soup Dumplings. http://wwww.phillipechow.com

Its Only Natural Gifts Custom Gift Bags

I love this website -- you get to pick a canvas bag and then fill it with treats. They have a great selection of organic and artisan snacks. I'm told that those that have received a care package enjoyed it. http://www.itsonlynaturalgifts.com/

Hector Salgado Jewelry

When it rained in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, and the Moms went exploring, they came back with a business card and an address for this small, gallery-like jewelry store. Needless to say, we ended up with bracelets, necklaces and rings with giant flowers and butterflies. His jewelry is all stunning, and definite statement pieces. http://hectorsalgado.net/index.php?idioma=en

Outlander Novels

Slightly more grown-up than Twighlight, which helps my reader's-guilt, the Outlander series (another thank you to M.) follows the 200 year love story of Claire and Jaime. And we love Jaime! http://www.amazon.com/Outlander-Diana-Gabaldon/dp/0440212561

YogaCo Santa Monica

My new favorite yoga studio in the LA area. Two beautiful studios, entirely donation based, and a class to fit every schedule. http://www.yogaco.com

Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss

I don't know what I did before I found these lipglosses. They have the color and staying power of lipstick, but it takes all of three seconds to put it on. And it comes in so many different colors. http://www.illamasqua.com/store/category/lips/intense_lipgloss/

DKNY Cozy

Once I overcame the initial challenge of how-the-heck-do-you-tie-this-thing, this became my favorite sweater. Silk/cashmere sweater in lots of bright colors, that can be tied so many ways. Make sure to watch the video on the website to learn all the different ways to wear it. It will be my go to sweater for airplanes this winter. www.dkny.com

J Brand 901 Legging Jeans

On the advice of my friend M. (thanks M.!), I ordered a pair of these legging jeans -- they are cut like jeans, have back pockets like jeans, but are supersoft cotton, and are as comfortable as leggings. One pair probably isnt enough, but luckily they come in four colors. Perfect for tucking into tall boots, and stretchy enough to wear for Thanksgiving dinner! http://www.jbrandjeans.com/leggings/pl/c/122.html

Emilio Pucci Bracelet

I can not get over this bracelet. So different from anything else I have, and will be great all summer long. http://www.emiliopucci.com/emiliopucci/search/Bracelet/WOMEN/tskay/8D8F600C/c/art_2750/gender/D/toll/P/tp/15908&?gclid=CLe7sJTK1ZoCFRFWagodtDiz3A

Dylan George Jeans

So silly to spend so much money on jeans that are ripped. But they are so cute, and fit so well! http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProduct.jsp?product=DYLA-WJ19&c=Dylan+George&sc=Jeans

Little Flower Candy Company Caramels

The vanilla caramels are the best I've ever had. And they're not super sticky. http://www.littleflowercandyco.com/

GoldSign Siren Cropped Skinny Jeans

Another big thanks to M. for finding these -- they are the perfect cropped jeans. Stretchy, tight enough, and light weight. http://www.shopbop.com/siren-cropped-skinny-jeans-goldsign/vp/v=1/845524441843187.htm?folderID=2534374302025529&fm=browse-brand-shopbysize

Beyond Yoga Clothing

The rest of my yoga clothes have been sitting at the bottom of my drawer and I have been wearing Beyond Yoga clothes instead. For yoga, and for about everything else. The Bermuda shorts are my favorite this weekend. https://iambeyond.com/iambeyond.php

France Luxe Headbands

This has been my go-to source for all types of headbands: cotton headbands to sleep in, wide headbands for dirty hair days, an just fun headbands. http://www.franceluxe.com/

Love Quotes Scarves Part II

Just when I thought I had all of the Love Quotes scarves I needed (ok, wanted), they had to do the one thing that would make me NEED more. Add sparkles. So now there are about five more colors with sparkly material running through it. http://www.intermixonline.com/product/accessories/handbags/stud+fringe+handbag-+turquoise.do?sortby=ourPicks

Sonia Rykiel Stud Fringe Handbag

I can't think of a better way to start the summer. Especially when Intermix is having a forty percent off sale. http://www.intermixonline.com/product/accessories/handbags/stud+fringe+handbag-+turquoise.do?sortby=ourPicks

Melissa Campana Shoes

Jellies are back! Really back, and wearable. Some of them are probably not so much for me, but how to decide between the Zig Zag and Corallo (pictued above). And what color to get? Luckily, they aren't very expensive, so my choices aren't limited. These would be great for summer travelling, when you need something that won't make your feet sweat, that are easy to clean, but are still comfie. If only I knew someone that was spending the next two months travelling to some dirty places and could really use these shoes... ( http://www.aroundtheworldinalmost80days.blogspot.com/ ) A GIANT thank you to M. for not only finding these, but also for calling me as soon as she did. http://www.epauletshop.com/servlet/the-115/%3ECampana-Corallo-Smoke/Detail

My Horizontal Life By Chelsea Handler

Chelsea Handler + Collection of short stories about one night stands = Best Book Ever http://www.amazon.com/My-Horizontal-Life-Collection-One-Night/dp/1582346186/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241506466&sr=1-1

Vita Lock Cuff

This instantly makes any outfit a little more fun. And, it doesn't clank around on the keyboard all day. I like orange. http://www.shopharmo nylan e.com/store/product/7618/Vita-Chiave-Lock-Cuff---BROWN/

Personalized Hometown Necklace

You may need to have as much Jersey pride as I do to really enjoy this necklace. But, for those not Jersey bred, you can get it for any state, and they can add a star on your town, based on your zip code. And, yes, it is from SkyMall. http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=102825225&c=15004

Susan Posnick Mineral Foundation

This foundation stick saves me time every morning. Its mineral foundation powder, but in an all-in-one applicator brush. Its also great to throw in a makeup bag for touch-ups. And the blush is great to. http://www.susanposnick.com/

Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes Eyeliner

This eyeliner pencil stays on all day, and comes in every color imaginable. Seriously, every color. I really like the Iridescent Navy Blue.* *Thanks C. and M. for suggesting these! http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P35082&categoryId=B70

LeSportSac Patent Tote

I have been looking for a good tote bag, for traveling, with a zipper. It has to be lightweight, and durable. I think that this may be good. Plus it is shiny. http://www.shopbop.com/travel-tote-lesportsac/vp/v=1/845524441824625.htm?folderID=2534374302087631&fm=browse-brand

Balenciaga Giant Day Bag

My birthday is in October. This would be a good gift. Thanks. http://www.balenciaga.com/us/en/balenciaga/Women/Handbags/ShoulderBags/P-Giant-Day-Lambskin-Gold-Plated.aspx#product-details

Vitalicious Muffins

100 calorie muffins, brownies and tops. I think that chocolate pomegranate is my favorite. Or maybe the deep chocolate. http://www.vitalicious.com/store-vitatops.html

Prada Butterfly Sunglasses

In purple. By far the biggest, most fun sunglasses I own. Appropriately enough, I bought them in Vegas. http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod77630025&ecid=NMCIGoogleBaseFeed&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=D017N

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara

I generally only buy drugstore mascara. And now I know that I will always only buy drugstore mascara. This is the most lengthy-ess mascara I have ever used. http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Eye/Mascara/lash-stiletto-ultimate-length-mascara.htm

Kings of Leon

I hope that everyone that sits near my office likes the Kings of Leon as much as I do, because I haven't listened to anything else for a really long time. http://www.kingsofleon.com/

Stuart Weitzman Tijuana

Def don't need them. But will wear them and love them. http://www.zappos.com/product/7530289/color/103637

Olivia Harris Bags

From the designers for Gryson, this is their more affordable line of bags (I'm so thrifty!). I got the white Ball Hobo, which is the perfect summer bag. The picture doesn't do the bag justice: the leather is perfectly crinkled. http://www.oaknyc.com/women/accessories/bags-women/harris-wht-hobo

Nixon Watches

Every spring, I realize its imperative that I buy a summer watch. Something pink, plastic, and waterproof. And every summer I find one. There's no lack of pink plastic watches. This summer, I got the Nixon Vega Breast Cancer watch. And, an added bonus, its just a little Eighties. http://www.nixonnow.com/womens-watches/

Lululemon Online

As I said to a friend, the only thing that kept my spending at Lululemon under control was that I had to go in to the store to buy their clothes. Not any more . Last week their e-commerce site went live. And now I can buy Lululemon any time I want. * http://www.lululemon.com/ *I would thank the friend who made sure I knew about the online store, but I think he only told me to boost his own stock portfolio.

Yoplait Light Yogurt

I have been a Dannon Light & Fit (& Creamy when I can find it) fan for years. But I guess the Yoplait commercials, with the guy searching for the pies and cakes, finally got to me. I tried Yoplait Light for the first time. And I'm a convert. http://www.yoplait.com/products_light.aspx

Bottega Louie

A new restaurant downtown LA is cause for much excitement. But even more when it has a market, bakery, and great selection of small plates. Plus the service is fantastic. http://www.bottegalouie.com/

Bath Junkie

It sounds so cheesy -- you pick your fragrances from essential oils, and then add them to perfume, body lotion, salt scrub, whatever they have. But its so much fun. I may have my next birthday party here. And, the moisturizers and scrubs they have are great. Oh, and you can add colors to them. So you can totally have pink lotion, in whatever fragrance you want. http://www.bathjunkie.com/

Beirn Jenna Bag

Again, I have only bought one color. But, I havent even worn the color I own (yellow) and I want more. http://www.beirnbag.com/jenna.html

Freya Bathing Suits

Is it bad to want one of each print, with at least two tops in each print? But they fit so well. And are sold by bra size. Here are some of my favs. http://www.freyalingerie.co.uk/swimwear.aspx
