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
