holiday gift guide.

The holidays are almost near and that brings one thing, lots and lots of holiday shopping! Every year we find ourselves dealing with the same conundrum, what do we get for our man, mom, and more?  This year, we have put together a holiday gift guide for you to follow for anyone and everyone special in your life!

one way or the other.

Do you have any standout pieces that you love to wear, but you always don it the same way each time? We work in the corporate world and life sometimes calls for a more conservative look, but our happy hour is usually downtown at a cute bar - how do you work it out? Check out this jacket we sought out from Mango that can go both ways! Wear it one way, or the other!

Wear It Now, Wear it Later!

Accessorize your winter wardrobe! We have this season’s hottest accessories here. 

1. 1920s inspired hat or wide-brimmed fedora

2. Mixed fabric outerwear - try this one from Zara

3. Riding boots
4. Gloves by Karl Lagerfield

5. Cozy Cardigan

6. 3.1 Phillip Lim bag

State of Sandy

Sorry we haven’t been posting much this week – a lot has happened! Unfortunately NYC and NJ were in the eye of the storm. Although we were not directly affected, friends, family, and coworkers were put out of their homes due to destruction, no power, and flooding.  We are donating clothes to help those in Breezy Point, NY and volunteering at the Jersey Shore where we have a beach house.  You can help too by donating to the RED CROSS to support those in need. 

In case of emergency, are you prepared? We have put together a list of items that might come in helpful if you are in distress.

1. Candles to light the way
2. Matches to ignite your candles

3. Bottled Water to stay hydrated
4. Flashlight and batteries incase you need to be mobile
5. Phone Card in case power goes out and you need a payphone – many cellphones were not working during the storm and it was suggested that texting was better form of communication than a phone call

6. Blankets to stay warm

7. Canned Food so you don’t starve

8. Rain boots for the hike
9. Gas for your car so you can evacuate with no issues

The most important thing to remember is that if your town is being evacuated, don’t be a hero! Leave town before it is too late. Shelters are in place for those who do not have family or friends outside of the area – seek them out and head there.

I commend the Mayor and Governor of NY and the Governor of NJ for making citizens aware of the events, updating them frequently, and sending help the best they could. Although some areas are still crippled, many places are coming back to life just as fast as they were put out.
