We started telling you about our favorite things last week…but we didn’t quite get through all of the belle-ringin’ items.

Here are the rest…

Brunette belle is still totally into this fragrance…as we have mentioned before…

With it’s clean, floral scent laced with rose de mai, vetiver, and geranium, this fragrance elicits compliments from men and women, young and old. Available at Sephora, Nordstrom, and Amazon…take your pick! Christmas is only 80+ days away, hint, hint.

A bedtime buddy…

Dr. Brandt Hydro Biotic sleeping mask feels amazing going on and keeps skin hydrated, clear (with Manuka honey) and irritation-free. Available at Sephora, Ulta, and Amazon

We’ve mentioned this Stila belle-ringer before…but here it is again…

It’s our fave little lip and cheek multi-tasking secret! Choose “peony” for a healthy flush, “lillium” for a natural glow. Available at Sephora, Ulta, and Amazon

This one is used on an as-needed basis. The dreaded blemish emergency kit…

This one is a classic…and we’ve used it for years…Mario Badescu’s drying lotion!! One little pink dot on the angry area before bed equals clear skin in the morning. We kid you not! Available at Ulta

And last, but not least (for now)…the BEST-smelling body lotion EVER…

Available in a handy, travel-friendly tin, and in a pretty green bottle at Nordstrom

Whew! Now you know!!!

A couple of months ago, we received some samples in our Sephora order that really rang our belle! One of the samples that became a staple on one belle’s dressing table was ELIZABETH AND JAMES NIRVANA ROSE

With it’s clean, floral scent laced with rose de mai, vetiver, and geranium, this fragrance elicits compliments from men and women, young and old. Might be a good stocking stuffer…just sayin!

Available Here, Here and , Here

Over the last couple of weeks, we have shared some of our favorite gift-worthy items from retailers near and far.  Because time was on our (and your) side, we were focused on the lazy-belle way of shopping…online. Now that “the big day” is only a little more than a week away, we decided to scour local shops to find the very best they had to offer in the grab-n-go category (no sizes needed, easy to wrap – or have wrapped – and not too hard on the wallet).  

  
 From Muse Shoe Studio…where the selection goes far beyond shoes…

hair ties in the form of jewelry to adorn that ever-present ponytail (in our case). $6 individually-$44 for the set (from “by Lila”)

  

a huge selection of Hobo wallets

scarves galore

  

“BootKeepers” to protect that investment

  

these sets of studs will suit young and old (and the multi-pierced)…$30 for the set

  

Morse Code bracelets (so clever)…$45

  

this Dolce Cabo faux-fur vest…just $98

 

  
From Gages… 

these Conditions are Perfect flasks make for perfect conditions…just sayin’

  

a conversation piece with a noble purpose…one belle-husband must have! ($135)

  

doesn’t every nest need a holiday scent right now?

  

for the teacher…for any belle on the go…we must all be prepared!

  

every belle likes to snuggle up…Lands Downunder can help

  

to help keep track of those keys…only $19.50

  

and back to always bein’ prepared…never know when you might have to have a Moscow Mule!!

 

  
From Twill…

an impressive selection of Graybill and Downs candles and body lotions…a scent to suit all noses

  

keep her ears fashionably warm…$75

  

quite a selection of blanket scarves

  

Baggu pouches…like butter…only $64

  

this edgy, pink Rebecca Minkoff…only $95

  

a large selection of Gigi New York…always a winner

  

keep her organized with these fun cosmetic bags…$45-$55

 

 
From Savvy …

assorted beanies to suit all tastes

  

what belle doesn’t need a fashionable hand??

  

oh-so-popular felt hats …$38

  

THE earring from Sheila Fajl…she needs multiple sizes, of course

a Melvin race to the elbow will make her happy ($27-$45)

a bargain of a tassel necklace…only $32…you can put every color in that stocking, just sayin’

  

and a brand-new shipment of blanket scarves…get ’em now…they go fast!

 

  
From Monkees of the West End…

 

oh-so-chic and earth-friendly “Sew Few” bags…made right here in Greenville!

  

every belle needs to stay fashionable…even in soggy weather (from the Fillmore)

  

Hunter boots and more Hunter boots…a no-brainer!

  

Furrrrrr vests…just yummy ($285-$335)

  

T Marie necklaces would make any belle happy

  

YOU get a Sylvia Benson…and YOU get a Sylvia Benson…wait for the screams

  

über-fashionable Daniel Wellington watches for him and for her!
