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!

Mary Kate & Ashley have scored with their Elizabeth and James line…she needs a piece (or two)

Ho, ho, ho!!

10 essential shoes for every belle…a shoe fetish friend-1-1

all-weather boot, amazon, animal print, Aquatalia, ballet flat, basic pump, booties, ChristianLouboutin, espadrilles, evening shoe, Gucci, Hunter, indispensible shoes, ivanka Trump, j.crew, Jimmy Choo, Muse Shoe Studio, must-have, nordstrom, pelle Moda, Rag and Bone, rain boot, Sam Edelman, sandal, shoe, Tory Burch, Vanelli, wellie

We’ve been helping a dear belle-friend get her closet in order after three moves and three years of being “unsettled” (poor dear). In the process, we realized that every belle could be reminded of what we deem to be the shoe collection top ten. In other words…the ten pairs of shoes that we couldn’t live without.

If you have ’em all, you’re a savvy belle (or a shoe hoarder…takes one to know one…just sayin’). If you don’t have ’em, we’ve given you some options so that you can fill those holes, pronto!

We started at our favorite local shoe haunt, Muse Shoe Studio, with some picks to fill every belle’s needs…and we’ve added some online options for our far-flung friends…


1. A simple black pump 

Above is an Ivanka Trump design…classic and affordable…available at Muse and Amazon.


And this Christian Louboutin “simple pump” is a high-end no-brainier (its price-per-wear will make it a bargain!)  Find it HERE.

 2. A nude heel

A nude shoe goes with virtually everything…this Corso Como (above) from Muse fits the bill. Also available here.

And the Louboutin “simple pump” also comes in nude…just sayin’ ( at Nordstrom)

 3. An evening heel

Above…this metallic, strappy Pelle Moda from Muse adds a bit of bling to your festivities.

And the Jimmy Choo “Lang” (find it HERE) is another great (albeit more pricey) choice

4. A fun print

From Muse, this Sam Edelman combines two trends that are on-point now…and won’t be “out” anytime soon…animal print and the pointy-toe flat. You can also order it from Amazon.

and we have been long-time fans of the calf-hair, animal-print “Elsie” pump from J Crew. Pretty indispensable in our book!
 5. A ballet flat 

The quintessential staple for any stylish belle, this Vanelli (above) from Muse combines a bit of brown with the basic black for extra versatility .
 We are quite partial to this little  beauty as well….may even have to get it in all three colors!! Order here now for 20%off!!


6. A sneaker/espadrille.

This fashionable flat  from Sam Edelman will keep you chic and comfortable. Stop in for a pair at Muse… Or you can order here.


7. Booties/boots

Muse has an incredible selection in this category!  Wish we could include them all!  This basic bootie combines that of-the-moment shape with a comfortable heel-height and classic black. You can also find it here.

And we’ve touted the comfort and style of Rag and Bone booties before…but we are always willing to get preachy…the “Margot” at Nordstrom won’t let you down.

8. A sleek, all-weather street boot

We’ve sung the praises of Aquatalia boots before, belles…and we will do it again and again!  This “Gael” all-weather riding boot will be a staple till the cows come home! (We’ve been known to wear ours every…single…day while on trips to NYC, Paris, Chicago…). Absolute perfection!


9. A pair of Wellies/rain boots 

For walking the pups in style…or just surviving in this rain-soaked home we used to call the “sunny (hot, muggy) South”, this Sam Edelman bootie from Muse will keep you dry and happy.  You can also order it here.

And the “Original Tall” Hunter boot ( find it here) is a classic…and perfect for entertaining yourself by jumping in puddles (we have experience 😉

10. A neutral sandal

Tory Burch offers great options each year. The Kieran is a favorite of the belles.


And this Gucci “Marmont” stunner…of a sandal will ring belles for years to come

Inventory time, belles!!  Let us know if you have any additions. Wouldn’t want to miss out!
