Feel free to bow down before the fashionabelle find of late!!! We have discovered another delight that has us positively giddy!

Perhaps y’all have seen the latest ads for Tiffany’s T square collection…

For a piddly $5000.00, you can ask Santa to put it in your stocking.

Or…you might have a better shot at getting this beauty and still leave your favorite Santa a little flush for other thoughtful gifts under the tree.

These are made by hand from brass and are priced at…drumroll…$68.00!!! They are made by Meredith Anne Sutton, are absolutely beautiful and have a great weight and feel to them. Get them at Savvy.

But be forewarned…as these are made by hand, if you don’t act quickly, you will need to get on the wait list and put it on your wish list for valentines day. It will be worth the wait as we promise this will become a uniform piece worn everyday. Belle-worthy!!

Here’s a view of this little beauty playing nicely with her friends…

And…because belles love options…we, of course, have a BaubleBar find that we must report! Check out this insta-stack…

Three pieces to stack as you please, and…as with all BaubleBar finds, the price is belle-ringin’ awesome…just $58!

So there you have ’em, belles…great additions for the race to the elbow. Ready…set…go!!

For this edition of our gift-giving suggestions, we thought we might share some very useful, yet budget-friendly (all under $50!), options. We are regular “goop” readers and saw a couple of these on her gift ideas post…but we went digging a bit further, keeping prices low and practicality paramount. Hint to either of our mothers, sisters, children…(cough, cough) we kinda like this stuff. Might we find one or two in a stocking or under our trees?? Just sayin’.

From the MoMA Store…

The 4-in-1 travel adaptor…$25. Good for the travelin’ belle or fella

And more from the MoMA store…
Nothin’ but blue skies…

The Blue Sky Umbrella… What belle wouldn’t like this overhead on a rainy (or snowy) winter day?? Just $48…or get the collapsible version for $40.

Operate that “rectangle” in the cold…

Keep the fingers warm and in control with these artsy Touchscreen Gloves. A budget-friendly $28…and they come in a man-friendly black and gray, as well!

For the blogger…hint, hint…cough, cough…

IMG_1713.JPG
This A-Fold iPad Stand makes an awful lot of sense. Come on…it’s only $48!

For the cook…from Sur la table…

IMG_1714.JPG
This rosemary tree wrapped in burlap would make a delightful delivery! Can be used as part of the holiday decor, but will be used and appreciated well after the tinsel has been cleared! This one will only set you back by $29.95. (And for a local, do-it-yourself delivery…we’ve seen some great rosemary topiaries at Home Depot. Just do a bit of creative wrapping and you’re all set!)

Here’s one that goes a wee bit over budget…$55…but we just had to share:

IMG_1715-1.JPG
From Bergdorf Goodman, the Giles & Brother Personalized Skinny Railroad Spike Bracelet is edgy and stackable…so the entire family can be commemorated! (By the way…it’s a bit reminiscent of this little beauty from Cartier…only $7545 less!)

For the younger set…

IMG_1717.JPG
This Outside the Lines coloring book should keep ’em busy for a bit. Order on Amazon for just $18 or less…and they have other suggestions as well.

Or maybe a book or two…

IMG_1718.JPG
The Open Ocean is interesting and educational…you might even find yourself curled up with it! From authors Pittau and Gervais who have another couple of books in their repertoire…maybe you should buy a set!

So there you have it, belles…lots of perfectly practical, thoroughly thoughtful options for your gift-giving pleasure.

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Dear belles, do we have a dazzler for you!!  With all of the cooking, gardening, and general living we do, it’s hard to keep our jewels sparkling. And a belle always needs to sparkle!!

Enter the Connoisseurs Diamond Dazzle Stik.  This amazing little product is super easy, totally portable (about the size of your typical lip gloss) and makes that diamond ring shine like it did on the day that sweet man proposed!

Available on Amazon.com for less than $10, you might as well get one for home, travel, and on-the-go!!

dazzle, shine, sparkle, belle!
