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!!!

We love to share our favorite things…and love to hear about yours as well! So when we find a must-have, we can’t wait to let ya know! Such as…a staple that one of us has in her bag-o-tricks (purse) at all times…

Stila Convertible Color in “petunia” (a peachy coral)

or in “Lillium” (a more reserved nude/ pink)…available at Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom, and Amazon

The creamy, coral goodness of “petunia” is a great pick-me-up to a tired, washed out face. It’s an instant lift to the spirits and the look! Tap onto cheeks, smooth onto the lips, and you are ready to face the day (or night!)

“Lillium” is a universally flattering pink that’ll make ’em wonder how you got that glow!

They’ll ring your belle. We promise.

It’s coming…ready or not!  Christmas is just a few short weeks away, and those gifts aren’t going to buy themselves!  We figured we would brainstorm some kick-ass ideas for you…’cause that’s what belles are for…

We have some ideas for him, her, the techies, the hostess…and we will share them all this week as we prepare to enter the “vortex”.  First up:

Some ideas for her…

Ya know how we are always saying, “remember who you are and where you came from”??  These will help with that:

From A. Jaffe:

 

the 14k gold version

 

Choose any location in the world and A. Jaffe will engrave the map and place a diamond where “X marks the spot” for where her heart is (or should be)…(there’s a less expensive sterling version as well)

And from Coordinates Collection (above…we’ve told y’all about these before) use the coordinates of that special place to create a piece that will be all hers

For a comfy, daily-wear bauble, from Mark and Graham, this Ariel Gordon Semi-precious Stone Necklace will be sure to please

 How about polishing up that  ponytail ? Comes in gold or silver . A great stocking stuffer from Nordstrom.

And from BuDhaGirl…we are still big fans of these all-weather bangles…for a bit of mindful glamour!


From our fave belle-friend-owned jewelry store, Croghans, in Charleston, this crowning glory of a ring (above) is perfect for the princess or regal matriarch.


From Nordstrom she will love these Stila “sweet kisses”…an excellent stocking stuffer!

 

in “pebble”

For the travelin’ belle, Longchamp’s Le Pliage (also available at Nordstrom) is a classic that she will surely love!

and this lux face brush from Tory Burch will be treasured


The Lenora Dame Polar Bear or Orange Puff bag charms from Shopbop will add some whimsy to her adventures


From Shopbop, the Shrimps “Abatha” faux fur coat will keep her warm


And the feet stay warm with these Foxy Sox (also from Shopbop)

Stay tuned…there’s more to come!
