Neiman Marcus Christmas Book 2011

Let me first say that I am really against retailers promoting Christmas gift giving before Thanksgiving. Buuuut - the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book was just released and what kind of blogger would I be not to share the fantasy gifts with my lovely readers?


You can view all the gorgeous gifts in the NM Christmas book here and share what's on your list to Santa.

And if you haven't already entered to win this giveaway, what are you waiting for??? $50 may not get you more than a mascara at Neimans, but you can fill an entire bag of make-up with a $50 gift card to Target! One more day to win...

You say tomato, I say coral

I've been on the hunt for red (or coral) jeans since I spied these J Brands at Neiman Marcus.  I live in jeans and white shirts in the summer - usually of the Hanes mens v-neck 3-in-a-pack variety - so I thought a bright color on the bottom may spice things up around here.

blazer, jeans, scarf, oversized clutch, sandals

I've been wearing my old white blazer so much that it's turning into a lovely shade of dirty-kids-hands. Care instructions say "dry clean only" but it's 100% cotton, so I don't see why it can't be tossed in the wash.  Famous last words, right?

Copy Cat Chic

You know when you see a random stranger who looks so effortlessly put together and you think, "I want to look like her"?  Well, that's what I thought when I saw this Michael Kors ad in Vogue a few months ago.

 

And since I've spent the past few days in these pants, I thought I'd add the rest of the pieces to re-create this fall weekend look.

 Faux fur wrap, 19.99 orig 39.99

Long cardigan, 147.90 orig 248

Wedges, 89.99 orig 139

Double wrap belt, 28

Knit pants, 49.50

Leg warmers, 39

The slim fitting "un-sweatpant" is a little more universally flattering than the hi-waist harem cropped pants that the model is wearing in the ad.  And I can't tell, but is she also wearing socks with her shoes?  That's a lot of look, but she makes it all so easy.  What do you think?
