Hi Santa, Can You Hear Me?

Dear Santa,


Quick question for you...May I receive fabulous gifts on the evening of Dec. 24th (they can be left w/my doorman - there is no chimney) even though I am Jewish?


Looking forward to your feedback!

xoxo

Jessica

Must Try: Phillip Kingsley Jet Sets

Jet Set Kit - $34 - http://www.spacenk.com

What qualifies you as a Jetsetter?

 

I'm flown to L.A. for less than 24 hours (for business of course), dropped by Barcelona, popped in to Tanzania...well, in retrospect they were actually well though out trips that took months of planning, booking car service and comparing hotels.

 

This holiday season, as you fly off to Brazil for a quality Christmas on the beach, or head to the ski sloaps for some serious competition, make sure to pack like a jetsetter.

 

Here are some of my fav. jet setting products this holiday:

 

An anywhere must: Philip Kingsley Jet Sets
These travel-friendly are available in four different variety to meet your scalp and hair care needs, and each set comes with a shampoo, conditioner, three Elastizer sachets or Itchy Flaky Scalp Tonic. It's sold in a cutie plastic carrying case, so just in case something leaks, it won't ruin all of our outfits for the trip!

J. Crew + Essie = My Pedicure Dreams Come True

Grommet wristlet $68 - J.Crew
Tinsel mini $295 - J.Crew
Haya sequin pullover $150 - J.Crew

I love getting a manicure and pedicure! What girl doesn't love to be pampered?

 

So, I was more than excited to hear that one of my all-time favorite clothing and accessory collections, J. Crew, partnered with the nail polish gurus at Essie to create four oh-so-fabulous nail colors for         J. Crew customers-only!

 

These four shades compliment J.Crew's holiday collection, which is overflowing with glamour, sparkles, studs and shine. And while my husband wants to keep me on a "budget" this holiday season, he can't dare complain about $20 nail polish.

 

What's your favorite nail polish this holiday season? Tell us about it!!!

Countdown to Chanukah (and yes, Christmas too)

By TheGlamtastic · November 18, 2010 · 0 Comments ·

My favorite time of year is always the consumer frenzy that ensues the weeks between Halloween and New Year's Eve. This window of shopping insanity used to be smaller, but every year it seems that the Christmas lights appear earlier and earlier.

 

So, this year I'm not waiting until after Turkey Day, Black Friday or Cyber Monday to get in the holiday shopping spirit. I'm starting right now!

 

For the next few weeks, I'll be rolling out my Chanukah countdown!

Scent-a-mental with Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy, Love Etc. and Vera Wang Princess

By TheGlamtastic · December 14, 2009 · 0 Comments ·
Vera Wang Princess Set $65 - Neiman Marcus
LOVE ETC...™ Eau de Parfum $24 - The Body Shop
Juicy Couture 'Viva la Juicy' Gift Set $70 - Nordstrom
I was fighting my way towards Saks this weekend, down a totally overcrowded 5th Avenue, hunting for a gift for my oh-so-fabulous 16 year old sister. What do 16 year old girls like, you ask? Well, let me tell you...makeup, boys, Facebook and texting.

Since my little sis has everything under the sun, I thought I'd get her the gift that no woman "needs", but every woman wants! Perfume of course!

Despite the recession, when it comes to gifts for a sibling, especially my oh-too-cool sister, I can't spoil her enough, so I ended up treating her to a few fabulous fragrances.

Viva La Juicy
Who doesn't love Juicy? My sister lives in the velour sweatsuits, the super cute shorts and tight tees...the list goes on. Now, I've introduced her to the latest Juicy must-have - Viva La Juicy. It's an exciting and enticing scent of fresh berries. mandarins, honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine. It finishes with touches of caramel, amber, vanilla and sandalwood. This fragrance is sweet and addictive. She LOVES it!

Love Etc. by The Body Shop
This light and lovely fragrance is composed of Jasmine, Vanilla and Sandalwood. It's sweet enough to capture that first kiss, and light enough to be worn everyday. Apply a spritz for a light hint of scent or a few for a more intense fragrance. LOVE that!

Vera Wang Princess
This holiday season, what girl doesn't want to feel like a princess? Vera Wang Princess is a playful fragrance made up of a flirty blend of water lily, lady apple, Mandarin meringue, pink guava and apricot skin mixed with floral notes. It's delicious and delightful, what girl wouldn't love it! I wish she would give this one back to me!

What gift are you wishing for this holiday season?
