Stock up on sweaters

This year sweaters are immensely popular. I see sweaters as the t-shirts in the winter. They go with jeans, skirts, they can be layered over blouses, dresses. They tend to be light weight and well-fitted now. No more heavy, bulky shapeless ugly sweaters (especially ugly Christmas sweaters)!

3-day gift specials at Macy’s

Just a quick post about Macy’s hot shoes list and 3-day extra special sale where you save 20-50% on shoes!  Pick up some hot high heel shoes for a loved one and for yourself.  I like to buy shoes for the ladies in my family as Christmas gifts. In a way, their fashion sense is way more “sensible” than mine. So I like to get them shoes that are a little unexpected, something they wouldn’t normally get for themselves. And when I do, they always love my choice.  Most of the ladies in my family have fairly conservative day jobs, myself included. Nurse, banker, teacher, pharmacist… so they don’t get to play around the edgier side of the fashion too often. But they are always willing to experiment. And I don’t hesitate to try to convince them to try new trends. Of course there are times when they don’t work out. Trends don’t work for everyone right? That’s why I like to stick with more classic styles but with a twist for the more mature ladies, whereas with the younger set, I can be a lot more adventurous.
Isn’t this RACHEL Rachel Roy Erba sandal above ($139) just darling? It’s suede, so it’s more of a winter sandal.  Something perfect for going out.  The dark purple, bright pink and orange color combo is so fun.  And we all know how hot color-blocking is (has been for a better part of the year!). I think this suits a wide age range. The managable heel and relatively thin platform are classic.

This Vadio Platform Sandal ($98) is super hot too. I immediately thought of my guy’s 22-year-old niece, who is a hip young lady who works hard and plays hard. And keeping with the color-blocking theme here, this color combo is edgier, and the patent leather, sky high heel, and the high platform are just perfect for her youth.
