2011 Gift Guide: For Ladies

Dec 8, 2011

 

Michael Kors Saffiano Wallet ($140).  I’ve owned two of these wallets.  They are extremely well made, and come in fabulous colors.  This wallet is the perfect give for any woman.

Alex & Chloe All My Heart Ring ($90).  I’m not really into hearts, but this ring made me rethink my position.  The small stone detail is precious, and it comes in several metals (silver, gunmetal, rose and yellow gold) to suit any taste.  It can also be turned over to look like a pointed ring, so it’s two rings in one.

Piperlime Infinity Scarf ($34).  This is a great gift for a sister or sister-in-law.  You can find scarves in several colors, styles and price points, and they can be worn with casual or work attire.  Miss M likes to wear a camel cashmere one with a camel crewneck for a chic monochromatic look.

NV Gruet Rose Brut Champagne ($15).  I love to give pink champagne as a gift.  It’s bubbly, glamorous and pink, what’s not to love?  NV Gruet is one of my favorite bottles, and the wallet-friendly price just makes it taste that much sweeter.  If you want a more expensive bottle, Perrier Jouet makes a nice bottle in the $70 range.  

However, I would buy the cheaper bottle and a nice pair of champagne bowls to go with it.  They’re cooler than flutes with a vintage feel, and you can find a lot of beautiful antique ones on Etsy.

If you have any other ideas for gifts in different price ranges, leave them in the comments.  Goodness knows, women are almost as hard to shop for as men.

    Cheers on the Gruet! You know it's from Out West, right? Made in Albuquerque, NM! Which makes it my favorite bubbly, because it's from my homeland. Plus, it's really good.

How to Wear It: A Summer Shirtdress

A girlfriend texted me Saturday with a question that was uniquely D.C. Her office is no longer suits and sheath dresses, but it’s not jeans and athleisure either. “Can an office be ‘semi-formal’?,” she pondered. “What do I wear for that?!” Enter the shirtdress, the solution for summer.

The Beauty Edit: Neck Creams

Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]
