Radici: Just Some Beautiful Things

I am blessed to have some rather impossible people in my life -- friends who are so awesomely creative, it's easy to feel inadequate in their presence; an independent mother who buys what she wants, when she wants it; and a charming fiance who would rather I get something pretty for myself than buy a gift for him (I told you he was charming!). For these beloved people, I have discovered Radici, an online gift depot with tons of insanely cool and unique handmade whatnots for home, baby, him, her, and everyone else.

Many of the products are one-offs, most have just a few available, and none of them are mass-produced, which means the impossible people I love will love and treasure the gifts I give, from the gorgeous hand-dyed silk and wool Sunset Rose Scarf (£140) for mom, to the Official Toothfairy Kit (£12) for niece. Oh, and this so-perfect-for-a-boyfriend-cardy Green Scribble Brooch (£45) for me!

Have a Fling

Here's a tasty little goodie for you... While the word "stylish" is not usually associated with chocolate ("yum," "more," and "I said more, dammit!" are more common), Fling™, a new brand of chocolates, may just be as stylish as they are scrumptious.


Fling™ is a rich truffle on a crisp, light layer smothered in shimmering, yes shimmering, chocolate, making it the most glamorous piece of candy you can eat. Each irresistible flavor has a different shimmer to it -- Milk Chocolate has hint of pink shimmer, Dark Chocolate has a kiss of gold shimmer, and Hazelnut has a whisper of orange shimmer. But the best part about Fling™ is that each chocolatey finger only has 85 calories, so you can afford to eat one or two and still fit into your clothes. Now that's stylish!


Fling™ is available at stores in California, but if you live somewhere else and need a chocolate fix you can order online at FlingChocolates.com.

Too Faced Mood Swings

Oh, how I loved mood rings when I was a little girl! I was amazed at this magical jewelry's ability to change colors according to how I was feeling (it never seemed to change from blue, but I didn't question it). Plus there were different shapes to choose from, so I could wear a star one day and an oval the next. They were the perfect mix of fashion and fun. This could be the reason why I am so intrigued by this Too Faced Mood Swing Emotionally Activated Lip Gloss.

Part of an new, limited edition Smurf collection available exclusively at Sephora, this body heat activated gloss magically changes from Smurf-blue Shimmer to countless shades of Smurfberry pink. The perfect mix of beauty and fun!

Head to Sephora.com for to see the entire limited edition Too Faced Smurf collection.

Cup of Joy

One of my New Year's resolutions is to make every experience more enjoyable, even the smallest thing, like drinking my morning coffee. Instead of keeping my latte in the paper cup offered at Starbucks or Coffee Bean, I plan to transfer my morning fix to a proper mug. Something so simple will make that first fifteen minutes at the office so much more indulgent.


I'm recently engaged but a little more bling never hurt anyone, right?




These mugs are so chic they'll make the watered-down coffee at the office taste a wee bit better.




Colorful graphic prints are a great pick-me-up for those mornings when waking up is hard to do.



What are your New Year's resolutions? Tell me about them in the comments.

Let Tiffany & Co. Host Your Poker Night

Only Tiffany & Co. could come up with what is possibly the most fabulous deck of cards to ever be played on poker night.


The ever-so-chic Tiffany & Co. Playing Cards could make even the rowdiest bunch toss out the cigars and cheap beer for champagne and caviar. They come in Tiffany blue and pink with a chocolate brown border, or a Tiffany blue and pink argyle-inspired print, all nestled in a Tiffany blue box. They make a great gift, and at $30 you can actually afford to give them to someone, no bluffing!

James Perse Beach Cruiser?

In a quite drastic departure from fashion (i.e. in the conventional sense), namely his signature, so-soft knits, James Perse has designed a custom beach cruiser...as in the bike.

The James Perse Cruiser features a hand-aged leather seat and grips, extra-large aluminum sprocket, a Hydroform steel frame, and lots more groovy details. Plus it comes in four sleek colors: choose from Matte Black, Dark Orange (shown), Khaki Green, and Antique White. There's a limited supply and they're only available at James Perse boutiques, so if you can afford the $2,200 price tag, hurry down and get one!

Oh Baby!

My dear friend Nik is having a baby boy this summer and I am wildly excited about the impending arrival of my nephew. Spotted these so-genius goodies at Intuition that I can keep at my place for when baby comes to visit "Auntie Angel!"


I have horrible memories of changing my little brother and getting, um...sprayed. These soft, cone-shaped covers will guarantee I stay dry during diaper changes. Each pack comes with 10 wash-and-reuse teepees.




There will be no shortage of hugs and kisses for the wee one but should I have to put him down for a sec (and I do mean a sec) these snuggly little blankets and toy puppy combo can keep him company.




Because they're just too cute!

My First Biker Boots, $35



And on another note, I have a girlfriend who's getting married this July and I'm already pressuring her to give me a niece so I can buy these:

Benetton Goes Soft



Remember the racy (and sometimes controversial) ad campaigns United Colors of Benetton ran in the 90s?

Well now they've softened things a bit and have an equally stunning, but much prettier campaign, with a sort of rag doll theme. Sweet, no?

A Touch of Sweetness

Spotted these impossibly cute necklaces at Adore Vintage - they're sweet and charming, but not overtly so, and will go flawlessly with spring's most romantic looks!

Pluey on You

It's raining, nay pouring, in Los Angeles. Cats and dogs. And other cute little furry animals. I mean it is really coming down! While I understand most Southern Californians are ill-prepared for such downpour I still find it hard to believe what I saw this morning - a young woman, wearing denim capris and flip flops! Sister girl, may I recommend an umbrella and a trip to Plueys?!

Plueys.com is where you'll find the most adorable wellies to keep your feet dry and warm and your style quotient intact. Delightfully colorful (the better to brighten up your rainy day with, my dear), with a dash of whimsy, every pair of boots comes with a matching carrying bag so you can change out of them if you want to (if you want to!).

They also have boots for the bambinos, and by the way, when you order any pair for adults, you'll get a kids' pair free. Now that's news that should have you singing in the rain!

Sweet Links

It's the first Monday of 2008 - let's mark the occasion with a few sweet links!


Beauty Gizmo tried it and confirmed it's not as scary as it looks.


I spied the most precious little onsies on Style Tots - perfect for my girlfriend Nik, who's giving birth to my niece or nephew this summer!


Painfully Hip gives a lesson on defining your own unique style...a New Year's resolution perhaps?


Got cheekbones? If not, MAC cosmetics has the solution and Vanity Vibe has the scoop.


The Fashion-y Blog really loves shoes, and I can see why!


It's only the beginning of the year and already Fashion Trend Guide is getting her shop on!

Urban Princess

Urban Outfitters is the go-to place for runway-inspired knockoffs, reconstructed vintage finds, and deliciously unique and edgy, layerable pieces - all at incredibly affordable prices. But there is also a softer side to U.O. It's sweet and feminine and even a little princess-y.

The unexpected hint of Chantilly lace on this cropped cardigan add just the right amount of sweetness. Kimchi & Blue Chantilly Cardigan, $88

The name of this shoe label (Fairytales are True) is so perfectly charming and the scalloped patent trim is surprisingly girly - though the shoes are modeled after men's. Fairytales are True Spectator Ballet, $38 This is a winning combination of lace, ruffles, and satin, but it's not too precious, especially paired with contrasting tights. Free People Gauze Fiesta Dress, $148

How perfect is this shade of bubble gum pink? The ultimate princess collar! Plus the Peter Pan color and full skirt make it flawless. Peel Daydream Dress, $119.99
This necklace is so whimsical and charming - an appropriate final touch for a sweet ensemble. Take Flight Lucky Necklace, $18


Leave it to Urban Outfitters to have a lace pattern printed on this princess pink, silk scarf - so pretty. Silk Lace Printed Scarf, $28

Pajama Party

So, I've been busy dodging raindrops and shoving my way through crowds to get my Christmas shopping done (I'm soo up for the task - I live for this!). In doing so, I've discovered the one, sure-fire gift to give my girlfriends who have everything (i.e. the fantastic home, adorable kids, and every stiletto by every designer ever born) -- PJs! Really, who doesn't love a new pair of nighties to slip into after a long day?

These so-comfy, so-colorful jammies are all-at-once sexy and sweet! Plus, they're so cheap at just $29.99

Victoria's Secret Thermal Long Jane Pajama



This is perfect for those nights when you want to sleep in just about nothing at all. The only thing is, he'll probably have a hard time keeping his hands off you!

Heart Break Cami Set




This chocolate brown and pink number is so retro! Plus it's ideal for lounging around in the next morning.

Bedhead Pink Deco Sateen Cotton Nightshirt
