A few months ago, I went to the Grand Opening of the Korean jewelry store, J.Estina, at The Plaza Hotel. Though they are predominantly known for their crown designs which are symbols of good luck in Korea, J.Estina, has me seeing hearts with their special Valentine’s Day offer. Those of you in the New York area can enter to win a J.Estina sterling silver necklace and receive complimentary engraving on your purchase simply by printing the above card, filling it out, and dropping it off at their jewelry boutique at The Plaza.
Here’s some more fun Valentine’s Day shopping ideas from my heart to yours:
My Middleton style obsession and my undying love for British fashion has recently led to the discovery of the brilliant British e-tailer, Very.com, that launched in the United States last month with a launch party at the NYC SoHo house. Top American fashion icons such as Nicky Hilton and Whitney Port attended the event celebrating the U.S. introduction of a website dedicated to bringing British labels to the American socialite market.
Pippa and Kate both have an amazing sense of classic style. So it’s no wonder we’re all obsessed. It’s been said that Pippa Middleton alone generates up to 300 paparazzi pictures each day. However, once Pippa or Kate is seen wearing something, it sells out within seconds making it nearly impossible to dress in your favorite Middleton looks. That’s why I’m very thankful for Very.com. Every time I go on the site, I feel like I’m staring straight into the closets of Britain’s most famous sisters.
Disclaimer: This is NOT a sponsored post. I just loved Very.com so much and the ability it has given me to dress in a more Middleton fashion that I couldn’t keep it to myself.
Between finding the perfect holiday party outfit, buying cute Christmas ornaments, and styling my entire family in the hottest winter wear, I absolutely love holiday shopping. Call my spending habits frivolous, but they make me and everyone on my gift list very happy. In light of the less than socialite economy, I’m selecting gifts this year that are cute and funny.
Here are my top 5 favorites that are bound to up the cuteness for the 2011 Holidays:
1. kate spade “Spike the Punch” Shirt: The perfect thing to wear to a casual holiday party that is bound to show your style and sense of humor all while keeping with the happy spirit of the holidays.
2. Starbucks Tree Ornament: My love for coffee/caffeine deserves a place of honor high upon my Christmas tree.
3. Angry Birds Hat: My mom will kill me if I don’t get her one of these this year.
4. Christopher Radko Michael Kors Ball: Every socialite needs a designer Christmas tree complete with couture ornaments.
5. Fairisle Ear Muff Headphones: The moment I saw these awesome warm headphones at Juicy Couture, I had to have them. When I walk around the city in the bitter cold zoning out to Glee songs on my iPod, I like to do so stylishly.
Socialite Hint: You can support the economy and your sanity by getting your Christmas shopping done early.

Aside from how much I need to go shopping for summer clothes, this contest made me realize just how much any beach-going socialite needs a Vespa in her arsenal of accessories. Not only are they ultra European, but you can hop from place to place quickly as your hair blows in the summer breeze on one of these fab bikes. Though I regret that I have a previous engagement and will not be able to participate in this competition, I trust that the Vespa will go to a very stylish home. In the meantime, I will just have to add the Vespa S 50 4V to the list of items I aspire to own.
