Sunday Shopping – Cheery, comfy tops for busy moms

Clairity — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 03:29:11 +0000

Let’s face it, moms run around a lot, and I mean, a lot! And because we do, we want to be wearing something we can be comfortable in all day. And by comfortable, I don’t mean drab and frumpy. You can be comfortable and yet look like you’re carrying the sunshine in your clothes and your smile.

Motel Olivia Face Print Top

I love the black and white oversized face on this Motel Olivia Face Print Top and the finger on those bright red lips going “ssshh” is priceless. To quieten down your kids, simply point to your shirt and go “see this? it says ssshhh” .

Not only that but those red lips contrast perfectly against a black and white background, and since the shirt hits at the hips, it’s just the perfect length to camouflage big hips and butts when paired with skinny jeans or leggings.

Up in the Primaries Sheer Striped Top

This adorable short sleeve Up in the Primaries Sheer Striped Top is made of sheer ivory chiffon printed with poignant stripes in red, yellow, blue, and grey. A really cute and happy top. The cuffed button tab sleeves have matching striped buttons for the kind of detail that really counts.

Headdress Rehearsal Grey Print Top

This soft grey knit top with a cozy oversize design, easy scoop neck, unhemmed dolman sleeves, and a trendy high-low hem is perfect for the weekend outing. You can easily pair this Headdress Rehearsal Grey Print Top with a pair of jeans or leggings. Love that unique black and rust headdress print!

Early Sunday Shopping – Stocking stuffers and gift ideas for moms

Clairity — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 04:37:00 +0000

And okay, let me tell you what I found this week. A treasure trove of fashion accessories that I would love to own, and I mean as in, own all of them. I started out thinking I would only feature 3 or 4 but as you can see, I got really carried away!

About Color Wave Bracelet – Sari Mix
This is my favorite. I can’t help it but I’m all about colors! And cuff bracelets.

Kinross Cashmere Zig Zag Scarf – Hemlock Multi
I chose this because it is so Missoni-like but you don’t have to pay the price. So that’s reason enough, eh!

About Color Lacie Bead/Wire Bangle S/4 – Red
Okay, there’s a certain mystic about multiple Indian bangles which make the most beautiful music when I move my hands.

Linea Pelle Double Wrapped Sliced and Studded Bracelets
This is gorgeous! So incredibly sexy I might actually buy one of these for myself . I’ve got a couple of leather bracelets but I need more!

Frenzeee Silver Beads Y Necklace – Silver
Classy in a simple sort of way. Gorgeous with a V-neck little black dress.

Kinross Cashmere Ruched Scarf – Vermillion
I’m not a scarf person and I just don’t get those scarves that are as big as blankets. But this one’s nice, it’s narrow and red (perfect for Christmas!)

Ficcare Glittery Gold Waterfall Pony Holder
Your ponytail is going to be bright as the stars over 40 Swarovski crystals here, enough to light up a whole room!

Scr-eeeech!!! Hell, if I don’t brake here, I’ll never get this post published. So go check out the whole selection of fashion jewelry at up to 40% off plus free shipping. You’ll be spoilt for choice, I guarantee it.

Late Sunday Shopping – Stocking stuffers and gift ideas for guys

Clairity — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 05:41:47 +0000

Since I featured some gift ideas and stocking stuffers for the girls earlier (and some of you moms said you wouldn’t mind receiving some of those funky items yourself), I decided I didn’t want to leave out the guys. So I went window-shopping again and picked out a few items, which if I were a guy (or a tomboy ), I would love to receive.

Spicoli 4 Shades
I like that these are shaped like the Rayban Wayfarer.

Bolted Wallet
Love the clean lines on this wallet. Such a nice change from the regular old leather wallet.

Switch Blade Keychain
Practical functionality, what’s not to love?

Jibby Fedora, Men
Reminds me of Johnny Depp .

Gudauskas Brothers E-Street, Men
My teens are big fans of Vans super-cool 2-tone shoes.

Vans has some pretty cool stuff and my teens love their wallets, T-shirts and of course, their shoes. Now you can receive a Free $15 eGift Certificate and Free FedEx 2-Day shipping on orders of $75 or more at Vans. Be sure to use the code – THEBLOCK – at checkout. Offer ends December 16, 2011.

Sunday Shopping: Stocking stuffers and gift ideas for the girlie teen

Clairity — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 02:45:49 +0000

Sunday’s the day I go window-shopping and this week, I found some stuff worth going goo-goo-ga-ga over. If I were 18 again, these would be my picks of gifts to receive this Christmas from Mom and Dad, or whoever *shrug*.

WAH Nail Kit
As you know, Raine is all about funky nails and she says, let me shape and sharpen my claws in style .

Pink Suede Clutch
While pink may not necessarily be everyone’s color, I would definitely pair this cute clutch with a clashing outfit to make a great fashion statement.

Charm Feather Bangle
This is entirely too gorgeous for words. Seriously! That blue feather adds a touch of native American Indian which I find hard to resist. I would so wear this and never take it off!

Leopard Ipad Case
What’s not to love about animal prints? They look good on ~~nearly~~ everyone especially your iPad. Roar!

Flower Vine Headband
Lest you think I’m too wild for my own good, I love a touch of vintage too. Power to the flower!

Remember these are only my choices. But there’s a wide range of choices where these came from and I’m sure you’ll find something there that your teen will love.
