In case you were wondering what Uncle Karl Lagerfeld has been up to, here it is- his new collection of Diet Coke.
GIFT GUIDE
MOTHER’S DAY
When I gift, I take it seriously. I love to give themed gifts and for this Mother’s Day I am thinking Amalfi Coast.
To anchor the gift, I suggest a beachy Slim Aarons coffee table book. Options include:
PETER COTTON TAIL
I would like to think that the Easter Bunny’s name is more like Peter than Frank, but these days Im just fine with Mom.
Easter Bunny, Peter/ Frank/ Mom, you exist and we would all like a nice pair of Urbanears for the summer.
FRUGAL FRIDAY: BOULEVARD WORTHY
When I found this adorable get-me-a-vintage-bike-now open weave wine tote and realized that is was only $25, I bought one for all of my best friends’ birthdays for 2011. (Sorry to ruin the surprise, ladies.)
The football tailgate at my college was called “The Boulevard,” and being in the South, the girls and guys decked out in their preppiest looks and ‘got tips,’ as Chingy would say. This accessory is perfect for that scene.
FOR HIM ON VALENTINES DAY
It is no secret that men like to look good and be “in the know,” as my dad would say. Nothing is more telling about a man than the details of his wardrobe.
This is a thoughtful gift for your man and your dad (they need a little love too) for Valentines day.
In true VENZedits form, I found this Cartier money clip on SALE for just $196 and it ships for free! (And, unless you are in Florida, is tax free!)
**Apologies as this item sold out quickly after posting. Ill be back tomorrow with more gift ideas for your man.
V DAY COUNTDOWN: T-11
Do you remember when Rodger got Rachel (Zoe) a pair of gold Jack Vartanian handcuff bracelets for Valentines day last season? (Yes, this is a “Rachel Zoe Project” reference.)
At the time I thought, “cheeky, a bit kitschy- but girl does have all the best bling.”
While the handcuff bracelets might be a bit severe (more for his wallet than your wrist), I LOVE the rose gold ring version with tiny diamonds.
(Cough, cough. Hint, hint. Size 6.5)
MY MOMS BRA
My mom puts her phone in her sports bra. I have never asked, but I bet her credit card is there too.
Solution to the nastiness: thecallet.com.
Is it the new clutch? No. Tacky. This is purely for daytime errand necessity consolidation. Great gift, huh?
LAST MINUTE LIST: tom ford
As Amber mentioned earlier, “aviators have never met a face they did not flatter,” and this includes men.
Tom Ford sunglasses have a distinct cross at the nose bar that flatters the face- those that know will recognize this TF signature.
Dad still wants to be cool, so help him look like he knows this year and get him his first Fords.
REAL MEN CARRY A BRIEFCASE
The Filson briefcase is a perfect gift for the man that has already arrived or the man in college making the transition into the workforce.
Dress it up with a navy suit for business meetings or down for class.
Filson’s lifetime guarantee on rugged products is unique- another feature that appeals to the practical man.
ALL ABOUT THE PACKAGE
“The holidays are above all about giving my family and friends presents I know they will love. There’s nothing better than receiving a beautifully wrapped present- I love that feeling.”
-Zac Posen
I agree, Zac. Gifting is really all about the presentation.
Last year I gave my boyfriend’s parents a set of hand-blown aqua glasses from IKEA. If I would have left them in the cardboard box they came in and stuck a bow on top, my gift would have looked like the $16 gift that it was, even though my gift was thoughtful- I had spent time to find them glasses to match the art in their vacation home.
