Tricks of the Trade

2011-04-18T16:56:00.000-07:00

Have you wondered how some girls can pull off a loose tops with out any spill-outs or wear their heels for hours without complaints? Though these gifts seem to be a natural blessing, these gifts often come with a little help. Everyone should be able to keep that sexy lace bra under your work wear a secret instead of being the water cooler gossip when the office AC comes on. These little tricks of the trade do more than keep a look pulled together. They keep you from focusing on the little things so you can enjoy yourself!

Bristol 6 Nippies

Not only great for coverage when you are hens bra, but also great to wear with thin lace bras for some additional coverage.

Gal Pal Travel Deodorant Remover

This little scrubber has saved my outfit many times. Not only does it work on deodorant marks, but it diminishes foundation smudges surprisingly well, all without water or detergent!

Foot Petal Tiptoes

A pair of killer heals can cause some pain after a night of dancing. These cute little pads will give you a few more hours on your feet.

Her Look Matchsticks

These double stick tape strips have so many uses. They keep straps in place, hold a him or cuff up, fix the gap on your button down, and hold a wrap top closed.

Her Look Commando Thong

This thong is a guaranteed no show! completely seamless and the nude color is perfectly hidden in light colored bottoms.

Her Look Takeouts

A boob job in a box! Sometimes we all need a little boost. They have a surprisingly natural look and feel. Plus the box makes them so fun to wear you wont care if they suspect.

Your April Showers Outfit

2011-04-09T10:33:00.000-07:00

The promise of warm weather on the horizon has us impatiently counting the days to be able to wear our spring trend buys. But spring is not without it difficulties when it comes to planning your outfit for the day. If you are like me, you have already been caught leaving work in a skirt in a down pour with the morning gave prelude of a perfect spring day. instead of being stuck in the winter wear for another month, here are a few ways to work them in during the unstable weather months.

Peace in your spring buys with your winter wear. A bright purse will add instant cheer to your outfit.

Melie Bianco Charlotte Bag in Salmon, Juicy Couture Canvas Floral XL Daydreamer in Regal Multi, Ted Baker Bow Ikon Bag in Turquoise

Always bring a light jacket or cardigan! They're easily able to fit in a large purse. And it's better to have a little room taken up in your bag than to be stuck in the cold without a cover-up.

Tulle Safari Jacket in Khaki, Splendid Long Sleeve Pocket Cardigan in Military, Michael Starsw 3/4 Sleeve Cardigan in Heather

The only thing bad about the wide leg trend, is getting caught in the rain. If their is even a slight chance of rain chose the cropped trend to avoid drenched legs.

J Brand Inez Slim Fit Chino in Vintage Fawn, Juicy Couture Troupe Wool Pant in Castle Grey, Hudson Dundee Cargo in Wheat

Don't end up ruining your new footwear dashing through puddles. Opt for close toed booties, flats, or rubber heals!

Apepazza Strsburgo Heeled Boot in Black, Melissa Patchuli Wedge in Brown, Nicole Eager Oxford in Black

How to Wear Cropped Bottoms

2011-03-25T19:17:00.000-07:00

Cropped bottoms are a growing style trend and have been all over the spring runways. The tapered trousers and a straight cargo are very in right now and feel fresh and new. Unfortunately, this trend can look unfaltering and dated if not done right.

Hudson Relaxed Straight Jean in Military

Leggy women can pull off the tapered cut, but should insure that that the crop hits low on the calf and slightly above the ankle. This will keep the look like purposeful and not like you have grown out of your pants.

7 For All Mankind Adara Night Crop Flare in Adar Night

Those with shorter legs or who are pear shaped are best suited with a straight cut or wide leg style. This will elongated and slim the leg. A nude heal will also help in this department!

Juicy Couture Carmella Ankle Jean in Black

If you have heavy calves, you can still work this trend. Just insure the crop hits at the smallest part of your calf as this is where the visual focal point will be. The smallest part of the leg will tend to be right above your ankle.

Hudson Bacara Crop Straight Jean Stockport

Alternatively, if you have thin calves a close fit cut is better suited for you making your legs look proportionate and shapely. A wide cut will only make you leg look scrawny.

If you're wondering what to wear with this cropped style, a flowing top is very of the moment. Chose a peasant top, loose tee, or ruffles. A jacket or blazer can be worn over the top and will perfectly nip in the waist.

Hi Lo: Roberto Cavalli & Wheels & Doll Baby

2011-03-13T17:24:00.000-07:00

The animal print trend continues on this spring! I adore this Roberto Cavalli animal print silk georgette dress from netaporter.com, but alas, cannot come up with the $2,095 for it. Luckily Wheels and Doll Baby makes a gorgeous version, the Novak Dress, for just $311.85.

Celebrity Style: Kat Dennings in Juicy Couture

2011-03-11T09:00:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite young actresses is Kat Dennings, who has made some great film choices and promises to have a great career ahead of her as both a leading lady and comedienne.

Here she's wearing one of my favorite Juicy Couture dresses, the Juicy Couture Skipperling Dress in Fig. She's definitely pushing the sex appeal angle of this dress which up until now I always thought was pretty tame...leave it to young starlets to take anything and make it seductive.

Celebrity Style: Khloe Kardashian in Juicy Couture

2011-03-10T09:00:00.000-08:00

As the Kardashian empire continues to grow and expand its world domination it's interesting to see what Kim, Kourtney and Khloe are styling themselves in. With their Dash stores doing well and the New York store opening covered in the upcoming Kourtney and Kim Take New York show on E! the sisters are poised to get their hands on some amazing apparel.

I love that Khloe Kardashian took a casual, easy approach to luxury in her Juicy Couture velour black hoodie and pant and paired it with her Hermes bag and Australia Luxe Collective boots.

Celebrity Style: Paris Hilton in Hale Bob

2011-03-07T13:53:00.000-08:00

The Paris Hilton of today is a different creature than I remember.

Hale Bob is known for their luxurious pieces that have definite class and it's nice to see Paris wearing them. She was spotted wearing the Hale Bob Feather Wrap Dress which I fell in love with when we received it here at Urban Minx in both Neutral and Blue. The perfect flattering wrap dress to wear and feel both beautiful and comfortable.

Celebrity Style: Selena Gomez in Hudson Jeans

2011-03-03T14:01:00.000-08:00

Poor sweet, little Selena Gomez, having to fight off all those rabid fans of her boyfriend Justin Bieber. Luckily she's a beautiful young talent with great style so I'm sure she'll gracefully weather this storm. It can't be easy dating a guy who just auctioned off his hair for $40,668 on ebay...Regardless, the girl has a eye for style. She has been spotted time and time again wearing one of our minx favorites, Hudson Jeans. Here she's wearing the Hudson Signature Bootcut Jean, which we've got in Elm, Brigg, Ascot, Black and ASC (whatever that stands for ;). So regardless of if Selena & the Biebs are battling photographers or fans, you can rest easy knowing that at least she'll be looking fierce.

New Designer Annie and Jade

2011-02-24T09:16:00.000-08:00

Urban Minx welcomes new designer Annie and Jade. We are in love with their gorgeous dresses and rompers. They offer a verity of styles to take you from day to formal wear in luxurious materials like silk and hemp. The look is feminine with draping, layered ruffling, and bright colors. Another bonus for this designer, it's all made in the USA.

Denim Button Down

2011-02-18T13:08:00.000-08:00

True Religion Rocky Western Shirt in Claim Jumper, True Religion Rocky Shirt Dress in Claim Jumper, True Religion Rocky Western Shirt in Expedition

Denim is making a comeback on more than jeans. The versatility of the denim button down is making it a classic must have.

Denim can be worn together if the pieces are in contrasting washes. Bonus for breaking up the outfit with a belt.

If denim on denim makes you uneasy, pair with a pant in black, white, or brown.

I'm personally loving the top being worn as a blazer over a girlie dress. It bring just the right about of toughness to a cutesier outfit.

Prints and Texture

2011-02-17T18:12:00.000-08:00

Prints and texture are hitting the runway big this season. And who better captures this trend than Hale Bob? They always bring a new array of patterns and colors that will guarantee you to stand out above the masses.

I'm loving the Corey Burnout V Neck in Grey. The basic color of the dress is unexpectedly transformed by the alternating textures in the material.

The bold colors of the South of the Border Dress in Multi is also right on point for spring. You are guaranteed to stand out in this dress, in a very good way.

Nicole's Spring Collection

2011-02-15T17:06:00.000-08:00

Nicole is one of our Favorite shoe designers. Always trendy and classic, they're right on point with their new spring collection. I'm loving their oxfords which are making their way into every fashionista's wardrobe this spring. Their sandals, booties, and wedges are so light you can easily wear them all day. Plus their simple design will complement any outfit you wear them with.

Proud Wedge Sandal in Ash Grey, Peace Sandal in Dark Brown, Eager Oxford in Grey

A ssertive Bootie in Black, Able Wedge Sandal in Walnut, Curious Heeled Sandal in Rust

Hi Lo: Emilio Pucci & Bailey 44

2011-02-13T09:00:00.000-08:00

There is absolutely nothing low about this exquisite Bailey 44 Merquez Dress in Zebra print, it is a really beautiful dress with great fit for a seriously great price of $152.

As amazing as the Emilio Pucci printed black and white abstract dress is from net-a-porter, I just don't think that $1,950 is worth it. I know, I know...it's a high fashion designer, etc etc...but I'm sticking with Bailey 44 on this one.

Both are totally chic, modern dresses that are seriously comfortable and fun to wear. Shop Bailey 44 and more at urbanminx.com

Bailey 44: A Sorceresses Philosophy

2011-02-12T09:00:00.000-08:00

The only thing we can expect from Bailey 44 is the unexpected, surprising and sometimes magical. I adore these draped Grecian style tops dusted with sparkles.

They are both pretty and delicate without losing any strength. The Bailey 44 Philosophy in Boudoir Top is gorgeous in both white and black.

Also gorgeous and elegant, the Sorceress Top in grey or black.

Whatever your choice, know that the wonders of magic, Harry Potter, sparkly vampires from Twilight and the like don't have to be your only source of excitement. Try Bailey 44's wearable creations that are full of fantasy but easier than wearing a cape.

2011-02-11T13:08:00.000-08:00

On a West Hollywood shopping trip, Twilight star Nikki Reed showed off her hip, young style by wearing one of our most coveted Juicy Couture pieces: the Striped Military Cardigan in Heather and Black.

To complete this look we would start with the Michael Stars Lace Beater Tank in White, great to pair with a must have for the season, Juicy Couture's Sophie Short in Bolinas.

Pull on a pair of Nicole Boomer boots to finish of the look of cool young Hollywood.

Luxury for Men from Bogosse

2011-02-10T09:00:00.000-08:00

Bogosse shirts are seriously luxurious.

The fabrics are high quality cotton and the shirts are made in Turkey. Attention to detail at the cuff, collar and in the buttons ups the ante and makes them even more unique. I love the square silver buttons they sometimes use with button holes cut and sewn at a diagonal. They took the time to think about every element of their shirts and make them way above average.

What does Bogosse mean? A handsome man. The perfect fit for a handsome shirt.

A Fresh Look: True Religion

2011-02-09T09:46:00.000-08:00

True Religion's Spring/Summer 2011 ad campaign has arrived, and thanks to Denimology I don't have to wait to leaf through a magazine to discover their fresh look for a much anticipated spring.

We have been getting in some great True Religion recently, some classics and some cool new pieces. For the true True Religion fan there is the Puff Print V Neck Tee with classic logo on the back.

New western style shirts from True Religion in denim, white, black and flannel plaids are staples for any lady with cowgirl tendencies.

But ultimately what we love about the brand is the jeans. Classic, flattering, comfortable with luxurious details they are hard not to love.

Check out the Casey Legging Jean, the Mother of Pearl Billy Jeans or any of the other amazing denim.

Hi Lo : Rouched & Slinky Berry Colored Dresses

2011-02-07T13:00:00.000-08:00

Loving the look of Jil Sander's Gathered Taffeta dress from net-a-porter but not able to swing $2, 095? Miss Me's Rouched Side Dress in Violet is not only $78 but also made of a soft knit fabric which makes wearing it also much more comfortable. Between the fabric and the price, breathing will be much easier!

Sweet, Sexy and Retro: Stop Staring!

2011-02-06T09:00:00.000-08:00

I love the dresses from Stop Staring. They remind of the dresses of the 30s or 40s...some time when women dressed in heels and tailored garments and wore red lipstick and carefully styled their hair to fall in shiny unmoving waves.

Right now our Stop Staring dresses are on sale and with the MINX MADNESS sale they will be an extra 10% off through 2/10/11 with coupon code MAD10.

If you love the little black dress check out the Sexy Slip Dress for $85.50 before the MAD10 discount. Another beautiful, anything but basic black dress is the Coquette in satin. This style is only $119.

2011-02-05T09:00:00.000-08:00

Denimology spotted Hilary Duff out and about in one of our favorite skinny jeans, the J Brand Low Rise Skinny. They are perfect to wear with heels or boots and easy to either dress up or dress down. A great essential basic.

Check out all the J Brand jeans and more at urbanminx.com

Hi Lo: Jimmy Choo and Frye

2011-02-04T11:08:00.001-08:00

The illustrious Jimmy Choo is one of the most desired names in shoes around...and for good reason, the shoes are amazing and sexy and beautiful.

The price is unfortunately, a bit out of my range, so I go in search of lower priced alternatives and was happy to find a much less expensive version of the Leather biker boots from another famous for all the right reasons brand, Frye. The Veronica Slouch Boot is a bit taller but definitely similar in style. Happily Frye boots are also known for their good quality, durability in addition to their amazing styles and good taste.

If you can afford Jimmy Choo, I enviously say go for it! But the Frye boot stands strong on it's own and instead of paying $1,050 you can save yourself quite a lot of cash and have the Veronica boot for only $328.

The beautiful new Aurelie Bidermann gold swan feather necklace and earrings are amazing and lovely, but I am not spending $2,000 plus to own them. Luckily we have our own less expensive (but still fabulous) version from Monserat de Lucca in brass the color of luxurious gold.

The earrings are only $39 and the necklace a mere $43!

A total steal to look fabulous. Beware these items are not for the faint of heart as they can be a bit pointy, but hey, sometimes looking fierce can be worth it! And in this case it is most certainly worth it.

Look your best on Game day!

2011-01-26T09:00:00.000-08:00

This year, football has been pretty intense, so why not have a good looking outfit to show off! Whether you are in the colder weather or where it's warm and sunny, jeans are always key! Anywhere from Rich and Skinny Skinny's to Hudson Boot Cut and you will be set. To wear with whatever jeans you decide on, chose a casual top, like a Sky sweater or a Twisted Heart Jacket preferably in the color or your favorite team you are rooting for.

A Juicy Couture sweat outfit is a good choice for comfort that will never go out of style. This year I plan to have a great time going to a friends house watching the Super Bowl.

Enjoy the rest of the season while it lasts!

Obsessing Over the 70s!

2011-01-24T11:09:00.001-08:00

Flare denim from Hudson Jeans. The 5 pocket Woodstock Flare in Kiln is on my list as an easy basic to add to my wardrobe to transition into spring. They look amazing with the flowing 70s inspired tops, that I cannot wait to get in from Fifteen Twenty and wedges from Nicole.

Lockheart wallets. Well really anything from Lockheart because they are beautifully crafted pieces, but I love my Lockheart wallet! It has a wrist strap so it is easy to grab out of my purse and use as a clutch. It is adorable and functional, and that is a killer combination if you ask me! It holds everything, including a gloss and your phone when you use it as a clutch! The natural colors and eclectic details make them the perfect accessory for my flares and flowing tops.

Monserat De Lucca brass jewelry. This whimsical jewelry collection adds a little personality to any wardrobe. It has a vintage vibe that goes back to my 70s era obsession.

Now all I need is the Farrah Flip and I am will be one happy Minx!

Young Hollywood Loves Frye Boots

2011-01-22T09:00:00.000-08:00

Frye boots are a favorite not only with...well...everyone I know, but with young celebrity stars as well. The new Veronica Slouch we just got in is a big hit with Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale, Emma Stone, Emma Roberts and Leighton Meester. In fact it was hard to find a picture of Miley Cyrus not wearing Frye boots! They are an amazing, quality piece you can wear for years and years looking stylish and feeling comfortable. I adore mine and I am obviously not alone.

Color Blocking

2011-01-20T11:59:00.000-08:00

I've always loved bright colors, but some times can feel out of place in them while everyone else is dressed in camel. Fortunately for me, the spring runways were flooded by electric colors with Orange, Pink, Yellow, and Blue dominating the trend.

Above, from left: Peter Som, Karen Walker, Christopher Kane, Rachel Roy.

Above, from left: Jil Sander, Proenza Schouler, Prabal Gurung, Z Spoke.

The trend can be extremely bold by combining contrasting colors or you can chose a more subtle option by pairing pieces in the same shade (try Pink and Orange or Blue and teal).

If you're fearing this extreme combination try pairing a bright piece with a staple color like navy or neutral or by accessorizing with a bright purse, belt or heals.

In the Press: Tulle

2011-01-20T11:26:00.000-08:00

We adore Tulle jackets and coats. They have lovely styles, pretty linings, modern colors and a good attention to details. The Tulle Ruffle Double Breasted Jacket in Eggplant was spotted in Life & Style magazine under their Style News section "Ladylike." It is a beautiful jacket with sweet ruffled trim and cool bronze buttons. And right now it is 40% off the original price. What's not to love? If Eggplant isn't your color we've also got a more muted Birch version. Check out all the Tulle on sale now at urbanminx.com!

All American Made Fashion

2011-01-16T16:14:00.000-08:00

Being able to buy products made in America is a great feeling, and when I started to really look at the number of designer brands we carry that has their production done in the USA (either all or a percentage of their production) I was impressed. I know it's hard for lines to stay competitive by manufacturing in the USA and so I love it when they are able to. And you don't have to sacrifice fashion either! It's the best of both worlds. Shop our Made in the USA category for just some of the hundreds of products that we carry that are made in America. You can see brands like Bailey 44, 7 For All Mankind, Hudson Jeans, True Religion, Michael Stars and Sky that produce if not all then primarily in the US.

Spring 2011 Trend: Maxi Dress

2011-01-13T09:00:00.000-08:00

Spring 2011 has hemlines skimming the floor in a beautiful, luxurious bohemian style. These Hale Bob new arrivals have a casual beauty and are exquisitely comfortable to wear. These dresses were made and named for Free Spirits, in a neutral and coral version.

For our photo shoot we paired them with brand new Lockheart quality leather bags, clutches and wallets. They're not yet available online but you can order them by contacting customer service at 1.877.322.6469.

Hi Lo: Balenciaga & Tulle

2011-01-12T23:07:00.000-08:00

I have always loved Balenciaga. Amazing, beautiful designs season after season.

Their pre-fall 2011 collection was framed by a floral wallpaper that with some of the floral styles reminded me of the scene from Garden State where Zach Braff stands in front of the bathroom mirror looking at himself in a floral print shirt that matches the wall behind him and nearly disappears.

I love the bright plum purple Balenciaga coat pictured here and was happy to discover that we have a very similar version by Tulle, the Vintage Wool Peacoat in Loganberry which is now on sale for just $55.

Such a great low price to be able to get the Balenciaga look! Shop Tulle and more now at urbanminx.com

Celebrity Style: Heidi Klum in Hale Bob

2011-01-11T13:42:00.000-08:00

Heidi Klum meets both young, up and coming designers as well as well established, highly successful ones through both her modeling and Project Runway. I can only imagine the amount of clothes that are sent to her to wear and that's why I love to see her wearing a brand we minxes love, Hale Bob.

We just got in a fresh spring delivery and the dress she's wearing is a similar style to the Hale Bob Velvet Kimono Sleeve Burnout Dress in Teal. This is a top selling Hale Bob style we sell tons of season after season. In addition to the classics there are new boho luxe maxi dresses in a beautiful neutral and coral and a sweet ruffled "Spring Fling" Dress in Green. The Hale Bob South of the Border Dress is an exquisite bright, fun color in a beautiful style and the One Shoulder Silk Jersey Dress is exotic and sexy.

Celebrity Style: Jessica Simpson in Hudson Jeans

2011-01-10T14:59:00.000-08:00

We are all huge Hudson Jeans fan here at Urban Minx. The Kent 5 Pocket Jean is a great one we're sure to blow out of soon even though it just arrived!

Jess pairs these skinny jeans with a great heeled black boot, warm black coat and leopard print bag which we love.

Get the look with the Irregular Choice Hi Spit Spot Boot in Black and the Twisted Heart Biker Jacket in Black.

We used to have a few amazing Juicy Couture leopard print bags, but not surprisingly they are already gone!

2011 Trend: Pop of Color

2011-01-08T09:00:00.000-08:00

Brighten up the new year with a pop of color.

One of the big trends for 2011 is bright colors (neutrals are another great trend and I love the balance of both depending upon your mood).

Shop reds, greens, blues, yellows, pinks and more and instantly feel yourself lighten up and smile. Wearing bright colors is a great way to bare through the remaining winter months while waiting for spring.

2011 Trend Spotting: Oxfords

2011-01-07T14:06:00.000-08:00

Last fall I fell in love with the oxford trend but wasn't sure if it was just a crush that would pass and I would be left with a pair of shoes I never wore....since then my love of oxfords has only grown and I am kicking myself for not procuring a pair for myself already. Now I am on the hunt and luckily we just received some new Nicole oxfords in.

Celebrities definitely adore their oxfords and it's interesting to see the different ways they choose to wear them. Of course Katy Perry takes hers up a notch by being bright blue, but I love the simple and elegant way Katie Holmes wears both her black pair (with leggings) and tan pair (with rolled up boyfriend jeans). Blake Lively's version of the oxford is uptown while Rosario Dawson's is definitely downtown. Both look fabulous. Sienna Miller provides the London oxford look while Whitney Port gives the style a youthful, fun punch.

Check out Nicole oxfords, both the Kindle style and the Eager Oxford. Shop them now at Urban Minx!

Spotted: Fifteen Twenty on Top Chef

2011-01-03T13:00:00.000-08:00

Top Chef is definitely up there as one of my favorite shows and Padma Lakshmi is a part of that. I love seeing what she's wearing almost as much as I love seeing what they're going to make (and wishing I could eat some of it). On the Making Concessions episode she wore a beautiful Fifteen Twenty piece, the Smocked Ruffle Top in White. It was probably better that she wore this for the judging portion of the episode because wearing white silk while eating is quite a delicate matter. There is also a Lime version of this top, which is bright and amazing and I bet would look amazing on Padma. Another beautiful Fifteen Twenty top, the Cascade Top in Orchid, is a sleeveless button down version. The Orchid color is truly exquisite.

Celebrity Style : Nicole Richie

2011-01-01T09:00:00.000-08:00

We are absolutely in love with the new Hudson Jeans Kasidy Flip Pocket Jean Jacket! Such a cute cut and the pocket detail is the classic Hudson back pocket flap. Nicole Richie wears it here with great style with black tights and floral print skirt.

Pair it with the Linea Pelle Dylan Medium Tote Bag in Black like Nicole did for a classic chic look.

Spotted: butter London on the Today Show

2010-12-23T09:00:00.000-08:00

Kathie Lee Gifford of the Today Show mentioned butter London's Yummy Mummy as one of her favorite things.

She may have called it Yummy Rummy at first, but is totally right about how cool this nail lacquer is. The butter London colors are totally modern and beautiful and I honestly can't pick which color with a hilarious name I love best.

We sold out of Yummy Mummy for the moment but we still have beautiful colors like Royal Navy, Tea with the Queen, Fash Pack and Chimney Sweep.

Watch the video on butter London's facebook page. Shop butter London at urbanminx.com!

Celebrity Style: Naomi Watts in J Brand Jeans

2010-12-22T12:10:00.000-08:00

I adore Naomi Watts. She is the epitome of subtle chic, and has a nonchalant coolness and beauty that is just awesome.

I love her military inspired look paired with J Brand legging jeans (aka the jegging) which look like the J Brand Low Rise Jeans in Starless paired with a white burnout top and lightweight jacket. Great to pair with the Juicy Couture Military Cap.

I can't wait until it's warm enough that I can get this look!

Must Have Layering Piece

2010-12-08T12:59:00.000-08:00

Vests are one of my favorite completer pieces. They add dimension to any season's wardrobe. Just add one of these little numbers and you're outfit will gain some real style points.

Wear them open, buttoned, Belted, dressed up, dressed down, over a dress, with shorts, trousers, or denim. The combinations are endless!

One of the hottest trends this season is fur, so why wouldn't it be on this great staple as well?

Take it from these celebs, these pieces are a must have for now and the warmer months ahead!

2010-12-07T12:22:00.000-08:00

It's the time to start thinking of ways to show the people you care about how much they mean to you! Here are a few gift ideas to make it a bit easier. I know it can be a bit of a daunting task. A good starting point is to find out if you don't already know what they are interested in. Do they love butterflies? Are they a David Bowie or Beatles fan? If they're a Legend in London and a Hollywood Bigshot you can't not get them E.Vil's Legend Tee. Do they wear animal print on a regular basis? A great gift for a hip, modern woman who follows trends is a military inspired item.

Want to give a gift that says I love you or something more romantic with a touch of lace? Or you can show them you care and want to keep them warm and cozy with a coat, scarf or hat. However you decide to do it, don't forget to let the people in your life know you care about them!
