@Swapdom_com Revamps Your Wardrobe…The EASY Way!
I love thrifting. There’s nothing better than finding treasure in a thrift shop. I started thrifting when I was in college (we call it “op shopping” in Australia) and haven’t stopped. So it’s with no surprise that I’m excited about the brand new fashion site, Swapdom.
Swapdom is a new way of finding one-of-a-kind like-new items online and swapping them with other users. But Swapdom takes all the effort out of the swapping business since they organize the whole thing, so you get whatever you want in exchange for those boots or glam winter gloves you hardly ever wear.
Registering is absolutely free and all you pay are the shipping charges and a teeny service fee (which never amounts to more than $2!).
Here’s a few snaps of what’s on offer to swap right now:
What a great way to revamp your closet while getting rid of the stuff you haven’t worn for years!
Go to Swapdom.com right now to get started–you can have a new outfit for the holidays in no time!

The City Girl Shoes @NayaShoes
Naya is a line of shoes created for women who want beautiful, comfortable shoes perfect for the CITY. I recently tried leather shoes from Naya called “Valerie” and I have nothing but amazing things to say. Naya’s styles are made with soft, hand-finished leathers, rich colors and a patented comfort system. Wherever possible, Naya uses materials that leave a softer footprint on the Earth.
They are available in NYC at Lord & Taylor stores and at Nordstrom.
The Valerie is a leather suede bootie with a round toe and chunky heel. It has micro studs in the back. When the shoes arrived in the bright green box and separate shoe bags and a shoe form, I knew I was in for a treat. The heels are not too heavy but substantial for city sidewalks. The round toe is fashionable, fun and good for all day walking. I matched these shoes with an asymmetric jersey high slit dress but it can go really cute with drop crotch pants and light denim of some sort.
The Valerie bootie is for cities girls like and I will wear them all the time before the snow hits the ground!

Holidays Are Upon Us — @chloeandisabel Have the Shiny Stocking Stuffers You Need!
Chloe + Isabel is one of my favorite accessories lines because not only do they create pieces that inspire (and everyone wants!), but they’ve set up a wonderful merchandizing platform that allows gals to work towards their goals, one piece of jewelry at a time. Gals who sign up to become Chloe + Isabel merchandisers make 30% commission on personal sales, can earn unlimited free jewelry, shop the collection for themselves at 30 – 50% off, and even create their own personalized boutiques. It’s a fab way to kickstart your career!
Last week I was lucky enough to visit Chloe + Isabel’s Spring 2014 Jewelry Collection in their showroom in downtown Manhattan. And if there’s one word to describe this new line from Chloe + Isabel, it has to be “amazing.” These new pieces are inspired by many elements and feature everything from vintage designs and marine-inspired colors to bold metals and flashy stones.
Here’s a few pics of the Spring collection:
Estate Vintage Collection: Necklace ($128) — wear this necklace as a dazzling layered piece or clip off the other two strands for a more simple look.
Spiraling Waves Collection (my fave!): Necklace ($168) — How can you resist a piece like this? Incredible colors that come together with vintage-inspired embellishments.
Metals Collection: Necklace ($148) — This one is completely customizable and allows you to wear it in so many different ways!
Coral Reef Collection: Necklace ($78)
Under the Sea Collection: Earrings ($58); Pendant necklace ($68); Bracelet ($48 – $58); Ornate necklace ($148)
Chloe + Isabel also had great holiday gift ideas:
Inspired by the whimsical Egyptian revival jewelry popular in the 1920s! Owl in Flight statement necklace ($98); Earrings ($38)
Bring on the drama! Pearl + Crystal Fringe Collar Necklace ($68); Pearl + Crystal Spike Long Necklace (it’s also reversible!) ($78); Tiered Crystal Fringe Earrings ($68); Pave Circle Pendant Necklace (far right) ($42)
And I went home with these little cuties — Chloe + Isabel’s “Be Mine” sterling mismatched studs ($35). I love them!
Check out Chloe + Isabel at ChloeandIsabel.com to pack those holiday stockings full of shiny goodies! You’ll find something for each family member or friend, with pieces ranging from $18 – $200 to fit any budget! Here’s their Holiday Look Book.

Delicious Snacking: @PomWonderful
It’s Pomegranate season! POM Arils are in season from October – February so make sure you pick some up at your grocery store. Even with all the Youtube videos on how to remove Pomegranates easily, it is still not easy as to pick up a cup of Pom Poms! You can eat these or make them into a smoothie like I did along with a banana! The cups are resealable for easy snacking and can double as a cute hat for your dog 🙂
POM POMs Fresh Arils are available at grocery stores in the fresh fruit department
