I absolutely adore my Benevolent Jewels Tortoise Cluster Necklace. Because of its tortoiseshell base, it can be paired with traditional office attire AND bold day-to-night looks. I've worn mine with everything this month and have received tons of compliments every time. It's such a statement piece that exudes white hot winter glam!

The Tortoise Cluster Necklace is normally $40.50. However, this weekend you can get this necklace or any other fabulous item from Benevolent Jewels at 40% OFF!! That makes this gorgeous necklace just $24.30! Just use the code SHOPSMALL. You'll also receive: FREE earrings with every order, FREE blossom necklace with an order of $85+, and a FREE $15 gift certificate with an order of $100+.

Getting Holiday Happy at Harrods!

To piggy-back on the last post, Harrods is another must-see shopping landmark in London AND they sure know how to do Christmas right! Not only do they feature there own brand with a dazzling array of literally thousands of products - but they also host several hundred mini brand boutiques within their store! I loved browsing through the holiday items by British faves like Charbonnel et Walker, Prestat, Cath Kidston, and more. Have you been to Harrods? What did you just HAVE to bring home?

There was a HUGE selection of Charbonnel et Walker chocolates including Christmas crackers filled with truffles and luxe advent calendars.

Prestat is already available in the US at places like Fairway, but I had never seen such a giant collection of their products before. There were so many beautifully packaged chocolates.

So, it's not everyone's cup of tea...but I love both licorice and earl grey! This Twinings bauble definitely won my heart.

The EPIC food hall at Harrods - completely devoted to Christmas!

The ideal Christmas gifts: Laduree books

This is my favorite new design for the Harrods classic tote.

I saw this bag and fell in love. So practical for day out or at work. The Harrods own brand has a whole line of new designs that look really classy and are very reasonably priced.

The third Harrods commemorative collection for Prince George - and in my opinion the prettiest collection!

Love snakeskin prints!

Greetings from Regent Street, London!

Sorry for the delayed posts lately. Your faithful blogger has been traveling in the UK. Today, I checked out the huge Christmas shopping, music (think Leona Lewis, Mel C, & Emma Bunton), fireworks, and lights festival on Regent Street. One of the featured stores tonight was Liberty of London, which unveiled its holiday windows in a dazzling display. Liberty is such a historic store - not only for its own iconic prints but also for discovering hot emerging designers. Check out some of my pictures of all of this holiday season's latest trends from across the pond!

One of Liberty's star-filled holiday windows

Who doesn't love sweets and a hand-made card with Liberty fabric?

Holiday lights inside the store!

A hit brand on both sides of the pond, Rifle Paper Co!

Natural history themed glass catch-alls and decorative plates

So in love with this William Morris print adapted by Liberty! I have a shirt in the same print from a few seasons back at Lord & Taylor.

It looks like Liberty just launched a new bath & body line - so cute!

Emma Bridgewater for Liberty

Cool anthropomorphized animal painted trays

Animal head egg holders - I have a soft spot for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels ;)

So classic- a Liberty original print silk scarf

Discovered this new jewelry designer, Lily Kamper - love her work!

Some of my all-time fave Tory Burch items have just gone on sale at her website! You can now enjoy up to 30% OFF a large variety of apparel, shoes, bags, and jewelry. The Scarab pattern in particular is so darling!

You may remember my review from the Rebecca Minkoff Sample Sale this past May (click HERE). I was a little disappointed with the prices and the long wait to enter. However, a big part of my disappointment was because I didn't purchase the Gilt City deal the last time around.

Gilt City is offering VIP Access (i.e. skip the regular line - which can be 2 hours or more!) and $50 OFF your purchase of $50+ at the sale. All this is yours for just $25! Purchase your VIP Access from Gilt City HERE. I guarantee you these will sell out, so be quick!
