When her son was born, celeb stylist Jennifer Fisher looked high & low for some unique new jewelry to represent her family & her life...and came up empty-handed. Not only was there no jewelry with Shane's name on it, but everything seemed mass produced, generic, and seen just about everywhere. So she decided to D-I-Y. "I wanted to create jewelry that signified my own personal style, and incorporated all the things I love," she notes. When requests flooded in from family & friends wanting their own, Jennifer Fisher NYC was born.
All the pieces can be stamped with names and initials, and brown & white diamonds can be added. Most everything is also available in a variety of sizes and white, yellow and rose gold. Available at JenniferFisherNYC.com.
Handcrafted necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings & brooches - inspired by the sky & sea, along with creatures both real & imagined. Available at SpaceMermaid.com.

With the arrival of November, darkness sets in early and the brisk, balmy nights of fall are but a memory. Instead of succumbing to gloom and doom, spread some joy. A classy way is by penning an old-fashioned handwritten(!) note. Yes, email cards are quick and easy, but
imagine how nice it would be to unlock your mail box and instead of a
stack of bills and flyers, discover a friendly message on gorgeous
stationary. Another way to beat the blues is, of course, by indulging. Even if your budget doesn't currently permit a full-scale shopping extravaganza, window shopping - both online and on foot - can be just as pleasurable. Why not round up all those holiday catalogs overflowing from your mailbox, snuggle up in your fave chair with a glass of wine, and treat yourself to an evening of ogling all the fabulous gadgets, gifts and goodies? For sheer shock-and-awe, nothing beats the famous (infamous?) extravagance of the Neiman Marcus holiday catalogue.
Of course the holiday season also means parties & get-togethers. Rather than drop tons of cash on outfits you might wear only once or twice, look to the better-dressed celebs (with the A-list stylists at their disposal) and steal ideas for accessories, makeup & shoes that give any outfit a festive touch without putting an unfestive dent in your bank account. (Scarlett Johansson is frequently an A+ for these purposes.)
And don't forget to treat yourself to a yummy new fragrance...you deserve it!
Great holiday shopping recommendations from some of the Glam Network's best blogs:
Get in the holiday spirit with the ultimate fun book, the incredible Neiman Marcus holiday catalog. From diamonds to $40K tandem bikes to $1.75 million trips into space, this is the place to find everything over-the-top. As She Finds notes: "Yes, Virginia, such unbelievable gifts really do exist."
For timeless glamour girl style that's red carpet- & party-ready, Catwalk Queen picks Scarlett Johansson as the starlet to emulate.
The season's makeup is "done" - easily accomplished with the finely milled pressed powder tucked into this gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent Opium compact recommended by Beauty Addict.
Ever since the Three Wise Men set out on their lengthy journey some two millenia ago, gifts of frankincense, myrrh, and gold have never gone out of style. Why not celebrate with some gold-encased Billet Doux (Love Letter) from Fragonard? According to The Scented Salamander, this is a re-launch of an original fragrance from the 50s, and inspired by a painting by Jean-Honore Fragonard (after whom the house was named).
Say "Happy Holidays" or "Thanks" with some stylish stationary - made from real, live paper thankyou - recommended by Oh Joy!

Armani sent impeccably elegant looks down the Fall 2006 couture runway. While not exactly inexpensive to replicate a look that all but shouts "money-money-money", the basic elements are do'able on a more moderate pricetag: the toned down old-money palette of gray, silver & ivory; satin slim skirt; smartly cut 40s inspired grey suit jacket; tone-on-tone accessoires; a jaunty cocktail hat - and topped off with an over-the-top faux fur coat that would be fun to rock with almost anything else in your closet as well.
Some great options for capturing the elegant, monied feeling of Armani Prive Couture:
