Travel

Freshen Up Your Flight

Thanksgiving will soon be upon us, which means it's time to prepare for lots of frantic travel.

Thanksgiving will soon be upon us, which means it's time to prepare for lots of frantic travel. If you've got some long flights lined up for the upcoming holiday season, why not turn your travel time into an excuse to pamper yourself?

I love the idea behind this Fresh In-Flight Kit, available for $130 here. This clean-looking white case comes with cleansing towelettes and a hydrating mask to freshen you up during your flight and fend off the drying effects of recycled air. There's also a bottle of green coffee serum, which you apply to your face for a pick-me-up when you deplane. Anyone who has ever taken a red-eye flight can definitely understand the appeal of this product, and it would make a great gift for all of the jetsetters on your list.

Look of the Day

Look of the Day: Lunch with the Kids

Just because you're dealing with little kids doesn't mean you should be discouraged from looking cute.


Just because you're dealing with little kids doesn't mean you should be discouraged from looking cute. In fact, I'm inspired by this look that ShoeS donned to take her kids to lunch, because it would look just as cute for a brunch with the BFFs. For that reason, her canary-yellow top and capris ensemble is today's TeamSugar Look Book Look of the Day. (To learn how to upload your own looks, click here.) Here's what she put together.

Fab Finding

Come Fab Finding With Me: Cold-Weather Clubbing

Tonight I've planned a big night out with the girls, and naturally, I'm still debating what to wear.

Tonight I've planned a big night out with the girls, and naturally, I'm still debating what to wear. As Paris and Nicole have demonstrated, it's easier to dress for a night of dancing when the weather is warm. But when it gets chilly, I'm not as keen to throw on my favorite skimpy party top. Instead, I could see myself putting together a great party outfit around this Bebe Crochet Cowl Neck Sweaters, available for $98 here. The metallic thread gives this top a nightclub-appropriate look, but you wouldn't freeze to death while wearing it.

So let's all go Fab Finding for dancefloor-friendly shoes, a bag, some type of bottoms, and maybe even a cute going-out coat. Be sure to come back and tell us that your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with the word "Clubbing." To learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one, click here.

Designer Spotlight

Jewelry Designer Spotlight: Yossi Harari

I was first drawn to jewelry designer Yossi Harari when I came across one of his bold and exotic gold rings.

I was first drawn to jewelry designer Yossi Harari when I came across one of his bold and exotic gold rings. (As you know, I am really loving this big, bold rings trend.) Made from 24-karat gold, these pieces have a well-traveled and almost ancient feel, with hammered flat metals and the occasional diamond or colorful gemstone. The rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings definitely nod to Harari's upbringing in Israel and Turkey, but at the same time, his jewelry is elegant and classic. Here are some of my favorite finds.

Sara 24K Gold Ring, $4,315, available here.

Butterfly Vine Bracelet, $3,980, available here

24K Gold Outer Space Chain Necklace, $5,975, available here.

Handbags

Hot Metallic Resort Handbags

The ship has sailed on 2007 Resort wear and accessories, and it looks like metallics are on board once again.

The ship has sailed on 2007 Resort wear and accessories, and it looks like metallics are on board once again. But these handsome new handbags aren't just at home on holiday; the bronze, golds, and other rich tones are sure to make a glittering statement this holiday season. Here are some of my favorite new bags.

The Gucci Peggy Large Shoulder Bag is made from copper python with copper leather trim. The roomy style has an exquisite tassel detail as well as a sturdy braided double shoulder strap. Buy it here for $2,990.

This Fendi Canvas/Metallic B Bag is made from canvas and calfskin with bold metallic accents and top-stitching. The brass logo is chic and understated, and the chain accent add a chic edge. Buy it here for $1,000.

Fendi

Fendi Silk Blouse With Belt: Love It or Hate It?

Celebrities love the bold Fendi B Belt and its corresponding purse, so perhaps it is for that reason that the designer has chosen to built its signature B-buckle belt right into a shirt.

Celebrities love the bold Fendi B Belt and its corresponding purse, so perhaps it is for that reason that the designer has chosen to built its signature B-buckle belt right into a shirt. This Fendi Puffy-Sleeve Silk Blouse with Patent Leather Belt is nothing if not playful, with a white cotton collar set off from the ruby-red silk front. Then, right at the pleated, voluminous waist comes a built-in belt made from white patent leather with Fendi's signature B buckle. Playful, yes, but it also calls to mind Popeye's girlfriend Olive Oyl just a little bit too much. What do you guys think? Love it or hate it? You can score the top for a cool $1,220 here.
