The first thing I grab when it's molto frio outside is gloves.

The first thing I grab when it's molto frio outside is gloves. I have learned that if my hands are cold I'm doomed. Also, for those lucky peeps out there not in sub-zero temperatures cashmere gloves provide a little extra warmth when you need it. Cashmere fans check out my earlier It's a Cashmerical! posts. Enjoy my finds below:

FYI: we have our office party tomorrow night so this Fab Finding Follow Up should inspire me for tonight when I'm sifting through my closet! I had found some fabulous Stella McCartney Ribbed Fabric Platform Pumps that are $565.

Let's see what you gals came up with! And remember (I need to remember too!): the most important thing is to not let down your professional guard; though it is a party, it is your work, and the last thing you want is to be known as the office lush. But nevertheless - have fun! To see all the finds click here. To learn about our bookmarks click here.

Chanel

Twinke Twinkle Little Eye

Sparkling, silvery, metallic eye shadows are omnipresent this holiday season.

Sparkling, silvery, metallic eye shadows are omnipresent this holiday season. Use them to create a smokey eye, all over your lids or even wet them to use them as eyeliners. Here are three new shades of glittery greys making their grand debuts:


Chanel Soft Touch Eye Shadow in Starlight, $26.50, is a new color from the current holiday collection. This shadow, is a soft, ultra-fine powder that goes on smooth and won't cake throughout the day. Apply it lightly for a hint of shimmer, or layer color to create deeper contouring in the crease.


Shu Uemura Pressed Eye Shadow in Me Silver 945, $19, is a super fine pressed powder that has a hint of glitter and appears just a touch lighter than black. I am a big fan of this color! You can also use it wet or dry for lining effects.

For one last silvery shadow, read more

A Beauty of Roses

Call me old-fashioned but the classic, distinct scent of the rose is one of my favorites.

Call me old-fashioned but the classic, distinct scent of the rose is one of my favorites. The rose flower is also one of my all time favorites to receive. As well, Guns n' Roses is one of my favorite bands. OK, you get the point. Luckily, this scent is no longer reserved for Glam-Ma (no offense) and there are fresh, modern rose scented beauty products available today. Known for its tonic and deodorant properties, it also has skin soothing, and aroma therapeutic, i.e relaxing, benefits. Rose extract also aids in exfoliating. Here are some of my favorites:

Jaqua Rose in Bloom Body Beauty Butter, $24. Super rich for moisturizing winter skin, this wonderful garden rose beauty butter contains Rose Hip Extract, Cocoa Butter and Mango Butter.


Avon Floral Prints Sheer Rose Shower Gel, on sale for $4.99. There is nothing like being showered with roses.

Rachel Pally Halter Jumpsuit: Love It or Hate It?

Hello disco! While I usually enjoy Rachel Pally's designs, and I love the sleek look of a jumpsuit - it can be so Studio 54 chic - there is something off about this Rachel Pally Halter Jumpsuit, $198.

Hello disco! While I usually enjoy Rachel Pally's designs, and I love the sleek look of a jumpsuit - it can be so Studio 54 chic - there is something off about this Rachel Pally Halter Jumpsuit, $198. All this model needs is an afro and a big peace sign necklace and she could have stepped out of a Sly and The Family Stone concert. What do you think? Love or hate?

Don't forget you can add your own Loves and Hates to the
Love It or Hate It? group. If you want to learn how to do a blog post click here. Don't forget to headline it with 'Love' or 'Hate.' I can't wait to see your picks and I plan to feature my faves on Fab so get posting!
