Jesus, Is That You? Holiday Gift Giving 4 Commoners

The Air

THIS, is what being festive looks like. NIPS and Lights. 

How Could Anyone Say No to This ?

It’s almost surreal how quickly the holiDAZE go from Thanksgiving to Christmas, from stuffing our faces to now needing to scramble and find gifts for everyone you like, and some people you don’t’. Over this last holiday weekend, I was watching Saturday Night Live, and Chris Rock made it all very clear. It is a bit, well, selfish, making Jesus’s birthday a gift giving occasion for us commoners, for those of us who are not Jesus, so, EVERYONE. For all of you who know me, and for those of you who don’t, I am spiritual, not religious, (queue snickering or general bullshit- o- meter), but seriously churches scare me, and I don’t like cults. I like to think of myself as a powerful being full of energy and light, and I pray about that sometimes, (either that or its exact bumper sticker we had on the Subaru growing up, that we found at the local health food store where we went to buy granola and other hippie essentials ;0). We have since graduated to British engineering, (thank god), but the mint green Subaru holds a special place in my soul maybe even as a messiah.  So looking into this Christmas to come, let’s talk gifts.

I wore Nasty Gal Dress, Nike Air Max, Chanel Bucket Bag, D2 Hat, 

As I sat in a nail salon somewhere on Mott St. after the Mulberry + Cara party tonight in Soho, I was thinking how funny of a time in life this really is. "Everybody that was anybody," was at the party crowded around a small table in the back of the store, hammering their initials into multi colored DIY leather bracelets. My moon symbol ended up looking more like all the phases of the moon, and my C.M. initials were upside-down, but it was a cute party favor in the end. When people ask me if I consider myself and "socialite," I like to clarify and say I'm a girl, that's social, and hope I can spread some sort of light and levity to the fashion scene. I don't take any of this to seriously, and think the best part of fashion week is playing dress, up and being inspired by others amazing style and talent.

My two nail polishes sat side by side on the manicure desk, black or pink- glitter-sparkle, & for the sake of my message, and less about matching my outfit, I picked the glitter sparkle ;) Take it easy, laugh at yourself, and put on some glitter polish on like this deborah lippmann shade I choose in Flash Dance xxxC
