Cozy Button Scarves. Stay warm, stay cool.

button scarves

Can you feel that chill in the air? It’s time for scarves. I’m partial to these button scarves. They’re chic and stylish while totally functional!!! It’s a miracle to find form and function all in one. I own this Mike & Chris one from a few years ago. I feel like I discovered them. I know that’s not true but let me feel clever for a nano second. Now they’re all over. I saw them in Vogue and Shopbop (here’s what their own site says about them). They’re a couple you know. Cute. Anyway the other two brands featured are made by hand. So if you took the handmade pledge this year you’re in luck! Stay warm.

Gift Guide Compilation: The everybody, The Alexis Bittar fan, and The Bad-ass Girl’s gift guides

More gifts!
More gift guides (I’m insane). The Alexis Bittar sample sale is today through Sunday. Robyn went and got loads of goodies. I made it there this afternoon and got a few items as well.

Image 1 is a broad recap (if you need to be reminded where to get the goods click here or scroll down). Image 2 covers my favorite Alexis Bittar goodies, though I’m sure you can find your own favorites on his site, at his sample sale, or in his shop.

In image 3, I present you with a little twinge of bad-ass. For the boy whose girlfriend prefers black to pink and the girl who prefers Dita Von Teese to Britney Spears, some bad-ass jewelry (some Alexis Bittar snuck into this one too). If you want to see some other jewelry posts click here, here, here and here, :

Alexis Bittar: Onyx Skull Necklace and ring, pearl skull necklace and ring

Men’s graphic T-shirts (Great gifts)

men's graphic tees

I love t-shirts. My husband is always wearing them so I say go for an artful graphic look instead of just plain solids or stripes. I’m a big fan of Poketo and Chocosho, I’ve posted about some of their other items in the past. Both are just splendid places to get some great gear and other aesthetically pleasing items online. I’m still in love with these unique t-shirts as well.

A Maquette reader/blogger AdamX told me about another gift for men. It’s possibly the funniest and most practical I’ve ever seen. Prepare to smile…heartily.

Onyx: sultry slick

onyx jewelry

I rarely wear black when it comes to clothing, save my puffy winter coat. It just does not do much for my fair skin. When it comes to jewelry I tend toward greens and yellows and even pinks, but I’m loving these graphic onyx pieces. They’re shiny and bold, dare I say bad-ass? The Alexis Bittar one is a real gem (no pun intended).
1. R Jewellery at Erie Basin
2. Alexis Bittar (my favorite of the lot)
3. Miguel Ases Collection at Fragments

All under $300, good gifts for a special someone or yourself if you are feeling bold and daring.

Here’s more cool black stuff from Trust your Style. Hope MJM finds her kitty.

Tomorrow I have a male centric post! So stay tuned. Next week I start work on my gift guide with great finds for reasonable prices from hot shops like Poketo, Shiny Squirrel, Uppercase…and more.
