Eye on the Sparrow

Cheaper and easier to install than wall paper, wall decals are the latest home decor rage. A sophisticated accent for any room, brighten up a bedroom or living room with a contrasting wall color as shown. Easy to apply and remove, it's an excellent option for fashionable apartment dwellers. ($130)

Cuff Me

Shine like Fort Knox with 4-5 of these 18k gold plated geometric cuff bracelets stacked on your wrists from Kenneth Jay Lane. The hinge makes for easy on and off, wear them over long sleeves for a bewitching look. ($100)

Off Key

Set yourself up with a sexy-from-the-back mock turtleneck long sleeve graphic print dress with dramatic keyhole back. Show off one of your best and most neglected assets with a sexy, yet modestly revealing dress. Great paired with a fitted jacket for a daytime professional look, loose the jacket and pair with sky-high stilettos and an updo for evening. ($184)

Short Sack

Celebrity brand favorite, Grey Ant, is loved for unique yet easy and layerable garments. I'm diggin this versatile keyhole sack dress, worn plainly with flesh-tone fishnets and spectator lace-up booties or cinched with a black patent leather Fendi belt and matching black patent pumps with opaque aubergine tights. ($286)

Back to Basics

After nearly loosing several full-sized Jurlique skin products going through the airport's security checkpoint, I've learned to travel with travel-sized products in order to get under that 4oz. rule. It would be wise to take advantage of the current holiday sales and stock up on great luxury products in mini sizes like this Borghese luxury pampering set complete with cleanser, tonic, mud, moisturizer, sunblock, eyecream and nightcream... the basics. ($50)

Well Red

Add a bit of flavor to your coat closet with this striking red wool coat. From the turned down collar, to the flared sleeves with tie-detail, this lady-like coat reminds me of a Doris Day film. Sweet, demure, fashionable and all-American — I believe the coat, like dresses and skirts, could even inspire men to be more chivalrous. ($398)

Billie Jean

If you're going for a sexy yet casual look then a pair of True Religion jeans is what you need. The low horseshoe design on the back flap will enhance your derrière, and the twisted seams add interest to the boot cut hem. Pair with Adidas shell toe sneakers and a clever tee shirt for the big game, or spiked heels and a slinky metallic top for a night on the town. ($240)

Sunday Muddy Sunday

Ain't nuthin' better than Kentucky mud for facial masques — at least not in my medicine cabinet. The Masque de Glaise is a truly amazing product that literally draws out impurities deep within your pores without that yucky dry feeling. I've even dotted it on blemishes before bed and woken up sans bump. The price tag may be a bit hefty for mud, but aren't you worth it? ($145)

Hot Spot

If you've been afraid to try animal prints, try beginning with a cute accessory like this leopard spot clutch bag from Marmalade. You won't be able to fit much in it, but it will make a boring black dress a bit more cheery. For the daring gal, pair with bright colors like pink or lime pumps so you're not overly matchy. (£55/$110)

Net Worth

How do you wear a dramatic hat without screwing up your hairstyle? Get a fascinator hat, ideal for special occasions like weddings, funerals, and every formal event between the two. Popular in Europe, I'm quite sure you've seen them on the heads of British royals or as famously worn by the late Isabella Blow. Accessorize with red lipstick, arched brows, and the smokiest come hither look you can muster. (£50/$99)

Zebra Crossing

Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B line is one of the best amongst the plethora of celebrity fashion lines. Which is what you would expect from someone who styles herself so well because this coat is fierce! Only the bold and fabulous need purchase this double-breasted zebra print coat. Animal prints will never loose favor in my book and this original print is a new classic. Pull a Gwen and pair with matching fire engine red lipstick, gloves, and platform pumps. Flossy, flossy! ($685)

The Butterfly Effect

Straight from Mariah Carey's closet is this cuters orange butterfly top. Perfect for clubbing, throw it on over a pair of tight jeans or miniskirt and sky high pumps for Mimi's look. Comes complete with it's own gold tone butterfly brooch which hopefully is detachable. I've been trying to integrate more colors into my bland wardrobe, and burnt orange should do the trick. Designed for the ladies who love to stand out in a crowd. ($126)

Bear Necessities

The softest most cuddly luxury teddy bear in existence is handcrafted by the native people of Peru. Found high in the Andes Mountains, the Alpaca is a type of llama, which grows some of the most coveted natural fibers in the world. Makes perfect sense that it would be made into a classic toy, fun for both children and adults. Sure to attain the status of "Most Favored Teddy bear," this is the toy that will never be forsaken. You'll also be happy to know that the animals are not killed for their fur and part of your purchase goes toward their upkeep. Win win! ($48)

Time Traveler

After having luggage lost or damaged one too many times, the best course of action is to travel with carry-on's only. This rolling tote meets all of the airports requirements as well as mine, and it should, flight attendants designed it! Fashionable and functional, it fits in the overhead compartment as well as under the seat. So instead of waiting around the conveyor belt with the schmoes, you'll be rolling out in style. ($150)

Slytherin

Cuff bracelets rock! I like them because they stay in place on your wrist. Some like the jangly noises associated with multiple bangle bracelets, I do not. Cuffs are classic throughout the history of bracelets, and snake emblems were very popular in ancient Rome. This sexy black enamel bracelet from Kenneth Jay Lane features a crystal studded snake. I'll take two please. ($276)

Muffin Top

Keep your ears toasty with stylish cashmere earmuffs. Ribbed like your favorite sweater, Swarovski crystal snowflakes decorate each muff for a bit of winter sparkle. Not enough bling to signal a plane, but a lovely substitute for the earrings hidden under the muffs. Makes for a lovely winter gift. Cop one! ($65)

Top Five: Forever 21

My fantasy shopping spree only set me back $845 and my favorite "purchase" is this green Scottish plaid trench coat with three-quarter link buckle sleeves. How cute is this? Pair with elbow-length gloves a pom-pom tam and knee-length shiny flat boots for Burberry-esqe appeal. ($43)
2. Sleeveless ruffled bib top, $20
3. Tweed spaghetti strap dress, $25
4. Cowl neck sweater tunic, $23
5. Black derby belted wool jacket $33

Gold Rush

Show off your curves in this shoulder baring strapless ruched dress with a sweetheart neckline. Push that little black dress to the back of the closet and make room for color! Bright marigold is a lovely compliment to darker skin tones, so don't be afraid to move out of your comfort zone. Don't downplay the accessories with this dress, pumps or strappy sandals in white, silver, red or even purple. Yep, I said purple. ($264)

Marlene Dietrich

She once said, "I dress for myself. Not for the image, not for the public, not for the fashion, not for men." Whether in a silk chiffon robe or top hat and tails, The Dietrich remains a fashion trendsetter. She invented re-invention long before Madonna and lived her life the way she pleased with maximum visual impact.

Come Hither

Marlene Dietrich best personifies vintage Hollywood glamour, which is why British designer Madame V named her silk chiffon robe after the icon. Trimmed completely in marabou feathers, strike a pose because you'll look like a classic film starlet. The luxurious and sophisticated confection arrives in its own storage container — a signature Madame V logo hatbox. (£600/$1184)

Purple Passion

Purple isn't just the color between blue and red, it's also the color of wealth and good judgement. You'll need both in order to get your hands on a Chloé patent lambskin hobo. The classic shape in this smaller size is accentuated with brass hardware and oversized zipper pulls. Bold and tangy, this bag will get noticed. ($1,760)

Soul Mat

Just when I thought luxe couldn't go any further, I stumble across this silk yoga mat. So much lovelier than the stinky foam thingee I currently use, lavender is sewn into the lining for a soft scent, making downward dog an uplifting experience. The opposite side is faux leather, keeping your mat firmly in one place, and paisley ribbon serves as the handle. Lovey! (£125/$247)
