LA MER-RY CHRISTMAS

Apparently Thanksgiving is next week, which means Christmas is around the corner. Which means it's time for the dreadful gift shopping to begin. I have no problems shopping for myself, or helping others shop for themselves. But there is so much pressure that comes with buying gifts for others. It takes away from all the fun. Instead of enjoying the aroma that intoxicates you the moment you step foot in Bloomingdale's, you feel overwhelmed when you are shopping for someone other than yourself. Instead of being inspired by the amazing holiday decor at Nordstrom, you feel hopeless while riding the escalators, searching for the "perfect" gifts. So, being the thoughtful person that I am,  I've decided to help you all out. Each week I will be posting all the gifts I would LOVE to receive for any holiday or any random day. Some will be extravagant and some will be less extravagant, all will make you grateful you have BMCSTYLE in your lives! (You can email me directly for the address to send "Thank You" gifts to).

My first nifty gifty suggestion are La Mer watches. You can basically design the watch you want for the lucky girl you want to wear it. The face, the band, the charm, it's all up to you! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these watches and they are totally affordable. When your girl opens this up, not only will she think you are incredibly thoughtful and creative, she will also want to spend a little more TIME snuggling up to you! Here are some of my favorites....

FALL FAVS FOR THE FELLAS

Fall is definitely my favorite season for fashion. While I enjoy dressing myself in boots, leggings, and cozy sweaters, nothing warms me up more than dressing a man in fall gear. I LOVE a v-neck t-shirt underneath a cardigan sweater, paired with dark straight leg denim. I'm also a sucker for a button up peeking through a v-neck sweater. I mean, is there anything more delicious than a man wrapped up in cashmere?! Is it me or did this blog post just heat up??? Sorry, I tend to get carried away with menswear. It was after all, my first love! Here are some of my favorite fall looks for men. Make them your own, and always rock them with CONFIDENCE!

RACHEL ZOE RESORT '12

I cannot stop obsessing over this collection!!!! Insprired by the 60's and 70's, Rachel Zoe's Resort '12 collection is definitely BANANAS! From the cocktail dresses, to the blazers paired with flared jeans, I want it all! IMPECCABLE......

“I will always be inspired by the '60s and '70s — I think you will find every season that there are elements from both these iconic decades in all my collections. The maxi dresses and skirts definitely came from vintage Halston references — very reminiscent of Bianca Jagger and Anjelica Houston in the '70s. YSL inspired safari jackets and shorts. But there are definitely some obvious elements of the '60s— everything from short mod shift dresses to color blocking skirt and suit looks." ~ RZ
