Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Twelve

With Hannah's Holiday Look Book wrapping up with this fabulous gift twelve, I find it important to end on a positive note with a present that supports a great cause. Give this Feed Kenya Masai Scarf that is handcrafted in Kenya by a group of women and deaf artisans. 'Handcrafting these beautiful scarves provides much-needed work and support to communities in Nairobi, Kenya, particularly for a nation that is now dealing with a food crisis leaving 10 million Kenyans at risk of hunger.' Made from the red and purple plaid tribal fabric with the hand-beaded "FEED" logo at the bottom, when you purchase one of these gorgeous scarves it provides ten school meals to the children in Kenya. What a way to give back during a time when people are in need. 
Stay fashionable and Merry Christmas!

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Eleven

While life certainly is unexpected and unfortunate things still occur during the holiday season, I want to mention the fun-filled gift you can get any one, including kids and teens. Purchase a relaxing game of any kind, one of my favorites is Apples To Apples. Enjoy your time sharing memories and lots of laughter with your friends and family and pull out your game collections on those snowy days when you are stuck inside (or for all of us West Coasters, on the days its drizzling outside, not that we get many of those!) Don't forget to grab some hot cocoa too!

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Nine

Someone once told me dreams they wished to accomplish in the way Andy Warhol once lived. Ever since hearing about this objective and secretly researching all that I can on Andy himself, I respected and fell in love with the person with the dream and began to want to live a life in the way Andy did. Grab this NARS (best brand ever, duh!) 'Andy Warhol' Photo Booth Nail Polish Gift Set! While this is currently being written on my list for Santa, I hope every one else receives this gift as well.

Not only is this the fastest selling perfume after Coco Chanel, but Lady Gaga's Fame perfume which appears black in the bottle sprays clear and becomes invisible once airborne. This is the first perfume to utilize such technology and seriously it smells divine. This is a gift I will be asking for and praying that I receive!

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift One

I honestly love a good makeup or beauty book that can help guide you through those days where you are prepping for a huge event, holiday party or even just your average day. While I have recently started experimenting with makeup and different products, I have really relied on several makeup books. I have my favorites and the two that I keep referring to are Scott Barnes and Lauren Conrad's fab books. Pick up one of these (or both!) for that doll in your life, best friend, mom or sister. They will be thanking you later. I promise.

















Scott Barnes has written two amazing books on makeup. Purchase About Face or his latest, Face to Face, both $15.

Luscious In Leggings

Printed leggings are marvelous for fall and the perfect transition piece for winter. While they are cozy and comfortable, you can still look completely chic while out and about. Grab some of these fabulous printed leggings below and let me know which pair you gush over most.


These LC Lauren Conrad Floral Leggings ($12) are so fab. I can tell you from owning the exact pair that they feel just like pajamas yet look rockin' on your bod! Add a cute black top and sport these with black boots or flats.

I adore leopard and why not go all out in these Kardashian Kollection Wild Animal Leggings ($17)! While these are totes amaze and a must have, pair with a long black tunic or sparkly cream colored top. Add simple accessories and neutral heels.


Polka dots are beyond stylish this year. Model an adorable pair of Polka Dot Leggings ($12) like the ones above and go lovely with a white or black lace top with booties or flats.

Opt for some Floral Cotton Leggings ($13) while adding a pair of bright and spunky heels. Go for a gray green or wine colored blouse and choose mild jewelry as you already have a lot going on with these daring pants. 

Love a little lace and the AE Lace Print Leggings ($20) look awesome with a leather jacket and combat boots. For a little bit less edgy feel, model a black sweater with UGG boots.

Roberto Cavalli: South Coast Plaza

Last week as I charged through South Coast Plaza (the largest mall in California-I die!!) in Costa Mesa, my friend and I came upon the most magnificent Roberto Cavalli collection on display for the public. While we were a floor up from the gathering below, seriously surprised but also very excited as to what we just witnessed, we literally ran to the glass elevators and rode down to the first floor as fast as it would get us there. When we walked up to the amazing gowns that A-list celebrities have worn from 2003 to today, we couldn't help but snap pictures and gush over the brilliant pieces. They were all perfectly draped upon a mannequin and the detail of each frock was magnificent. I immediately thought of you, my readers, and knew you guys would be very interested and inspired, just like us.
