Actually Cool Gifts Under $100

In my first ever actually consistent multi-part series of gift guides this year, we’re now moving on from custom gifts to something more generic…but I’m going to [try and] make it more exciting. How many gift guides have you seen with junk under $100? If you weren’t on a budget before, everyone seems to be on a budget when it comes to the holidays, but that doesn’t mean you should compromise your gift giving. So, today I’m bringing you 24 gifts (for both the ladies and the gents!) under $100 that you’ll be proud to give this year (and when adding to cart you won’t feel guilty about “quantity 2” because let’s face it, you’ll probably buy something for yourself…it happens to the best of us).

Throwback Thursday: Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton

It was a good run, guys. In case you haven’t heard, Marc Jacobs just left Louis Vuitton after being their Creative Director for 16 years. His recent collection that showed just yesterday at Paris Fashion Week was his last. From pajama dressing to fur in some interesting places, and everything in between, we’re throwing back this Thursday to look at Marc’s evolution at Louis Vuitton.

The Unexpected: Birkenstocks Are Trending

First flatforms, then sneaker wedges and now Birkenstocks…I can totally see now why straight men would hate fashion. Since around 2011, shoe trends have had approximately 0 sex appeal, which not everyone is a fan of…but it does make for a fantastic fashion challenge. Whether you love them or you hate them, Birkenstocks are the latest to take off in ugly shoe trends. So the question is…will you give in?

Met Gala Fashion: The Punkest

We’ve discussed the not so punk and the almost punk from last night’s Met Gala…but what about the punkest of them all? These ladies BROUGHT IT. Not saying they all should have (I’m talking to you, Madonna) but I appreciate the effort.

For the last and final Met Gala post of 2013…

Met Gala Fashion: The Not So Punk

All caught up with part 1 and part 2? Great. Grand. Fantastic.

Now let’s talk about those who missed the punk memo. I’m not saying you have to show up in a mohawk, a nose ring and everything with safety pins but you can at least acknowledge the theme. But maybe these people are so punk, they’re not going to dress punk for the punk event. Ever think of that?
