I recently had a conversation with someone from New York City where I had to explain the nature of my car-commuting California lifestyle. Part of that lifestyle deems it unnecessary for me to own an iPod or MP3 player because I spend most of my time in my car, listening to my car stereo. I want to say that this is because I’m kind of a big deal, but actually, it’s typical here for people to not be pedestrians in Southern California. Looking at this limited edition iRiver Swarovski crystal-studded Hello Kitty mp3 player however, is totally changing my mind about the way I think of MP3 players. More »

If Audrey Hepburn had an iPhone, I doubt she’d Holly Golightly when it comes to Swarovski crystals on her iPhone case. Hepburn being ever-so-much the iconic figure for beauty and class, would most likely own an Audrey Charm faceplate.

So I’m not really into Lil’ Mama or anything, but I do love lip gloss, like most chicks. Been in love since I got my extra large size raspberry Lipsmackers when I was 10. I still like lipsmackers, I won’t deny it, but I’ve branched out. For the super cutest lip glosses and everything else kitschy and freakin’ adorable, check out www.fredflare.com. They just launched a brick and mortar store at 131 Meserole Ave in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, so you can scoop up the cute in person. It’s a great store to go to for novelty items for holiday presents for your friends. It’s stuff you don’t really need, but so cute, it’s a justifiable splurge. So here is my cute gift guide (all available at fredflare.com):

This is usually what I carry on a daily basis but sometimes there’s more. I definitely need a bigger purse! More »
