A Few Goody Gumdrops Scoops Glamour's Interview With The Kardashian's!

Glamour's January 2012 issue is available on newsstands nationwide and digitally on December 6. Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian dish to Glamour about their lives and their hopes for the coming year. This is their first group interview since Kim announced her divorce from Kris. The shoot was photographed  in New York City by Ben Watts. Kim. Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian appear on Glamour's cover wearing cardigans by L'Wren Scott and Malia Mills bottoms. Kourtney wears a ring and bracelets by Cartier. To Visit Glamour’s Facebook page for their exclusive photo album of the shoot click the green link.

Here is en excerpt of the interview with Kim, Kourtney and Khloe.
Kim: ...I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic.
GLAMOUR: What do you mean by that?
Kim: It means that I believe in love and the dream of having a perfect relationship, but my idea of it has changed. I think I need to not live in a fairy tale like that. I think I maybe need to just snap out of it and be a little more realistic.
Khloé: I love Kim's belief in love and the fact that she feels so strongly about it. She has that dream every girl has.
Kim: Well, I don't think I have it right now.
Khloé: Which is fine, but I'm your sister and I know why you don't have it right now. But I know you will get it again.
Kim: I hope I do. But by then I hope maybe I'm a little bit more realistic.
GLAMOUR: Realistic about what?
Kim: The fact that what I want isn't possible.
Khloé: What, a guy on a white horse coming to get you? That doesn't happen!
Kim: I don't know. I always wanted what Mom and Dad had. And at first I was like, I want six kids. Then I went down to four, then I was down to three.and now I'm like, maybe I won't have any. Maybe I'll just be a good aunt.
Khloé: But Mom and Dad got a divorce, and she met Bruce. And you were a child; you don't know what Mom and Dad had. As an outsider looking in, it probably looked like paradise.
Kim: At this moment in my life, I feel like maybe I'm not supposed to have kids and all that.
Khloé: Oh my God. Don't be dramatic all of a sudden!
Kim: That's how I feel. Maybe my fairy tale has a different ending than I dreamed it would. But that's OK.

Is A Dazzling Diamond Necklace On Your Wish List?

It's our favorite time of year. We love the holidays especially picking out presents! We always try and give our hubby suggestions and (big) pushes toward our current must-haves. Our latest obsession is the glamorous and sophisticated Diamond Necklace pictured above with naturally white stones from Anjolee. This piece is at the very top of our list. The necklace features prong set, round diamonds that are graduated in size with the largest stone in the center. This necklace is available in platinum, yellow or white gold and features between 5 and 10 carats. Of course, we'd like our necklace to have 10 carats! I know my husband will agree that this dazzling diamond necklace will be a fabulous statement piece on me! I'd pair with a fitted black strapless Gucci dress and sexy Louboutins or with my skinny jeans, a white blouse and a fitted Jil Sander blazer. It's the perfect day to evening piece.

Anjolee has so many sparkling pieces that it's actually hard to choose. Anjolee provides high-end diamond jewelry at the best prices. They have a spectacular selection of  Gemstone Bracelets, Diamond Earrings, Diamond Necklaces,  Diamond Pendants and Wedding Rings...just to name a few. They are one of the largest diamond manufacturers in the United States. They're known for providing their clients with the best customer service and fast delivery. They continue to offer their customers the BEST value possible. They offer Free Shipping and Insurance with Overnight Delivery on all items, Free Gift Packaging and Thirty Day, 100% Money Back Guaranteed Return policy.

What truly makes Anjolee so special is many of their pieces are unique designs and they allow you to customize each piece of jewelry based on your budget and your distinct style. For example, you can select the metal type, (gold, white gold or platinum) the total carat weight and the diamond quality. That means my very close friend and I can select the same diamond Tennis Necklace with different carat weight, diamond quality and metal type and they'll look very much the same! It doesn't get much better than that. This is the perfect place for the ultra-chic fashionista to find that coveted piece!

The Louboutin Maybe Mightier Than The Sword!

As I was carousing around my favorite chi chi department store I sauntered over to one of my favorite spots....the Christian Louboutin Shoes. Only to be greeted by an over-sized turquoise suede platform pump. This was not just any pump. This was a pump that could knock out anybody in your way with either the platform or the heel.The picture does not do this

pump justice! It's more ridiculous in person. One good clop to the head and some unfortunate fashionista could be laid up for weeks! I actually began to think of this ginormous shoe as more of a weapon than a chic and trendy pump. I'm not sure how one could balance or walk in these shoes but you'd be sure to make a dramatic entrance. My gut feeling is....if this shoe starts to come after you..........RUN as fast as you can! It definitely looks more like a weapon in disguise than a wearable platform pump. If you must-have these over-sized and over-priced turquoise Louboutin's then click the link to indulge!

The Row Handbags Are Waiting For You and With Good Reason!

When we first previewed The Row Handbags months ago....we knew we were in love! We also knew the prices were way over the top and almost unaffordable. The Row handbags are elegant and made with beautiful leathers and skins. There is no "it" bag in the group. The entire collection is effortlessly chic and timeless. There are no studs, charms or embellishments. The bags are simple and ever-so stylish. The best is...these bags are now affordable by clicking this link. Given the "new pricing"...these bags will be flying off the shelves. They're still pricey but the bags are forever with their own sense of  cool and sophistication. As the leather will scratch these aren't bags you can toss into the backseat like we do! The bags featured above are: The Leather and Suede Doctor Bag, The Metal Framed Lizard Clutch and The Leather Backpack. Hmmmm....We really want the lizard clutch! Click the green link to indulge.

Moncler, McQueen, Balmain and Zanotti's Must-Haves Are Waiting For You!

Now that Black Friday is here, it's time to shop one of our favorite online boutiques that has some amazing key pieces for your wardrobe! These coveted pieces are not only edgy and timeless ...they're reduced with so many other goodies. We've selected four pieces that are on our must-have list! The first key item that's so necessary for keeping your feet warm and chic are the Moncler Raccoon Fur Charlotte Wedges. These lace up wedges are featured in dark brown with matching fur. They look great and are sure to be a fashion favorite for your toes! The second must-haves are the Giuseppe Zanotti Sharon Heels. How cool are these! Every fashionista needs to be "spotted" in one gorgeous pair of sexy leopard shoes. We'd pair these cool heels with Alexander McQueen's iconic Skull Box Clutch. This bag features pebbled leather with silver hardware and Swarovski crystal accents on the skull. Too cool for words! If you don't have a McQueen clutch in your wardrobe....this is the perfect time to buy one. The bag we think is fab for daytime is Balmain's Abroad Messenger Bag in textured leather with gunmetal tone hardware. Great size, shape and detailing. We've shown you four pieces that we love. Click on the banner below and tell us if we've selected your choices.

How To Glam Up The Little Gucci Black Dress with Valentino, Gonzalez and Atwood!

The "little black dress" can be simple, chic, sophisticated, fun and sexy. However, even a dress that delivers a lot of punch can get more pow with a few key accessories. Chances are you have tons of accessories in your closet but it's time to update them! Our choice of the LBD ( if you need a new one) is Gucci's Square Neck Jersey Dress.

We suggest pairing with  fabulous bright colored shoes. This season color blocking is ever-so fashionable. Wearing a bold pair of heels that really pop makes the simple LBD really stand out. Together they create an energized look. We love Brian Atwood's Maniac Patent Leather Pumps!   For am ultra sophisticated look...pair with gold heels and Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Box Clutch in gold.                                              

Glam your LBD with a fabulous Crocodile Clutch. We have just the one...the Knot Croc-Skin Clutch by Nancy Gonzalez in pink is stunning especially paired with the bright pink shoes and black dress. It's the perfect size for evening. ( just big enough for all your essentials) The bright shoes and bag give a lift to the simple black dress.

                                                     
The weather is getting chilly and you may need to cover up and be warm. Skip the wrap and add edge to your look by wearing an effortlessly chic black leather jacket. If you need a push to wear this look...just check out the streets in Soho or channel your inner "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". Our favorite edgy and chic leather jacket is Valentino's Seamed Leather Jacket.

Lastly, pair with Jo Malone's gorgeous fragrance....Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne. It's amazing and we love the bottle,too! Click the green links to indulge all these goodies. We know your LBD will be rocking with these finishing touches. Pair with bracelets or gigantic hanging earrings. ( Your on your own for that!)

We're All Feathered Up!

We love this fabulous and very stylish Zac Posen black wool crepe feathered jacket. Feathers are so stylish and this seasons hottest embellishment. Posen's jacket is both elegant and trendy. Pair with a fabulous cocktail dress, goregous wool crepe trousers or even skinny jeans for a very funky look. The jacket features chiffon-trimmed round neck, box-pleated structured shoulders, long sleeves, feathered trim at cuffs and hem and faux pearl buttons.

Guest Blogger..TheFind.com is Fun in Plaid with Dolce & Gabbana's Leather Lace-up Boots!

Though layering socks looks like a pretty nifty trend to try this holiday season, another one is fast on its heels. Or should I say, quite literally on its heel. Shoe makers are integrating super cute inner and outer linings to classic boots to give them a refreshing, updated, and undeniably adorable twist of snuggly, cozy style. Definitely a delightful option and addition that is completely perfect for braving this upcoming season of super chilly and super cold-weather. I have absolutely fallen inlove with Dolce and Gabbana;s Plaid and Leather Lace-up Boots! With my mainly brown, black, and camel winter wardrobe, adding this colorful and vibrant pair of boots will add the extra need of texture and color I'll need to add a little something-something to my drab and gray sunny yet foggy and freezing San Francisco fall and winter days. I absolutely adore the unique sturdy, and stylish stacked heels. An equestrian inspired Vera Bradley Mini-Cross Small Cross Body in Olive will pair nicely! Dark denim, black tights, gray jean leggings...

The possibilities on what I could mix, match, and spice up with this pair is endless.

To celebrate this season of giving, our friends at Vera Bradley are giving away a $250 Gift Card to one lucky winner. Simply go to our Facebook Giveaway page here to enter! As a special early holiday treat Vera Bradley is offering Free Shipping on orders of $100+ through 11/19/11.

The Row Backpack Suits My Needs!

We definitely debated over this bag for along time! It's not that we didn't love The Row Backpack and want it immediately...we saw the skin version and we're like OMG!!!! The price was the same as college tuition so  we quickly nixed it. (don't know how I could have hid that price tag from my hubby) The leather version is also pricey but we we can live with that! (gulp) All the Row's bags are simple, chic and very wearable...just like their clothing. We did hear the leather will scratch so we are going to try and be somewhat careful! We actually carry the bag using one strap on our shoulder. (looks hipper) Click the green link to indulge this very cool and chic leather backpack!

The Row's Stylish Briston Dress and Animal Print Coat!

We are always searching for the perfect simple, sexy and elegant black dress. One of our favorite's this season is THE ROW'S Briston wool-blend dress which is ever-so perfect for Thanksgiving dinner next week or your latest holiday party.We still love our Row Swing dress from last fall and wear it non stop! Although their dresses may look simple in the  images...the style, fit, material, and attention to detail make their dresses such a fashion favorite.The Row Briston dress features  black wool-blend, round neck, padded shoulders, long sleeves, and seam detail. We'd pair this simple black dress with a pair of leopard tights for a  trendier look or pair with black tights, ankle booties and The Row's Grentin animal-print goat hair coat.  Animal prints are key this season. Click the green links to shop The Row.  We know you'll look simply smashing in both of these timeless pieces!

Why Kill The Golden Goose When You Can Wear Him, Delightfully, on Your Feet?

These Golden Goose Dark Brown High Biker Boots – 100% leather, of course – are not for chickens. Ha Ha.Dumb puns aside, these boots are totally kickin' for a number of reasons. They somehow synthesize the cowboy and biker aesthetic into one beautiful mismatch that borrows from both cultures yet trumps both the cowboy look and the biker look at the same time. If that’s possible.

You know how like, when donkeys and horses breed, they create mules? And mules can do things that neither donkeys nor horses can do on their own. Same thing goes for these Golden Goose Dark Brown Biker Boots. They feature a braided bar with silver buckle, a rounded toe that classically points upwards a broad heel that’s a comfortable 3 centimeters.

You don't need me to state the obvious, but I will: these boots are hip, sassy, and cool – ideal with mini-dresses as well as jean shorts. There is a certain urban cowboy aspect to them, as these are not boots made for hard living. Riding a motorcycle across country? (Nope, don't bring the boots.) Rough riding across a barren patch of West Texas? (Nope, boots aren't for that either.)

Instead, they are built for fashion over utility. These boots will only look cooler as they get slightly weathered and worn down. Whether you are taking in a cool indie music show, going with pals you just met to a crazy gala art opening, going on a crazy road trip or traipsing with cowpokes on a fun random adventure, these boots will rock.

Indulge The Row's Very Cool Thick Frame Sunglasses!

The Row curved-square acetate-frame sunglasses are the hottest new shades. Sunglasses have become a must-have accessory. It's the perfect time to indulge The Row's fashion favorite sunglasses!

We love wearing  HUGE sunglasses for so many reasons:

1. They're in style!
2. They look great!
3. More eye and face protection from the sun and wind.
3. They HIDE the wrinkles we already have!!
5. They flatter your face.

The thick black curved frames are tinted with purple lenses for an ultra cool look. We must tell you...we own these trendy sunglasses and wear them everyday. Love the combo of the thick black frames with the purple lenses which are very becoming and brighten up your face. If the thick black frames are too edgy for you, then check out the more conservative light-tortoiseshell acetate sunglasses with tinted green lenses. Click the green links to indulge The Row! They are truly chic!
