how to prepare yourself for the holidays – meal planning, holiday checklist, and more
It happens every year, yet somehow we’re never prepared. It’s holiday season. There are strings of lights tangled in every corner of the house, flour from your mishap-baking project covering the entire kitchen, smoke rises as the turkey burns to a dry lug in the oven, and half-wrapped presents lay concealed under your dirty laundry in the bedroom. Sound familiar? It’s tough to survive the holidays. Especially if you’re balancing a job, family school – or like me balancing being a fashion blogger with another full time career. If life wasn’t pleasantly chaotic enough, someone decided to put Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, school registration, end-of-year reports, 4th quarter deadlines and your dog’s stomach flue all in the same few weeks. Not well planned. Not well planned at all. Thankfully, you can be. I’ve found the key to surviving the holidays is all about three things: planning, organization, and maintaining a level of sanity with a healthy lifestyle.

FASHIONPHILE: VERY POOR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
Fashionphile just lost a loyal 10-year client. My first purchase from Fashionphile was a Louis Vuitton Garment Cover in January 2007. I have always used Fashionphile because they have the best prices and I have always felt comfortable that their inventory was authentic. The customer experience has always been pleasant. Now, fast forward 10 years. What […]
ARTHUR’S LIP BALM IS A MUST-HAVE FOR MEN
Men, you cannot be a good kisser if you have chapped lips. A well-groomed man has soft lips. A lot of men don’t like to use lip balm because they are usually designed for women, meaning the tubing is small and the flavors are feminine. Don’t worry! Arthur heard your concerns and produced the perfect […]
CAN A LUXURY BRAND BE TOO EXCLUSIVE? YES
I own an Hermes Lizard Grand Modele Agenda, so I called Hermes to get an agenda refill. I thought it would be a simple process, but I was wrong. Ring. “Hermes, I am on your site. I am trying to order an agenda refill, but I am not sure which size refill will fit my agenda. […]

I bought a 1991 Alzer 80 from a reputable Charlotte-based luxury dealer for $1,875. The 28-year-old piece is in excellent […]
