My darlings, what are you looking forward to this weekend? I can’t wait to finally visit Kelly Wearstler’s new boutique and to fete my fabulous friend at her black-tie 30th birthday party. I’m also excited to watch the SAG red carpet and hope to hit the beach — it’s supposed to be in the 80s here in LA this weekend!

 

Here’s what I’ll be wearing (in my mind!) while, true to Sh*t People Say in LA form, complaining that it’s too hot at 85 and too cold at 75:

 1. Caribbean Swirl Sunhat (via Oh Joy!)

2. Dear Marlene Bikini

3. Kate Spade ‘Eat Cake’ for Breakfast’ Bag

4. Tory Burch Cactus Wreath Necklace

5. Topshop Co-ord Stripe Fluid Shorts

 

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and sending some amazeballs deals your way:

Everywhere: $50 Off Jeffrey Campbell Shoes at Plum Polly (major!)

Everywhere: $50 off any full-price purchase of $250+ at katespade.com w/code YOP12 (whoa!)

LA: $55 for $125 to Argyle Salon in Sunset Tower (I’m hoping to bump into Rachel Zoe!)

LA: $20 for $40 to Prado (I love this Larchmont Village resto!)

LA: Blogger Flea Market at Space15Twenty! (dangerous!)

Kelly’s Picks: 5 Fab Beauty Stocking Stuffers

beauty gifts; nars funny face lipstick

 

 

With Christmas a mere two and a half weeks away, I’m dedicating this edition of Kelly’s Picks to five beautiful stocking stuffers and gifts I hope to give and receive.

1. Lucky editors say Lancome FLASH BRONZER is the best self tanner to use on both your body and your face and I’ll try anything to not look like the ghost of Christmas past this season $31.50 ; 2. I adore Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Cobalt Ink and it’s so easy to apply with a brush to get Audrey Hepburn eyes $21  3. Confesh: I only wash my hair a few times a month — it’s so dry! — so a redonkulously cute shower cap like this  to replace the ones I steal from hotels would be peachy $8; 4. Chapstick’s fine, but I’m ready to jazz things up and this NARS lip gloss kit reminds me of the fun makeup kits we used to get as teens, but more glam $50; 5. Because my super stylish friend was wearing this NARS Lipstick in Funny Face and looked fuchsia fab and hello, the name “Funny Face” $24]

Holiday Dressing: $20 Off Rent the Runway!

rent_the_runway; Rent the Runway; dress rental sites; borrow designer dresses; rent the runway coupon codes; rent the runway promo codes

Holiday parties are mere weeks away. Nothing to wear? Never fear. Rent the Runway, the genius site that lets you borrow current designer dresses by Tibi, See by Chloe, Catherine Malandrino, Halston Heritage and more, has your back . Place your order by November 21st and get $20 off. That means you can rent a fab frock that will knock everyone’s Christmas socks off for just $30. We love the idea of borrowing a special occasion dress rather than buying one since we’re likely to never want to wear it again (or are we the only ones who don’t want to “repeat” in our Facebook photos?). Hmm… In fact, as easily as we get tired of seeing the same things in our closet (and in our photos), this might just be a new lease on life (pun so intended). How to get the deal?
