Dear Bagistas,  

Wow!! I’m just coming up for air after Tuesdays amazing Accessorize for the Holidays event, where I showcased my ten must-buy accessory gifts for the holiday season. There’s always this crazy rush before you host an event, especially when you are speaking in front of so many savvy and stylish women – Michelle Madhok of SheFinds.com, fashion designer and Shopafrolic.com founder Liz Lange, Real Simples’ Julee Wilson, Essence Magazine editor and blogger Zandile Blay, and Accessories Council president Karen Giberson, to name a few.

A big thank you to Dasha Wellness for provide a tranquil and elegant setting. If you live in the New York area, visit them for a myriad of physical and nutritional wellness needs – it’s a one-stop-shop to better yourself. Talk about a nice holiday gift idea … gift cards to Dasha Wellness.

Also talk you to Fretzels and Glow Gluten Free for their yummy treats that keeps guests smiling and GIVEN Liquor for the liquid energy ;).

Finally, to my beloved and talented florist Vito Russo – this guy knows flowers and it’s just a bonus that he’s easy on the eye! You killed it at my wedding and with your festive coral and white present this week.

Top Ten Items on Saks.com: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Still want more holiday shopping guidance? Great. I've asked my friends at Saks.com to share what their top 10 best selling items are right now. Naturally, the bulk of them are accessories though only one is a bag. I'd think a bag is an easier gift as there is no size issues, but hey to each their own.

Holiday Gifts Under $20: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

After all that holiday shopping - with me it was 8 crazy nights, and yes that means 8 gifts per person!! - it's a bit daunting to think about New Year's gifts. Ya, New Years gifts! Do you do that? I do that now that my friends began to exchange gifts on New Years day over the last few years. Anywho, if you too are strapped for cash after holiday shopping check out the BagTrends list of Top 20 Gifts under $20. My personal favorites are:
Pink Magazine 1-year subscription - it's a combination of Wall St. Journal, Marie Claire and Fortune and an ideal gift for any woman that has her own business of is just juggling her personal and professional life.
Nordstrom Glitter Handbag Ornament - I love it for obvious reasons and while I don't have a Christmas tree I plan to hand one in my office from my memo board. It's perfect.
Lulu Cable Knit Hat - of course color is big this season and as I always say, if you're not the gal to rock the fushcia coat or hot red skirt an accessory like this is wonderful burst of color for your warm weather wardrobe.

Lulu Cable Knit Hat, $12



Pink Magazine 1-year subscription, $15



Nordstrom Glitter Handbag Ornament $6 each
