Diana Eng Fortune Cookie Coin Purse

If you're looking for a fun and fashionable little holiday gift for someone, the Diana Eng Fortune Cookie Coin Purse ($45) is the perfect choice. They look like real fortune cookies don't they?! These purses are made from preconsumer scraps, upholstery sample, or remnant leather from the garment district. Each coin purse and has an unique laser etched ID number so you can tell where the leather came from based on Diana's chart. They measure 4” x 4” x 2” and each purse and come with a dust bag and printed fortune inside.

I recently received one from Diana as a holiday gift and have been using it all the time. It's so cute that I always comments on it when I shop. Should be extra fun the next time I go out to a Chinese restaurant! I love that by using this I don't weigh down and wear out my regular wallet with all my coins. Order it now to get it shipped in time for Christmas!

Holiday Gift Guide: Fashionably Tech

There's nothing I love more than my tech stuff and I know most ladies do too. This Holiday Gift Guide focuses on some of the best tech goods and accessories for the fashionable gal. To start us off, what could be better than a new HP Mini 210 that comes in a variety of candy colors. Prices start at $329.99! (You can see my previous Coquette review here.) It's a great deal for a portable net book that fits in a large handbag.

Here are more great fashionable tech picks:

Sony Cyber-shot Digital Camera TX9 ($338.70) at Amazon)

Take great photos in low light without a flash, panoramic and even 3D photos with this tiny phone. You can also record HD quality video in the AVCHD format.

Flip Slide HD ($197 on Amazon)
16 GB / 4 hrs of video recording. Watch up to 12 hours of video.

Amazon Kindle ($139 on Amazon)

I read most of my books with a Kindle. I have the iPad but the light just hurts my eyes. The screen of a Kindle uses digital ink and it's much more soothing for the eyes when you are devouring virtual pages of a book.

I use my iPad to watch movies or TV shows in bed. Mostly used for non-work fun.

Holiday Gift Guide: Makeup Palettes

My Holiday Gift Guide starts today and each week I'll be focusing on a different subject, from fashion, tech, to today's special treat: makeup palettes. There's something so beautiful and intriguing about makeup palettes – I can't help but oogle over them, yet I haven't made the leap over to buy one yet. They are great gifts for any woman and the perfect stocking stuffer. Who wouldn't want to open up a beautiful case filled with colors?
I love the idea that you can have everything from eyes to lips in one set and can take it with you on the go. This new limited edition Chanel palette, Collection Essentielle De Chanel ($85 at Chanel.com) has shades of colors to compliment most skin tones. The palette includes 2 lip glosses, 1 lip color, 3 powder eyeshadows, 2 cream concealers, 1 cream brush and custom applicators.

Here are more makeup palettes:

Bobbi Brown Limited Edition Modern Classic Lip & Eye Palette ($75 at Bobbi Brown)

Dior Deluxe Travel Palette ($75 at Bloomingdales)
