Gift Guide: Not Too Late for Mom!

By |May 8th, 2009|Gift Guide|

Okay, slackers… Did you seriously forget about mom? The woman who gave you those good genes and taught you to apply  mascara?

Well, here are a few little last minute suggestions to get you off the hook:

  • Flowers- this is totally obvious and you can still get them to her on time. Why not actually take some time to pick out some nice ones? I sent my mom a potted gardenia plant last year. Big hit.
  • Send a card- It’s going to be late, but the postal service isn’t always so reliable is it? 😉 A great site that I found- www.astonishingcards.com.  You can make photo cards. Earn bonus points by sending her a card with a great photo of the two of you.
  • Go shopping with her! (And this time- you foot the bill!)farinellis09_mothers_day_flyer-767223(online coupon codes- mothersday09, mothersdayjeans)
  • Take her to brunch. Sometimes all mom wants is to spend some time with you. (Again, don’t you DARE let her pay).
  • Arrange a pedicure or spa treatment at a nice local salon. She would never book it for herself. www.spafinder.com
  • At the very least, make sure you call her and tell her how much you love her and thank her for everything she’s done for you (i.e., carry you around in her uterus for 9 months and ruin her perfect figure).

Pure “Jean”ius

By |April 16th, 2009|Uncategorized|

Oh shopping for jeans… It can be so painful.  I would say jeans and bathing suits rank as two of the most traumatic things a woman can shop for.  I remember missing the matinee for Titanic (how fitting) with my mom after a bad afternoon of jean shopping years ago.

But alas, that’s where the new store Farinelli’s comes in.  Catering to both men and women, they have every pair of sexy jeans you’ve ever dreamed of.  From Citizen to to Current/Elliot to Nudie you are sure to find the perfect pair (or two) for your figure.  *Bonus points- While they are still a newbie (aka hidden gem) you might actually  have a shot of being able to get the latest styles in your size! **Bonus Bonus points- Farinelli’s is a one stop shop. Once you’ve found your new booty hugging pair of jeans continue browsing their selection of sexy “date tops” (as I like to call them).

Example of perfect date outfit:

top

Maloom Silky Top w/ built in bra (love that!), $148

joes-chelsea

Joe’s Chelsea jean, $174

You can shop online or if you’re located in the DC area, you can stop into the store and get the best kind of customer service, “brutal honesty.”
