Graduation Presents I

The season for graduation has arrived again, and for some people, this means the end of an era and the beginning of another stage in their lives. It is the custom tocommemorate this special event with a gift. But the usual photoframes and such are so old and not exactly the ideal gift. Here are a few of our ideas of the perfect graduation gifts we would like to recieve:

Ok, lets start with the classics. And what can be more timeless then a watch? Now that they're entering a new stage in their life, upgrade from the plastic watches with a more elegant looking silver band. Like this pink (or is it purple?) Swatch watch or even better yet- this very classical Cartier watch.
Record this special time in their lives with a digital camera, such as my personal favourite- a Canon Powershot 500.

And if they don't have one already, you simply MUST get them an ipod. If you are not sure about which color to get, play it safe and get the silver. They can always change the color with different colored cases!
Everyone needs a bag that they can take everywhere. And what better then this timeless black Vuitton bag that can be worn as a clutch or a shoulder bag. It will match any outfit and is perfect for any occasion, from out for the day to a formal ball.
A new stage in your life deserves a new fagrance. I am loving this sexy, fruity and sophisticated fragrance Baby Doll by YSL.


And we've saved the best for last. The ultimate perfect gift we would like to recieve for graduation, would be our very own Mercedes Convertible!

There's something for everyone. Get them something memorable and meaningly to celebrate their special day or if YOU are the one graduating. . well give them a hint and forward them this blog! LOL ;)

The Desperate Housewives Fashion: Teri Hatcher

So the first season of the Desperate Housewives has just come to an end yesterday. And wow the finale was super exciting and sad at the same time! I can't believe they left us hanging like that (just like the OC!)!!!Is anyone else suprised that this show about housewives in a nice little neighborhood turned out to be such a big hit? I am. But I can see the resemblance this show has to the other great show of our time-Sex and the City-except in a suburban environment of course. And like all great shows, there is great fashion. So this week, we are going to take a look at the Desperate Housewives Fashion!

So we're starting off with the "Carrie" of the group, Susan Mayer the young divorcee and single mom played by Teri Hatcher. Being the rather clumsy, die-hard-for-love, more like a teenager than her teenage daughter mom that she is, Susan's fashion is mostly very young, casual and simple.

Susan in a cute Free People sweater. This sweater is soo young and casual in fact that both Harrods Girl and I each own one-in a different color.

Sneaking around Paul's house in a very simple Velvet yurico top.


Looking much more like a mom, in a sweater also by Velvet, at her daughter's school dance.

At the showing wearing a white gown that looks . . . decidely prom like/wedding like I am not sure which. But still, you got to admit that its a pretty outfit, not glam but pretty, despite her slightly disgruntled expression and her later . . mishap with the dress.

In real life, Teri Hatcher still wears very young outfits, but defintely much more interesting then what she wears on the show. Like this very LA outfit she wore to Disneyland's 50th Anniversary Party.

And the real Teri Hatcher definitely knows how to glam it up properly when the occasion calls for it. This is quite a flattering and elegant blue dress she wore to the Laureus World Sports Awards.

The Desperate Houeswives Fashion: Felicity Huffman

Lynette Scavo, the career woman turned housewife to 4 kids played, by Felicity Huffman. I got to admit, she's not exactly the most fashionable housewife out there. Her style is usually VERY housewife casual and practical (and I guess really rather realistic. I mean, what woman can look amazingly stylish with not one, not two, but FOUR kids AND a household?) But she has her moments.


Looking down at Wisteria Lane during a precious peaceful moment at her household, in a printed blouse and shirt. That printed shirt is actually not bad. Definitely one of her better housewife moments.


Looking pretty good in this spaghetti strap. But of course, everyone's got to look good when confronting a potential threat to their marriage.


Remnants of her uprising executive days I'm sure. Not exactly very flattering or stylish really.

Looking slightly elegant in this poofy strapless dress, although a bit weighed down.

Out of her role, her fashion still isn't exactly very up to par. Here she is in a decidedly unflattering yellow dress that makes her look fat (esp around the waist) at the 16ths Annual GLAAD Media Awards.

At the ABC upfront party. This dress is definitely much more flattering and kind of pretty. . . but in a suburbia kind of way.

The career woman turn desperate housewife with four kids shops at. . . Gap, what better shop for simple and comfortable clothes, AND an one stop shop for your kids as well!. . . Although perhaps she will need to shop at somewhere more sophisticated next season?
