Ramping Up for Christmas

With Christmas just around the corner, it's a great time to start looking into gifts for family and friends. The last couple weeks have been fairly uneventful in the retail boutique world (in my humble opinion). I have found a few this week that are very tempting. At Hautelook.com, Rock and Republic jeans and shoes are featured at around 50% off retail prices. From what I have read, you should order up one size.

Modnique.com has a great Pearl and Gemstone necklace boutique. I have already been back three times, and I think this time I will actually buy one of the necklaces I have been tempted by. There are so many options with freshwater pearls because they are available in so many colors (dyed). Here are a few I have been thinking about, and at $29.00 or less you can't go wrong:
Almost forgot something. I have been on the hunt for a great pair of boots for this season ( if you get a good quality pair, they can last years). After spending a week searching I finally found a pair (or two, but who's counting). Then today, I found these on Beyondtherack.com. They are all leather uppers and run only $45, which is an amazing deal. They would look so cute with a pair of skinny or strait leg jeans tucked in, boot cut jeans worn over, or with tights or stockings and a skirt.
