Mansur Gavriel in stock December 2015! Did I really just say that? Yes, yes I did! This is not a dream. There are several Mansur Gavriel handbags to choose from both in stock, and available for pre-order, right now in December 2015. This means it is possible to purchase a Mansur Gavriel handbag as a holiday gift, Christmas Gift, or for yourself! Love this!

It is always so difficult to find a Mansur Gavriel bag in stock when you want one. It seems like every time the iconic bucket bag, hot new Lady Bag, or coveted cross body bag are in stock, they disappear before you can blink! Not this time! There is a huge re-stock just in time for Christmas and the holiday gift season. So whichever style you covet, or someone on your holiday gift list covets, it may very well be available for purchase right now! Now how’s that for  the perfect holiday gift idea!

The Mansur Gavriel bucket bag in stock right now is the ultimate IT bag. Not only has it been on the IT list for a couple of years now, Mansur Gavriel’s highly coveted drawstring bucket is becoming an icon; entering into the world of must-have classic handbags. If you do not have a fabulous bucket bag by Mansur Gavriel, now if the time to invest in one!

I have the large bucket bag by Mansur Gavriel in both black, and white. I love them so much! I find myself wearing the black one several times per week. I wear the white bag mostly in the spring, and summer months. The bucket bag fits so much! I usually carry my kids iPads, a wallet, sunglasses case, iPhone; and I can even stuff a blanket scarf in there! Talk about carrying everything and the kitchen sink!

I also own the small bucket bag in cammello. I love to carry it when I I don’t need to carry around so many things. It fits a novel, wallet, iPad mini, and more. I highly recommend owning at least one large, or one small, bucket bag. They are must haves!

Mansur Gavriel’s Lady Bag, which is available for pre-order right now, is also a new must-have. It is a great bag for the office, or more structured looks. It also works well with casual outfits. I love mine!

The cross body bag by Mansur Gavriel is also in stock for December 2015. I own two; one in red, and one in cammello. It is lightweight, easy to carry, matches everything, and fits perfectly into the saddle bag trend which is so hot on the runways right now. This too, is a must-have!

Can you believe I said Mansur Gavriel in stock December 2015 right now, on this very day? I did! Yay! Below is a shopping widget filled with Mansur Gavriel handbags which are either in stock right now, or available for pre-order. You can also find Mansur Gavriel in stock right now here, and here.

Dualitas jewelry

I love learning about new designers in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are such a culturally diverse, and politically complicated, section of the Earth; which I believe sparks incredible creativity when it comes to art, fashion, tech, and more! So when I learned about Dualitas jewelry, I was intrigued.

Dualitas is an amazing, emerging designer jewelry collection designed right here in the Bay Area, in Palo Alto. The jewelry has been designed for more than just fashion and art; it has been designed with each stone’s metaphysical properties, and their positive effects on the wearer, in mind. The result is amazing!

All of the pieces Dualitas has designed, are not only unique in design, many of them are designed so that the stones actually touche the wearer’s skin; thus allowing the positive metaphysical properties of the stone to transfer to the skin. Love that!

I was taken aback when I saw the beauty of each piece at Dualitas. The geometric designs are modern, and the choice of metals are fashion-forward. The stones are precious or semi-precious; and their natural  beauty shines through on each piece.

Many of the pieces offer cutting edge, modern styling, while some of the diamond pieces offer vintage, art deco styling which is breathtaking. My Dualitas wish list is a mile long!

If you are looking for a fine jewelry gift this holiday season, or an upscale fashion piece, then  Dualitas is the place to go! They have so many fabulous pieces which are perfect gifts for that very special someone on your list, or for yourself!

You can check out Dualitas collection online at Dualitas.com or pop into their Palo Alto store located at Town & Country Village, 855 El Camino Real, ste. 16.
