Support area charities by shopping AmazonSmile
Cyber-shopping today at Amazon.com? Give a gift that keeps on giving by using the AmazonSmile program. This program allows *eligible purchases to benefit the eligible 501(c)(3) public charitable organization of your choice (at no cost to you!) by donating 5% of your eligible purchase price (minus any gift-wrapping, shipping or service charges, rebates and taxes). And no, you can’t then deduct this from your taxes.
When you log in (by clicking HERE), choose an eligible organization and get to shopping; you can change your charity at any time. There are over a million organizations to choose from, and many from the Birmingham-area are listed. Support the spotlighted charity noted, or find the local organization of your choice by entering “Birmingham, AL” (or whatever other search criteria you prefer) in the “Or pick your own charitable organization” field and see just who could benefit from an AmazonSmile donation.
Learn more by clicking HERE.
Happy shopping!
*”Eligible purchases” are marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on product detail pages.

Ask Alexis: Where can I find Olivia Pope’s white coat?
Darlings, if you’ve been looking for fabulous white coats similar to those worn by Scandal’s Olivia Pope, IT’S HANDLED!

Since Kerry Washington is expecting, I hope she’ll break out something especially amazing and over-the-top to cover her bump, like this voluminous, scultptural Armani Collezioni Wool Drop Shoulder Coat in antique, $2675 at Saks.
Happy shopping!
We’re obsessed with…
…this Grande Crystal Drops necklace, from J. Crew (now $139.99).
Had Mathilde Loisel – heroine of Guy de Maupassant’s classic short story The Necklace – known such affordable luxury existed, it might have literally changed her life (if you are unfamiliar with the short story, enjoy the recorded version below).
If you have champagne taste on a seltzer budget (or if you simply like well-made, unique accessories at great prices), J. Crew offers unique pieces which add fabulous touches to the simplest of ensembles without breaking the bank, and this exquisite statement necklace is very special.

Uh oh…
Someone’s got a new “hobby”…this is either going to be a lot of fun or a HAUTE MESS. Stay tuned!
Best dressed: Regina Hall in Lorena Sarbu
We are in absolute love with this candy apple red lace jumpsuit Regina Hall rocked at The Best Man Holiday premiere in Hollywood. There’s something so 1970’s-glam about a jumpsuit, and they’re so easy to wear! The peekaboo lace accent, proportions and color are just right in this pick form Lorena Sarbu’s Resort 2014 collection.
Be sure to check out The Best Man Holiday as it opens in theaters nationwide tonight. I saw it earlier this week at a Power 102.1 sneak preview, and without giving away any details I’ll just say I loved it! I think it’s what The Big Chill may have meant to a previous generation.

We’re obsessed with…
…this leopard foldover clutch by Clare Vivier. *Sigh*
We live for all things leopard…and this calf hair clutch is the perfect way to inject a little fierce kitty chic into your wardrobe. Animal print can be considered a “new neutral”, and you can carry this with virtually ANY color and still be on point.
If animal print is not your thing, Vivier’s clutches come in a ton of other finishes and are a luxe addition to your handbag collection.
