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.

The Haute List: C. Wonder
Have you checked out the new C. Wonder located at the Summit? Here are our top picks from the chic yet whimsical emporium:
Clothing: Because we love anything monogrammed, we chose the Intarsia Initial Crewneck sweater, available in six colors ($78). It’s perfect solo or with an oxford shirt layered underneath.
Jewelry: By now you also know we love blingtastic arm candy. So choosing this Pave Dome Studded cuff ($98) was a no-brainer.
Bags: Who couldn’t use a roomy but fashionable carry-all? This lightweight Nylon Easy Tote ($78) comes in six colors, has inside pockets and can be used as a diaper bag.
Shoes: Although we love our heels, and C. Wonder has some options in leopard and accented with glitter, treat your feet to a pair of Pebbled Leather Driving Mocs ($98), great with slacks, shorts and skirts.
Accessories: Baby, it’s cold outside! Keep those hands toasty with this pair of Tres Chic Cashmere Intarsia gloves ($58). And yes, you can still use your smartphone while wearing them!
Home & Decor: Gold accessories are a huge trend, so why not dress up your serving ware with it as well? These gold ikat Mini Appetizer Plates ($48), Dessert Plates ($48), and Coasters ($38) are perfect for serving your own guests, and would make snazzy hostess gifts as well. We’ll take this matching Tea for One set ($38), too!

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.

If I have to explain to you why Rihanna’s AMAs hairstyle is a haute mess, you’re reading the wrong blog. Ladies and gentlemen, never appear in public – or accept an award – in a doobie wrap, rollers or bedtime head scarf of any sort.
I don’t care how bedazzled they are.
