My best wishes go out to you all for a very happy and healthy 2010! May all your dreams come true!!!! xoxoxo Laura M. Chanel Fall 2009 (this has to be my #1 fav:-) Diane Von Furstenberg Spring 2009 Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 Nanette Lepore Fall 2009 Chloe Fall 2009 Gucci Spring 2009 Irina Shabayeva for INC (she was the winner of Project Runway season 6 in case you didn't know)

This is super cool designer Naeem Khan showing off his super sparkly affordable collection made for HSN. His high end collections can be found at prestigious retailers such at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue.

I just thought you would like to gaze at these gorgeous sketches by my new favorite artist Danny Roberts. I just discovered his creations when surfing the net and I must own not just one. The t-shirt that he has created is also so very chic even for a girl who doesn't usually wear t-shirts (like me;-) His pieces are available at http://www.dannyroberts.etsy.com/ . You can also follow his very beautiful blog http://www.igorandandre.blogspot.com/ . I highly encourage it.

The eyes are always the first thing you see when you say hello to someone or when you meet someone for the first time. Why not get straight to the point and express yourself with a pair of false eyelashes! They may not be acceptable in your everyday life, so New Years Eve is the perfect time to have fun and experiment! Shu Uemura is well known for their hand crafted false eyelashes. www.shuuemura.com

2010 is almost here. I can't believe that another year has just passed me by! Well, I am determined to concentrate on the present and look to the future. That's why it is important that I find something fabulous to wear on New Years Eve! (that's in the future and shopping for it is in the present:-) This New years Eve think SPARKLE. It is so much fun to dazzle in the night lights. Buy some glitter for your face and eyelids. Wear a sequin top with your favorite jeans. Carry a metallic handbag. This is not a night to be shy ladies. Let loose and make it memorable! Here are some great pieces that will make you shine for the last few hours of 2009. Log on to my Laura's Style fan page on Facebook to view my Shine In The New Year photo album.

MAY YOUR DAY BE MERRY AND BRIGHT! XOXOXOXOXOXO~ Laura M.

On Christmas eve a special gift was purchased for the fashion fanatic. It was something she did not ask for, something she would never get herself, but it is as unique as her and she will wear it for years to come. This ID bracelet that you can have engraved with her initials from Garland Collection will really make her believe in miracles**************-) Available at http://www.garlandcollection.com/ or call 310-820-2605 to order yours right away $1250. At this rate you won't get it for Christmas, but you will make her New Year Happy that's for sure!

On the 23rd day of December I received this gorgeous Dior Cristal Boreal Gloss Pendant made with Swarovski crystals. It was inspired by the Aurore Boreale Crystal that was originally created by Swarovski when asked by Christian Dior himself to create a crystal that mimicked the reflections of the sunlight going through the Galerie des Glaces in Versailles. I look forward to displaying this pendant around my neck every day. And now I know that my gloss is never far away! Dior Cristal Boreal Gloss Pendant $80 available on http://www.nordstrom.com/

On the 22nd day of December I needed to buy something unique for the girl that has everything. Easy! I just created a scent for her at http://www.scentcrafters.com/ . You just pick her favorite scent and then they provide suggestions based on that scent. You can choose their suggestions or pick all the scents yourself! You can choose up to five scents to make your final fragrance. After you have chosen all your scents, you then choose a bottle style and then a logo (which is optional.) Then you just check out and they ship out your order! So fun and so easy and sooooo unique for the lady that already has it all:-) 3.4oz $34.99

On the 20 th day of December I received this beautiful Gilded Goldfinch Necklace from http://www.modcloth.com/ $17. It reminds me of the spring days that will eventually be here again.

On the 20th day of December I received a compliment on my perfume from a perfect stranger. I told her what I was wearing and she replied "I used to wear that!" Sometimes with all the new fragrances out there we forget about the old. I ended up purchasing another bottle to give as a gift. Lauren is Ralph Lauren's original scent. A light bouquet of green florals warmed with rich woods and rare spices. A good old fashioned smell that we don't want to forget! Available at Macy's 4.0 oz $65

On the 18th day of December I was feeling so cozy just lazing around the house in my husband's flannel shirt. I realize this is not the most fashionable thing, but it is warm! That is why I went to the Gap and bought one of their lovely ruffle front plaid shirts for ladies. Still cozy, just a little more feminine. Most importantly, acceptable to be seen worn in public:-) Available at Gap $49.50
