Christmas gift ideas for parents



Don’t you love winter? First of all, the holiday (if you’re a student, you know what I’m talking about). Then it’s the snow, the city lights, the Christmas ornaments, the carols, the feeling you have when you’re with your family and friends, but most of all, the gifts. It’s easy to buy gifts for friends, but what about parents ? I for one I have no idea what to buy for my parents for Christmas. Like every year! Maybe some of you are in the same situations as me. So I’ve been thinking to write an article to help you with your shopping list. It quite simple actually. Ask yourself this ‘What would my mother and father NEED?’ Of course their answer will be ‘ I don’t need anything. I just wanna be healthy’, but we all know if you still bring them a gift, their hearts are pounding.  So, here’s our list for Christmas gift ideas for parents.

Let’s begin with gift ideas for HIM ( it’s easier).

1. A tie

Any man needs a tie. Wearing it on work, or for an important meeting, on a wedding party etc., this gift will sure bring a smile on your father’s face. Even if he has 100 of these, one more is always welcomed.

2. A watch

A watch is an important accessory, not only to women, but to men too.

3. A perfume

A perfume is always a good gift, not only for Christmas. A good thing about buying a perfume is that you have a countless choices, depending on your father’s taste.

4. A pair of sunglasses

Although a pair of sunglasses is usually seen as a summer accessory, we all know how uncomfortable can be a bright sun reflected on the white snow.

5. An aftershave set

I think this should cover your shopping list for him. Let’s see now what you could buy for her.

1. A perfume

It’s my favorite item from the Christmas gift ideas for parents list. With all my heart I recommend you Poeme Fragance for Women. It’s a little expensive, but it’s worth all the money.

2. Jewelry

Accessories are women’s powerful weapon. Even if you’ll buy her a pair of earings, a ring, a bracelet, or a neckale, all will make your mother happy and definitely she will wear your gift.

3. A handbag

A very important accessory for women, handbags come in different size, shapes and colors. But I think we all agree that the bigger, the better. That way, we can put all our stuff in there. Lipstick, mirror, hair brush, wallet, agenda, phone, iPad, etc etc.

4. High heels

If your mother is a person of low stature and she loves to wear high heels, then definitely she NEEDS this item and should be #1 from this Christmas gift ideas list.

5. A photo album

What mother doesn’t want to have pictures with her son/daughter? If you’re study abroad, you can give her a photo album filled with photos of you. That way, you’ll be in the same house with her, even if actually you’re miles away.

I know you’re looking for the top trends for Fall-Winter 2014, so here’s what we think is in style!
I love autumn days when the sun brings so much peace and the nature is full of amazing colors that make me smile.  Even if this autumn is so generous with us , the winter will come sooner or later, that’s sure. Let’s find out what are the most powerful colors on the next season. Make sure to buy at least two of these for your fall-winter collection.
Here are the Trends For Fall-Winter 2014 collection !
Navy Blue
Dark, intense and classic, navy blue is the new black next season. Want to know which is the next winter’s standout color? The world of fashion has been adapted to this amazing dark blue made famous by the British Royal Navy.  Wear it head-to-toe, as seen at Chloé and Céline, or as a heavy, men’s coat.

Exotic furs
The must-have fur coat for next winter comes straight from the wild in-pop colors with grunge and disco flares. The usual black and white furs were dipped in fluorescent paints and bleached in acid, furs goes two-tone and tricolor.

Tweed
Next season is about elegance and reinventing various forms. Under the legendary influence of Coco Chanel, who feminized the typically masculine fabric, designers created looks in the carded, flexible material at  Haider Ackermann, Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana.

Checks
From green checks, to blue, red and black plaid, this season the clan beckons as everything from the traditional to the modern appeared printed with  plaids, checks and Scottish tartan. Think grunge at Saint Laurent and masculine at Céline and Stella McCartney for a hint at how designers gave the kilt fabric their own inspirational twist.

Night Owl
Typically a couture embellishment, the ostrich feather appeared for Fall/Winter 2013-2014 in a ready-to-wear version. Soft and light, it punctuated each silhouette with elegance and grace, adding luxury to gowns and separates alike.

Leathery heights
As seen at the fashion shows, leather -coated legs in thigh-high boots and slick stockings is one of the essential trends for Fall/Winter 2014. Suede folk versions and smooth leather .

Grunge
Take a hint of punk, add a little rock, some heavy metal and you’ll have the deliberately grungy appeal of the looks that hit the runway.  Leather, plaid shirts and mesh stockings.

Metallic mesh
Seen at Chloé,Anthony Vaccarello and Paco Rabbanne, a medieval trend has been developed, featuring armor-inspired mesh pieces.  Far from weighing down the look, this mesh delicately dresses the legs and chest, hiding parts of the female body. But it’s revealing others.

Chinese Laundry Spring 2014 Collection - What to Expect This Coming Season

By Adriana Davalos

Being a shoe fanatic I was ecstatic to hear about my invitation to preview Chinese Laundry's Spring 2014 collection. Chinese Laundry is known for being Donald Trump's Miss Universe Pageant Official Shoe Sponsor and with my Miss California Latina State Pageant coming around the corner I thought this would be the perfect chance to get ideas of what type of fashion forward shoes would be perfect for my competition weekend.

Miss Los Angeles Latina 2013 and Journalist, Adriana Michelle 
Davalos in C.Luce for the preview
Arriving at the shoe previewing at Fingerprint Communications in Culver City, I noticed that Kristin Cavallari, former cast member of MTV The Hills Series and wife to Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, is making waves with her partnership with the brand.
Kristin Cavallari collection
Cavallari's line includes pumps, flats, and booties in colors such as whites, reds, creams, blacks, blues, yellows, and taupes. Materials such as suedes, leathers, and  meshes conclude her Spring collection.

Chinese Laundry
The Copertina Colbat Blue suede pumps were the first to catch my attention and surprisingly, I ended leaving the collection preview with fabulous suede flats that fit me perfectly. Yes, a perfect pair of 5'1/2 Chinese Laundry's "Easy Does It" Black Suede Flats came home with me and even though I may not be able to compete in them during my pageant festivities, I can still wear them out for a day of shopping comfortably at The Grove.

"Easy Does It" Black Suede Flats
You can pick up your own Easy Does Its in colors of your choice and pair them with any outfit. Easy slip on and soft suede detail make this an ideal flat for work, brunch with your favorite girlfriends, or a day of shopping during this holiday season.
"Easy Does It" Black Suede Flats
Pair them with printed ankle length skinnies and an oversized sweater or with a pair of cuffed shorts and boyfriend blazer and you'll have the perfect 'Easy Does It' look any day of the week.

Noon By Noor Spring 2014 Collection Review - Blooming Beauties

By Laura Cochran Nay

Lincoln Center was all a buzz after the Noon by Noor runway show by fashionistas and media alike. The cousin designers, Shaikha Noor and Shaikha Haya drew inspiration from their home of Bahrain for this collection. Inspired by The Tree of Life, a natural wonder for its age, beauty and endurance. The Tree of Life is a mystery due to its survival in the barren desert with no known source of water. The designers looked to the natural beauty in the world incorporating botanical elements into their Spring 2014 collection.

Ladylike peplum and midi length pencil skirts showed off a more
 serious side of the designers
Staying true to their previous two collections shown at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, Noon by Noor showed their playful and young side as they opened the show to the summer’s hottest song, “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke. Flirty and lively printed separates showed a younger side to this collection known to be loved by front row maven, Solange Knowles. The designers’ ability to mix colors, patterns, and fabrics keeps it contemporary enough for young it girls while wearing the pieces separately will certainly give it some extra longitude for the workplace. They offset the vibrant colors like tangerine and blush with lilac and plum to balance the collection. Funky oversized palm prints in crop tops and jumpsuits gave reference to the Tree of Life.

Playful palm prints in crop tops and separates were all the rage

The collection exuded elegance and femininity with embellished silks and chiffon rosette appliqués. The attention to detail was overwhelming in person. Lace mixed with leather added even more luxury to the collection creating the perfect balance of sporty and sophistication.
Embellishments and chiffon rosettes in bold colors like tangerine
 and navy ended the show

Noon by Noor took everyone by surprise when they delved into eveningwear with a show-stopping gown fit for a ball. Covered in chiffon rosettes of ivory and navy, this two–piece gown created a frenzy of camera flashes. Referencing their playful side once again, their ball gown was trendy enough with a cropped top. The hair and makeup was pristine and ladylike with perfect waves topped off with fresh faces.

This Spring 2014 collection by Noon by Noor is sure to continue the designer duo’s catapult to stardom.  It struck the perfect balance of timeless chic and trendy must haves that will be seen all over come this spring.
