Deirdre — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:18:17 +0000

It has been a long time since we photographed our favorite intern turned merch assisant Gigi so today we dragged her onto the street. Below is a G- Chat we had with Ms G where she describes her look:

Blog: How would you describe your look?

Gigi: hmmmm good question

Blog: How would you describe your pants?

Gigi: It's definitely structural lol

Blog: True.. how do you feel in that jacket?

Gigi: I feel pretty bold in the jacket

Blog: Like butt kicking Pat Benatar bold. Sum up your look in a few quick words

Gigi: Well let's see... It's an updated 80s inspired fall look. I don't normally wear pink, but I think the coral shade suits the fall season and my usually flushed cheeks.

Blog: Well put! Thanks!

Several luxury manufacturers want you to have a Swarovski studded holiday. Montante Bike Company based in Italy has whipped up an exquisite bike for your pedaling pleasure. The bike features a coating of gold leaf, a python leather seat and details, plus 8,000 Swarovski crystals.

Russian "ice dancer" Anastasia Grebenkina has developed a line of ice skates drenched in Swarovski cyrstals for the non professional skater who just wants to sparkle in the rink. There are 15 styles of hand decorated skates to choose from all with a sweet animal theme.

At Exquisit24, it is not your tree that counts this December 25th but your tree stand. Exquisit24's Swarovski studded Christmas tree stand is not guaranteed to make your tree look more festive, but it will make your wallet much lighter at a whopping $14,770.

Taylor Swift is a doll, literally. The teenage country music superstar has had a fantastic year despite the slam job Kanye West served up during the MTV Video Music Awards. "The past year has been like a wonderful dream," said Swift. "To have a successful doll is like the icing on the cake." There are 3 dolls in the collection all wearing an outfit plucked from one of Swift's videos and of course each toy comes with a guitar and hair brush. Each doll also sings a 30 second highlight of one of Swift's hit songs. The dolls are made by JAKKS Pacific and retail for $19.99.
