On my list: Black & White striped dress shirt a la Stella Jean
After watching a few Stella Jean interviews on youtube and checking out her past seasons I know I NEED a striped dress shirt in my life. I did a search on rewardstyle and the first style to come up was in the men's section at Macy's by Alfani for ONLY $22! It's a slim fit and I will be trying it as soon as I set foot in the states:)

Gift Guide: The gifts that work for pretty much anyone...they are that good:)
This is a little something for everyone in your life that you haven't already seen everywhere:
Instacube
I love the idea of not having to upload anything to view pics of things going on in your life! Welcome, the modern and chic device that does just that! Great digital picture frame for your home, grandparents, or anyone who loves to view pictures of what's going on.
Jord Wood Watch
Men and women alike love a timepiece and they are turning into trendy accessories that go beyond just a silver or gold band that tells time. These are statement pieces that give a nod to the type of person wearing them. Now, I love the Jord Wood Watch for just that. It is a true statement with it's unique wooden band that leans toward the boho vibe, earthy type person in your life. P.S. I spy a #rosegold style they did't have before! This is NICE!:)
SOL REPUBLIC PUNK Wireless Speaker
Travel much? This is perfect for a hotel room that doesn't offer a speaker to connect with your mobile phone or MP3 player to listen and get ready to while you are traveling. Or, lets say while you are sitting at the beach or pool and want to share your jams:) It's all done wirelessly via Bluetooth and I LOVE it! It's small and convenient to carry on. Water, dust and shock resistant. Extra bonus...for every $50 spent with this company a $1 donation is given to Children's Cancer Association.
SOL REPUBLIC RELAYS In-Ear Headphones
This is perfect for someone in your life that is all about working out! These stay put and the sound is AMAZING! They stay put even after an hour of full on sweating!:)
Mai Couture
These are the BEST blotting papers! They are BRILLIANT! You can use them for blotting bronzer on and getting a quick glow at the end of the day...or, of course to blot the sweat of your face:) Plus, they have added bonuses like revitalizing blotters with lavender, or Vitamin A & E...or ones to help with acne! They have it all! These are perfect for a lady on the go...or just anyone really! And, the wallet makes it a perfect gift or stocking stuffer!

Mischa Barton back with a tragedy for India: Bhopal Prayer for Rain
Such a scary story! It will be interesting to watch this film since I have been to Bhopal twice now and didn't know anything about this.
On a fashion side note: I haven't seen Mischa in awhile! Hoping her acting is as good as the clothes I have seen so far. I will have to have some linen safari suits made like for the rest of my time in India!

The Muzungu Sisters just went to Dubai and I got some fab tips for where to go and what to do when I go! Check it out:
Here are a few great things to try out in Dubai besides the main sites I'm sure you know about:
-Have dinner at Peppercrab in the Hyatt hotel. The best Singapore-style crab! Make sure you order the Golden crab or live mud crab in black pepper sauce (with the shell because it's much more fun to go for it yourself!)

- Go to Kitesurfing beach (behind Sunset Mall in Jumeirah 3) for a chilled beach day, The water is great there unlike in some of the more built up parts of Dubai. Take your own Muzungu Sisters sarong to lie down on.
Gone swimming 👙 kaftan and Indian sandals on muzungusisters.com #followthesun #muzungusisters #dubaiA photo posted by Muzungu Sisters (@muzungusisters) on
-Visit Deira and the Dubai Creek for a taste of how charming old Dubai was when the dhow trade was central to the emirate's existence.
-Check out Socialista boutique in Sunset Mall (Jumeirah 3) and Boutique 1 on JBR Walk. They have all the main European and US brands but you can usually find some pieces not easily found anywhere else.
- Order heavenly white chocolate lavender cookies from Dulce D bakery orders@dulcedbaker.
-Have a burger at Elevation Burger (all organic grass-fed burgers with their special sauce) to compare to the now ubiquitous Shake Shack and decide which one you prefer!
