Alexis Bittar

His collection of lucite and metal jewelry has always been a favorite of mine. Gift yourself or someone special at 20% off.

Michael Aram

Saving 25% on some of the most stylish home goods around is always fun. The above is from the new Safari collection. The candles make the loveliest gifts. Well, it all does.

Shoes

Nothing is more fun than visiting the Saks 5th Avenue Store in NYC and shopping their selections. It's almost overwhelming, in the best of ways. Today you can save 25% on Stuart Weitzman, Coach, Cole Haan, Schutz, and so many more.

Lafco NY Home Scents

You will love these clean burning candles. The scents are fabulous! Think Magnolia, Sea & Dune, Cilantro & Orange and many more unique fragrances. I love the candle containers!

Cinq a Sept

If you haven't tried this brand I highly recommend the blazers. I love my Khloe style in black crepe. May have to venture out into a color for spring.

The Laundress

By now, I think you know of my love affair with this brand of cleaning products. This is the time to try them at 25% off with free shipping!

Sure Saks carries all of the "it bags and brands," but they also feature brands like Gigi New York, Botkier, Coach.  and Nancy Gonzales. Save 25% on so many new Spring arrivals.

Evening Wear

If you have a spring soiree coming up, now would be a smart time to shop for your look. Save on brands like Marchesa Notte, Theia, Badgley Mischka, Halston, just to name a few.  

Dear Annabelle

Having discovered this brand last year, I am excited to see that Saks carries them. Their stationery styles are so whimsical, modern, and ever so stylish. I appreciate the ability to save 25%!

Luxury Seasonal Scents For The Home

 

As the cold weather is about to settle in, it's time to create a cozy comforting corner in your home. A crackling fire, a good book, a cocktail or coffee along with a really good candle, sounds good, doesn't it? Treat yourself or someone on your gift list. These are some of the very nicest candles money can buy. Get into a merry mood!

Absolute Candles

"The new Absolute Collection, which harnesses the power of highly concentrated fragrance oils known as absolutes to create an exquisitely aromatic experience that is uniquely true to nature." And can we talk about the hand blown candle holders? With natural fragrance like orange blossom, lavender flower, clary sage and more, you can't go wrong.

Lafco New York

Ginori Black Stone Scented Tealight Candles

Very unique and something I would love! These tealights do not smell like black stones, thank goodness. Instead they draw their influence from a crackling fireplace. They are formulated with Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Patchouli and musk for a slightly spicy aroma. I love the packaging, too.

A wonderful splurge.

Net-a-Porter

Illume Candles North Sky

A new candle this season. It's a noble fragrance that sparkles with notes of citrus, festive fir, and fresh berries. A little birch and ebony woods grounds the scent. Delightful, and a chic container.

Bloomingdale's

Moroccan Forest Candles

Handmade in Marrakech, these candles evoke a walk in the woods. I love the hammered brass jar. It is so global chic! I would most certainly use these in my home.

Jason Home

Lladro 1001 Lights

This candle gets my vote for the most unique. A sure winning gift for the lladro collector! Other colors available, but the scent remains the same ~ "Night Approaches." It features very special ingredients such as blackcurrant, lotus flower, and other ingredients that represent the magic of the night and the full moon.

Bergdorf Goodman

Diptyque Feu de Bois 

 "For the festive season, the candle appears in a 600g format, in a pot of grey enamelled porcelain. As the flame flickers, smell the dense, smoky fragrance of logs slowly burning. And throughout the home: an air of enchantment."

Diptyque or Nordstrom

Nest New York Holiday

A classic set that features the quintessential fragrance of the season. The scent features pomegranate, mandarin orange, pine, cloves, and a hint of vanilla. I received the diffuser reeds last year. They last forever.

Nest New York

Jonathan Adler Hashish Candle

4o hours of burn time won't be quite enough of this tempting taboo scent. Consider it earthy but couture. Once the candle burns out, the porcelain container makes a perfect stash box. You know who to give this to, right?

Jonathan Adler

Farmhouse Pottery Vermont Candle

These candles are inspired by the Winter Solstice. Simple in design and true in fragrance.  Choose the scent, pine or fir.

Lulu & Georgia

Cire Trudon Gloria 

This new scent evokes carols and children's choirs. Any one of the candles warms the room with the scent of firewood, vetivre, cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus and more. They make an exquisite gift.

Saks Fifth Avenue.   Or  Neiman Marcus

Jo Malone

This is one of Jo Malone's festive favorites, Orange Bitters. Sweet and bitter orange combine on a base of rich sandalwood and amber to create a luscious scent. Her candles and scents are so fabulous, you'll swear that you have sprayed perfume in the air. 

Jo Malone London  or Bloomingdales's

Costa Brazil Jungle Candle
Love this. The candle promises to fill any space with the lush scents of the Amazon rainforest. The fragrance has also been blended with sacred Breu resin, which is often used in purifying rituals. The beautiful container is engraved with the words "Shine in Nature."

Net-A- Porter

Acqua Di Parma X Emilio Pucci

Select this candle for your most fashionable friend. It's a limited edition that will dress and scent the home with style.  The scent: "balsamic notes of pine oil and scents of birch and guaiac woods combined with spicy accents of clove and the pungent hint of raspberry." Sounds rich and as if it smells expensive.
