Or I can always go with the safe gift card right? Well I searched for weeks to find things I thought could be fun, easy, different, and not too expensive! So here are my top picks hope you love and share with others these products because they to could use some help figuring out that big question of the month! So I hope you enjoy and like just as much as I do! I got to share my picks with ABC4 Utah today on TV The Daily Dish. Please refer to my video here! Happy Shopping.

MUST HAVE TEEN GIFTS TOP PICKS…..

SPECK ELECTRONIC ACCESSORIES!

They carry so many amazing colors and patterned covers for your iPhone, iPads, iTouches, and the list goes on! They are amazing with their pricing and my most favorite is their new Handy Shell iPad 2 case. It has this awesome multifunction handle for a firm grip on the go! So I can hang it up on a hook on my fridge and watch how to cook my favorite dessert without it being dirty on my counter. If you know me I do not cook and it would be all over my iPad being a hot mess! But not anymore I get to hang it up with the cool handle that not only helps hang my iPad it protects it and you can turn it and use it to stand it straight up as well. It’s sleek hard shell with extended bevel for screen protection is also a plus in my book! You have to get this for your teen because we all know how much they love their iPads and this can help them not break it with its amazing shell case!

They also have some fun ToughShell hardcore protection for a tough teen world. This new iPhone case is a must on your list for your teens phone this year. No parent wants to deal with broken screens. This also is a one piece gaskets design, it has this flip belt clip out to use as a stand to prop up their phones! This case just rocks as my pick for a super amazing hardcore teen case cover.

This is what they have to say about their CandyShell Collection I love! “In the CandyShell collection, we treat you to delicious details like folding kickstand, built-in cardholders, and easy-grip finger pads for your favorite gadgets. Combined with a slim, sleek design, these goodies will have you craving CandyShell. It’s okay to give in – you deserve it.”

You carry it right there on your wrist. Pop-in and pop-out design makes it nice for your everyday on the go life style. They come in all sorts of styles and colors so it makes it fun to dress up any outfit. Hex is all about style, as a stylist these caught my eye to recommend to all my clients.

AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS COLD PLAY SHOP TECH-CESSORIES

They are adding some fun accessories to their store this season. I thought these were so cute….for both boys and girls. These cute Ear Bud Ear Muffs allow your teen to rock harder and stay warm at the same time. Here in Utah this would be super necessary! On the bus I wish I could have had these. Looking cute, stylish, and warm? I mean it doesn’t get anymore practical then this! Great Job American Eagle I love these, because they come in so many different colors and patterns to compliment every girl and boys sense of expression of taste! Love all must buy! Price you ask? Amazing..retail for only $19.50! They even have a microphone built-in on the wire! This is a dream for us cold weather chicks out here! When ever there is a product that I can say warm and style in the same sentence, I want to jump for joy because it’s truly the best thing ever!

Then their other pot of gold pick I love is the Striped Texting Gloves. These are a must as well to be fully functioning as a teenagers and stay warm. It is the worst when I am standing there cold in a snow storm and I have to text a friend and I have to pull off my glove to feel that burning cold as I hit my phone to text. I am so numb that I am not even sure if my finger it touching the screen. Totally messes up my whole text! So what is amazing is they come in many different colors and now again staying stylish and warm come hand in hand with the Texting Glove from American Eagle a must buy this year. Stocking stuffer is calling your name. They retail for $15.50, Go shop them now here! Happy shopping! Here are some pics you can see some of their styles.

THE SKATECYCLE

What boy or girl would not love this when they can’t get snow 365 days a year? I know this will be the hot item. It is new on the market and doing amazing! This is not a jump and go product like snowboarding it requires a dedicated day to learn the basics but then like everything it just clicks! This company is from Brooklyn NY and had done an amazing job with finding a unique way to make our kids love adventure. A must buy it retails for $149.95 which I thought was an amazing deal!

Monday Giveaway!! Amazing Leather Feather Black Belt!

By jenclydestylist | November 28, 2011 | Uncategorized | 5 Comments

Well it’s that time again, monday’s bring us amazing style, designs, and brands who are kind of enough to giveaway something amazing to you, my fans! So this week it’s all about the belt! Belts are so major right now and they are becoming more popular by the minute. I love finding really unique designers that showcase on Etsy. This designer is amazing and this black feather leather belt I just fell in love with when I was researching designers. My heart melted and I knew I needed to showcase her and the designs she has created. Here is some more info on her and what you can win this week! Makes a perfect gift! You can also visit her store online now here!

YOU CAN WIN THIS AMAZING BLACK FEATHER BELT: PERFECT WITH SO MUCH AND FOR SO MANY REASONS! UNIQUE YOU CAN’T MISS!

TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF AND DESIGNS:

1.What is your vibe like for your designs?

I’m not sure how other people perceive them, but what I try to make are simple, uncluttered, well-constructed and fresh accessories, while using beautiful materials.

2. How did you get into designing? have you always loved to create?

I followed a quite formal path, I went to art school. I studied fashion design and then I started my own brand of fashion accessories. I felt that accessories suit me better; they have a certain degree of independence from the human body and can be seen rather as objects – sometimes art objects.

3. What makes your designs stand out? and why should people buy handmade?

It could be that people like my work because of the « less is more » effect, but who knows…

Why buy handmade: I buy handmade because I like the thought that someone had an idea and took the time and trouble to transform it into the object I’m holding. It is like holding a small piece of someone else’s soul. It also means connection.

best regards,

Veronica

She is coming at ya all the way from Belgium and sells her designs on Etsy. You can shop now! Here is a taste of some of her other designs you may just love and have to buy as well. Buy here!

“You can choose to keep it your secret or build your look or outfit around it”

Well, I won’t deny that the brand has a certain sex appeal, but it certainly transcends being just sexy. Perhaps the confusion comes around how to wear your Marlies Dekkers. Naturally, those infamous and intricate criss crossing straps are worth showing off! However, Marlies Dekkers is designed to be worn in whatever way makes you feel comfortable, confident, and sexy!

For some women, that’s showing a little, for others it is showing a lot, and for others, it’s all about having your own little secret. Whatever way you choose to wear your Marlies, know that you will be wearing it well because the fit is impeccable.

To show it off or not show it off? That is the question! The answer is up to you.

Glam it Up!

By jenclydestylist | November 18, 2011 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

How do I glam up outfits you ask? Well there are a few ways. But here is one. Sequins! I know you’re probably thinking I’m crazy. But sequins really are super amazing when worn correctly. You have to be careful with the sequins that you buy because some sequin items can look very cheap and make your whole outfit look cheap. Try to stick to one sequined item at a time, like a cardigan or a tank, or if you’re feeling really bold sequin pants! Wear your sequins with neutral colors and flowy fabrics so you don’t over do it! Don’t be shy! Glam it up…you won’t regret it I promise!
