What A Girl Wants...Holiday Gift Picks

We know what you're saying...please spare us, not another gift guide! Oh yes, we just had to let you know about all of the fabulous gifts you should be getting that special fashionista in your life. So here goes...

For the trend setter shop for modern clothing and accessories - stand out items like this Boma Sodalite Necklace ($32.50) or a brightly colored handbag ($39):
Does your gal have an artsy, bohemian style? Try voluspa candles, art lessons or a whimsical printed top like the Skinny Minnie Morning Glory top ($32):Is her style urban and modern? How about a soft Rebecca Beeson Tank Top ($32) and pair of wide legged trousers ($29) or a cool graphic top like the Copper Key Super V from Heavy Tees (?
Do you have a cozy creature who prefers to stay wrapped in blankets and sweats all day? She'll appreciate a wrap jersey dress ($49) or soft pajamas ($46.80): Is your gal the sporty type who won't be caught dead in a dress? How about karate lessons, yoga wear, or a great graphic hoodie ($24)? Is she as green as green can be? For the earth conscience mama, check out global girlfriend, plant a tree in her name, or try these eco-friendly green cotton asian wrap jammies from Garnet Hill ($68).The vintage and thrifty chic is never hard to please and good finds abound. Check out The Olive Shop, try a vintage cocktail ring or evening bag , floaty skirt or a Metallic Thread Evening Coat($68) :

If the lady is classy and refined, there is no better gift than a cashmere cardigan sweater ($160) or strand of pearls ($119) - a gift that will stand the test of time:

Is your gal a new momma? How about a baby sling, a home cooked meal or a babysitting coupon for a night out . Or a pair of super comfy Beyond Yoga Pants ($72) that can be worn post-pregnancy:
For the girl who has everything there is always something unique and thoughtful to give - how about these handcrafted mignonette earrings of blue topaz and white gold $935 (hey, we can all dream can't we?):

If Lovin' You is Wrong...I Don't Want to be Right

When Lady Language first entered the world of blogging we had no idea what to expect. We assumed it was a good way to interact with our customers in a social setting and have some fun. As we celebrate our first year anniversary, we would like to thank all of our wonderful customers and fellow bloggers. We have found many inspirations and have met many great friends in the past year. We promise we will update our blog roll in the next few months to reflect this because so many of you deserve a shout out. But now, we would like to share just a few of our biggest inspirations over the last year:

Chic Chemise - Susan is a grad student who authors this blog about t-shirts. I can't recall how we stumbled upon her, but we liked the name and the look. She was one of the first to give us some linky love (before we really knew what it was). If you are in search of good tee finds, check it out. And thank you Susan for making us feel loved when we were first lost in the blogging world!

Painfully Hip - Amber and Eve introduced us to the hipper world of blogging by featuring some of our Summer 2007 dresses on their blog (they commented that our boutique name sounded like a lesbian romance novel - hence, a beautiful friendship was born). These gals are are the real deal, honest, hard working ladies who deserve your attention. Amber is a good friend and has done a lot of graphic work for us and she totally rocks (good thing we're friends, otherwise we would be stalking her).

(Speaking of stalking) lets talk about Daddy Likey - Winona be her name, fun and fashion be her game. She is simply divine and one of the few bloggers that make us curl up on the floor begging for mercy because we can't stop laughing. She had us at layering (unfortunately I can no longer find this blog post and am feeling as if it may have been a dream?).

The Bag Snob - is an insightful snob who dangles expensive luxury handbags in front of our computer strained eyes on an almost a daily basis. Look no further to learn all there is to know about the world of fashionable (and expensive) handbags - drooling optional.

Dosh Dosh - is the premier blog about making money online. Maki's fresh insight and wisdom have been a huge resource to our business . His star shines brighter than Mars in August. My current hero.

And so many other bloggers that blow our minds with their writing and worldly wisdom. We have found that blogging is like reading a great novel full of undiscovered experiences, opinions and unchartered territory. We are happy to be a part of it.

The party look for less...Much less

Shop Bop has fabulous wears, no doubt. But the prices always send me into sticker shock.

Check out my latest find.

Lady Language has a very similar Platinum Party dress for a fraction of the look-a-like Strappy Bow Dress at Shop Bop.

Celebrating Our First Year

I wanted to thank a fellow blogger, Don Simkovich, for taking the time to write about our store on his business blog. We are lucky enough to truly enjoy what we do and are celebrating our first year in the e-commerce world. Read more about how we got started in the e-commerce biz at Don's blog.
