Christmas is 13 days away and I put together a holiday gift guide for those who still don’t know what get their female loved ones. I know we are still in a recession so I wanted to pick out gifts that I know us ladies will love and plus be affordable without breaking your pockets. There are tons of gift sets under $50 dollars that I found at stores like Bath and Body Works, Betsey Johnson, and Sephora etc. Gifts cards is also a great idea If your not sure what to get your family or friends. I hope this holiday gift guide helps you pick out the perfect gift for that special someone.

QUEENS brings us their 2011 Winter Collection. If you don’t know what QUEENS is let me give you a background information about them.

Queens is founded and led by Rose Raflores, a young woman who wants to provide an alternative perspective to independent culture through fashion. “I want to offer the ladies in Vancouver a different style where you can be bold, wear lots of gold, and rock a men’s tee with a twist of femininity.”, says Raflores on announcing the launch of her first boutique.

Influenced by urban lifestyle rooted in music, fashion, art, and good people, Queens specializes in its own private label line, one-of-a-kind tees, and is the exclusive Canadian stockist for Cubannie Links and Sistargirl accessories.

In addition to women’s apparel and accessories, Queens provides nail design beyond the basic one- colour or French mani, offering incomparable nail art for those who desire a creative and unique paint job.

I love sharing bargains especially when the items are affordable. Here I bring you an inspired Jefferey Campbell wedge that I purchased in black and nude in Jan 2011. I paid $70.00 for both pair. These shoes are so comfortable and I ordered them on a site called www.cutesygirl.com I also blogged about them via my blog www.IamVanityB.com because Baldwin Hills star “Seiko” was also seen in the trendy shoe. I didn’t even know the Perforated Peep Toe Wedge was a Jefferey Campbell remake until today. I searched high/low to give readers the option to purchase them right here for $35 bucks! The shoes run pretty big, I ordered an 11 and they are so roomy/comfortable when in fact they look like they are hard to walk in. I get compliments every time I wear them from women & men. Find them here:
