To start off the New Year right I thought it would be great to highlight some of the most exciting new brands and product launches that we've come across these past 12 months. Can't wait to see what's in store from these brands for 2010!

Marc Jacobs Lola Solid Perfume Ring Smells Pretty

user-pic

Saw this the other day and tempted to pick one up for all my friends!  This whimsical ring is not only stylish, it is also a solid perfume!  I can not say enough about solid perfumes, you get to freshen up discreetly and the scents are not as overwhelming as a spray or oil.  The Lola scent is sweet but subtle, right up my alley.  I often  forget to put on perfume before running out the door and on those days my 5 year old will remind me that I do not smell pretty when I kiss him (he is so high maintenance, def an apple from my tree!).  I keep a tube of Kai oil in my make up bag just for him and it once exploded when I opened it after flying and ended up all over my dress.  This cute little ring seems much safer to transport around.  Oh, what a mother will do for kisses!  Marc Jacobs Lola Solid Perfume Ring Solid Perfume Ring $42

Fragrance Snob

You must get this for the bag and fragrance snob in your life, it's such a cute little accessory to have in your bag or hang on you bag if you like little charms.  I took a whiff of the scent and it's actually quite yummy.  Leiber Crystal Miniaudiere $165

I have Jo Malone candles burning in every room in the house.  My housekeeper has also become addicted and the minute she walks in-- she lights it up-- when we run out she puts it on top of my shopping list (LOL!).  Jo Malone candles burn slowly and last a really long time; this big giant multi scent one should be good at least half a year.  Fragrance Combining Candle $185

My friend Dawn is obsessed with Jo Malone scents and has these little bottles in her powder bathroom so her guests can freshen up with lots of choices.  This will be in her stocking from me.  Cologne Collection $95

Not only is Michael Kors' new scent very pretty, the bottle is gorgeous, too!  This is a fresh and light scent and has the delightful white floral notes that I love.  A fabulous scent for the slopes as the citrus scent will warm you with thoughts of warmer weather to come.  Michael Kors Fragrance Very Pretty $75

Frugal Snob: Crazylibellule

user-pic

For years I carried around a travel-size Allure eau de toilette in my purse. It always shacked around and the cap often fell off, so whenever I had a bag I cared particularly about I couldn't take it with me out of fear that spillage might occur. How much easier life has gotten now that there are so many wonderful solid perfumes to choose from! Crazylibellule is one such fabulously fun brand (Parisian of course!). All the fragrances in the line are shaped and sized to be about as big as a lipstick and they can all be layered. The packaging is super fun and colorful and I love how light and refreshing the scents are (all the ones I've tried would work for both men and women). To boot each stick is only $18 which is great for those who like to mix up their fragrance throughout their day/depending on their mood. For added value (or in light of the upcoming holiday season -- can't believe it's so soon!), there's also the Crazylibellule and the Poppies Shanghaijava Collection ($54 Value) ($36).

Missoni: La Bella Vita

I love dual purpose products; especially one that makes you look pretty and smell good.  Unfortunately I am not a charm bracelet girl but I have a girlfriend who collects them--this is the perfect Christmas present for her.  Margherita Missoni designed this fun and whimsical solid parfum charm bracelet that combines convenience and luxury (you can discreetly refreshen your scent from a bracelet, necklaces are harder to conceal).  My friend Kristen the Beauty Addict loves solid parfums but I've never found one that was to my liking.  I took a whiff of this the other day and for some reason it smelled rancid on me.  Oh well, the search for the perfect solid parfum continues.  I am obsessed with Kai's gardenia oil but the roller ball broke the other day in the car, on my way to a black tie wedding and spilled all over my vintage HAUTE COUTURE YSL gown circa 1972.  I was devastated and held my clutch over the giant oil stain all night.  Luckily my trusty dry cleaner took the stain right out.  Whewwwww!  Oh, if you're interested, the Missoni charm bracelet is $50 at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue this month.
