Jewelry designer Tina Tang offers a girlie, playful (yet never overly precious) take on jewelry design at her Greenwich Avenue studio store. Her customizable pieces are customer favorites: Unique silver charms in a broad selection of shapes (feathers, books, anchors, wishbones, letters of the alphabet) can be mixed and matched on necklaces and bracelets to create a personalized sentimental look. Tang brings symbols into her other work as well, with astrological signs, natural treasures like acorns and leaves, elements like air and fire, and even a Batgirl icon in mercurial silver. (Most items are priced at less than $200.) There are beaded pieces, too, and a bridal line, including princess-like ropes of freshwater pearls, luxurious crystal-chandelier earrings, and even hair combs to secure that chignon or veil. The website sells a hefty dose of what’s in-store, and special discounts are offered to customers who sign up for the weekly e-mail newsletter. And for shoppers who prefer more precious metals, Gold Label by Tina Tang (literally right across the street) offers many of the same designs cast in gold.
To redeem your 20% discount at Tina Tang, enter “STOREADOREANDTT” at checkout or present this page in the West Village boutiques.

Let your eyes do the talking and top off your Halloween costume with
COLORON Professional Instant Eyeshadow Applicators. Whether you're
dressing up as a frisky feline, making a statement in camo, or showing
off your zebra stripes, COLORON Instant Eyeshadow is an easy, quick way
to add a professional, bold touch to your costume.
Don't walk
the line between sexy cat eyes and smudged raccoon eyes--walk on the
wild side with COLORON's Animal Instincts variety pack, a collection of
eye-catching designs in Zebra, Camouflage, and Leopard Lounge.
Whether
you're in front of your mirror at home or in the back of the cab running late to your third Halloween party that night, these
COLORON Instant Eyeshadow Applicators will give you mess-free,
professional results in three easy steps. Just place the
one-size-fits-all applicator on your closed eyelid with one hand,
holding it in place by making a peace sign with your index and middle
finger on each corner of the eye, and use your index finger from your
free hand to gently rub the back of the applicator from the inside
corner out. Then peel back the applicator for perfectly applied zebra
stripes, leopard spots, or camo pattern.
The eyeshadow is
waterproof, smudge-proof, and crease-proof and will play well with your
other makeup. Add dramatic liquid liner and mascara and leave your
decade-old 25-color eyeshadow palette at home---this long wearing
formula won't call it a night until you do.
To purchase, go to coloron.com or sephora.com.

Denim lovers, time to belly up to the bar. The Blues Jean Bar, with several locations throughout the country including San Francisco (the original), Santa Monica, Chicago and Dallas, boasts a four-star rating in all things denim. In a scene much like a neighborhood pub, shoppers are encouraged to sit on a bar stool and order up at the long wooden bar from “bartenders” who are well versed in the 40-plus different brands on tap for men and women. If you know exactly what you’re thirsting for, the store carries many popular lines, such as AG, Paige Premium Denim, Hudson, J Brand and more, but your server can also recommend different cuts and styles to help you find your perfect pair. The store also offers a selection of comfy tees and flip-flops that go with denim like pretzels go with beer. (Okay, we can’t help ourselves.) Even with so much to indulge in, this is one bar that won’t leave you with a hangover in the morning.

Don't put your head in the sand about ostrich. Here's why to invest
in this hard-wearing luxury instead! (Hint: It lasts 30 years)
$6,500 Bottega Veneta; (877) 362-1715.
The South African ostrich skin is vegetable-dyed, and the trim is hand-painted Bolivian crocodile skin. No two bags are alike.
$3,500 Bally; (310) 271-3310.
They made only 100 of
these bags, as it takes three months to treat and lacquer the skin and
stitch by hand. Designed by Brian Atwood.
$420 Michael Kors; (212) 965-0401 for other colors.
Or you can cheat a little: Leather from Argentina is tanned for four weeks in Italy, then stamped to look like ostrich.

As Washington D.C.’s most ecologically conscious boutique, Hoopla Traders promises that on its side of the street, the gifts are always greener. In a bright Adams Morgan showroom stocked with unique eco-friendly, fair-trade and handmade products, Hoopla doesn’t sacrifice one bit of cool while supporting the environment. It offers plenty of accessories by both local artists and established jewelers, each one displaying their own flair for the creative—like impressive recycled glass earrings or a range of prayer-style bracelets and beaded necklaces by Kim Reyes. Adorable girl-friendly gifts include the beloved cure-all reference “Yoga to the Rescue” and a selection of candles, named humorously after the mood they seek to adjust (like Panic Attack and Birthday Acceptance), by Aromatherapy Interventions. You’ll also be amazed by Hoopla’s environmentally sound selection of artwork, clothing, bags and collection of Buddha statues—so that’s what all the Hoopla’s about!

Snuggled between classic Abbot Kinney shops carrying hippie-esque smocks and frocks, Heist is in a class of its very own. More posh than boho, the shop boasts everything edgy, tailored and classic. Pieces like sharply cut Alvin Valley pants and crisp Rogan trousers perch off of sleek Lucite racks. Organic cotton jeans from Loomstate are neatly stacked next to hard-to-find labels like French designer Isabel Marant, whose simple, classy sweaters and V-neck tops are a staple in the working girl’s wardrobe. Heist also stocks Vanessa Bruno, a favorite among the elegantly laid-back celebs who pair her slouchy cashmere sweaters with skinny drainpipe jeans and high-stacked Lanvin shoes. And if your dog is your most essential accessory, you’re in luck, since this lovely store is pup-friendly, too.
To redeem the discount online, please enter the code "ADOREHEIST" at checkout. To redeem in the store, print out the coupon here or mention "Store Adore" at the check-out.

The Sony Rolly
Full disclosure: It's a really expensive MP3 player with very little storage. Sound lame? It's actually THE coolest gadget I've ever seen! Once prompted by tunes, this device flaps open its wings and literally starts to dance. It rolls around, spins, shakes, and grooves while little light rings on each side smoothly change color. If you're feeling motivated, you can personally choreograph a dance to your guy's favorite tune online. You have to see it to believe the $400 price tag.
A HUGE TV
I know it sounds cliché, but I'm telling you, a HUGE TV gets them every time. I like Sony's the best, but I know they can be costly. Looking on eBay for a refurbished TV is a great way to score one at a nice price. On some models, you can save up to 60 percent by buying a pre-owned model! I've got two tips for you when buying this way: Always use PayPal, you're covered if the TV is not what you expected; and check the warranty info to ensure you have some padding if you want to send it back.
Wireless Theater Audio System from Altec Lansing
If you're looking for a boomin' home theater system that's easy to set up (no wires running all over the place, no big manual), this is a solid option with a nice price point. The set-up is incredibly easy. All you have to do is plug the main unit into the back of your television, MP3 player, or sound system, then place the additional speaker in a convenient location. Turn it all on and poof - you have surround sound!
The New iPhone
Most of all he'll be jealous that you have one at all. The lines are still forming at stores so scoring one is just, well, hot! For a quick and cool little show-off session, download the iBeer application and ask him to join you in a cool glass. He'll be drooling as you take a sip of your virtual beer that really looks like your taking a drink of a frosty cold one.
Sound Blade
You're going to look really cool if you have one of these in your house. It's a device that uses Bluetooth to wirelessly play music stored on your cell phone. You can also use the speaker and built-in microphone to make calls at the office or at home. The sound quality on this baby is amazing and allows you to show off your tech skills like no other gadget can.

With green being touted as the new black, the phrase “green glamour” is no oxymoron. This site’s tagline is “Go green. Stay stylish.” And here, that’s a snap. Green With Glamour is the brainchild of two eco-minded, Chicago-bred shopping fiends—and friends—Kathleen Rowan and Deana Bracken. The site is divided into three sections: Live, Wear and Give. For living, the site offers upscale, high-design pieces like adorable octopus pillows screen-printed on organic linen and stuffed with a sustainable insert; chic zebra print throws made from recycled cotton; and recycled-glass serving pieces. For wearing, find a similar mix of the modern and vintage femme, from a sexy, black 100 percent bamboo dress by Beau Soleil (the perfect travel piece) to a chain scarf top made of three vintage scarves by Super Lucky Cat, a company that repurposes previously used materials to create fabulously new designs. For giving, find the same items recategorized according to the type of gift you’re looking for (home, food, edibles), plus clever gift baskets and a few men’s pieces. The selection is so covetable that you can give with mindfulness without imposing on your less socially conscious friends.
