THE SOCIAL SCENE: Dec 17, 2007

So the holiday is nearing and if your like me your still trying to locate that perfect gift on a budget. While sweaters and socks are very nice, and always appreciated, you might just want to give gifts with a little more pizzazz this year. Giving gift that shows your love, friendship or appreciation is never the wrong gift and never goes out of style.

I came across some interesting finds that I think would make great holiday gifts. And they will keep you from over extending yourself. My thought for this year, give some items that you found interesting and would like to share with others. Here some great finds that I researched for my inner circle.

For my fashion conscious readers: The Nylon Book of Global Style.

Synopsis
Ask any designer, fashion editor, or art director where the hottest trends are coming from, and they'll tell you it's from the streets of certain cities. And if you ask them what magazine gives the best, most authoritative coverage of these outsider fashion incubators, chances are they'll say Nylon. Nylon here combines its street cred and international expertise (the magazine is read in major cities around the world, and has recently launched both Japanese and Australian editions) to reveal the iconic looks in the seven most fashion-forward cities today: London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Melbourne, Copenhagen and New York
