Stocking Stuffers - Forever Chic Style Stocking 2014




    



    


The holiday season is filled with glorious festivities day and night.  As the celebrations wind down closer to the holiday, check lists are marked off and reviewed for final decisions.  Decorations are twinkling, presents gloriously wrapped, cookies baked, meals planned and last minute items are purchased.  The finale is about to begin with aplomb and excitement.  However stop the presses are the mantle stockings filled to the brim with merry and useful gifts?  In years gone by, stockings were filled with oranges, nuts, small toys and coins from Santa Claus.  Flash forward to 2014 and the gifts are much grander.  Of course, at the end of all the hustle and bustle it is the family and friends company that counts the most. Alas, here are few notable small presents for the chic and stylish Forever Chic Style stockings. One of Santa's elves mentioned that fashion forward readers too might indulge in purchasing for themselves.  One for you, one for me, one for you and one for me!

No not a Kitty in a Stocking....

I. Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend - Gold Vermeil; Sterling Platinum $42:  The next best jewel from real diamond stud earrings is one that glitters, shines and looks like the real deal.  Especially, if lost recently and are bereft in not being able to find it.  The gracious sales staff stated that women buy these for daily use instead of sporting the sparklers that matter.  Of course, nothing replaces a real twinkler but these little numbers suffice and come in a range of sizes and are gorgeous. Well priced too.
