Thursday night I attended the Foley + Corinna Glitter & Glam party hosted by the fun and fashionable blogger, The Hollywood Wife.  There’s nothing like a group of fashion bloggers gathered together to do some holiday shopping at a fashion mecca like Foley + Corinna.  I hadn’t been into the Melrose store in a while.  LA Traffic sometimes prevents me from getting to all the hot spots. The other barrier to my shopping  Foley  and Corrina in the past had been price. Frankly, I had found them a bit too pricey for me.  I thought I would have to settle for Foley and Corinna on HSN. So it was a pleasure to find out there are some affordable and beautiful items at the Melrose store, and of course some pricey ones too. I fell in love with the Limited Edition Rhinestone Trim Shirt in Peacock Blue , available until Jan. 5th for $88.00 (online price.)   The long sleeve jersey top is very flattering, with a cut that skims over the bodice in all the right places.  The area under the arms is cut out, so the underside of the arms is exposed for a little extra holiday sizzle. Note to self, must remember to shave arms before wearing top!  I bought this top to wear to a couple of Holiday parties.  It’s a great investment for the price.

If money is no object, there are plenty of beautiful things at Foley and Corrina for $200.00 to $500.00.  There tulle dresses are amazing, and very vintage looking, but priced at over $300.00. The Paillette Bow Blouse dress is also very special for the holidays, but retails at $495.00 US.  Below is a picture of the fabulous Hollywood Wife modeling it in gold.  It is adorable on her.

Other things I like at Foley + Corrina are there vintage looking jewelry pieces and their handbags.   Their bags are expensive, but they look very chic.   If you like their bags, but not the close to $500.00 prices, check out F+C on HSN.  Some of the bags they did for HSN are now on clearance, and are very similiar to their higher priced styles. Thanks to Foley + Corinna for a great holiday party! And thanks to the sponsors of the fabulous goodie bag with some of my favorite things: Hair Products from Liz Earle ( a favorite of mine), Sunscreen from Kate Sommerville, a coupon for a blow dry at London Essensuals salon and yummy cookies from the Den.  I’ll be back to Foley and Corinna after Christmas to check out their post-Holiday sale. Hopefully, it’ll be a good one!
