“An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and utterly irrepressible, everything Dragons do is on a grand scale – big ideas, ornate gestures, extreme ambitions… because they are confident, fearless in the face of challenge, they are almost inevitably successful.”

(clockwise from left: who wouldn’t love rosegold fire-breather earrings by Noir; to f’in die for Lilly Pullitzer dragon settee and wallpaper; The Pink Pagoda’s adorable Pink Year of Dragon; cheers to the Dragon with Bacarrat crystal; sleep chic in Natori Satin Chinoiserie pjs; Jonathan Adler’s abbbbfabbb Dragon Lamp)

According to Chinese Horoscope, 2012 is the Year of the Dragon! So pick up a few stylish items to help release your inner dragon. Even a swipe of red lipstick can help you get in the mood!

Well, get ready to breathe fire and make shit happen.

Mimi’s Christmas Fab5

mimistyle — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 02:22:49 +0000

Holy mistletoe, Christmas is 4 days away! Well, basically 3 if you’re on East Coast time!

In preparation of family fun and gifts galore, I want to share my holiday wishlist with you. Too late for Christmas? Hey, New Years totally counts as a holiday too!

Remember how I was gonna post my second fab5 in a “couple of days”…well 20 counts as a couple, right?

Righttttttt???

Please Look After Mom- Let me set the scene: settle into flight home for Christmas, crack open Shin’s international best-seller…2 different window seats and 237 pages later, I am a snotting, sobbing wreck. Literally one of the most moving books I have ever read…and I live for the tearfest shit. I’m not just saying this because I am a huuuuuuuge mama’s girl, but this novel will make you want to thank and hug and kiss your mom until you can’t breath.
Art of Shaving Sandalwood Cologne- I have said it a ton, but I love spicy, powerful scents and this one by the shaving gurus is pitch-perfect. There are a couple women’s perfumes that are amazingly woodsy- Tom Ford’s White Patchouli…hubba, hubba. But to really get the job done, sometimes you gotta go with the guys. I was stopping in for a birthday present when I found this little gem. I’m suchhhh a tomboy.
Christian Loubitin’s Pigalle- What a perfect MF’in shoe. Literally. Enough said. Oh, and size 38.
St. Jude Children’s Hospital- Although it is sometimes hard to grasp amidst the parties and presents, Christmas is about faith in goodness, and what better way to demonstrate that than giving back. Despite being born and raised in Memphis, I have never visited St. Jude, the absolute beacon of hope for sick children and their families. This trip home I hope to change that.
Vanessa Kandiyoti’s Evil Eye bracelet- I have been obsessing over the evil eye symbol for years, but have yet to get any jewelry because true to my indecisive Libra self, I can’t find the perfect piece. Well, mama, I think I got it! Now all I need is threestacks. This version is one of the most gorgeous I have seen- talk about some baaaaaad evil blockin’!

Merry Christmas, my lovely HighEnders! Eat and drink and love family and act silly

as you already know, stolen magazine questionnaires are my everything, and this one from house beautiful is one of the best.

now, instead of doing that thing where you don’t fill it out too, do that other thing where you do

most recent purchase… earrings for my mama, o and crunchy peanut butter from trader joe’s.
pet…always my jellybean muffin thompson- the most gorgeous human dog to live nearly 14 years.
favorite tv show…i don’t have any cable of any sort, but i still love tv. the good wife is fab and i could literally watch mad men on repeat. betty&don= constant chills.
fridge staple…lemons, mustard, seltzer, loads of veggies and vodka in the freezer.
favorite car…either my first car missy, a `92 black volvo. or my future car a matte black jeep wrangler with detachable doors- boss, baby.
last app downloaded…labelbox, so i can continue my career as a faux iphotog.
dream house…my second home in the country- then i’ll know that i’ve made it. big porch, loads of fireplaces, an enormous kitchen and a huge couch for watching movies.
signature accessories…david yurman cross, rosary ring and a notre dame watch.
nightstand staple…OMG, where to start? books/mags, water, lotion, rosie and candles.
favorite food…my own mac/cheese with loads of hot sauce. my salt/spice tooth is literally off the chain.

ok, now your turn…

one of my favorite holiday traditions is hitting the town with my cousins and dancing for hours at our most beloved funk club in memphis. if you don’t know raifords, then you don’t know nothin’. well in prep for hours of get-down with the girls, i have composed my wish-list of the hautest holiday heels!

“Oooooo, baby, do you know what that’s worth…” Yes, indeed snakeskin Loubitins make me certain that heaven is a place on earth.
Fuschia Jimmy Choos are a guaranteed dance floor killlllaaaaa.
♥ these tres classy YSL Tribtoos. Rock them with the shortest mini for a business on bottom look.
Everybody will Wang-Chung in these delish A.Wang Leggo-chic creations.
Pointy, spikey goodness that only Valentino is capable of creating. Would wear these till they literally fell off of my shrouded-in-high-fashion goodness feet.
Marc Jacobs’ velvet mouse slippers are beyond perfect for the post-boogie wind-down.
All I want for Christmas are these beyondddddd CL strappy daddies. LOVE.WANT.NEED.
O, and all else I want are these lovely leopard ladies by Charlotte Olympia. ME.MF.OW.

Soooooo, HighEnders, what’s your fabulously fancy footwear for holiday?
