Your GTGs Fantasy Gift Guide

Fantasies. We all have them. They range from sexual to life style fantasies, but during the holidays, when we're struggling to find the perfect gifts for our loved ones, we can't help but to fantasize about the grander and more luxurious things that we'd love to own, but could never afford.

So taking a cue, from Neiman Marcus's Christmas Book, I've compiled my very own list with the most fabulously lush items available for this holiday season.

This list is just for fun, so please don't think I'm suggesting you to ever get these things, unless you can afford them in which case, I say: GO FOR IT!

Santa baby, if you can get us these presents, please, please hurry down the chimney!




Want to feel like a million bucks? How about a cool two million? Well, now you can  with this year's Fantasy Bra by Damiani for Victoria's Secret. The diamond-encrusted bra consists of 3,000 diamonds worth an astounding 60 carats, along with 82 carats worth of topazes and sapphires. This bra would make any woman feel richly beautiful!




Boys, don't think I've forgotten about you. Beyonce just got this amazing piece of art for her hubby, HOVA, as if having Beyonce for a wife isn't enough, (and no fellas, B didn't make it onto my list. Sorry!) she gifted him with the world's most expensive car, the Bugatti Veyron. This car goes from zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds and has a price tag of $1.7 million.


Pablo Picasso is regarded as one of the most famous and best artists of the 20th century, but let's not forget about his youngest daughter, Paloma Picasso, who has been dazzling the fashion industry with her jewelry and perfumes. Her new line of jewelry is not only exquisite, but also has a strong Moroccan flair. This $14,500 egg pendant from Tiffany & Co.will have you falling in love with it every time you wear it.



If you've ever dreamt of living in a castle, well now you can just buy you're own for anywhere between $2 to $20 million and you don't even have to travel over the pond! Long live the king or queen!

I really do hope Santa brings you exactly what your little hearts desire, but if he doesn't, there's always next year.



I had to add this last gift idea because let's face it--this is what dreams are made of. The Ultimate Shoe Subscription from Net-a-Porter.com will excite any shoe lover. For $10,000 you will get a pair of shoes of your choice every month for a year, as well as first dibs on pre-select shoes.
Thanks for reading dolls! ;)

The Official Your Go-to-Gal Gift Guide

Hi again, it's me, your go-to-gal.

I'm just going to cut to the chase and reveal my first and very official gift guide.

It's divided by categories. I truly hope you all get what you want you this year!

Stocking Stuffers:



This is one of the season's must have items. It's the new Burberry Lip Charm. It's a lip gloss in the most perfect nude shade and it doubles up as a charm that you can either use as a key chain or on your handbag. $85

Checking your list for who's been naughty or nice? Well if she's been really naughty you can reward her with this awesome set of nail lacquerTartan Tale: Naughty Little Vices from MAC. $25.50
.



This is a great stocking stuffer for men. Let's face it men don't have as many things to accessorize with but one these Salvatore Ferragamo wallets will even make his credit cards look good all year around. $260
Shoot anything in HD and share it right away. Edit and add music to your home vids, but the best part of this gift is that you can customize it for the person your getting it for. Flip Ultra starts at $149.

Juicy Couture is the epitome of "girly." Glam up any gal's iphone with any of these JC fun colored leopard print cases for $28.
Gifts For Him

Shopping for men can be quite hard. My best advice is to buy him something that can help him wiht his hobbies or interests, but even that can sometimes prove to be difficult. The following gifts will be sure to WOW him.


This new Bleu de Chanel cologne is the first major Chanel fragrance for men since 2004. It's a cool, sexy and  masculine smell, which makes it the perfect gift for that young man in your life. $79

Men sure do love watching their sports. And I promise this gift will make them love sports, and you even more. It's the all new 50' Panasonic Viera TC-P50VT25 Plasma HDTV which is also a 3D TV. Starts at $2100. *** lAlso, one of the best buys in the market!



This Burberry giant check cashmere scarf is the definition of  classic and effortless everyday elegance. It will also help in keeping him warm during the cold winter. Get it for $335. 
I believe every man should own a spectacular timepiece to help him be on time wherever he goes. So I looked hard to find this great everyday Breil Milano Mediterraneo Sport Chronograph watch, which looks like it's worth a lot more than the price it goes for and he's sure to keep it for a few years. $595

Apple keeps producing the most sought out gadgets that we have encountered in the past decade. The iPad was unveiled earlier this year and it's still one of the hottest gifts this holiday season. Make him feel special with his very own Apple iPad. Starts at $499




Gifts for Her


This is my all-time favorite perfume by Chole and trust me it will become hers too. The scent is exquisite and long-lasting. You can get her a beautiful gift set for $125. 
Oh Henri, how I love thee! this is one brand of handbags that never lets me down. And this HB Glam Punk'd Shoulder Handbag is perfect for that woman who has an incredible stylish edge. Henri Bendel you've done it again! $795

I think handbags truly make the perfect gift for women. Whether she's a label whore or not, a nice bag is something you can never go wrong with, which is why I'm including a second handbag. I already own this Marc Jacobs handbag in red snakeskin and trust me it is a conversation starter and she will be complimented for many seasons to come. The Marc Jacobs Chelsea Stam Linen Satchel for $995.


Jewelry is always in style and this season Michael Kors designed a great watch collection for even greater prices. Light up her wrist with this MK Resin and Crystal Watch for $225.


It really wouldn't be my official gift guide if I didn't include an incredible pair of shoes. First, let me say you can never go wrong with getting a professed shoe enthusiast like myself a sexy pair of stilletos. So here are my favorite pairs of shoe out there right now: Jimmy Choo Snake & Mesh Bootie for $1095. they make the best gift and she'll be walking in style for seasons to come!


But don't forget, regardless of the gifts that you get for anyone on your Christmas list the most important gift of all is:

" Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly Merry Christmas." PB

Happy Shopping & Merry Christmas!



Stay Tuned for my Fantasy Gift wish List! Til then-- xoxo Your GTG

Merry December

It's Your Go-to-Gal here! And I'm welcoming each and every one of you back from what I hope was a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I had so many things to be grateful for this year. I was especially thankful for my dear friends and readers who have motivated me to keep working on my blogs. Thank you all so much for that gift. Writing alone is a great thing for me to do, but knowing that I have a following, who ask when the next blog is up and offer feedback makes it that much more rewarding.

I took a small break, since I already had your Black Friday shopping tips and Art Basel's must-do events, and let's face it, you guys were too busy enjoying the long weekend.

But now I am back and as excited as ever for all the things that I have in the works. I can't even believe that we are already in December-- only 30 days left in this year, so let's make these last days count, so we can start 2011 with a bang! Deal?

Two very important things I want to discuss before I go on:

Today is World's AIDS Day awareness, and although we have come a long way from the devastatingly deadly disease that first spread itself into our world 30 years ago, we must remember that there is still no cure. We have to practice safe sex, get tested and just spread the word: Wrap it up every time! No excuses.

I found this great and brief World's AIDS Day article that I urge you to check out.

Happy Chanukah to those who celebrate this wonderful Jewish holiday.

On to the exciting things in the works this month:
  • The Official Your Go-to-Gal Gift Guide
  • The Your Go-to-Gal in your dreams Gift Guide (a look at the exquisite and expensive items that we all secretly want.)
  • Spots to bring in the New Year
  • New Year's Resolutions
****And last, but not least I will be bringing you a very special video blog, but I won't be revealing any more deets about that until a little later!!!

Merry December my sweethearts! This truly is the best time of the year. The cold is making its way to our little paradise of sunshine, and it's just the time of love, peace, family and friends.
