ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS… THE 2011 EDITION!
December 19, 2011 – 8:25 am
Santa Baby-
I haven’t been good at all this year. In fact I’ve been needy, co-dependent, spoiled, insolent, petulant, and let’s face it, downright bratty. But that is what you’ve grown to expect since our 1st encounter so many moons ago, yes?
As I sit here typing my annual wish list, I look back on all the other utter disappointments in our relationship. I no longer believe I didn’t get that pony because “pink was out of stock and Santa couldn’t get the black one down the chimney” as mommy claims. Especially since we didn’t have a fireplace…
As Miranda Priestly once mused “I said to myself, go ahead. Take a chance. Hire the smart, fat girl. I had hope. My God. I live on it.” Needless to say I no longer want that pony. BUT – I do want ALL the things listed below.
And as usual Lactaid & Low-Fat Golden Oreos await by the fireplace… Which is unlit… No excuses this year. xoxo

These are a few of my favorite things (in no specific order):
1. Black Rolex Submariner.
2. Notes by Paul Smith & Valentino Garavani. Una Grande Storia Italiana. by Taschen.
3. The 2012 Simon Spurr Spring collection.
4. A selection of Paul Smith pocket squares.
5. A selection of Dyptique Paris candles.
6. iPhone 4 with a Bluetooth Keyboard Case by Brookstone.
7. Dinner with Joe Zee & Anderson Cooper… In New York at Cipriani Downtown or in Beverly Hills at Mr. Chow.
8. Nike 1.3 Low iD trainers.
9. World peace!
and 10. A pink pony with a flaxen mane… Happy Holidays! M*
MARCELLAS STYLE! 5
November 12, 2011 – 4:18 am
I haven’t done a “Marcellas Style” shopping post in ages. Actually in over a year. For a while I aggressively, somewhat obsessively, cataloged every purchase I made. But when you shop for a living that can get a lil bit old. Recently I’ve acquired a few things that I absolutely love and I’m gonna tell you about it!
Without further ado here’s the list of what’s in rotation at Casa Marcellas:
Tom Ford Christopher sunglasses in dark havana w/brown lenses. I bought these in tortoise a year ago and lost them. Marcolin USA, the manufacturer, held an event for celebs & stylist in the Hills recently. I told the owner I lost them & they found them in brown! Love it! $375
Jack Spade Industrial Canvas Dipped Coal Bag is a functional carry-all constructed from 24-ounce canvas. $195
CO-OP Barneys New York slim suit jacket in black. I needed another black blazer. This one is perfection and will last forever! $395
Jack Spade nylon canvas Computer Field Bag in navy. I have it in black too but it was looking a lil beat up. $195
Fred Perry Single Tape track jacket with trademark laurel wreath badge in black. Old-school cool. $95 on sale $55 at Andrew Christian.
life/after/denim Marylebone shirt in navy blue. Plaid is huge right now & this shirt is perfect alone or under a blazer. $84
Puma by Hussein Chalayan hi-tops! The sneaker comes with 2 velcro straps in an all black premium leather version. The Puma logo is embossed on the tongue. These are amazing. They were $275 but I got them 1/2 off on-line!
G-Shock Mirror Metallic digital watch in white. $99 at Bloomingdales. So cute!
I needed a new black suit in the mix and no one does it better than J. Lindeberg!
J. Lindeberg Mick Dressed wool $537.50 & Mark Dressed wool trousers. $212.50
Land’s End Turkish terry full-length robe. White robes are my thing. Land’s End does them in XXL so they almost reach the floor. Comfy and decadent for cheap! $89.50 with free shipping. The perfect Xmas gift.
WeSC Erwin Adriatic blue plaid shirt. WeSC is cool. I feel young and hip in this. $75
So that’s a lil bit of what I’ve picked up in the past few months. There’s so much good stuff out there right now. I’m looking for the perfect belted sweater & of course I’m going to pick up a few key pieces of Versace for H&M! M*
