Dec 14, 2012 >> Gift Guide: Azeeza Khan
From celeb fittings to costume design for Sita Ram (which opens tonight!), designer Azeeza Khan may just be the busiest bee in town. But even if her schedule is stacked, she still has time to look completely flawless.
She shares her posh picks for a fabulous holiday season below—this is one friend we want to exchange a present with!:
A. ALEXANDER MCQUEEN STUDDED CLUTCHES
Mine get the most rotation and compliments from my entire stash of clutches – pretty much a guaranteed winner!
B. JOSIE MORAN ARGAN OIL
I raved about this in my G&F Spotlight and continue to do. It’s my total soapbox item endorsement for skincare and I know all that have tried it from my reco are now also obsessed.
C. ANYTHING MONOGRAMED BY IOMOI
Warning: you will spend hours on the site not only shopping for all your close friends & family but also for yourself. Always delighted to see them in use when I visit homes of those to which I’ve gifted the lacquer trays and lucite paperweights.
D. UGG SLIPPERS
Little known fact: during downtime at work, I slip out of my shoes and into these clouds. My staff has a total “if only people could see you now” mentality on them—I love these slippers.
E. NESPRESSO PIXIE ESPRESSO MAKER
I have a few necessities and this is definitely on it. Not only does it invoke nostalgia to the espressos I sipped in Florence and Rome within 30 seconds, but it also is less than a buck a cup and beats ten fold those coffee shop lattes that cost more than your lunch sandwich. Oh, and painless clean-ups.
F. THOERY FUR VEST
Given I haven’t taken mine off since I bought it a few weeks ago to both casual and fancy places—even to the Burberry soiree—I think it has the versatility needed to be a closet staple.
G. COCOMORI CAKE POPS
Obsessed with this local cake shop that has creativity like none other—from mini Lagerfelds to beautiful dinner party table accents, they are the perfect gift aesthetically. But its the first bite that will make this a pleaser. The vanilla is out of this world.
H. DANA REBECCA SYLVIE ROSE NECKLACE
There is an inner minimalist to me, believe it or not. The simplicity lends nicely to my usually over-the-top style but also a perfect fit for someone like my sister who, as a mother of three, needs simple day wear that is easy to wear around the clock. Small fact: ManRepeller has slept in her Sylvie Rose earrings for the last 4 months (yes, I am a sucker for Blogstar endorsements).
