PURPLE BLAB

A few months ago, HSN asked us if we would design a holiday ornament to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

A. I would never say no to helping children
B. I will do anything HSN ever asks of me
C. As a Jew who never had the joy of her own tree, I was ecstatic!

This was our creation, thanks to Todd, who gets all the credit for the design.

Our original idea included scaffolding and crystals that streamed to the floor but Todd, being that he has experience with Christmas and building things, assured me that it would not work.

So we went with an ombre metallic purple, oversized Mwah lips in our signature hot pink and Swarovski white crystal lightning bolts.

I am in love with it – and a Channukah bush is now in order!

There was a recent event in New York to launch the collection and so many of the HSN experts were on hand – it was like walking into a room to see everyone you think you know but don’t really know. Kind of amazing, the power houses in that room. To be in the space with them was an honor unto itself. Thank you, HSN, for including us!

Please support the cause! You can find all 70 ornaments here.

In case you’re wondering, a few of my faves include:

This stunner by Naeem Khan is like jewelry. I can totally envision a white tree with nothing but these ornaments embelishing it (Christmas Couture, espesh at $300).

This white one by Sean John is so chic, it hurts. Love its subtlty and luxury.

The leopard number by furrier Adrienne Landau is sexy (Marlo Thomas, who hosted the event, actually said “I never saw so many sexy ornaments. They match my panties!” I kid you not!)

Can’t you just see it on a black tree?

The Japanime style of the Harajuku girl-enhanced ball by Gwen Stefani killed me, too!

Give back and have a beautiful holiday!

Mwah!
