My Favorite things coats edition features Balmain, Gryphon, Burberry, 3.1 Phillip Lim and “The Perfect” leapord coat. Burberry topped the list with 3 entries I love the sherling and the full coat with African print. But the list would not be complete without a Burberry trench (of course) and this season they had many fabulous options including designs with ankara African wax print detail . View the gallery to see all of my picks below.

“I love to give gifts that pamper and indulge-and make a person feel really special,” says the media queen.

1. Masala Chai and Yedi Houseware Tea Cup and Tea Pot

The 2011 list also includes things loved by Oprah’s inner circle, including Gayle King, Dr. Oz, Suze Orman and others.
King’s “cheery delicious gifts” include seven-layer caramel cake ($46) and a python-print wheeled carry-on bag ($108). “I love to give and get monogrammed gifts,” King said. “It instantly makes it ‘personal.’ Personal means it was bought or made with you in mind.”
Dr. Oz’s picks are “feel-good presents” like fuzzy slippers ($45) and lemon- and chili-infused olive oils ($30).
Other contributions include Martha Beck’s “gifts with soul” featuring silver- and gold-dipped necklaces ($49); Suze Orman’s “gifts to share,” like handmade caramels ($12); Cat Cora’s “fun, active gifts” such as animal-themed helmets ($20) and an at-home sound system ($240); and organizational designer Peter Walsh’s “handy, whimsical gifts,” including assorted Aussie licorice ($27) and a watch turned iPod Nano holder ($32), according to People.

Turn up your sexy with this bold lip color by MAC Cosmetics. Lady Danger is a matte red with an orange tint, (it’s actually more orangy than the photo suggests), and it has a vintage feel to it that I just love. When I wear it I like to keep the rest of my makeup neutral. In the photo above I’m wearing a primer, NARS Orgasm blush, and lots and lots of black mascara. At night I would play up the eyes with lashes, black liner and even more black mascara lol. What I Iove most about this color is that it lasts; repeat touch ups aren’t necessary, one application and you’ll be looking fab for hours.
So what do you think? Would you try it?
