<p>Scoop your jaw up from your desk. Last Wednesday Naeem Khan debuted his everything-under-$400 collection of frocks for <a href="http://www.hsn.com" target="_blank">HSN</a> and everything sold out in 10 minutes flat. I wasn&#8217;t able to catch the show, but I wanted you to see the looks because they are so gorgeous and it&#8217;s hard to believe that it was all available at such amazing prices.</p>
<div id="attachment_1317" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 235px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1317" title="IMG_0639" src="http://www.texasmonthly.com/blogs/closetcase/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMG_0639-225x300.jpg" alt="Naeem Khan for HSN" width="225" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">TIMELESS by Naeem Khan for HSN</p></div>

<p>There are a few things still available on the website, a cardigan, a skirt, a sequin-laden blouse. Hopefully, they&#8217;ll have additional shipments before the holidays as it&#8217;s so appropriate for upcoming parties.</p>
<div id="attachment_1319" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1319" title="shoes" src="http://www.texasmonthly.com/blogs/closetcase/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/shoes-300x225.jpg" alt="Naeem Khan for HSN" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">TIMELESS by Naeem Khan for HSN</p></div>
<p>HSN has been doing an amazing job turning their image around. Once just a late-night snooze fest filled with collectible dolls and ridiculous kitchen gadgets, now it&#8217;s the go-to channel/website for designer labels at much more doable prices. They have Scoop co-founder Stefani Greenfield&#8217;s line Curations, Miss Tina by Tina Knowles, Lou Lou De La Falaise accessories, and Nate Berkus and Carlton Varney have home lines. Badgley Mischka will have a special debut November 17 with their new collection for the shopping channel.</p>

<p>Madewell has new merch in and the cascade necklace is just the thing to turn an otherwise humble outfit into something special. Also, beginning November 12 and running through December 31, bring in a pair (or two) of your old jeans and donate them to Young Audiences, a nationwide arts charity program for kids. The organization gets your denim and you get 15% off the first pair of new denim you buy in 2010.</p>

<div id="attachment_1286" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 179px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1286" title="Lemon Verbena Hand Wash" src="http://www.texasmonthly.com/blogs/closetcase/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Lemon-Verbena-Hand-Wash-169x300.jpg" alt="Lemon Verbena Hand Wash" width="169" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Lemon Verbena Hand Wash</p></div>
<p>From now until the end of the year I&#8217;m going to post a few gift ideas a week. I&#8217;m always trying to find something new and gift-worthy and here&#8217;s my pick for today: bath and body goods from <a href="http://www.henribendel.com" target="_blank">Henri Bende</a>l. They opened a store at NorthPark Center a month ago and it&#8217;s been received incredibly well even though it&#8217;s much different from what you find in NY. HB in Dallas concentrates solely on their private line of giftable items.</p>
<div id="attachment_1287" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 197px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1287" title="Lip Glossary" src="http://www.texasmonthly.com/blogs/closetcase/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Lip-Glossary-187x300.jpg" alt="Lip Glossary" width="187" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Lip Glossary</p></div>
<p>They&#8217;ve got a little of everything from enamel and metal stackable bangle bracelets to scarves and handbags. For something more general, you can&#8217;t go wrong with the soaps, glosses, and body lotions, all of which has a nod to HB&#8217;s signature chocolate brown and white stripe.</p>
<div id="attachment_1288" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1288" title="Pamper" src="http://www.texasmonthly.com/blogs/closetcase/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Pamper-300x225.jpg" alt="Bendels collection" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Bendels collection</p></div>

<p>Cartier at NorthPark Center threw one heck of bash earlier this week to honor The Dallas Opera alongside Joyce &amp; Harvey Mitchell and Ellen &amp; Donald Winspear. Not only did they have a party, but they brought in the Cartier Tradition Collection &#8211; some of the most gorgeous vintage pieces you&#8217;ve ever seen &#8211; which will be in store until November 21.</p>
<div id="attachment_1281" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 224px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1281" title="watch" src="http://www.texasmonthly.com/blogs/closetcase/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/watch-214x300.jpg" alt="Chronograph" width="214" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Rotunde Central Chronograph</p></div>
<p>A few other things to take note of: The limited edition Trinity bracelet above is embedded with 100 tiny diamonds, one for each year Cartier has been in the US and the new chronograph comes in rose gold &#8211; i know, right &#8211; and is a new style in their Fine Watchmaking Collection.</p>

<p>Good news for all of us that have worn our beloved <a href="http://www.tomsshoes.com" target="_blank">TOMS</a> into the ground and are looking for a new pair to replace them. TOMS debuts its new exclusive collection for <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com" target="_blank">Neiman Marcus</a> this month and the color combinations are giving me a serious case of the i-want-them-nows.</p>
<div id="attachment_1270" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1270" title="Pink_Navy Preston" src="http://www.texasmonthly.com/blogs/closetcase/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Pink_Navy-Preston-300x126.jpg" alt="Pink and Navy Preston" width="300" height="126" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pink and Navy Preston</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1271" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1271" title="Sussex" src="http://www.texasmonthly.com/blogs/closetcase/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Sussex-300x113.jpg" alt="Sussex" width="300" height="113" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sussex</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1272" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1272" title="One for One Sole" src="http://www.texasmonthly.com/blogs/closetcase/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/One-for-One-Sole-300x123.jpg" alt="Soles for the new collection" width="300" height="123" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Soles for the new collection</p></div>
<p>The shoe concept remains the same: buy one, give one and the collection at Neiman Marcus ranges between $78 and $125 because of the premium fabric, limited edition grosgrain, and special soles. So far TOMS founder Blake Myscoskie has given 150,000 pairs of shoes to children in need. Don&#8217;t you want to up that number? This is the number one item I&#8217;m giving to everyone on my Christmas list. What could be better?</p>
