Tis the time of year for parties – Christmas parties, New Year’s parties, office parties, the list goes on. While some of us can only take so much music and mistletoe, everyone knows a girl who can never get enough! She’s always fashionably late, stays for the last song, and can always tell you about a great after-party.
For part 2 of the Barbara/Jean Holiday Gift Guide, we give you everything you need for the Party Girl on your list! This girl owns more cocktail dresses than blue jeans, more jeweled high heels than comfortable flats, she sleeps all day and dances all night!
All she needs are a few necessities that will fit into her (1) Tahoe clutch from Stuart Weitzman: Her perfect red lipstick, (2) Rouge Volupte in Red Temptation by Yves Saint Laurent – the lipstick that every beauty editor swears by and winner of numerous beauty awards. She can create the perfect smoldering smoky eye in just seconds with (3) the Instant Smoke eye brush from Claudio Riaz. She’ll finish off her look with (4) Bobbi Brown’s Extreme Party Mascara. With a face like this, she’ll be the hit of any party!
But a Party Girl’s look isn’t complete without a standout party dress! Give her the gift of style with (5) Diane Von Furstenberg’s Carmina dress in black and white (our favorite color palette at Barbara/Jean, though it’s also available in multi-colors) – a smock that every girl in the store has been going ga-ga over since it’s arrival. She can finish off her look with sky-high heels to match - (6) Diane Von Furstenberg’s Zia Heel makes the perfect match!
And don’t forget (7) Natura Bisse’s Diamond Extreme Eye, the perfect cure for puffiness after a long night of partying!
All gifts for your party girl are available at Barbara/Jean; but hurry in before it’s too late!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Check back Friday for Holiday Specials!
And next week, the Spring trunk show from Yansi Fugel on Monday and Tuesday!
Happy Holidays!
The Barbara/Jean Team
Here at Barbara/Jean, we know that holiday shopping can sometimes feel like this. We want to do everything we can to help you meet your holiday needs and leave you feeling stress-free.
That’s why we’ve developed the Barbara/Jean Gift Guide to help you figure out exactly what you need for everyone on your list! And with Black Friday just around the corner, there’s no time to waste! So we present to you our first installment: The Jet-Setter!
The Jet-Setter
Everyone knows someone like her: Always off on some fabulous adventure, enough Frequent Flyer miles to get her to the moon and back, knows how to say “Where’d you get those fabulous shoes?” in French, Spanish and Mandarin. Unsure what to get the girl who has been everywhere?
Leave it to us!
She’s wise from her many travels, but show her that you know what’s up with a warm and cozy Burberry scarf (1) in the signature check print. She’ll look chic in any international airport and it will help her stay warm on chilly flights. When she gets off the plane in Ecquador, she can stash the scarf in her Burberry nylon shopper (2), available in a range of colors and prints. With adjustable leather drawstrings and sturdy nylon, it will outlast any trip!
A seasoned jet-setter can recite the carry-on 3-1-1 rule by heart. She’ll jet through airport security with her 3.4 ounce bottle in a Tory Burch cosmetic case (3) available in lots of sizes, prints and colors! Once she’s on a roll, she shouldn’t be slowed down by a strappy, complicated shoe. This Burberry sneaker (4) slides on and off for quick trips through pesky metal detectors!
Once she’s on the plane, she’ll stay comfortable in an open-front sweater from Theory (5). And no more digging through lots of different bags and cases to find her iPod! She’ll have all the cosmetics she needs in this Collection Essentielle palette from Chanel (6). A dab of concealer and gloss and she’s ready for anything!
And there you have it! Come in to Barbara/Jean today to get everything you need for the Jet-Setter in your life!

Everyone at Barbara/Jean is so excited that our favorite shoe sales lady, LeeAnn, is getting married! She’ll be swept away for her Hawaiian wedding very soon, but before she left, we gave her a wedding shower in true Barbara/Jean fashion.


The whole gang was there!

She said, "Oh, Gary was saying how much he needed an oven mitt!" Now we know who does all the cooking...

From everyone: a pretty frame for her favorite wedding picture!

Bridget gave LeeAnn some words to live by!

Glenda, LeeAnn, Greer and Christine
Barbara Jean was so lucky to be featured in…well, Lucky Magazine! In the February issue, Camilla Belle was photographed wearing a beautiful dress by Disaya. A big thanks to Disaya for giving lil’ ole Barbara Jean the credit!

Love what you see? We currently have the same dress in navy and black as well as more adorable, affordable looks from Disaya! Take a cue from Camilla’s book and come in TODAY!
