Tissues are an absolute must in colder weather - you can’t help but needing one practically every time you head outside and are in the cold for more than five minutes. There’s no reason why pulling a tissue out of your bag can’t be as fashionable as everything else in your life — thanks to Sniff, you can choose from a variety of chic, funny, and adorable tissues for your schnoz. Although my favorites are the leopard print Sniffs, you can find a pack to suit your fancy, or give as a gift to your friends. The tissues come in packs of six, with each pack containing 10 unscented 4-ply tissues. Perfect to keep a pack stashed everywhere - on yoru desk, in your handbag, in your coat pocket - you name it!

It’s Business Time!
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009Authored by: Lauren Messiah
The year is coming to an end and everyone is going on vacation (mental vacations count too). However, if you think about it — it’s already time to get ready for business in new year! Get all your ducks in a row for 2010 by stocking up on some brand new office supplies. Manhattanite has a really nice selection of products for the business savvy chick. I picked out three must-haves that will definitely have a spot on my desk in 2010. Will they be on yours?
1.) Modern Geometry Business Card Holder for $16: This is like a huge step up from an old school Rolodex. Plus, it’s more reliable than solely depending on your computer to hold your contacts. This baby holds up to 130 cards.
2.) Internet Notes Journal for $8: With so many sites and places to belong to on the web, there are bound to be a lot of passwords to go with. This journal will help keep all of your internet secrets intact and in one handy place.
3.) Receiptables for Money for $15: Money, money, money! This little envelope will help you collect every receipt, slip, tag, and ticket that you need to manage your money.
Baby It’s Cold Outside! Bundle up with Scarves
Sunday, December 13th, 2009Authored by: FreshJess
It is freezing cold in Seattle. FREEZING. When the wind chill brings the temps down to 13 degrees, I am doing all I can to bundle up and keep warm on my downtown walks to work or running errands. When I’m not wearing a high-neck peacoat, an absolute necessity is a beautiful scarf I can wrap around my neck.
Scarves are my favorite way to add a splash of color and flair to any outfit, whether it’s to keep cozy in the winter or for some added sass in the summertime. Scarves are also the perfect gift for almost anyone on your holiday shopping list, from your mom or sister to your Secret Santa at work!
Here are a few of my favorites from Manhattanite’s current scarf collection:

Have Your Cake and Wear It Too
Saturday, December 12th, 2009Authored by: Lauren Messiah
I remember the days when receiving bath gels and other beauty products for Christmas was like the worst thing ever. It was such an impersonal gift and generic gift. That’s probably because back then the selection was so slim (Bath and Body Works, and lame Walmart gifts set were pretty much the norm). These days there are so many great brands and products on the market that anyone would flip over.
Right now I am flipping over Cake. Not the food, although I flip over that too, but the beauty brand. Cake makes some of coolest and most sought after products. Manhattanite has some brand new products that you may just want to give this holiday season, or possibly just get for yourself:
> Cake Satin Sugar Multi-Tasking Must Haves for Darker Hues ($32)
> Cake Satin Sugar Multi-Tasking Must haves for Lighter Hues ($32)
> Cake Winter Wonderlips Limited Edition Lip Gloss Trio ($28)
> Cake Jacky Frost Limited Edition Bath & Shower Bubbles ($24)

A Case of The Navy Blues
Friday, December 4th, 2009Authored by: Crosby
For the longest time navy reminded me of the perfume advertised in my YM Magazine. It meant preppy, it was the color of my elementary school uniforms, especially those scratchy cardigan sweaters. I believed that you either chose brown, gray, blue or black as your anchor color, and never should the twine intersect (except for gray and black, of course - what would life be without black and gray). I never was a blue girl, never chose blue as a wall color, have never driven a blue car (pickle green yes, but never blue) and until recently, have really only considered the color when pulling out the frosty blue eyeshadow to wear to an eighties party.
Recently however, blue has seemed almost a bit subversive - to choose navy over black, or any shade of blue over my beloved red and pink - it’s sacrilege! Given the thrill of breaking my own rules, I’ve picked out a few Manhattanite pieces that I’m sure will help me ease into the blues this winter.

He’s Just a Skater (Baby) Boy
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009Authored by: Lauren Messiah
It’s never too early too dress your kid up like a slacker! Pre-determine your child’s social standings early and effectively with these adorable skater socks. They’ve got the look of Vans but the softness of baby booties. The socks come in a variety of colors and would make a great gift for the holidays (yep, its starting to be that time again). Now all you need is a Nirvana onesie, a backward cap, and little skateboard — then your kid will really fit in with all the cool outcasts. Rockin, dude!
Btw — I totally kid with my skater stereotypes. Skaters are the coolest!
Of course if you don’t want to have a skater baby, there are tons of other sock options for the kiddies on Manhattanite. Like, for real, a lot of options; Mary Janes, argyle, polka dots, camo, sneaker socks, ballerina socks, and tons more! Check em out.
Jet-Setting in Style: Manhattanite Has Your Essentials!
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Authored by: Good Girl Gone Shopping
Due to various budgeting reasons, I don’t travel too often. Fortunately, however, my piggy bank is getting fuller as we speak – it is my jet-setting fund.
As an Inland Empire personal shopper, I preach various things to my clients: versatility, the value of shopping sales and clearance, working with what you already have, and following your own style compass. In adding to this list, I now include “being prepared.” This means collecting essentials as you go, and investing in affordable items that will embrace your next event.
So I love that Manhattanite offers a selection of jet-setting accessories – things that will make your next trip possibly even more enjoyable because they are truly neccessities wrapped up in the prettiest of packages.
Here are the Top 5 Traveling Essentials that I plan to bring with me on my next trip:
Sometimes an Oops is a Good Thing!
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Authored by: FashionPulse

I recently discovered the brand Miss Oops, and upon testing out several of the products, I must admit: I’m addicted! The products are so practical and effortless to use, that I almost look forward to my next “oops” moment so that I can whip them out! The item the brand is most know for, and the one that I always have in my handbag is the Miss Oops Rescue Sponge, $10, that miraculously removes those nuisance stains that appear on your clothes such as makeup, deodorant, or powder. The brand also offers other products to simplify some of those little annoying issues you may have with your clothing such as Show Stoppers (reusable nipple covers), Mishap Tape (for bra straps, gaping tops, etc), Pucker Protector (combine lip balm and gloss), and Pedicure in a Bottle (hydrates & exfoliates feet).
Plus, the Critical Care Kit makes a great holiday or birthday gift for practically any female friend or loved one in your life; and on sale for $22.80, it’s the right price for us budget-conscious “oops” babes!
