Happy Holidays!  Ok, it's early, but before the frenzy begins - take a moment to click through these options we compiled here at aLIFEofSTYLE.    With so many options to choose from, we put together just one small assortment of items that are unique, can appeal to a wide variety of recipients, and of course - have great style.  Many of our choices are #MadeInNYC, or #AmericanMade, a few are from Italy.   Several also reflect the "pop art" trend that has taken the sytle world by storm.  (This Ferragamo bag was created for the Wallis Annenberg Center Pop Up store happening NOW in Beverly Hills) .  At the same time -retro, artisanal products have never been more popular.  Celebrate the Artist and the Artisan this holiday season.   Purchasing handmade or handcrafted luxury items doesn't always mean you have to break the bank.  Some are ultra-luxe, but this list has a wide price range from $48.00 to $27,000.00.  All companies highlighted also have a wide range of gift options and price points.  We hope you haven't been naughty this year!!
