Shopping for my sister is the most fun Christmas task on my list every year because whatever I would like for myself, I can buy for her, with a lot less guilt! There are so many great choices for a fashionable little OR big sister but I try and go with fun and glamorous things that she wouldn't normally splurge on herself. Only 9 more shopping days 'til Christmas!

1.  A Few Sequins - Snow from St Barth Sequined Cropped Jacket
2. Festive Fair Isle - F21 Mittens & F21 Scarf
3. Sparkles Are A Girls Best Friend - Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Boom Boom Pow, Some Enchanted Evening & Bad Romance
4. A Little Luxury - Quiksilver Winter Faux Fur Vest
5. Showstopping Shoes - Giuseppe Zanotti Embellished Suede and Leather Slingbacks
6. Frivolous Fun - Jimmy Choo Leather Coffee Cup Sleeve
7. The New 'It' Bag - Marc Jacobs 'The Standard'

The Menswear Inspired trend has been circling the fashion world for several seasons with looks relying heavily on a few key staple pieces (a fitted blazer, white collared shirts, etc) that every Live Lean girl should own.  This Fashion Friday is all about raiding your guy's (or dad/brother's) closet for inspiration and showing the men how it's done! Try sticking with a straight silhouette, with a fitted jacket and skinny jeans, to lessen the bulk that comes with menswear dressing. Keep your accessories understated (nothing too flashy with minimal bling) and don't forget to incorporate a little femininity like I did with these heeled oxfords and fab briefcase. Remember to have fun with your look, you're one of the boys!

1. Theory Lerea Side-Slit Stretch Cotton Blend Shirt

5. Boy. By Band of Outsiders Shrunken Blazer
6. Rebecca Minkoff The Chance Briefcase in Cameo Ostrich
