Other than that iced coffee in the morning, I've been pretty frugal these days. Gone are the days of blowing way too much on a pair of impractical shoes or a dress that will just hang in my closet. On the same note, the holidays this year are going to be a inexpensive affair with one or two splurge items thrown in there. Come on, who doesn't want to see their mom's eyes light up when she unwraps that luxe cashmere throw? 'Tis the season to max out that credit card--the rent can wait.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if I'm going to spend $515 on a cheesy looking baseball jacket, it will be REAL gryphon fur, not faux!

Y'know, I find the same to be true on AOL sports. But I accept it and read on! To avoid disappointment, you might want to avoid articles under "Stylist". Just sayin'

Buying any of these overpriced items will secure that the needy entrepreneurs and stylists -- along with their families and close friends -- will enjoy their holidays thanks to your subsidy.
