Get ready for '08 with Kate Spade

kate spade 2008 plannerThe clocks have fallen back and the end of 2007 is rapidly approaching. Before you start freaking out about which dress you are going to wear to your company's Christmas party or how you will combat those pesky holiday pounds -- let's go back to the basics with a 2008 calendar.

In the days of hand-held devices, cell phones, and computers we often forget about good old-fashioned pen and paper. It's a shame really, especially when there are such great paper calendars out there.

Kate Spade has designed this kitschy and affordable spiral bound desk calendar for 2008. The calendar has both monthly and weekly views just like your computers calendar. Major holidays and all that jazz are listed in the back of the notebook, as well as space for note taking.

For $18 this makes the perfect gift for any busy gal on your shopping list. Buy it now at SeeJaneWork.com.

Reading is Fashionable: Fashion Now

Fashion Now (Taschen 25)
I saw this book in a cute little bookstore in Santa Monica and thought to myself "Learning about 150 of today's greatest designers for only $12.99 ... sign me up!"

The book Fashion NOW, from the iconic British magazine i-D, is fun and is a good reference material for any fashion fan. The book is not a cover-to-cover read; it's more like a good reference. Each designer or label has a one- to two-paragraph biography, photos of their designs, and a quickie Q&A section.

So far I have read about Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, Karl Lagerfeld and Jeremy Scott. My only disappointment with the book so far is that Betsey Johnson wasn't in there and the pages physically smelled funny. This book would make an excellent gift because the recipient is guaranteed to at least like one of the 150 designers in the book, plus you can't beat the price.

Help! I have a "Shemergency"

Posted Oct 30th 2007 at 8:04AM by Lauren Messiah

Shemergency Survival Kit
"She"-mergencies.

We have them all the time -- bum bra strap, chipped nail polish, bad hair day. Not only do they happen all the time, but they suck when they do because we are never prepared for them. I am sorry but I just don't go to the store thinking about the run in my black opaque tights or spinach between my teeth after that lunch meeting. Thank goodness someone else thought of those pesky emergencies and put everything we need in a handy dandy kit.

The Shemergency Kit comes with everything you will ever need and it's only $20. I say this with complete confidence: this will be the best $20 you ever spend. Here is what it's got:

  • Hairmergencies: Folding Hair Brush with Mirror, Hair Spray, Clear Elastics
  • Jewelry Hijinks: Earring Backs
  • Hand Help: Hand Lotion, Nail Clipper, Emery Board, Clear Nail Polish, and Nail Polish Remover
  • Clothing Catastrophe: Mending Kit, Safety Pin, and Double-Sided Tape
  • Dirty Disaster: Lint Remover, Shoe Shine Wipes, Stain Remover, Static Remover
  • Mouth Mess: Breath Freshener, Lip Balm, Dental Floss
  • Pain Problem: Pain Reliever, Adhesive Bandages
  • And the rest: Deodorant Wipes, Tampon, Facial Tissues
Now please try to tell me with a straight face that you don't want that.
