Holiday dresses, our favorites - Tip of the day!

Filed under: Style Tip of the Day

The holiday season is nearly upon us. Wasn't it (literally) just yesterday that it was 80 degrees outside and today it's 55? Oy! No matter. We've got to suck it up and dress it up, even though the weather outside is getting frightful.

Here are some of the best holiday dresses we have found. You can dress them up with heels for a holiday fete or dress them down with flats and a cardigan for an after work cocktail hour. And keep in mind, a holiday dress doesn't always have to be in black either! Buying just one of these delightful little frocks will get you through the entire season and then some so make your purchase worth your while.

Cool deal for sweater season

Filed under: Holiday Style, Clothing, Men, Steals and Deals


The holidays are great and all -- seeing family, celebrating with friends, blah blah blah. But the best thing about winter is undoubtedly the clothing. In the spring and summer you're stuck trying to look cool in whatever won't make you sweat, but in the colder months you have options.

Like this Armani Exchange ribbed wool sweater. The fitted, ribbed look is great, especially for broad-chested guys, but my favorite part is the kangaroo pockets -- a clever little addition, and a great way to keep your hands from turning into ice cubes.

And to top it off, the sweater is a steal at only $22.49. Buy it for yourself, or make up for the crappy Christmas present you gave your brother/boyfriend/spouse with a little belated holiday cheer.

Victoria's Secret sale: Selfish guys find last minute gifts!

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Steals and Deals


Racking your brain trying to think of a last minute gift for the special lady in your life? There's only four shopping days left until Christmas. So if you've been putting it off, the time to act is right now.

I know, I know -- sometimes it's hard to think of what to give someone else. Maybe this year you shouldn't bother trying to be considerate, and instead get her something that you'll really enjoy -- sexy lingerie! Even better, is that Victoria's Secret has just launched their Semi-Annual Sale, so you can buy the hottest undies at almost half the price.

It's a Christmas miracle!

Holiday shopping deadlines

Filed under: Holiday Style


It's getting down to crunch time. If you haven't started your holiday shopping, you better get out to the mall right now. And even if you have found gifts for the loved ones on your list, if you won't be seeing them in person this season, it's time to get those stylish presents in the mail -- pronto!

Here's a few deadlines to keep in mind as we approach the last few shopping days before Christmas:

  • FedEx: Saturday, December 22, 2007, is the last day to ship in time for Christmas arrival.
  • U.S. Postal Service: Monday was the last day to send domestic mail for arrival before Christmas. Express Mail sent by Saturday will arrive on Christmas day.
  • Amazon.com: Monday was the deadline for free shipping for orders of $25 or more. Tuesday is the deadline for standard shipping orders to arrive by Christmas Day. Last day for expedited shipping to arrive by Christmas is Saturday, December 22, 2007.
  • L.L. Bean: Last day for free shipping to US addresses is noon EST on December 21, 2007.

  • Nordstroms: Last day for free shipping is December 19 at noon.
  • Macy's: December 19 at noon.

Holiday party tip: Buy a blazer

Filed under: Holiday Style, Clothing, Men


Sure, holiday parties are a blast, but they're probably a little dressier than your day-to-day wardrobe. You could run out and spend hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars on nicer outfits, but the truth is that a few items will make all the difference.

One of those items is a blazer. This will come in handy when you need to look really nice -- khakis, ties, dress shoes, etc -- but also will take just a about any outfit from sloppy to chic.

Check out this Kenneth Cole Two Button Blazer as a possible option. It's formal enough for anything short of a black tie affair, but looks fantastic with jeans and festively-colored dress shirt. I'd also recommend this brown leather sport coat from Alfani (which is what I'm wearing this holiday season). As you can see in the photo, it works with a shirt and tie, but also looks great with a hooded sweatshirt -- even a t-shirt if you're going to a pseudo-casual party. Plus, it's fairly warm, so you can get away without wearing a bulky overcoat.

Add a nice pair of boots, and your grubby jeans and t-shirts suddenly start to look like Christmas party attire.

Celebs at the holidays: Who's hot and who's not?

Filed under: Holiday Style, Celebrities with Style





The holiday season is in full swing, and practically every night is filled with one festive gathering or another -- office parties, house parties, blah blah blah. It's a time of year that presents a particularly difficult challenge for those who are stylishly inclined -- how do you look fun and festive without going overboard? No one wants to be a Scrooge for the sake of fashion, but no one wants to be that guy at the office Christmas gala who wears the blinking, singing, Santa sweater that makes everyone cringe.

If it's any consolation, celebrities have the same problem. There's tons of parties, events, and functions during the month of December, and your favorite actors, models, and designers are all working to find just the right balance of high fashion and holiday cheer.

Are they up to the task? You be the judge. Check out these celebrity holiday looks, and then vote on whether they're hot...or not.

Guy gift ideas: Try a watch

Filed under: Holiday Style, Accessories, Men

As I've mentioned before, I'm sure it's not easy to figure out what you man might want for Christmas. If you don't feel like shelling out hundreds of dollars for a Wii, or a new set of state-of-the-art power tools, stick to what you're good at. There's a number of small things he'd never buy for himself that, if taken care of, would make him significantly more stylish (which is great when you need to show him off to friends, colleagues, etc -- right?).

Like a watch, for instance. My guess is he either doesn't wear one, or has some ugly black, rubber, sporty thing that's somehow still ticking away from when he was in high school. Gently encourage him to start dressing like a grown up with one of these classy Timex or Casio watches on Target.com. They're functional, straightforward, and stylish -- but also aren't absurdly expensive.

The best part, is that until December 31st, the watches are 5-15% off. Check it out!

Dress of the Day: Elijah Sleeveless Tie Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

elijah sleeless tie dressIt's time to start thinking about all those Holiday parties coming up, isn't it?

Since jewel tones are big this season and they're a perennial choice for Holiday dressing, the Sleeveless Tie Dress by Elijah is a natural, especially since it's also purple. Oddly enough, the eggplant colored dress is made of 100% cotton, though it's got a sheen to it. The gathered neckline ties around the neck, halter-style, and features a sexy keyhole opening in the back. We're thinking a giant-jewel accented sandal as the perfect pair for this dress.

Available from Neiman Marcus for $265.
