I'm all about feathers in the home, and the holidays are no exception! If you liked the tabletop feather trees I rounded up, you'll love these flighty ornaments. Delicate and sophisticated, these tree adornments are either inspired by the motif, like this set of Three Feather Ornaments ($40), or the real deal, like these gorgeous peacock feather ornaments ($3-$4).

It's time for cookies, candy, and whatever else kind of confection you can get your hands on. So in the spirit of the season — and in conjunction with the fact that several nail polish brands produce lacquers with delectable-sounding names — it's time for another round of This or That. Orly's Sugar Plum ($7) nail polish might share a name with a certain sugar-coated fruit-flavored candy, but for the items listed below, can you guess if it's a holiday treat or nail polish shade?

This week, I'm bidding San Fran farewell till after the New Year, and heading to Miami to soak up the sun and ring in the holiday on the beach. While I confess I'll probably spend most of the trip lounging by the shore or at the pool, there's more to pack than swimwear ($180). I'm adding something festive for my holiday parties, my Matt Bernson gladiators ($102, originally $169), and my favorite new bag. Take a peek at what I'm packing and shop for your own stylish vacay.
This week, I asked for you to style me up in something hot for the holidays. I wanted something sizzling, sequined . . . sexy — basically a blowout holiday look for any seasonal soiree. Calicocobuble brought her A-game to the challenge and fulfilled everything I was looking for, even a bit of tulle. Here's to a very happy holiday.
If you've got a bunch of parties coming up in the next couple of weeks, you're probably already aware of how stressful they can be — especially if you're going straight from work and don't have all your stuff with you. Not to worry, though, because you can have a whole beauty arsenal without carrying much of anything.
Mascara inevitably flakes and eyeliner always creeps, so it's smart to carry makeup remover. This Make Up For Ever Mini Sens'Eyes & Aqua Eyes Travel Kit ($14) will fit easily into a clutch, and if you throw in one of these Dior Best in Show Mini Mascaras ($18), you've got an entire fresh eye look. Hair misbehavior is also a possibility, especially if the weather is bad, so a tiny smoother like this Baby Croc Mini Flat Iron ($29) is a wise investment, as are hair tamers like a Sally Girl Mini Foil Brush ($1) and Juicy Couture Ponytail Holders ($25). Multitask your blush and lip gloss with this tiny Anna Sui Mini Rouge ($20), and to smell fresh, slip a teensy Love & Toast Mini Perfume ($12) in your coin purse.
In celebration of the season, say Santa (fur) baby and bring your pets to pose with the guy in the red suit! Since not all mall Santas will know how to handle it, here are five tips to get your pets prepped and keep everyone happy in the process.

I love seeing all your cute pets in Pet Pic of the Day, but I've got a special challenge for our Dress Up Extravaganza! group in the spirit of the season. Please add photos of your furry (or feathered or fishy) friends enjoying the chilly weather — snow, Santa, trees, (unlit) menorahs — whatever makes you think of Winter; I want to see it.

Ho, ho, ho, it's Santa Claus Paws! Whether you're bringing your four-legged friend to a holiday party or just decking him out for Christmas family gatherings, there are plenty of Saint Nick-inspired hats and coats to festively outfit your furball. I'm especially smitten with this faux-fur-trimmed fleece Santa Paws Dog Costume ($25), but a Bearded Santa Hat ($12) is sure to elicit a chuckle or two. And for just a little bit of Xmas flair, a Red Santa Dog Scarf ($10) or a sweet knit Santa hat ($26) could be just the ticket for pets not in the full-costume mood.
