Have. Want. Need.
Knowing that this Louis Vuitton Groom Key and Change Holder, $210, is inspired by a 1921 advertisement makes it a little more understandable. It, along with other Monogram Groom collection items, is supposed to celebrate LV's rich history in luxury travel goods. It's definitely cute to look at, but I don't think I'd use it - it's too masculine for my taste. Would you? To post your selections go Read more

I'm excited to present a post from one of my favorite sites, Stylelist Home. The idea of a homemade gift might cause you to scream à la Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone, but we're hoping to change that stigma. Sure, homemade gifts can be a miss, but it's all about finding a great idea, which is where we come in. When done right, a handmade gift should be personalized for the giftee, making it more Read more
'Tis the season to put others ahead of your own wants and needs, but this Star Wars Breakfast Beverage Set ($30) is the perfect gift to give yourself this Winter. Keep warm in the cold morning air with this trio of Vader's Dark Side Roast, Hoth Chocolate (my fave), and Yoda Dagobah Green Tea, each packed in a tin can for freshness, which can then be reused for a variety of other things — as a Read more
Lots of moms like to think out loud, and CherylDee is one of them. Here is one of the latest posts to her Lipsticks to Baby Bottles blog. Prior to having Kiara, I always wondered why parents were lugging around this huge bag on top of having to push a stroller with a baby. I thought, "Seriously? Aren't you carrying just a little too much?" Boy was I wrong! Now that I have a child, I can totally Read more

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy! We love the motto “be prepared.” But when it comes to the average American’s wallet, there’s such a thing as over-prepared. From the looks of our bulging billfolds, we must be heading out each day to open a new line of credit, fill out a W-2, shop at several department stores, use a few gift cards, return an item or two, Read more
ING Direct is famous for being truly digital — not having brick-and-mortar stores and offering paperless accounts. However, it seems it has succumbed to its customers' needs and is offering the option for ING account holders to use paper checks. Although paper-check payments are slowly being phased out as banking becomes more digital, checks still make up less than 25 percent of non-cash Read more
I like to think I haven't changed much over the years, but one area that does take exception to this rule would be my drinking preferences. Over the past decade, Long Islands, Jägerbombs, and lemon drops have been replaced by Sazeracs, gin martinis, and my standby, the old-fashioned.
