I'm going to be quite honest, I'm years away from having a baby myself- but that doesn't mean I don't adore buying shower gifts! From Jessica Alba's daughter and the birth of Vivienne and Knox Jolie-Pitt it seems that this spring and summer has been baby mania and I've noticed the baby bump trend isn't just for celebs! With baby shower invitations racking up, I've started looking for new shower gift options. A huge part of the fun of a baby shower is the opening of all the gifts- everyone loves to ooh and ahh at the cute little outfits and toys. While practical gifts like diapers and formula are always appreciated, now more than ever there are more stylish and interesting gifts for the modern mom. I'm loving the mod circles baby blanket from babystyle.com that's useful as well as modern and cool. Another great original gift- Little Miss Matched Baby socks- which comes with 9 socks, since you're bound to lose one in the wash! Many of mommy-to-be's favorite designers are now making clothes for their mini-mes, from cozy C&C California and Joie dresses and tees to tailored kids clothes from Tocca. And don't forget something for the mom to be as well- she will absolutely appreciate a spa treatment or an at home kit like Mama Mio's countdown kit, which comes with Tummy Rub Butter and massage oil. See my SLIDESHOW for the rest of the gifts!
What's the Most Fashionable Way to Celebrate New Year's Eve?

Everybody has a different way to bring in the new year. Some (like me) prefer small, intimate cocktail parties with friends, where you can laugh and reminisce over the past year while actually hearing yourself think. Others would rather hear nothing more that a pulsing bass line amid a crush of trendy humanity at a trendy nightclub as they party their way into 2008 (that was me five years ago). Still more go to the opposite extreme, a quiet night at home with their significant other, cuddling in front of a roaring fire with a glass of champagne and a serious cheese plate (me in 2013, no doubt). How about you?
