If you're a diehard fashionista, you've probably already been at work planning your holiday party outfits long before the invites arrived in your Gmail inbox, or maybe even revolving your holiday wishlist around your New Year's Eve getup-to-be. As a beauty fiend, however, I've been thinking long and hard about what to do with my hair! I've already got the killer sequined dress and the never-ending supply of makeup, but the rapidly declining temperature has really got my thirsty locks needing help. Long, shiny and straight, glossy curls, or soft romantic waves -- no matter what style I decide on for the Christmas cocktail party at hand, a conditioned coif is the first step. If you're hair is naturally thin and the dry air is doing nothing to liven it up, try out Phyto's Phytovolume Volumizing Shampoo that is designed to condition and lift a limp, weather-wearied 'do. And if you live in a harsh wintry climate (or plan on hitting the slopes for vacay sometime soon), consider John Frieda's Weather Works Sealant Creme for keeping your style in place despite the snow, sleet, and hail! Check the slideshow for some more winter hair must-haves to protect from breakage, dryness, and other cold weather woes!
Baby Style: 10 Stylish Gifts For The Modern Mom (And Baby Too)

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!
