A jewel-toned satin holiday dress for under $15? Count me in! I’m definitely not going to pass up this Natane Tube Dress, $14.50 as my Forever 21 Pick of the Day! There are currently six colors to choose from and plenty of sizes still available. My favorite is most definitely the red, but the magenta could be fun for New Year’s….maybe I should get both??? This dress looks fabulous paired with a little velvet bolero or cardigan, sheer black hosiery, a bow clutch, and killer heels. Add $5.95 for s&h.

After seeing Madonna in concert for the first time this October, my twenty-some year obessession with the pop legend blazed anew. My boyfriend is getting a little fed-up of the Hardy Candy album rotation in our itunes playlist, and while driving home to Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving, I made sure that we had no less than three Madonna cds in the car ready to slide in and keep me bopping to the beat all the way down the PA turnpike. Back to the point — several photos just surfaced from the advertising campaign for Louis Vuitton, starring none other than Madge! Due to appear in fashion magazines this February, the ads, shot by Steven Meisel, has a definite French-bistro theme (although shot in L.A., of course). All I have to say is — love it!

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show aired this Wednesday, and as always, it gave us motivation to go to the gym, and showed us how to spice up our lingerie with random items like flowered lattice! Perhaps this is why the craft queen, Martha Stewart was in the audience.
This year one of the most prominent trends on the glittering runway was greek goddess meets Xena Warrior Princess. Adriana Lima sported arm cuffs, Karolina Kurkova wore a leather half-corset, and most of the models’ legs were laced up with ribbons. This style was a departure from the typical cute and glitzy looks seen in previous years.
Of course if the Victoria Secret models were to be any sort of actual Greek warrior, it would most likely be Athena. Cue the long and flowing sheer drapery — Miranda Kerr’s gold leaf necklace, and Alessandra Ambrosio’s gold wings. Still, no Victoria Secret Fashion Show would be complete without Heidi Klum strutting around with a giant, twinkling, pink bow attached to her back! But our favorite part of the show? Watching Marisa Miller cure her pre-show nerves with a chocolate glazed doughnut! We loved watching silly backstage moments like these amidst the runway footage. It showed us that maybe we’re not so different from angels afterall!
