If you're like us, your desk is littered with post-its, lists and reminders. In an effort to stay organized (and save trees) we're loving this environmentally friendly, white Ceramic Memo Board that can be used over and over again.

Yesterday on NBC's Today Show, StyleBakery had the opportunity to make over Donna McDonald, a woman ready to reenter the dating world with a brand new look. We dressed her in this fabulous plaid strapless party dress paired with a velvet trim cardigan and a ribbon/chain link belt - a holiday and date-worthy look for women of any age. This playful dress can be worn alone with a great necklace to a cocktail party or dressed down with a cardigan or even a cable knit v-neck.

We all love the warmth and beauty of glowing candles, but sometimes with kids or dogs in the home, they just aren't practical or safe. These smart flameless candles look just like the real thing, but without real fire.  Each wax candle has an LED that glows and flickers softly for years. A great way to decorate for the holidays - or give them as a hostess gift for your next invite.
