We all have our shopping lists for the holidays, which can get a little stressful. All those people to buy for! So I put together my own list of fun, no pressure involved, things to do this month. Happy Holidays everyone!
HOLIDAY MOVIES
Forget summer blockbusters! December is one of my favorite times of the year for movie action. My top two must-sees? Angelina Jolie, her fabulous wardrobe and, oh yeah, Johnny Depp in “The Tourist” and Gwyneth Paltrow as a fading country star in “Country Strong.”
VAMPIRE WEEKEND
Don’t want to brave the holiday movie crowds? Make some microwave popcorn and hit the couch with the latest “Twilight” movie. The nearly two billion dollar “Twilight” franchise is gonna get even bigger with the DVD release of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” on December 4th. The two-disc set includes deleted scenes, photos and six-part making-of documentary.
JT’S CHEAP CHIC STYLE
Look good without breaking the bank when Justin Timberlake and his longtime buddy, Trace Ayala, bring their high-end William Rast line (a fave of Kate Hudson and Jessica Biel) to Target. William Rast for Target debuts December 19th and the collection features skirts, blazers, tank tops, plaid shirts and jeans, which run about $50. A hip leather jacket goes for $200. www.target.com
SWEET TREATS
Treat yourself! December 15th is National Cupcake Day- the perfect excuse to celebrate my favorite dessert! I just discovered Cupcake Cuties, a totally fun way to dress up plain cupcakes. Each Cupcake Cuties Kit comes with toppings and printed “sleeves” that wrap around the base of the cupcake. Turn your cupcake into Santa Clause for the holidays, a pumpkin for Halloween, even a martini or a box of popcorn! They also have designs for birthdays, baby and wedding showers. $19.99 to $23.99 at www.cupcakecuties.com.
DREAM WORTHY CELEB SPLURGE
It’s always fun to fantasize about outrageous, big-ticket items every holiday season and here’s one every fashionista would love to own. Victoria Beckham launches her first bag line this month. There are six chic, classic styles including a clutch and a shoulder bag. The aptly named “Victoria” retails for $3500! Posh, indeed! The bags are exclusively available at Bergdorf Goodman and are scheduled to arrive mid-month (www.bergdorfgoodman.com). The bags will also be sold at Neiman Marcus in Los Angeles and at www.net-a-porter.com.
