the holiday edition. because we all have so much time to spend during the holidays,<\/span><\/h3>\n

so pourquoi pas?<\/p>\n

\"christmas\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Order yourself a Moleskine (or any other lust-worthy journal, for that matter), personalize the cover with lovely decorations (I personally would encrust it with crystals), and doodle a masterpiece on the first page?<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Find that old pointe shoe, spray paint it with glitter, attach a few embellishments here or there, and hang it up on your Christmas tree\/door\/wall?<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Bake these scrumptious looking Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes<\/a>? Or shall I call it the CCCC for short?<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Throw a last minute cocktail party where every guest is required to dress up, compile a playlist of dance-inducing songs (if you need any ideas just let me know, I have quite the list), and dance the night away?<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Start a “Spending” savings account (quite the oxymoron) with all the gift money you receive? That way, the next time you pine for days <\/em>over \u00a0that Giuseppe Zanotti patent, Swarovski crystal-encrusted bootie or that Miu Miu you’ve lusted for years? (The last was a direct reference to yours truly..)<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Remember the few “Shopping for Others” posts? Keep an eye out for things people you know will love – friends, family members, even fellow bloggers! If you see something, wrap it up, send it, and just imagine the look of surprise & excitement & immense gratitude on their face as they see the UPS package outside their door! Or…<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Initiate a holiday gift exchange with fellow blogger(s)? It would be quite interesting & fun awaiting the packages and\u00a0tearing\u00a0the UPS box open!<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Design your<\/em> perfect bag? If you’d like, put a link in the comments so I can see, or attach it to an email here<\/a>! I’d love to see your creations!<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\u00a0In the early morning, before the snow plows wake the entire neighborhood of sleep deprived commuters or school children, set a chair outside, and head out with a cup of hot chocolate in one hand and a camera in the other? Dress up for it too – a bit of glittery Urban Decay liquid eyeliner, colorful boots and matching scarves, the whole lot. Admire the morning, breathe the fresh air, & remember it forever with pictures. Why not feel glamorous while you’re at it? (Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner: $18, Sephora<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Carpe Diem? Grab a wingman and go clubbing – dance the night away! Kiss a cute boy, flirt with the sexy Starbucks guy behind the counter, sample some foods you’ve never tasted or thought you’d like, wear a bright turquoise eyeshadow (a la Gucci Spring 2009), put your best pout forward with bright pink lips, cut your long hair into a bob, smile & talk to the stranger you always meet at the library, etc. The day is yours, so seize it!<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Buy a luxurious set of pajamas, matching fuzzy slippers & all, and\u00a0don\u00a0a satin eye mask so you can truly indulge as you get your beauty sleep?<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Paint a message in the snow? Mix food coloring in a bottle with a nozzle with water. Then just paint away, drawing a picture, writing a message, expressing a wish, then step back to admire your masterpiece.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Rent a fabulous movie, pop the DVD into your laptop, pop a bag of popcorn, sit on your bed, & relax?<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Book a last minute flight to somewhere you’ve always wanted to go? Make a spontaneous trip to Paris, London, or where ever you choose!<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Invest in a fabulous cashmere scarf or shawl? I came across such a fabulous gray, leopard print one that felt like heaven to the touch. I hate myself for not mustering the courage to look at the price tag or hinting to my mother that I would be willing to give up Christmas and<\/em> birthday presents for a year for that scarf. So do avoid this mistake of mine! After all, cashmere is an essential to every winter wardrobe; it’s luxurious, warm, and just, well, fabulous.<\/p>\n
