Who's Your Sugar Daddy?

Christmas is in two weeks, and you probably haven't picked up anything for the most important person on your list: Your BFF (best fashion friend). After all, she's not the easiest person to shop for, right? And, if she's anything like mine, she owns everything known to (wo)man. Until now, that is.

SugarDaddyShop.ca, the brainchild of ex-Exec Karen McNaughton, has items that will make your BFF look hip and stylish, while expressing her originality through creative, inspired jewelry and accessories. Want to let her know how much you appreciate her fashion advice (even when you don't ask for it)? Then get her theHonesty reversible charm necklace ($49) from Pick Up Sticks. Or, maybe you just want her to know how much you appreciate her unique sense of style. Then, check out the Pink Vintage Circlenecklace ($39) by Wine on Sunday.
Or, if she's a total bitch, just get her her the Queen of Everythingreversible pendant necklace ($49). And don't worry, she'll take it as a compliment ;)

Burqa For Boys? Um, Not Exactly.

For days I've been reading about these "boy burqas" invading the UK fashion scene. And, as you probably guessed, the headline "Burqa For Boys" was merely an attempt to get me to read further (which obviously worked).

More like a men's hoodie, these jackets cover up the head and face and leaves two 'goggle-slots' to see through. Borrowed from Italian couture, these jackets have become the latest in-thing to hit the fashion streets in the UK. Not a new concept, they were created in the 1980s in homage to the protective gear worn by drivers in the Mille Miglia, the endurance race which started in the 1920s. It's only been recently, however, that they've started to pop up in large numbers.

Now, let's be fair. A burqa is a floor-length, hotter-than-hell, "modesty" garmet that women are (for the most part) forced to wear. In contrast, these "boy burqas" are really just wrap-around hoodies (more storm trooper than oppressive garment). So, enough with the boy burqa already. I want to hear more about men's undergarments.

Fashion Postess With the Mostess

Part Audrey Hepburn, part Go-Go's, and part Minnie Mouse, postlapsaria.com has everthing an urban fashionista could ever want in a wardrobe (and then some).

Postlapsaria, the brainchild of Keiko Lynn, features designs from 11 budding (sometimes quirky) model-esque designers and artists, each with a unique take on girly-chic. Looking for something fun and functional? Check out the stretchy green and white, long sleeved top with a mock turtle/collar combo and giant, fabric covered buttons ($70). Or maybe you want something feminine and flirty? Then the stretchy baby blue and white cotton interlock top with a white, ruffle trimmed yoke, low back and fabric covered buttons ($65) should do the trick

While you're there, be sure to check out the "Ask Drew Lindo" section. He's no Dr. Phil (he actually has hair!) and his advice leaves much to be desired. But his heart is in the right place. (And it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes!)

From Russia With Love

If Andre from VH1's America's Most Smartest Model has you believing that nothing good in fashion can come from Russia, perhaps I can sway your opinion. A favorite "folk fetish" of mine has been (and will always be) Russian nesting dolls. When Juicy Couture gave the fashion world a taste of matryoshka style last year with their Russian nesting doll necklace, they rekindled my Russian doll flame, and there's no sign of it going out.

For you after-dark fashionistas, get cozy in a pair of Bed Head's cotton sateen Russian Doll pajamas ($122) at hipundies.com. Unlike granny pj's, this fitted number has a mandarin collar and girly cut so you can look feminine while still being comfortable. Or, maybe daytime is more your style. In that case, check out the Matryoshka 3/4 sleeve raglan tee($19.95) from zazzle.com. It packs just enough girl power without being overly cutsie, so your man won't roll his eyes every time you wear it. And, for those of you who can't totally commit, then a simple pair of Russian doll stud earrings ($15) from snazzygirl.com should do the trick.

Of course, you can always count on one-of-kind matryoshka finds (like the"Hello Comrade" handbag at etsy.com). Just don't go crazy getting your "Russian doll on." Because if there's one thing I've learned from watching self-proclaimed supermodel Andre, it's this: Nobody likes a person who's always putting their love of all things Russian in your face.

"It Girl" Alert: Get Your White Fur Fix!

Got $42,000 to drop on a Dolce & Gabbana white fur coat? I didn't think so. But apparently you need one if you want to be this season's "it girl."

For those of us living in the real world (sorry, Kate!) but still want to stay in step with the trends, it's all about the faux white fur coat. It's cheaper, animals don't die, and you can dump it when it's not cool anymore. (If only we could do that with the men in our lives!)

For you floor-length fashionistas, metrostyle.com has a white faux fur coat($129) that will knock the other snow bunnies dead. (No, not real snow bunnies. I mean the ones you hang with on the weekends!) Or, if you like 'em short and sweet, check out the 3/4 sleeve to-die-for Ava white faux fur coat (£50.00) at monsoon.co.uk. And, for those of you who want something with a little more attitude, check out the B.B. Jeans Faux Fur Hooded Pom Pom Jacket ($47) at overstock.com.

And while you're at it, pick one up for your favorite four-legged friend, like the Snow White fur coat ($37.95) at glamourdog.com. Not only will it keep your pooch warm and cozy, she'll also be the first "it dog" on the block!

Make It a "Haute Pink" Christmas

Since I was a little girl, I fantasized about a girly pink Christmas tree. And now that I'm older, I fantasize about cute guys sitting at bus stops. (Wait, where am I going with this.) Ahhh, yes. Pink Christmas trees!

http://www.sohodecor.com/ takes "going girly" one step further with a hot pinkthemed Christmas tree (sure to make any man in your life run the opposite direction screaming, "My eyes! My eyes!") From felt handbags and party dresses to stilettos and pink martini glasses, this tree leaves no fashion stone unturned (unless you were hoping for a Miss Jay ornament, in which case you're out of luck!)
Now, if you've already purchased your tree and ornaments or just can't muster up the courage to subject your significant other to a painfully feminine holiday, might I suggest a stylish pink Christmas tree wallpaper for your computer? It's not exactly the same as a hot pink tree, but it won't land you on Santa's naughty list either. (Make that your man's naughty list, which is worse!)

Go "Girly Couture" for Chanukah

Hey, Jewish fashionistas! Who needs Hello Kitty when you've got Shalom Kitty? That's right! You will will go ga-ga (or oy oy!) when you feast your eyes on these girly tees.

Kosher Kafe has outdone themselves with some adorable new (and down right sassy!) designs for hip Jewish chicks. Dining out with friends? Maybe you'll opt for "Jewcy Couture" or "Jewy Vuitton." Or perhaps you just want to have some fun with your look? Then, "Ooey Jewy Goodness" or "Joanie Loves Tchotchke" might get a good laugh or two. (I could spend an hour listing all the great designs, but I would probably break a nail and my manicure isn't due for another four days.)

For you shiksas that forgot Chanukah came early this year, there are still six days left. So, if you're quick you might still have time to pick one up for your Jewish BFF. Otherwise, there's always her birthday!
