weekend wrap-up

Friends, the house is empty today and I’m partying like it’s 1995.  An entire 2 liter of Diet Dr Pepper + an empty house + me + hip hop? 

It’s not pretty, but it’s a party.

A few things I wanted to remind you about over the weekend:

• I shared Top 10: Fashion Trends for the Holidays on Tip Junkie this week.  Hint: fur is hot, in more way than one.
• I’m giving away an Epiphanie camera bag and you want to get in on the love.  It’s the most gorgeous camera bag known to man.  Hurry!
• If you still haven’t gotten out a holiday card, just do a post card, it’s so much cheaper.
• I walk you through {vlog you through} how to make homemade sugar scrub.  For all the friends on your holiday list.
• I’m speaking at the Altitude Design Summit.  You coming?  I want to hang.

Elsewhere on the web:

I write for BabyCenter’s Momformation blog every week, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t share the last two posts I wrote:

• Vajazzling your vajayjay {it’s absolutely what it sounds like, and it’s horrifying}
• Matching Family Pajamas, do you or don’t you? {I’ll give you a hint: Viktor would rather be drawn and quartered….}

Some of my favorite posts from the week:

• We Covet featured some jeweled black flats this week, and I want a pair.  Pronto.
• Five Holiday Albums that don’t suck.  I want the Glee one, natch.
• The Bloggess interviewed Santa.  Who on earth thought that was a good idea?
• Kristen Bell got something right.  The Fug Girls give her a thumbs up for this outfit.  Kristen, how’s about you pick a good movie role to showcase your acting talent?  I haven’t seen those chops since Veronica Mars ended.  *sigh*
• Christmas Desktop Wallpaper from How About Orange
• Jane makes hot chocolate from scratch.  I know.  This is why she’s a food blogger and I’m not.

Have a great weekend.  I have a few giveaways up my sleeve early next week.  And I got to interview Meg Cabot this week and can’t wait to share the details.
