Sure, the expression is that you can kill two birds with one stone, but with mere days left to shop you might want to consider going with multiple stones – of the sparkly Swarovski variety, that is.
Aldo has teamed up with the world-renowned crystal company to create an exclusive collection of blinged-out baubles guaranteed to satisfy that stylish sister and fashion-forward friend on your list.
With gems this gorgeous, that bird doesn’t stand a chance.
The Huzzard necklace (shown) is available at Aldo stores and aldoshoes.com for $180.

But she’s not the only one sporting flower prints in freezing temperatures: Stephanie and I were snapped last week (Grey Cup in hand!) channelling sunnier days in bloom-print pieces.
In the spirit of seasonless dressing, we paired our floral-print fashions with a cozy cardi (on her) and opaque black tights (on me) to get more mileage out of our warm-weather wear.
What do you think? Are flowers the perfect pick-me-up on dreary winter days or are they best saved for springtime?

Let’s just say that ski and snowboard season arrived fashionably late. And now that the snow is finally falling, it’s time to suit up for the slopes in style.
Thankfully pro snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler has teamed up with Oakley to design a collection of technical outerwear that’s sure to turn heads. My favourite piece by the 2010 Vancouver Olympics contender? This Mane Jacket, crafted from recycled and recyclable materials with a removable faux-fur hood, inverted back pleats and super-cute button details. Waterproof and breathable, it’ll do the trick from Tremblant to Whistler this winter.

These scandalous little stocking stuffers are sure to be a hit. Eco-friendly and made from 100 percent soy wax, each candle features a clever name and a correspondingly cheeky scent, from the Hot Mama aroma of sugar and spice to the fittingly festive fir-fragranced Hanukkah Bush and candy-cane-scented Santa’s Pole. Give the gift of laughter with every light!
$18 at joshuadavid.ca. Order by December 21.

Shiny, healthy-looking hair? Good. Gunky buildup? Not so much.
Stop piling on the product and pick up a bottle of Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Restorative Styling Oil. The surprisingly lightweight treatment-slash-styler not only conditions and protects your locks with its blend of manketti, argan and evening-primrose oils, it also boosts shine, smooths frizz and is a godsend when it comes to taming pesky wintertime flyaways. As Joanna would say, loves!
Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Restorative Styling Oil $21.50 at select salons. 1-800-4676, joico.com
