EWP Stocking Stuffer: Envirosax

I've blogged about these before. They are totally my favorite thing. What's more useful than a big, and super cute, shopping bag that rolls up to conveniently tuck away into your purse for use at a moment's notice. I love Envirosax bags and keep them in all my purses. Yes, I have a million.

So what better stocking stuffer can there be? Super cute and super useful! And won't go straight to your thighs like a bunch of candy.

Or you can skip the wrapping paper or gift bag this year and just use an Envirosax bag to wrap up your gifts! I do actually plan on doing that. All that gift wrap going in the trash has always seemed like such a waste.

So be sure to pick up a few of these bags this holiday season.

EWP Holiday Tip: Holiday Cards

Now that it's after Thanksgiving, we can officially talk Christmas. Nevermind that I'm basically done with my Christmas shopping. Good thing I got it done early, now I have more time to help all of you!

First up, something that needs to be ordered early so it has time to be printed, addressed, and mailed: holiday cards.

Here is a MAJOR MAJOR EWP pet peeve in the holiday card department - photo holiday cards printed on glossy photo paper. Yuck yuck. Maybe I'm a stationery snob, but cards should be sent on card stock, not photo paper. If your card comes and is on photo paper, I swear I won't even put it up on my fridge. I can't even look at them. If you're going to go the personalized card route, don't do it halfway and cheap out with a glossy photo paper card, throw in the extra few cents and go with card stock.

My card site of choice is TinyPrints.com. I love that place. Shower invitations, holiday cards, even personalized stationery for BabyWP, all of it gets ordered from Tiny Prints. There are of course lots of sites to use - minted.com is also an adorable one - but I'm lazy and only got examples from Tiny Prints. But you get the idea. Say no to glossy photo paper. Say yes to card stock.

Another tip for your holiday card buying - pick a picture that actually tells the recipient something. If you've got children, you're in the clear. Just putting those cute munchkins is perfect. But I get so many generic posed couple shots but that doesn't really say anything to me. Did you get married? Buy a house? Have a baby? Go on a trip? Try to pick a picture that lets me know just a little something about your year.

Shoe Faux Pas

Please take a look at K.Mid's feet in the previous post and the engagement post. Y'all, she wears the same black pumps with everything. INCLUDING gowns which have no business being worn with black pumps. What is up with that? And these pics were taken over the course of several years. Are those seriously the only shoes the future princess owns? Maybe she's been losing shoes all over town hoping Prince Will would get the hint and pick one up and decide to propose or something. I dunno, but I do not approve.

new buys

I went a little online shopping crazy this week, but I got some awesome neutrals. I'm really bad about only buying bright colors and having no neutral pieces to tone the looks down. But I mean, how could anyone pick a brown sweater over a hot pink sweater? Maybe that's just me. Anyway, new buys:
J. Crew toothpick jeans in grey: J. Crew driving mocs in gold:

I guess I was in the mood to give J. Crew Group, Inc. a lot of business.

The Looks of Kate Middleton

Time to dissect the wardrobe of the princess-to-be.

1. Wrap Dresses - As Bettie Boyd has said, a wrap dress is every girl's best friend and Kate loves herself some wrap dresses. Can't say I'm totally on board with the prints she choose though...


2. Tailored coats - It's England. It gets cold. And she has to attend all those polo matches, so the lady has a vast supply of tailored coats.


3. Riding Boots - I'm sure as a future princess she has to do a lot of horse riding and attending polo events, etc., but gotta love the gal for also bringing out the riding boots with her jeans.

4. Prints - I will definitely give Kate credit for not shying away from a print, but, gosh, these are just not cute.

5. Skirts and boots - now this is my very favoritest cold weather look.

6. Long necklaces - another look I love. Simple and easy to jazz up any outfit - throw on a long necklace.

7. Weird hats - this is totally a British thing and I get that she has to wear them, but I totally do not like them.

8. Gowns - Whether by her fave designer Issa or just BCBG, Kate doesn't shy away from color when going formal. I applaud that, but really don't care for the bubblegum and turquoise gowns.

Verdict: she's a very pretty girl, but I really am excited for her to get the royal stylist.

Sliced Capades

Former Real Housewife of New York and Bravolebrity star of her own show: 'Bethenny Getting Married?' Bethenny Frankel is no stranger to stardom and celebrity gossip... but now that she's competing in yet another reality show 'Skating with the Stars' her episodes under the knife are under the microscope.

Our experts have weighed in and its quite obvious Bethenny has undergone a breast augmentation and uses injectable products like Botox and Juvederm.

And if you want to check out Bethenny's boobs pre-breast augmentation, look up that long lost movie Hollywood Hills 90028.

Skating with the Stars premieres tonight, and as a big fan of Bethenny, you can bet I'll be tuning in!
