I have rediscovered Clinique’s Black Honey lipstick (literally the first lipstick I ever owned; I got it as a birthday gift in seventh grade) and cannot stop wearing it. Also, it was conceptualized way back in 1971 as a “black turtleneck” for lips, which is cool.
Cressida and Huxley may be my new favorite baby names. And Lou. (Hipster Baby Names You Haven’t Heard Of.)
These leatherette jeans are HOT.
Good-bye, eight hundred white t-shirts. (10 Things You’ll Regret Packing After Your Next Move.)
I love this windowsill garden kit so much. Mostly because it is seriously, completely mindless. (Great gift idea.)
“Trendy clothes. Cab fare. Bar tabs. Also: drugs, besides pot, because pot encourages not going out. Pot is a good investment.” (NYC Women On The Dumbest Things They Spend Their Money On.)
This faux fur circle scarf is gorrrrgeous.
Ben and Jen are on the rocks…?! Have I been under a rock? Had no idea, and am sad now. (Eight Celebrity Couples We Wish Would Break Up Already, via Crushable.)

These booties, though.
The secret Hollywood procedure that has had filmgoers fooled for years. In retrospect: obviously. (via Mashable)
Every single person in my life needs this new way to never lose anything again (ever). Mostly Kendrick, though.
Vanilla and Oatmeal Lip Balm, ooh (stocking stuffer!).
This Internet star used a ghostwriter for her debut novel. Hm. On the one hand: probably should have been a “Written by X with Zoe Sugg” credit on the cover. But if she and the publisher were honest with her fans about only having contributed the story and characters…hey, lots of celebs use ghostwriters, and if her name on the thing gets people buying and reading books, that’s a positive, right? But still. Still. Hm. What do you think?
The Acqua di Parma Silver Gems candle (pictured above with my extremely odd table display that also includes a tiny gold creature terrarium, wooden giraffes, a buddha, and – inexplicably – a conch shell) smells like orange, vanilla, cedar wood and patchouli. So like Christmas in the forest, basically.
These pants are on their way to my house. They are so very Justin Bieber, and I do not care. #superexcited #harempantme
Want to give back this holiday season…but feeling overwhelmed by the options? Charity Navigator ranks charities by cause, offers tips for giving, and even tells you which to avoid. (We’re giving to our local YMCA and to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, which gets four stars for transparency and accountability.)
Well, this is the happiest video I have ever seen (via Gothamist).
