The rush to get things pushed out before the Holidays literally consumed every corner of my mind. Every thought, blink and sigh was devoted to working hard so I could enjoy some much deserved time off.  Hopefully I'll have more photos to share over the next week as I have a built in photographer (Mamacita is in town!). I'm dying to know what your Holiday plans are - please tell me in the comments below!

Happy Holidays! xo

Let's face it - it's December 22. If you haven't found the perfect present for someone yet, you're running out of time. A present should be clever, thoughtful and above all - useful.  That's why I love the Sandisk Sansa Clip+.

I know what you're thinking - if I were going to buy an mp3 player, I'd just buy an iPod. But consider the Sansa Clip+ for a moment. Not only is it offered in 3 colors (red, blue & black) but you can also buy it at varying size levels (2, 4 & 8 GB). Plus, you can listen to FM radio (your iPod can't do that!) and when you begin to run out of room for all your amazing music, the Sansa Clip+ offers an expandable memory slot (also something your iPod can't do). Also you can record your thoughts, soundbytes or other audio musings with the built in microphone & recorder.

The USB connectivity makes the Sansa Clip+ a no-brainer for even the most technologically challenged.  To load songs onto the player, all you have to do is drag & drop your music files from your hardrive to the player's location on your computer. Simple enough?

If you're in the last minute rush, you can pick up the Sandisk Sansa Clip+ at Wal-Mart, Best Buy & there's even still time to order from Amazon.

What's your idea of the perfect last minute present?

Admit it - every day is stressful, but that stress doubles during the Holiday season. Not only do you have to work to get everything done before you leave for the Holidays, but you have to shop for everyone's presents and deal with some sort of inevitable family drama. Origins realizes that stuff happens, but there is a way for us to deal with it all.

This Holiday season, they've paired their widly popular (and one of my personal favorites), Peace of Mind On The Spot Relief, with delighful mints in handy to-go packaging.

Holiday stress is no joke folks - pick this smart product up for everyone you know. Minty tingle, minty fresh breath and smiles for everyone. What else could you ask for?

These days, if you were to mention Guinness in fashion circles, people might instantly think of fashion icon Daphne Guinness, but there's another fashion Guinness that has been making quirky accessories since before the magic of the internet introduced us to Daphne Guinness.

Lulu Guinness is a designer best known for her signature clutch - a pair a bright red, lacquered lips. Her style is equal parts quirky, charming and delightful, with whimsical elements like flowers, birds, silhouettes and other feminine details. On top of producing darling accessories that any girl would be lucky to own, her line is affordably priced, making it accessible for almost everyone who wants a piece of Guinness.

My pick for this Holiday season are the Red Pave Crystal Lip Earrings. These studs pack a punch, lacqured & studded with red, they're sure to spice up any outfit that is needing that extra touch. Pair them with a classic red lipstick and you've made the quite the "read my lips" statement.

The Red Pave Crystal Lip earrings retail for about $65 at Lulu Guinness stores & LuluGuinness.com.

Do you have a friend who loves anything studded (Ms. Eye4Style, I'm looking at you)? I love studs on my clothing, studs on my shoes, studs on my bags and especially studs on my accessories. In fact, I've been on the hunt for the perfect pair of studded hoops that would last for more than 5 wears for a few months now.

I won't lie, when I first saw Jennifer Lopez's vide for "Fresh Out The Oven", my first thought was 'this song is really bad!' and my second thought was 'her studded jewelry is fantastic!'. It just so happens that Noir Jewelry provided all the amazing studded items for the video. Not to mention, their prices are reasonable.

The Brass Pyramid Spike large pyramid stud earrings are available for $75 at NoirJewelry.com. The other studded jewelry that can be seen in the video, including the Brooklyn Bridge ring and the pyramid studded bracelets are also available at NoirJewelry.com.

Do you have a friend who is as obsessed with studs as Ms. Eye4Style and I? Tell me about it!

Don't you love when a Christmas present comes early? In fact, I wasn't supposed to know about this one at all, but they were purchased in my presence and I can't help it if I'm tall enough to see into a shopping bag...........can I?

Regardless, I am delighted to have them early thanks to Kimberley Williamson (you might remember her as my photographer) so I can enjoy them on my commute to work this short week. Admittedly, I've already tested them out on my iPod - I couldn't be more in love.

There is something so personal about listening to an album through headphones. If you're lucky enough to close your eyes, you'll notice nuances in the music you might have otherwise missed - extra notes, subtly hidden melodies or even whispers that make the song more dynamic. Even if you listen to the song without headphones afterwards, you'll be able to catch the small details you discovered while wearing headphones.

Heartbeats by Lady Gaga are some of the most exquisitely designed headphones I've had the opportunity to use. Each note is amplified. The bass notes are perfection in your ears. Heartbeats create a unique listening experience that I would like to imagine only Lady Gaga could bring (when partnered with Monster technology).

What I love most about the headphones (aside from the amazing sound) are that the earbuds look like a piece of jewelry when you wear them. They aren't adorned with any cheesy crystals (as much as they might appear to be) - they are actually a carved chrome material. I'm not 100% on the best way to describe them, but once you see them in person, you fall hopelessly in love with the craftsmanship.

Monster promises that their new flat cable technology will be tangle free. If that wasn't enough to sell you on these gorgeous headphones, they also come signed by Lady Gaga with their very own carrying case that mimics the earbud's design.

As a bonus, if you purchase Hearbeats from the official website, you'll also receive a copy of The Fame Monster with your purchase. If you haven't found the perfect present for someone special, this just might be it!

Mmmm....That's the sound you'll hear when you give the gift of cupcakes (and quite possibly the sound you'll make, if the recipient is generous enough to share!). Crumbs is a NYC cupcake institution, offering more than 50 varieties of cupcakes daily. That's 5-0. With so many flavors, how can you choose just one!? (Seriously, I can't!)

Perfect for Holiday gifts, parties or random acts of kindness, Crumbs has created a Holiday Signature Collection, complete with 6 Signature-sized cupcakes (read: HUGE!) in Candy Cane, Egg Nog, Gingerbread, Peppermint Hot Cocoa, S'Mores and White Hot Chocolate for only $27. Delicious giant cupcakes packed with flavor and delivered to your door - is there any more that you could ask for?

If a 6 pack of huge cupcakes isn't fitting your needs, check out Crumb's other Holiday offerings. Plus, Crumb's offers local delivery in NYC & LA - if you're not near a Crumb's Bake Shop, UPS can have them delivered to your door quickly (and in time for Christmas, might I add!).

What I really want to know is - what are YOUR favorite cupcake flavors? I'm a traditional Red Velvet girl myself!
