Want to win Best-Dressed at your next holiday bash? Vaughan Mills asked me to round up some party-perf picks that go beyond the LBD for every holiday invite you've got on your calendar this season.
LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED...
Hosting a holiday party takes guts - whether it's an intimate little gathering, a family dinner or an epic bash, there's always loads of work to be done. You want your favourites to have fun, obviously. But you also want your place to look like magic. Once you've got your guest list, dinner menu and party playlist all figured out, it's time to turn your attention to decor. Luckily, you don't need a design degree, a big budget or even a massive amount of free time (what's that?) to make your house look like it's been decorated by a pro. Take a look at these 6 easy tricks to make your home shine extra bright this holiday season.

American Thanksgiving is nearly upon us which means only one thing to Canadians - it's officially okay to start decorating. Time to turn on the lights, put up the tree and start getting in the spirit. If you're not all into ugly Christmas sweaters and reindeer antlers but still like to look festive, we've got a perfect list for you. A little red here or a pop of plaid there goes a very long way to making you look merry and bright. See our round-up of fashion finds to help you look subtly festive all season long...

Walking through the mall this month is like a really great binge-watch of Netflix. There's drama (MO-OM, you are SO embarassing!), there's intrigue (will she like it? will she loathe it?), and of course, that edge-of-your-seat, nail-biting terror (only 20 days left?!).
It goes without saying that the clock starts ticking more insistently than usual this time of year, leaving even the most organized among us in a panic. But is this all necessary? Can we just take a collective step back and put this in perspective? Can we try for a minute to remember what this is all about in the first place? Um, no. No we can't. Because unless you're a Saint or happen to reside in Whoville, presents are part of the big Christmas/Holiday/Chrismukkah package. Plus, it's fun to buy things for other people. As long as we're prepared.
I've found 50 stellar gifts to please the picky, to wow the un-wowable, each for under-$200 so you can keep on budget while you're at it. Scroll through the slideshow below for my top gift picks and dial your panic button down a notch. Remember, it's your presents...er..I mean presence that counts...
