Suede pumps are the bee's knees with dressy dresses and fancy pants, and though they're good year round, they really earn their keep this time of year. I've been looking for a pair of classic black suede pumps and now I'm trying not to look at these other splashes of suede too. The graphite pumps are almost identical to a pair of Prada suede pumps I was eyeing the other day ... Hmmm, instead of that one pair of Prada pumps, I could just buy these three pairs, and still have a few hundred dollars left over for coordinating accessories!

I'm giving the gift of eco-bling this year with this gorgeous pair of recycled glass earrings. They're handmade from recycled bottle glass, lightweight, and easy to wear. This pair is made from an amber colored beer bottle—yeah you heard me, a beer bottle! I know I'll be doing my part (buying beers all round) for the arts this Holiday season so that artist Kathleen Plate can create more beautiful jewelry. Each pair varies slightly in shape and color.

I will never cry over chopped onions again! This nifty pair of onion-fume fighting goggles will spare me the waterworks so that I won't have to spare the onions. I'll simply slip on these stylin' goggles (available in white and black too), slap on my mascara, and get to chopping some onions like the cold hearted onion eater I am. Sadly, they can't help with onion breath ...
