Happy New Year of Style!

The New Year is very much upon us! 

My Christmas gift baskets' idea (see previous post) was a success. And I was able to find all of the materials to wrap my baskets at my local Dollar Tree! The only thing that I regret is that I FORGOT TO TAKE SNAPSHOTS!  In all of the last minute frenzy, I simply forgot. :(     

But I do want to mention two very practical items from the gift baskets that were big hits.

One was a personalized 2012 wall calendar from Vistaprint.com. 

I decided to make good use out of the many family photos that I had snapped over the years--just "collecting dust" on my cell phone and digital camera. I simply uploaded the selecte pictures to the website and "voila!"--I had one-of-kind treasures for my family, shipped right to my door! 

The other item that I want to share are AfterSoles!

Having tired, achy feet, after you have been in heels for a while is not cute! I've been there-- as I'm sure many of you have. AfterSoles are soft shoes that roll up and fit inside of your purse (even small ones) so that you can relieve your feet (and not have to walk around in your stockings!) But they also come with a pouch that you can use to take your heels home.  

How practical and stylish is that? They could come in handy for those upcoming New Year's Eve celebrations, right? I certainly thought so. They are also great for traveling.

Well, I wish everyone a Very Safe, Happy, Prosperous, and "Stylish" New Year!
