Holiday Gift Ideas: For Him
If you're looking to go big this holiday season, gifts for the guy in your life don't get better than these.
Try an old-school-upgraded record player (it records LPs onto CDs, too) and an assortment of vintage (or new) vinyl, an extremely badass leather jacket (this is the same one that Gregory House wears on the show), a rugged watch (either classic or carabiner), or a wireless speaker system perfect for everything from camping to conference calls.
Ion Turntable with Direct CD Recording ($299.99)
Vanson House Jacket ($575)
Alright, You Need To Know This
There is SO MUCH amazing Kate Spade stuff at HomeGoods right now, and I just needed to tell you about it. It's also completely maddening, because I own a lot of Kate Spade pieces (I'm particularly a fan of that multicolored pattern pictured above, which is called Gwinnett Lane), and I paid considerably more for them than I needed to, apparently.
That pitcher? Is twenty-nine dollars. And there are lots more beautifully packaged things that make great Secret Santa-type presents (like little cocktail plates, cream-and-sugar sets, silver placecard holders, etc).
Run run run.
Just Exactly What I Wanted
It turned out that I could not have cared less what I wore during my post-birth hospital stay, busy as I was being alternately over-the-moon elated and psychotically exhausted.
Non-Stuffy Interview Clothes
What to wear to a job interview at a "hip/indie" office.
Just Before The Turn
One day you're in pretty dresses, cozy jackets, and knee-high boots, playing with the idea of winter rather than actually living it...and then the next day everything goes to hell.
Oh, Hello There, Happy Baby
The first two weeks, I was all, "Oh my goodness, our baby? Is perfect. He never cries. I have given birth to the only baby in the world that does not cry. I am magic."
As it turns out...babies don't really cry for the first two weeks. That third week? They cry. Like the weight of the world is resting firmly on their 21-day-old shoulders.
So while I still think he's perfect...said perfection includes quite a bit of noise.
The things that have been working for me: pacing endlessly back and forth from the side of the apartment with the screaming children sounds (we live next to a school) to the side of the apartment with the ear-splitting construction sounds (we also live next to a future 2nd Avenue Subway stop), toting him around in a carrier like a little papoose while vacuuming, singing old Eagles songs (finally! someone enthusiastic about listening to my singing voice)...and an iPhone app sent straight from the gods.

New Mama Makeover at John Sahag Workshop
You know how life changes (breakups, graduations, moves, etc) always make you want to cut all your hair off, or dye it red? For me, it's always bangs.
