You've got your New Year's Eve dress all picked out. You've even snagged the perfect clutch, heels and earrings. But still, there's something missing. Could it be your lifeless feet? Indeed. Dress up those lil piggies with some festive nail polish and one of these darling toe rings. Whether you opt for the martini glass, the kitty, or the chihuahua, you're sure to score kitsch points, and tons of attention, when the hand strikes twelve. To tickle your toes with fashionable favors, head to purpleskirt.com, where each ring is only $12. Happy New Year!

December 19, 2003 : The Weekend Buss: Last Chance Gifts!
|
All right. Now this is getting ridiculous. It's barely a wink away from the big day and you've nearly gotten yourself into a jam again. Big surprise, PROcrastinator. If you can't or just don't want to face the crowds, you can still order online on some sites, but you're gonna have to pay extra for the shipping. Worth it to some to avoid the wrath of the Salvation Army Santas. If you need ideas, I implore you to consult our fabulous Holiday Gift Guide. This is officially your last reminder. Happy Holidays and, more importantly, good luck! You're gonna need it.

December 15, 2003 : Green With Envy
|
Getting into the Christmas spirit doesn't have to mean cheesy appliqué sweaters covered in red and green. You can still maintain your style standards without being a grinch. Like with this fabulous square green ring from Banana Republic. So striking and so affordable. Now that's what the holidays were meant to be. Give yourself the green light -- it's just $38 at bananarepublic.com.

December 12, 2003 : Muggin' Down
|
Nothing will make you want to drink more tea and java than this adorably stylish set of mugs. The six cups fit together to form a Mug Pie, which resembles a large, pretty orange flower more than a pie. Makes a great design statement when not being used to satiate your thirst for hot liquids, and sure does beat the set you served your imaginary friends with when you were six. To stock up for your next tea party, head to superfabulous.com where you can score an Elseware Mug Pie of your own for $45.

December 05, 2003 : The Weekend Buss: Patricia Field
|
I'm a big fan of funkifying and tarting up your wardrobe whenever possible. That becomes all too easy to do when you shop Patricia Field's site. The costume designer for Sex and the City offers lots of funky wares like neon orange and pink pumps, totally '80s plaid skirts and this great Social Climber tee (which reads, "Members Only" on the back). Prices range from a couple bucks to a couple hundred bucks. And for the SATC addict in your life, consider giving the Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell book. It's a behind-the-scenes guide to NYC and that famous foursome we've grown to love, including a detailed map of the bistros and boutiques where the fab four sip, shop and seduce. To have a peek for yourself, visit patriciafield.com.

Lucky for you, you're clever enough to remember pearlriver.com, or at least smart enough to subscribe to The DailyBuss, where we're clever enough to remember it. You're welcome.

December 02, 2003 : Fondue for Two: $14
|
You've been invited to a slew of holiday parties, because you're just sooo popular. Poor you. But you are posed with the whole hostess gift dilemma. Sure, you could opt for wine, like everyone else on the planet, or you could give something that's a smidge more fun. Like this Chocolate Fondue for Two gift bag. It comes with yummy Belgian chocolate and two fondue forks, all wrapped in a precious lil package. But buyer beware: If word starts spreading about what great gifts you give, you'll soon be invited to every party in town. Tough life, I know. To get this sweet gift for just $14, head to Chicago's heartbeatstore.com.

December 01, 2003 : P.U.P.py Love: $29
|
You know you've thought about it. Getting yourself or a loved one a pet. Who could not fall in love with a cuddly, snuggly, furry lil animal? So sweet and innocent and adorable… But then there's the potty training…and the feeding it…and the washing it…and the vet bills, not to mention the shedding. And what to do when you wanna go on vacation… And how sad it would be when…sniff, sniff…lil Fido goes off to puppy heaven. But wait, what about a P.U.P. -- yes, that's right, a Personal Urban Pet. He walks, he talks, he even does back flips! And he'll never die on you (well, at least you can replace his two AA batteries when he does)! Plus, he doesn't bite and he only costs $29. Treat yourself to your own lil P.U.P. at the always fashionable and practical mousseshop.com.
