BussBuss loves a ladylike look and no one is dishing up more lovely-lady skirts these days like Anthropologie. With so many pretty ones on sale, it's hard to make a choice, but this three tiers skirt is tops. Marked down from $138 to $64.95, slide into it at anthropologie.com.

You know how much BussBuss lurves Fred Flare, we just can't get enough of those guys! And we can't help lurve them even more now that they're having their huge Winter Sale. Tons of cute goodies up to 90% off, and no, that is not a typo. We think it's a dandy time to stock up on Christmas goodies for next year, like cute holiday cards for only $2.95, sweet ornaments for a mere $.95 and this lil village of ornaments, 5 for just $3.95. Get 'em before they're gone at fredflare.com!

Aah, post-holiday sales. Part elation over the steals, part agitation that you paid twice as much just a few weeks ago. But what are you gonna do? Buy more of course! You have to right the wrongs, right? The GAP is dishing up a bunch of goodies, all up to 50% off. What's cute?

These cableknit gloves for starters. A bargain at just $9.99.

Plus this perfect cold-weather puffer mini hobo bag is a steal for just $16.99.

You'll wanna top it off with something just as smashing, like this brightly striped mohair hat, just $9.99!

Happy Bargain Hunting!

Christmas is just a hop, skip and a plump jump away (three days to be exact!) and there are those few people on your list who are making your holiday a true blue pain in the rump. So hard to shop for, so little time to shop for them. Money seems a bit impersonal, but you'd just like them to be able to pick out what they want. Solve your in-a-crunch woes by giving a gift certificate. Just be sure to personalize it by presenting it in a unique way or by giving that special someone a targeted gift certificate. Click here to read up on the coolest, most stylish gift certificates around and to check those hard-to-shop-for friends off of your list.

If you think personal attention, great service, and smart design have been lost to big business, you're in for a treat. Hotel Healdsburg in Healdsburg, California knocked the argyle socks right off of BussBuss. A serene, minimalist vibe, lacking all the pretentiousness you're apt to find at other chic hotels, plus deep 6-foot soaking tubs, a delicious complimentary breakfast each morning, and Frette sheets and robes, make us wanna pack up and move there stat.

The town itself is adorable and you're within easy driving distance to the Tuscany of North America: breathtaking Napa Valley. BussBuss loved the tour at Sterling Vineyards, which included an air tram ride, a wine tasting and, best of all, stunning views. We were so charmed we had to find out where we could find other great escapes like it, and luckily came up with Small Luxury Hotels of the World or slh.com, as well as designhotels.com. Hotel Healdsburg belongs to both and we can't wait to plan our next great escape. Check them out when you're plotting your next adventure. You'll be charmed, I'm sure.

Gotta gaggle of friends and not a gaggle of mula? Don't sweat it. Nab your BFsF these candy-colored enamel rings by Baked Beads. They'll be happy, you'll be happy, it'll be a regular old love fest for the holidays. Scoop up a handful for just $10-$12 each at maidenamericastyle.com.

It's sniffle season and until I can invent Snot-Be-Gone ™, I'm gonna have to keep on using old-fashioned tissues. But call me a tissue snob, I just hate those flower-covered, granny-looking tissue-box covers and a naked box is just so garish (the horror!). Fortunately, my obsessive compulsiveness has led me to a simple and stylish solution, or at least as stylish as a tissue holder can be. This stainless steel tissue ring, whose weight and size are carefully balanced to let you pull just one tissue through at a time, while the ring remains firmly planted on the stack, is just what my tissues are craving. If yours are screaming for a more mod home too, give it to them for $18 at momastore.org.

I don't know about you, but I want to add some color and funk to the ole Christmas tree this year. And since I'm not up for plunking down $1200 on the vintage pink metallic tree I saw in Martha Stewart Living magazine, I'll deck my Charlie Brown tree in vivid, sparkly ornaments instead. Dishing up fab ones this year is cb2.com. I love the pink and green glitter balls, the pink, yellow and orange droplet ornaments, the silver disco party ball ornaments and the round mirror ornaments. Scoop up some sparkle for just $.95 to $2.95 each at cb2.com.

Pieces that multitask are a must, especially this harried holiday season. And if this golden cami doesn't look great under a blazer for work, paired with jeans for a night out and with an A-line skirt or flowy pants for a holiday party, then my name isn't BussBuss. Scoop up some glittering practicality for $39 at xoxo.com.

When you live in the city, there's something you start to miss, besides space. It's grilling. Even if you have a balcony or rooftop, you're usually not supposed to grill on it. So what's a grilled grub-lovin' girl to do? Grill indoors of course. And no, not with gas! The electric Cuisinart Griddler not only lets you grill steaks, chicken, pineapple and veggies to delicious perfection, but also lets you griddle pancakes and french toast AND make mouth-watering paninis in no time flat. And the cool, compact retro-looking design ain't bad either. Ask Santa for one, for $129.99, at chefscatalog.com.

The joy of doing these shopping events like we did on Saturday is not only that we get to show off our new designs to the public, but that we get to see what other designers and tastemakers are up to as well. One we couldn't get enough of, literally, was Chef Hilly's Kitchen. Dishing up a deelish chocolate powder blend that can be used to make hot chocolate, chocolate martinis, dip for strawberries and, well you get the drift, Hotlanta-based Hilly is the kind of guy you'll see on Oprah someday serving up his chocolate concoctions. And his story's as sweet as his creations: When his mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, he decided to launch his company (based on his mom's famous chocolate powder) and help out by donating 10% of his proceeds to the Joy to Life Foundation. Sweeeeet. What to get? Hilly's Jar, which is filled to the brim with the yummy chocolate powder ($25), and the Chocolate Crème Brulee Kit, which comes with the mix, four ramekins and a culinary torch for caramelizing ($50). Scoop 'em both up at chefhillyskitchen.com.

Frequent fliers will either love or hate these new belts. Fashioned out of airline seatbelt buckles, Skybelts come in a rainbow of colors and work for guys or girls. We're partial to the Hollywood Pink and Broadway Blue. Scoop one up for $28.95 at skybelts.com.

Even though I haven't cooked anything for months, okay years, my current obsession is domestic goddess Nigella Lawson and her line of kitchenware. Much like herself, her designs manage to be modern yet warm at the same time, and I'm a sucker for that. So what do I fancy? Everything! Particularly the bulging egg-shaped ice cream bowls ($34.99) and mixing bowls ($69.99), as well as the clever serving hands ($21.99) -- great for dipping salad or pasta. They might even be good for a back rub…who knows. Scoop up a bit of goddess-like domesticity at armsteadsporch.com.

You're running late for Happy Hour and your keys are nowhere to be found. Why, gawd, why?! You've got people to see, drinks to down and embarrassing memories to make. What's a girl to do? Solve the key crisis by always having the perfect place to put them, like in this wall-mounted key holder by British designers (and brothers) j-me. Get a His or Hers for $28 each at j-me.co.uk. Cheerio!
