Whether you’re treading through the giddy, “Teenage Love Affair”-worthy territory of a new crush or you’re basking in the commitment-ready, forever-and-ever, “At Last” stage of your relationship, you know to cherish every heart-swelling moment in the journey known as love.
In our latest holiday gift guide round-up, we're celebrating the London-rocker-meets-California-easy style of Katie White, the lead singer and guitarist of the pop/dance duo The Ting Tings.

Usually, how-to books brimming with DIY home décor ideas make me wince — especially after surviving a few furniture painting debacles back in 2001 (the result of some botched Martha Stewart-inspired projects).
I’ll keep it brief, gals: during the past two weeks, we’ve been showing you the hottest in eco-friendly apparel, footwear, skincare, cosmetics, home fragrance, jewelry and much more.
Now don’t get me wrong: I’m as excited about the iPad (and about the power of digital media) as the next cyber junkie (I mean, I’m penning a blog, so that says it all!).
