I love stocking stuffers. They are the best part of Christmas. There’s just nothing quite like an affordable gift that’s funny or useful or chic (or maybe all three). So here is Part One of my stocking stuffer gift guides, where nothing costs more than $30.
In the name of fiscal responsibility, I’m taking a shopping respite through the end of the year. When you write a fashion blog, not shopping is like being a person on a diet who moves into a McDonald’s. But I’m determined to flex some self-discipline now that my holiday shopping is done.

I got a super cute pair of sparkly slingbacks recently. They slap my feet with every step I take; it sounds awful. Any recommendations?
I have wide feet and thin strappy heels are super unflattering (though I actually think they’re unflattering on a lot of women who wear them, but that’s another story).
