Links à la Mode (December 5th): Glamourous Giving

Glamourous Giving

This year feels especially glamourous, not sure why, it's just a feeling. And believe me, it's strange because my personal life is considerably less glamourous on paper, so what's up with that? Is it the glitter? The sparking lights? The beautiful holiday style? Well, if you take a look at this week's roundup, we have all kinds of resources for glamming it up this holiday season. From getting a man's advice on gift giving, to looking sizzling hot at the holiday party. We've even got a close look at a real princess. I feel glamourous already!
