Happy New Year!

Metallic T Ankle Strap Sandals, Stella McCartney, $795

It's been quite some time since we have seen chambray, especially in a wear-with-everything style like your basic boy meets girl oversized shirt.

This essential is a great way to gently ease yourself out of winter's flannel shirts -- while the shirt trend continues for 2010, you can't be dressed for a hunt in the woods or a possible grunge moment all through the spring, now can you?

Oversized Roll Sleeve Chambray Shirt, Vince, $185

Returned from our little holiday break and what do we find? Order after order after order for our saucy little Sauce tee.

It's a simple oversized tee shirt gathered here and there courtesy of large safety pins strung with beads. For those who DIY it's certainly an easy look to achieve... for those who want to sport the trendsetting label Sauce, well, here it is.

Draped Safety Pin Tee, Sauce, $65

In our office we call that rising panic when you don't know what to wear a "fashion emergency."

Should you be looking for a last minute little something, or should you need to suggest a gift for yourself to someone who's a little style-challenged, our eCards can do the job quite nicely.

Enjoy your gifts, enjoy your holidays, enjoy!

You need New Year's Eve covered, of course, but before you buy do be sure you are focusing on 2010 trends, not has been 2009.

We've identified three PM stories that will work well into the new year, so you get the most out of your investment. They are:

In Short... No longer short and sweet; we're talking short, sculpted and sexy;

Twinkle Twinkle... Beads, metallics, sequins and all kinds of shiny bits are must-have night and day embellishments throughout 2010;

Dark Night... For those who live in black, a mix of textures and patterns is the way add an updated twist to your essentials.

The weekend awaits and with it a flurry of holiday shopping. To shop is divine, of course, but when it comes to finding the perfect present things can get a little sticky. Here's a bit of Friday inspiration... our favorite gifts under $100. (PS -- Send a special someone to this list if you want to make sure you receive the perfect present!)

We do so love a gift with meaning, and certainly an ID bracelet qualifies as such.

But we've moved beyond high school, which means your ID bracelet needs to get more meaningful, quick.

That is why we love this ID bracelet as a fashion art form. It is composed of chunky downtown girl silver links and an ID plate glistening with every girl's favorite -- sparkling crystals. Well, crystals are a worthy second best to the real thing, but if the real thing isn't in your stocking this holiday, perhaps this bracelet will be instead.

Harlow ID Bracelet, Dannijo, $230

A bit of fashion frippery for a Friday afternoon... our favorite sparkly pieces from Tuleste, KJL, Shashi, Dannijo and Lee Angel. Every one of them is a party maker and a real fashion statement. Dazzle on.

DVF wins best in class with this ruffled confection in a grown-up tie-dye print. The mini dress is done in silk chiffon and ruched diagonally throughout the entire length to give a soft cascade of ruffles. If its hemline doesn’t raise eyebrows then its psychedelic color palette in orange, yellow, fuschia, and purple will do the trick.

Miranda Ruffle Mini Dress, $375

Helmed by the mother-daughter duo of Selina and Fee Craig, Lotus London takes its inspiration from the block printing, dyeing, and hand painting the pair saw while they lived in India. Here they do a billowy caftan trimmed at the edges with light blue pompom tassels.

Rissa Pompom Caftan, $218
