I’m seriously loving this, the Susan G. Komen The Hope Travel Collection The Inspiration Collection 3-Piece Expandable Set. Luggage- for me, at least- is always an investment, certainly not something I’d buy every day, and when I do buy luggage I expect it to last forever. And look good for almost as long. Not only is this set sturdy and well-made, it’s pink. And a portion of its sales are donated to The National Breast Cancer Foundation. On sale right now for $137.66 at Luggage Online »

Mr. Happy will always be my favorite, because- well, because he’s happy!

I was an accident-prone type of kid, which earned me the nickname Mr. Bump. This tee would have been perfect for me. Isn’t he adorable?

Finally, because we all know kids who don’t stop bouncing around.

Who is your favorite Mr. Men character?

This is the Dr. Rey Shapewear Hi-Waist Long Leg Shapewear Brief Panty Hose, and it’s my secret weapon when I’ve had too many doughnuts, and want to wear a dress without looking lumpy.

Trust me, lumpy is not good.

It’s $25, and is very comfortable and- perhaps most important- is pretty invisible beneath even the most form-fitting of dresses. Buy this panty hose »

You know what’s cuter, though? Baby girls. Which is why when your baby girl wears this Cupcake Pant set, it’s totally cuteness overload.

Carter’s 2-Piece Cute and Comfy Cupcake Pant Set – Pink and Brown (6-9 Months)

Sweetly styled for your little girl, this 2-Piece Pant Set from Carter’s is casual and comfy. The pink bodysuit features contrasting brown polka dots on the long sleeves, with adorable cupcake appliques and “Mommy’s little sweetie” embroidery at the center. Snaps on the left shoulder and along the leg openings allow easy dressing, and the coordinating brown pants are crafted with a full elastic waistband. Both items are constructed from soft, 100% cotton. Machine wash warm, tumble dry low.

If there’s one thing I can’t leave the house without, it’s lipstick. And it’s usually this lipstick, Clinique’s Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick in Berry Freeze. It’s part of the “Nudes” color group, and is described as “A mid tone warm red brown berry.”- a description that doesn’t even hint at how much this gorgeous, smooth and satiny lipstick can brighten up your face and make you more lovely.

I never thought the books were well-written, but I did find the story engaging. The movie, on the other hand, was done very well. And Robert Pattinson? Mmm.

Not surprising, then, to show you what I’ve just ordered: the two-disc special edition of Twilight- which means more Edward and Bella around here. And just look at what’s included:

Audio commentary by Catherine Hardwicke, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson (!)
Muse music video: “Super Massive Black Hole”
Paramore music video: “Decode”
Linkin Park music video: “Leave Out All the Rest”
Five extended scenes with director introductions
Five deleted scenes with director introductions
Seven-part documentary: “The Adventure Begins: The Journey from Page to Screen”
Comic-Con “fandom” piece
Comic-Con NY sizzle reel
Three trailers
Penelope trailer

The two-disc Twilight Special Edition DVD is $22.99 from Amazon »

P.S. While you’re at it, go ahead and order the Twilight Soundtrack- an awesome collection of tunes, and one of my favorite soundtracks ever.

With the world economy being what it is, however, I have to admit that I was a little wary of the new film based on the first book of the series. Would the subject matter be in poor taste, in these days when even Vogue is publishing lists of “gifts below $10″?

Turns out, I had nothing to worry about: the film – like the book- is fun, smartly done, and most importantly, entertaining. As I sat through the movie, watching the adorable Isla Fisher being adorable, I forgot about my own- er- shopaholicness. Some things were over the top, yes, but the book prepared me for that. I’m looking forward to the sequel(s) now.

Did you see Confessions of a Shopaholic? What did you think?
