Fresh Start: Sassy Wallpaper

Your walls are like serving plates -- they act as a background for the rest of your home. So, if you're yearning for something a little sassy, try this. Wallpaper one statement wall in an irreverently kitsch-for your-kitchen pattern from Bradbury & Bradbury. SO fabulicious!

Fresh Start: Cook in Heels

And, whatever you do, don't forget to add some sizzle to your life at home! WEAR THESE Pucci espadrille wedges while packing the kids' lunches. Aren't these so HOT?

After the cold-weather haze of the holidays, it's time to emerge from our cocoons!

While you might not be heading to more tropical environs, you can still slick this fabulous tip from Vogue Australia for your next non-kiddie soiree: Gloss all exposed skin with non-sticky Clarins Spray After Sun Shimmer Oil.

{ Beware: Husbands may go crazy over this tip! }

From my family to yours, this is going to be the most L U X E year yet!
