We think it’s weird enough when people save their teeth. It’s even weirder when the dentist or orthodontist thinks it’s cute to give us a mold of our teeth. Tooth jewelery? Skeeevy. You don’t have to take our word for it, take a peek for yourself.

Something cuter than teeth? Eighties inspired lip glosses that look like cassette tapes from Victoria’s Secret. Seventeen is already getting excited for prom, and found these lip glosses which will help you complete a Molly Ringwald look even if you aren’t a high school senior.

Something else to throw on for kicks? These Booty Poppin Panties. Kidding. We think they’re ridiculous, but check out the video that Clutch posted. Hilarious.

Glamour has selected trends that they think will take off this year. Booty Poppin Panties not included.

Lastly, The Frisky has selected desk accessories that will help you power through the day including a coffee cup warmer and a mini pool table. Just stay away from those tooth necklaces, and this first day back should be juuuuust fine.

Maybe It’s Much Too Early In The Game, But I Thought I’d Ask You Just The Same

With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, it’s time to crank up the sparkle quotient. Rachel Zoe thinks so too, she’s suggesting false eyelashes to help you out. As always, Rachel has a Parallel Universe suggestion that won’t break the bank. This one is from Sephora.

We mentioned before that we J’Adore Dior and this lip glow might be just the sparkle you want to outshine that Waterford Crystal thing that helps bring in the new year.

After all your New Year’s Eve partying, Paula Deen’s Percolator might be just what you need.

To keep you entertained at the office until quitting time on the 30th, I Heart Daily has roundups of the best beauty posts of the past year as well as the top entertainment posts. Whitney Port of The City and The Hills also recently posted 14 different looks for her 14 Days of Fashion. Even though she’s model gorgeous there’s still something endearing about her. Glamour has a list of Top 10 Most Memorable Red Carpet Moments of 2009. Enjoy!

Sparkle and Shine

One of our favorites from Ann Taylor

Just in case you were getting a little bored with the selection at Target, which is difficult because their boots and fedoras are amongst our faves – they’re rolling out a new collection. Nylon spills the beans about the new Rodarte collection – a favorite of Keira Knightley, Dita von Teese, & other celebs.

Marie Claire has tips on how to make makeup last all day, while Glamour is on the lookout for sequined clothing that won’t break the bank. We’re fans, since sometimes sparkle can cost a pretty penny.

Ann Taylor & Ann Taylor LOFT have some great jewelry out for the holidays. We’re smitten with their selection. Diamonds may be a girls best friend, but sometimes all it takes is some sparkle to catch our eyes.

There are so many holiday gift suggestion lists out there including I Heart Daily’s Gifts $20 and under, Glamour has over 177 gift suggestions, and Marie Claire has 100+ ideas both lists have TONS of pictures – our favorite for – ahem – quiet mental breaks at work. HBO is selling their DVD’s for 20% off for the rest of the day.

While trinkets are nice, we’ve also been on then lookout for gifts that give back.

In addition to suggested holiday gift lists, I Heart Daily also suggests that you give gifts that mean something deeper, including donations to Heifer International which I Heart Daily explains ‘is dedicated to ending global hunger and poverty through the gift of animals to communities in need. Buy a flock of chicks for $20 that will produce eggs, or honeybees for $30 that will cultivate honey.’ We’re willing to bet that a cause like that would even make the Grinch’s heart grow a little bit bigger.

Another charity, MyCharity: Water is dedicated to bringing safe drinking water to everyone on the planet. You can ask for donations in lieu of Christmas gifts, or you can run, bike or donate to bring safe drinking water to people from around the world.

Another great charity is She’s The First, a media campaign that strives to send girls to school that wouldn’t have the chance to go to school otherwise. Your donation can help send a girl from a number of countries in Africa and Asia to school.

You can also help those in your backyard by giving to Agatston Urban Nutrition Initiative (AUNI) which helps promote access to healthy food in Philadelphia as well as provide education on exercise and obesity. Philabundance is another great charity that aims to end hunger and malnutrition in the Delaware valley.

Winter Wonderland

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was last night and Philly.com has pictures. You can also watch the show in it’s entirety on CBS.com.

Apparently Dockers pants are trying to make Khakis cool again, so be on the lookout for those ads during this holiday season.

Also something to lookout for this holiday season: Glamour has a list of 20 party dresses under $100. The Today Show’s Sara Haines visited Glamour’s offices to get ideas on practical gifts. Sara is on during the Today Show’s fourth hour, but it’s the online videos where you really get to see her shine. She’s hilarious. Also on this video, each yellow circle on the time-line highlights a different product and the running commentary is pretty funny. Nice.

Also from the Today Show are these styles inspired by MTV’s The City. Even if you aren’t a fan of the show, Elle Magazine’s Erin Kaplan and Whitney Port picked some cute outfits.

Facials sound like a luxe, indulgent experience, but sometimes when you’re getting your pores cleared out it HURTS. This Rice Facial at Moko that Daily Candy found sounds like a nice alternative. Ingredients used in a facial from Moko include basmati rice, ghee (clarified butter), milk, cardamom and cinnamon. Mmm. Sounds like you should stop here for dessert after Thanksgiving weekend. Also featured in Daily Candy is Jimmie the Psychic, who sounds like a good stop this weekend as well  — aside from all the Black Friday sales obviously.

While Black Friday has offers on big things like flat screen TV’s and laptops, Marie Claire and Glamour have lists of little things that will make those on your shopping list happy.

Marie Claire also has tips on how to get hair like our girl crush Blake Lively, as well the best beauty products of 2009. They just don’t have pictures of creative rings – but this blog seems to have it covered.

It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s a USB Port?

Somehow we’ve never come across this one before. 2leep.com – a website that features blogs from what seems like EVERYWHERE. If you look through the links, which are endless, you’ll find posts on creative USB Port Drivers, sneakers made out of paper, weird iPhone holders, creative candle designs. That’s just a limited sampling. The posts linked at this site are on every topic you could possibly think of.

Glamour.com let us know that Christian Sirianos designs are available at Payless – all for under $50! Nice. Glamour has also found boots for under $150 – they’re so good to us!

Lastly, Ellen is finally on the cover of O Magazine!  She campaigned for months and she’s finally on the cover. Check out the photo shoot here.
