First of all, today is Mother's Day- have you called yours? We'll wait.

Okay, that was a close one. Now back to the matter at hand, the Mother's Day commemorative t-shirt. The good news is that the Internet is full of options for Mom, the bad news is that they are mostly crap. Actually, that's about the way it is for most things on the Internet. It's not personal, Mom. Here are some of the better prints:

Hola, nuestros amigos, hoy es mayo quinto. ¿Por qué no celebrar por el estilo?

That's right, we just dropped Spanish on your ass. We're pretty sure we said, "Hello, our friends, today is May 5th. Why not celebrate in style?" However, we could have been telling you about the pencil we had for lunch. It's a tricky language.

Could you go makeup free for one day? I sure couldn't or at least I wouldn't. Today is National No Makeup Day. I know, what genius made that holiday up? The organizers of National No Makeup Day created this silly holiday because they say women are too dependent on makeup. Um duh, yeah we are!

I am starting to think that giving up a nasty crack habit would be easier than giving up makeup for an entire day (at least in public). But really, I am being a bit dramatic. I do leave the house without makeup to do things like move my car from one side of the street to another and to go to the gym -- but that's about it.

Over the years I have learned to use makeup do wonderful things for my face, things that everyday onlookers think happen to my face all on it's own. Like my blemish-free dewy skin, my longer than life eyelashes, my just got finished having sex flushed cheeks -- those things aren't natural people it's the makeup.

When normal people see me without makeup I get remarks like "Are you mad at me?" or "Late night" and the always popular "You look tired." I don't know if I could handle going a full day without, I might just lose my mind. Tell me could you all go a day, a full 24 hours?

I don't know how many times I've spent Easter morning dressed like some banker in a short-sleeved business shirt and a clip-on tie, looking for eggs and hoping that the Peeps didn't have E.coli (they don't). Of course that was when I was a kid (early 20's).

Nowadays I'm more likely to be sitting on the couch in my boxers and asking the kids to hunt Daddy another beer that the bunny hid in the icebox. Oh, family traditions.

No more. Thanks to the good folks at Snorg Tees I will once again be dressed on Easter Sunday, but this time with style.

The My Butt Hurts (16.95) (ladies) t-shirt brings forth a very delicate matter often overshadowed during the Easter season, "the perils of life as a chocolate bunny" (from website). What strikes me as, well, striking, is that the perils of the candy bunny seem disturbingly similar to those suffered by the Playboy Bunny, except for the ears part. Freaky, isn't it?

If Easter isn't your thing, or if you're just greedy, here are some other fine shirts from Snorg Tees:

If you're not dating anyone, Valentines Day can be a lonely affair. You're probably siting alone in your room right now, cursing all your stupid happy friends who are out on their stupid, happy, lovey-dovey, stupid happiness dates. Because no one should be happy on stupid Valentines Day. No one!

Then you cry into your pillow. Don't worry, we've all been there.

But don't feel down. Instead, browse through our list of the Top 6 Most Dateable Celebrities. We've found the most promising candidates that you'd actually have a shot with -- if money, status, and physical proximity weren't part of the equation. Go on, take a look. It has to be better than scouring Facebook for lonely singles, calling ex girlfriends, or however else you were planning on spending your night alone.

Let's say you haven't been dating for very long, and you don't want to come off like a commitment-obsessed psycho by going all out on a super-formal Valentines Day date. So you're keeping it casual. Sounds easy, right?

Sort of. While, chances are, you dress down for most nights grabbing dinner, catching a movie, or just vegging out on the couch, this is still a special occasion -- even if you're both pretending it's not. Make sure your date knows you care by dressing it up a notch. Don't go nuts -- showing up in black tie attire (or a formal gown, or whatever) is likely to make your relatively unfamiliar partner feel really uncomfortable.

Ladies:

• A little extra attention on the accessories goes a long way. Try a nicer necklace, or even some glitzy earrings.
• Remember, you're going for a look that's slightly spruced up compared to how you normally dress. So if your everyday style is a ratty t-shirt and sweatpants (God forbid), a pair of jeans and halfway decent top will do the trick.

Guys:

• Unless you're particularly fashion-forward, look for little ways to show you thought about your appearance before the big (albeit casual) date. No hats, no holes, no beer logos.
• Shoes are the key -- they can be the difference between slob and sloppy chic. Try a stylish slip-on -- it's inexpensive, effective, and laid back enough for jeans and an untucked shirt.

So give it a shot. With a small amount of forethought, you can help make sure this isn't the last Valentines Day the two of you spend together.

Not that I'd ever ask anyone to curb the crazy, drunken, "I can't believe I slept with that guy" antics that are sure to ensue this New Year's Eve, but let's remember ladies: nobody thinks you look good when you're passed out with alcohol poisoning.

I know, you ate more Christmas cookies than you should have, and I know, you were hoping to look good in the hot new dress you picked up for going out tonight, but seriously -- eat something. Otherwise you might end up like the woman profiled on Jezebel yesterday, who, after a night out, was found hunched over in the front seat of her car -- practically comatose with a blood alcohol level of .55.

So remember: give the diet a rest tonight, and get loaded with a clean conscience. Happy New Year!

There's a new year around the corner, folks, and that means it's time for new New Year's resolutions! What will you do in 2008? Finally get around to painting that extra room? Finish level three Italian? Find a better plastic surgeon? Well, I can't help you with those, but I certainly can give a few pointers on some of the more common resolutions that people make. If one must create a new and improved self, why not do it in style? So, you want to...

Be more organized: Sometimes the best way to organize is with good, old-fashioned pen and paper. Unfortunately, "paper" doesn't always mean "post-its", which tend to become part of the clutter it originally set out to sort out. One very stylish and sophisticated item that has done wonders for people all over the world is the Moleskine notebook. Moleskines come in a variety of sizes and types, from small to big to sketchbooks to address books. They're black and compact and, best of all, always lie completely flat when you open them up. No annoying curve in the middle! Also, there's a little pocket on the inside back cover for any loose notes. Sometimes having a pretty notebook is just enough of a motivation to get organized. Common Moleskine users are generally the artsy hipster types and are easily identifiable by their constant ravings about how much they love their notebooks.

It's Christmas time, doggie style. Let's face it. Dogs are cool, way cool. Dog owners and pet lovers treat dogs with the same respect that humans get on the holidays, which means receiving gifts and lots of them. This holiday season dogs have it made because the selection of cool pet gifts is out of this world.

Style me pretty: Forget the standard flee bath, there are a lot more beautiful options available for dogs these days. For a luxurious coat bathe your pooch in Keihls pet wash and for nails that shine, paint them the perfect shade of pink with a bottle of Juicy Couture dog nail polish. Now that your pet is picture perfect turn them into a work of art with a custom Warhol inspired painting.

Eat, sleep, and play: Ah the life of a dog! Don't just gift them with the average squeak toy from the supermarket, give them something more fun to chew on like a leopard print bra or a "Chuicy Couture" bag. Don't even think about handing your posh pet a milk bone; doggie candy canes and cookies are a much better choice. Once your dog slips into it's food coma lay them down on something soft and bright like this "Fat Boy" dog bed.

Baby, it's cold outside.

You know what that means? Cold weather accessories.

We're sure all of you have a basket in the back of the closet packed full of mismatched gloves, scarves and hats. Those things technically keeps you warm but it isn't very stylish is it? Gift yourself or someone else with these stylish accessories.
Cold hands, warm heart: If your fingers can bear it go with a pair of fingerless gloves by Alexander McQueen, the cable knit material is warm and oh-so-chic. If you can't stand the thought of exposing your fingers in chilly temperatures go with these knit gloves by Y-3 (hint, hint they are on sale).

Neck and neck: Scarves of all kinds are in style this winter. Cashmere stripes for a fun and luxurious look, gray rabbit fur for a richer look, bring out your inner ski bunny with Juicy Couture or dare to be different with a cowl neck scarf.

Hothead: What is warmer than fur in the winter? Nothing if you ask me. Protect your ears with hot pink fox fur earmuffs by Chantelle or go full on fur with this lambskin hat by Karl Donoghue.

Boots made for walking: Winter boots don't have to be bulky and ugly, they can be chic instead. For a sportier look go with Juicy Couture. If true couture is your game, then opt for this pair by Dior.

In case you haven't figured out from the gift lists that have been popping up all over the web, the massive sales, and the red, green and white decor spilling itself all over everything, it's the Holidays.

We're getting into the spirit, too, here at Styledash. We're making lists, checking them twice, and putting it altogether into something nice. It's Styledash's Haute Holidays Guide with Gift Guides, Holiday Party Fashion, and Holiday Hair and Beauty. You've already seen some of the Gift Guides, but you ain't seen nothing yet. We have everything from the standard "What do I get for a guy?" to "What should I get for my fantasy BFF, Britney Spears?" all from a very stylish perspective. And if the season is more of a Hell-iday for you and you plan to escape to either sand or snow, well, we've got vacation style planned, too.

Check back often for new gift lists and posts, or find everything in one place on the Haute Holidays Guide.

International Worker's Day -- May 1 -- celebrates the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement by commemorating the executions after the Haymarket Riot of 1886 in Chicago, which started on May 1 and ended on May 4.

But here in the United States, May Day is technically officially observed as Loyalty Day (say what???). While still called May Day, Loyalty Day is apparently celebrated with parades and an official proclamation from the President requesting the following:

• (1) calling on United States Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on Loyalty Day; and
• (2) inviting the people of the United States to observe Loyalty Day with appropriate ceremonies in schools and other suitable places.

So, there you have it -- no Maypoles, no May baskets and definitely no day off.

But If this hasn't discouraged you too much, I bet you could get away with a long lunch break.

For the past few weeks, we've heard a lot about New Year's Resolutions. If you can stand the thought of one more paean to the Babylonian tradition of resolutions, I wanted to share a few of Courtney Love's personal style resolutions.

* Try this "thin" anthropoligical [sic] experiment -- get to my goal weight healthily [sic] and stay there
* No more surgery for any reason other than medical until i really need it in my 60s

Like all things Courtney Love, you can either complain about her or accept her for the hot mess that she is. If you can do the latter, these resolutions seem almost sincere and thoughtful. I mean, if I were a drug addict rocker and mother, I would probably have said the very same thing, especially the part about the resolution to engage in no more plastic surgery.

Any chance you could convince Jack Nicholson and Bob Dole to follow suit? Those guys are starting to creep me out.

Today is the last day you can order a gift online and still have the pressie in your little procrastinating hands before Christmas day. If you're thinking that you might want to get your man a cool winter hat or snag your lady a purse hanger, you better snap to it, my friends, because the window of opportunity closes at 3pm EST today.

Best get shopping, people...

Many men like to give lingerie as gifts, but unfortunately most of them have still not figured out how to buy the special underthings. According to British retailer Marks & Spencer, on average only one out of three lingerie recipients is happy with her partner's selection.

The disparity between good intentions and good gifts can be explained two ways. The first is that sometimes men have unrealistic expectations. Before you buy, ask yourself, would your lady really want to wear a lace-up leopard print bustier? Probably not. The second hurdle is that many men are too shy to ask for help from salespeople, who are, by and large, female.

To "help a brother out" so to speak, M&S has hired 200 temporary lingerie department consultants. Unlike the friendly-faced bra lady you're used to seeing in the unmentionables department, these consultants are men. The so-called "stocking fellas" are prepared to step in at any moment to offer nervous male shoppers a word of comfort or a bit of advice.

Overall, I think this is a great way to make the shopping experience less traumatic for 49 percent of the population. But I also wonder what it is like to be a "stocking fella."

How would you feel about hanging out all day in the lingerie department?
