Winter weather can wreak havoc on your skin, so when Vaseline invited me to take their Winter Skin Challenge, I said bring it on! For the challenge, I'm testing out Vaseline® Intensive Rescue® Lotion - a powerful and therapeutic moisturizing lotion that not only feels good, but also has been proven to relieve dry skin after just one use and help heal dry skin in three days.

After one use of this silky smooth, fragrance-free lotion, I'm already a fan – but to truly put this product to the test, I'll be heading to my local ice skating rink where I'll subject myself to extreme cold, high winds - and hopefully some hot chocolate (preferably with marshmallows). Included in my winter challenge kit was a gorgeous camel Michael Kors scarf and matching gloves to keep me cozy in style. Stay tuned to see how it goes!

Also, check back for your chance to try Vaseline Intensive Rescue Lotion – I'll be giving away 5 amazing prize packages consisting of Vaseline Intensive Rescue Lotion and Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.

Don't all freak out at once but the Target x Neiman Marcus collection is now 50% off in stores and online at target.com. I'm getting the Tracy Reese plates ($19.99, down from $39.99) and possibly some other items. Merry Christmas to me! It was rumored that this collection wouldn't even go on sale, let again get marked down a whopping fifty percent, but it's happening and it's happening now. Thanks to my sister for tipping me off!

Madewell has teamed up with Brooklyn artist Rebeca Raney for a charming collection of items featuring her whimsical illustrations, from a silk tee ($125) to notecards ($6.50). "My work is a lot like frosting - it's sweet and it's really lovely," explains Rebeca in the video above, which gives fans a glimpse into her workshop and creative process. I love Rebeca's bright color palette and playful designs, it's refreshing to see (even if the tote is priced a bit steep at $225 - artists gotta live, too, right?) Head over to madewell.com to see the complete Rebeca Raney x Madewell capsule collection.

I'm actually really excited to share this latest episode of my show "Retail Bootcamp," part of the newly launched Style Coalition TV channel!

So in this video I headed to H&M in New York City's SoHo neighborhood to share my top five inexpensive ways to get glam for the holidays. All the fashions featured in the video, including my look, can be found for under $50 at H&M stores now. What festive touches do you add to your wardrobe this time of year?
