There's no denying that 2012 was certainly a year filled with fabulous red carpet looks (take a look at our editors' picks here!), but for every major fashion moment, there was a tragic failure waiting right behind it in last season's Louboutins.

Offenders ran the gamut from young starlets like Kim Kardashian and Anne Hathaway to older vamps like Sharon Stone and pretty much everyone in between. In fact, some of our favorite style stars hit low notes this year in designer gowns, separates, and, in one specific case, a pair of silk pajamas.

The holiday season in NYC is all about one thing: shopping. From the moment the temperature dips below 60 degrees, your inbox (and mailbox, and wallet) are bombarded with Christmas "cheer" in the form of unbeatable deals (only to be beaten come December 26), special holiday editions, and approximately 70 versions of "Baby It's Cold Outside". But behind all the Hallmark goodness is, of course, a whole lot of cash. We got our hands on a list of all the top earners this season, surprises and underdogs not included.

Despite the fact that holiday sales this year hit lows comparable to the dark times of '08, there's still plenty of cash to be had for a select few. If you're thinking, "Oh, good! I'm so glad The Future Perfect is finally getting the mainstream recognition it deserves," think again. None of your favorite designers or most-beloved little boutiques will make this list of the top-dollar stores. Not that we're complaining - though we love our more

Let me be honest: I don't really care what you wear. But as long as we're thinking about New Year's resolutions and fresh starts, why not resolve to put yourself a wee bit higher than the bottom of your priority list? And when you leave the house in stained sweats, athletic shoes, and a baggy T-shirt, it doesn't look like you care very much. Because you deserve to feel beautiful. You deserve to feel stylish. You deserve to care. Not sure if you've committed an act of fashion crime? Click through for 7 fashion flubs to avoid in 2013! - By Michelle Horton

Kendall and Kylie JennerYes, the Kardashian/Jenner brood isn't exactly known for being low-key. Case in point, the way the family gifts during the holidays. Kendall and Kylie Jenner took to Instagram following their Christmas celebration to show off their luxury haul. Kylie, 15, Instagrammed photos of a Alexander McQueen Skull tapestry pillow, priced at $675, and a coveted Céline Luggage Mini, priced at $2,300, that she received.

Meanwhile Kendall Jenner, 17, was gifted a pair of Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100 spiked patent-leather pumps, priced at $1,195. Destiny Odom, 14, daughter of Lamar Odom and step-daughter of Khloe Kardashian received a Céline Nano Luggage Bag, priced at $1,950. All we can say is, it must be nice.

The question for you dear readers is simply, are you jealous?

The winter can be a dreary time of year. It gets dark at 4 p.m., and in most parts of the United States it's freezing cold. And regardless of the weather, the season is usually marked by gray, brown and black getups! For some reason, once this time of year rolls around, most people drain the bright hues of summer and spring from their wardrobe. That's why I'm attempting to make over this winter -- with a pop of color! A simple, stylish way to do this? By rocking floral prints, of course. Whether it's a little liberty print shirt, a floral blazer or a hair tie, the list of ways to wear flowers seems infinite. I've rounded up a handful of my favorite finds.
