Top of the morning to you, David!

While we’ll make any excuse to gawk at Mr. Posh Spice in his skivves, we have an especially good one this morning as his collection of bodywear is launching at H&M today.

Following in the Mrs.’ designer footsteps, the football player has concocted a collection of men’s basics for H&M, including boxers (from $14.95) and a t-shirt ($17.95).

His tank ($17.95) has quickly become a fave with the ladies, if only because “We’re wearing David Beckham’s tank top” is a phrase we just can’t get enough of.

They felt wild at first but our red, teal and purple jeans are starting to feel totally tame.

We’re stepping up our rainbow antics and slapping down our credit card for these pastel jeans by Second ($120). The aqua hue undeniably pretty, the mid-rise, skinny cut is super flattering and they are comfy cozy.

Because sandals in the snow are a definite no-no, we’re sneaking in some new season style with these must-have jeans.  —Christine Laroche

Montreal’s gorgeous new beauty destination serves up serious skincare and some oh-so-pretty pick me ups.

Etiket specializes in luxury-meets-science facials, cosmeceuticals and intelligent skincare. After all, Dr. Yves Hébert, whose clinic is located directly above Etiket, is a consultant on the project. Think derm-approved brands like SkinCeuticals, Alyria, Dermalogica, Sara Happs and more, plus a talented team that knows exactly which will work wonders on our skin.

We’re also smitten with the expertly edited selection of hard-to-find yet oh-so-fabulous brands including Penhaligon’s (a Kate Moss fave), Tocca, Lucia and Jane Iredale makeup.

With the winter wreaking havoc on our complexions, we’re booking some time with the Etiket pros, stat!  —Christine Laroche

We're breaking up with our Ray Bans.

Dear Ray Ban sunnies,

The past few years have been great. We loved playing spot-the-Wayfarer-wearing hipster at Osheaga (and losing count within the first five minutes). We’ve shared some good times, but we just can’t shake that been there, done that feeling.

You see, we’ve found a new label to love: Raen. It’s based in California, has plenty of indie appeal and a lovely vintage-y look.

So yes, it’s true: We’re picking up the Breslin frame ($135) at Boutique Archive.

But don’t worry: It’s not you, it’s us. —Christine Laroche

We may not be in Rio to bring in the New Year, but there’s no reason we can’t celebrate like the Brazilians.

Their New Years celebrations involve dressing all in white, flocking to the beach after midnight, jumping seven waves, and throwing flowers into the sea. Ok, this might be tough for our Calgary readers, the Montreal and Toronto folk won’t want to be anywhere near a beach in this weather, and Vancouverites wait until New Years day to jump into the ocean (nope, you won’t be seeing this editor at the Polar Bear swim.) But there’s no reason why you can’t wear a white dress.

We love this Ann Demeul.Blanche dress from Luisa Via Roma. It is a bit pricey, but fits in great with the spring summer 2012 white dress trends, and this lovely drapy shape will get you through spring parties and summer weddings. Our tip: tanned skin (fake or real) looks great with a white dress. And then you can imagine you got some sun in Brazil. —Alexandra Suhner Isenberg

Jewellery is such a personal thing, so we like to shop for everyone we know at the same place.

Make sense? Only if you’ve visited La Raffinerie. The jewellery line created by Julia Vallelunga offers pieces for every taste, like these statement necklaces (starting at $80) for our boldest fashionista friends and dainty dangling earrings ($45) for the classic ladies in our life. You can also find pieces by La Raffinerie at Anthropologie.

Treat the ladies in your life to something pretty. —Jennifer Nachshen

At various locations and online at www.laraffinerie.ca

It’s always tricky buying gifts for family. So this year we’ll get them things we want, so if they don’t like them, we’ll just ask them to re-gift right back. Talk about strategy!

Mom
She loves to read and play Scrabble, so we’re getting her both in a box. Scrabble’s Book Lovers Edition ($29.95) awards points for use of any author name, book title, or literary character. At www.chapters.indigo.ca

Dad
He can’t get through the day without 12 cups of coffee, so we’re getting him the KRUPS KM9000 Coffee Dispenser ($249.99) which keeps 12 cups of coffee hot and fresh for four hours. We’ll just have to hope he goes decaf. At Boutik Electrik, 705 Ste Catherine St. W., Montreal, 514-847-0303, www.boutikelectrik.com

Sister
She’s a fashionista with a flair for functional accessories, so we know she’ll adore this Wold and Feather print scarf by Balmain ($451). At www.ssense.com

Brother
He’s an adrenaline junkie but we’re more comfortable on the couch. Now he can bring us home some snaps from his latest adventure with the GoPro HD Hero Naked Waterproof High-Definition Sports & Helmet Camera ($249). So we can feel like we’ve been there without risking our lives. At Future Shop, www.futureshop.ca

Out-of-town Relative
Your snowbird aunt in Florida will love receiving one of these hand-painted syrup containers by Canadian artist, Marianne Chenard ($28 for small container) to feel like home. At Fai Ici, 2519 Notre Dame St. West, Montreal, 514-439-3888, www.faitici.ca  —Jenn Nachshen

Everyone’s going to be sporting an LBD at the holiday party, so why not go a step further with some sequins. Now you’ve got an LBSD: Little Black Sequined (or Sexy) Dress.

We love the MMK Sequin tunic ($195), as well as Banana Republic’s strapless Sequin Sheath ($185). Go a little Grrrrr with Faith Connexion’s tiger-striped mini with a racy cut-out back ($520) or switch it up and wear some Little Black Sequined Pants with these Siwy sequin cropped jeans ($219.21). If head-to-toe sequins feel like a little much, just wear a regular LBD topped with this IRO Cuzia Sequin Jacket ($790).

Let the sparkles fly! —Jennifer Nachshen

We adore a brightly-hued pant, but we’re pretty sure there’s more to life than just jeans. Enter the corduroy.

Our favourite Yoga Jeans by Second Denim now come in fine-wale corduroy in 3 classic cuts, boot, straight and skinny ($100) all made with 3% Lycra for Second’s patented comfy spring-back stretch. Choose from army green, royal blue, taupe and dark soapstone, and add a pair of ankle boots and a cropped sweater for a cute and comfy warm-winter look. Or wear the velvety black pair with a pair of pumps and a sparkly top for an evening look.

And if you feel like doing some yoga at the holiday party? You totally can. —Jennifer Nachshen

Ever wonder what items our editors can't live without? Today Jennifer Nachshen, our Montreal editor shares hers:

I’m far more fickle about my faves than Maria Von Trapp ever was. Here are the top five I’m falling for this season (we’ll see what happens in a month or two):

Rag & Bone Denim
I’m so in love with the brightly coloured and patterned denim from Rag & Bone that I’m anxiously awaiting a trip to NYC to buy a pair in every shade. Until then I can get my fix at TNT. TNT, 4100 Ste. Catherine St. West, Montreal, 514-9351588, www.rag-bone.com

Anemone Earrings
These Anemone earrings by Esty for Birks ($275) may look simple, but whenever I wear them people come in for a closer look to fully appreciate the ocean-inspired design. Birks, 1240 Phillips Square, Montreal, 514-397-2511, www.birks.com

NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Carthage
I wear NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Carthage so much that a fuchsia pout has become my signature style. $30 at The Bay, 585 Ste. Catherine St. W., Montreal, 514-281-4422, www.narscosmetics.ca

J. Crew Leopard Pumps
I never considered myself an animal print kind of girl until I tried on these leopard pumps on a recent visit to Toronto’s J. Crew ($424). Now I wear these with everything. Including my leopard print skirt. Rowr. At www.jcrew.com (until we get a J. Crew in Montreal!)

Dry Vodka Martini
My bevvy of choice these days is a dry vodka martini on the rocks, in a rocks glass with extra olives. “So, basically a glass of vodka with lots of olives?” one waiter asked. Fair enough. I have it made with Belvedere (RED), a Special Edition of the classic vodka, giving 50 per cent of profits to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa, so I’m saving the world, one cocktail at a time. —Jennifer Nachshen
