Pajamas just give and give and yet they get no respect. Wear them out of the house and people call you “weird.” Wear them to a party and someone erroneously threatens to have you “committed.” It’s BS and we’re sick of it. Not only are pajamas far and away the most comfortable type of clothing, they can also be rather cute. So, in homage to the most underrated clothing items in the world (that we’d personally like to be wearing all the time come to think of it), a pajama slideshow.

Notice that this nightie looks more or less like a dress. Throw a sweater on over that for a trip to the store and cut anyone who questions you. [$58, Anne Pinkerton, Anthropologie]

The holiday season is upon us. Which means the stores are stocked with those oh-so-convenient gift boxes—the easy cop-out when you can’t put something better together yourself. Beauty gift boxes can be great ... but they can also send the wrong message. Make sure you don’t fall into these holiday traps.

Christmastime tends to bring a bevy of traditional scents, which are delicious in cakes, cookies, and alcoholic beverages. No one wants to bathe in eggnog. [$16, Philosophy, Sephora.com]

Instead, try something that embodies the sweet spirit and works well at the same time, like Fresh’s wonderful sugar scrub products. [$75, Fresh, Barneys.com]

With 2010 fast approaching, we’ve resolved to spruce up the ol’ pad, and what better way to do that than add a little “wow” to our walls? Click through for calendars that double as wall candy.

This retro New York calendar, clad with vintage pictures from the Cavallini archives, will add an eclectic touch of old New York glamour to your place no matter what city you live in. [$21.95, Anthropologie]

The holidays are upon us. And they’re not just great because Thanksgiving is little more than an excuse to stuff your face in the company of people you like and Christmas and Hanukkah mean gifts, but also because the parties leading up to them require pretty dresses. No other type of clothing is as fun as a party dress; we are full-on thrilled to start shopping for them.

This one is a lovely little thing that stops just short of being too cutesy. [$25, Forever21]

My eyesight’s too good for me to need glasses, but I’ve often toyed with wearing a pair because they’re such a smart-looking accessory. I don’t want to feel like a fraud in prescription-less frames (and no offense to those who need them), but that doesn’t mean I can’t wear another type of eye-correction equipment. Since, for the most part, the only ones still using monocles for their intended purpose are cartoonish characters like Mr. Peanut, I won’t feel like a poser stringing one around my neck. And, if my eyesight does disintegrate, I guess I’ll be prepared.
