Vacation

First of all, wherever Fab reader stylebysantina is, we would like to be, right now. Second, we love the way she mixes up tribal and utility trends for a chic and breezy vacation look that is laid-back but still feminine. Tying a safari shirt over a printed dress is a brilliant way to get more use out of a dress, and she elevates the shirt with a pretty necklace and gold cuff. We also applaud metallic flats: in a tropical paradise where flip flops are the norm, a little sparkle —and a real sole — is a nice touch.

Congrats to stylebysantina!

For the past three years, the Obamas have eschewed Chicago snow and opted for Hawaiian breezes. And really, who can blame them? As much as we all may dream of a white Christmas, isn't white sand a better alternative to white snow? In 2008, 2009, and now in 2010, the Obamas have spent their Christmas holiday at the upscale Paradise Point Estates on Kailua Bay. The five bedroom, five and a half bath home features high level security (of course) for its exclusive clients. A center courtyard includes a secluded lagoon-style pool pavilion with tropical waterfalls and an island spa. Nature lovers will enjoy the ocean lanai and garden lanai, which showcase ornate landscaping and stunning views. The home itself is a standout thanks to the etched windows, stained glass, natural stone tiling, and African mahogany carvings. Other amenities include a zoned alarm system, championship golf courses, a health club and spa, and concierge services. Take a complete tour when you read more

Ding, ding, ding! Vacation wins, yet again, for the biggest splurge of the year. However, it was a pretty close call between spending on travel and splurging on clothes and accessories. It's gratifying to hear that 28 percent of you chose to spend your hard-earned money by taking a well-deserved vacation. All of us need some time off to de-stress from work, and vacation is the perfect way to do it! Be sure to read up on these tips to make your vacation bliss last so you're really squeezing every benefit out of your trip.

The next big splurges after spending on style are gadgets, which are tied with home purchases. Seems like 11 percent of you are taking advantage of the poor housing market, and the same number of people are snapping up electronic goodies. Perhaps these geeky splurges are on new arrivals like the iPad, which officially hit stores in April this year.

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick are back in LA after their weekend getaway to Mexico, but here's a look at the beautiful scenery they enjoyed while in Puerto Vallarta! The duo headed south of the border in order to celebrate Brit's 29th birthday, and the trip also served as a break from their dealing with some nasty rumors. Now Brit and Jason are home and refreshed from their travels, and she's focusing on getting everything ready for the holidays. She picked up a tree at Walmart, then proceeded to work her way down her shopping list with a trip to the Westfield Mall and a few other boutiques. She and Jason spent Thanksgiving in Louisiana with the extended Spears clan, but it seems like they're prepping to unwrap presents this year in California.
