6. Our Latest Obsession
SEAH is the connection of the universe with time, of the past with the present, of the zodiac sign with the being, and of the being with his or her individualized personality. In ancient times, there was no timepiece. People determined the hour by the sunrise and sunset, by the moon and the stars. Time was dependent upon the heavens and the planets. The movement of the universe dictated time and the seasons of nature. The SEAH story is one of its kind and because of this, the SEAH watch is truly a Gift Of Time.

7. Lady Liberty Brandishes Her Glorious Flame
One of our favorite designers, Catherine Malandrino, has gotten ‘spirited’ for the holidays through a partnership in which the Parisian-chic designer has created limited edition collectible bottles. The Limited Edition Cointreau Bottle designed by Catherine Malandrino is the definitive "specialty" gift for the discerning connoisseur and the ultimate conversation piece for the fashion-forward entertainer.

If you have a hankering for some Deep South sugary delights, check out David Guas' new cookbook “DamGoodSweet.” The pastry and dessert creator is best known for being the imaginative authority at Washington’s Passion Food Hospitality restaurants (Acadiana, Ceiba, DC Coast, and TenPenh).

The tome — part travelogue and part memoir — acknowledges his rogue-filled childhood where as a teenager, after pressing his luck with his parents, he would get sent to his Aunt Boo’s house three hours west of his home in New Orleans. There, he learned to respect the sanctity of the stove and how to create such Louisiana mainstays as shrimp Creole and spicy redfish. It was in her kitchen where the dream to create pastries was born.

DamGoodSweet is done with just enough flair to shake you to your sugary cores without getting any crumbs anywhere.

DamGoodSweet hits shelves Nov. 1, costs $25 and is available at Politics & Prose, damgoodsweet.com and fine book retailers. To learn more about Guas, his cookbook and his private consulting business, visit damgoodsweet.com. –Sara Schwartz
