It’s holiday baking season! Time to haul out the recipe books, don the frilly apron, and clear the counters for a full day of baking bliss. If this image doesn’t fill you with Christmas warmth, maybe it’s time to switch things up.
Luckily, Miele Gallery, which opened earlier this year, is offering a chance to get out of your own kitchen and do some baking in a space that just might offer a bit more inspiration. (Because we can’t all have dream kitchens.)
While the Miele retail store frequently hosts demo nights in their fully-functional showrooms to help new and potential customers test out sophisticated kitchen appliances like convection ovens, next week they’re combining the charity of Christmas with the rich food and drink we all love. Miele Associate Chef Carola Price will offer baking tips, experts from Canadian and international wineries will be on hand with samples and pairing suggestions, and the built-in espresso machine will be prepped to keep the crowd pumped.
Proceeds from the Holiday Baking Event on Saturday, December 10 go to support Refuse to Lose — Team Bryce, a local charity working to help six-year-old Bryce Jude with his leukemia treatment. If helping this little guy doesn’t give you that warm and fuzzy Christmas feeling, we don’t know what will!
Tickets , includes lunch and a box of baked treats. Tickets are limited, call Miele Gallery at 613-695-9944 to reserve.
The Look: Modern meets high-tech.
Perfect for: The foodie who loves to entertain; the design geek who appreciates sleek storage.
USP: The functional displays (and steam ovens) really sell this place. Plus, the team at Miele understands that some of this stuff might be new to customers, which make in-store events even more fun — and important.

Christmas is coming … What shall we wear?!! Ask a thousand times repeated among women especially with the holidays of the year right? Relax, we’re a month of this celebration and you still have time to think. In addition, here is always to help you: leave the matter in our hands, because in this special article we indicate several ideas how to dress for a Christmas dinner.

Not the same dress to choose an informal occasion, at home, and the mere presence of our family or friends, a cocktail lounge in an exclusive restaurant or hundreds of guests. Sure how the party will be attending and will be more aimed at when choosing your clothes when you face your wardrobe, and avoid disarming and over again looking for something to convince you!
Formal option
The formal option consists of a beautiful and elegant red dress. We chose that color because, without a doubt the most representative of Christmas, not to mention a color is sexy, classic and always successful in a prom dress.
To combine, nothing better than Accessories in silver and black heels or nude colored peep toe, one of the fashion designs this season.
Casual option
On the other hand, informal or casual option to create through a garment that has caused a furor in fashion during 2011: the very comfortable leggings. Black, solid color or stamped this design gives us pants a modern and trendy, and also allows us to move with complete ease and comfort.

While leggings go with everything, there is a fashion accessory that is perfect with them: long shirts. Choose a cute tank top and above, cover with a long shirt unbuttoned: more canchero impossible.
If you want to favor comfort, use a nice pair of borcegos or, if it is hot for them, a low or ballerinas zapatillitas. But if you’re small, you want to stylize your figure and give a touch to your look more distinguished, lean towards heeled botinetas.
