ANN TAYLOR EVERYWHERE — Gentlemen, if you're stumped on what to get your mothers or girlfriends for Christmas, then this event is a godsend. Ask the special ladies in your lives to make wish lists online or in-store, and then go to your nearest Ann Taylor on December 19 from 6-8p.m. to have the store's stylists help you check things off. Best of all, there are complimentary cocktails, gifts and the chance to win a trip to Vegas. Looks like everybody is on Ann Taylor's nice list. [Miami.com]

DOWNTOWN MIAMI — Having a perfect hair day in South Florida is rare, but instead of fighting what can't be fought, the South Florida Natural Hair, Beauty and Wellness Expo encourages women to let their strands go au naturale. The exposition, which will be held on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., will hold workshops, product sampling, demonstrations, expert panels and more to teach consumers and professionals the wonders of organic beauty.
