If you need a 2009 calendar, let me suggest the most fashionable out there: the W Hotels/CFDA 2009 Calendar ($15). What makes this more special than others? For one, it's designed to look like a sketchbook, includes blank sketch pages, and has room to hold a pencil.

Coolest part, 12 designers, — Diane von Furstenberg, the Rag & Bone boys, Victoria Bartlett — were asked to contribute an exclusive image that has inspired their creative process. Plus, 100 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the CFDA Foundation. I can't think of one reason not to buy this calendar.

Every year, my family always gives me a new calendar to adorn my walls. This year they surprised me with one made from my own photographs, however I would've been just as happy with one of the many foodie-friendly calendars out there. I love the Play with your Food calendar, as well as Salut! — a weekly planner that features vintage wine posters. Also, who could look past this daily cupcake calendar? You can have a new treat every day or every month, you decide! There are a lot of great photos to choose from, as well as some fantastic vintage ads. I've picked out a few of my favorites, you can see them by scrolling through the list below.
