I wish I had a use for this shelf. It’s just so charming! Here is its story… every day, as dawn breaks, French bakers rush freshly-baked baguettes to stylish iron frames like this one to cool and await sale. I could almost smell the pain au lait, pain au chocolat, and pain de sucre…mmm….. We …
Bathroom Re-decorated
I love vintage/antique, French style decorations, and calming yet cheerful decor. I also love working with complimentary “Spring” colors. My bathroom was previously really boring with stale “cold” blues, so I wanted to make some changes. While my bathroom is quite small, I’m grateful that I only need to share it with Stella.
Pretty Mirrors
After my visit to Murano, Italy in 2003, I fell in love with venetian mirrors and hand blown glass items. Below are my vanity mirrors (both actually in pink).
Body by Victoria & So Sexy
I’ve been using Body by Victoria & So Sexy for 2+ years. I love the way they smell =). The So Sexy hair pomade works so well to style my new short haircut. I’ve always loved the So Sexy hair serum. I hope they never discontinue it. Why do companies tend to discontinue good products …
Spongeables
I’m CRAZY about these sponges! They are infused with moisturizers, glycerin cleansers, and different fragrances e.g. passion flower, blue ocean, citrus coconut, and purple fields (lavender) to name a few. I bought a bunch to give as stocking stuffers this Christmas. I’ve only bought from CVS so far but below is a link to their …
Sophie Digard is a Scarf Lover’s Dream
Sophie Digard’s scarves and accessories are gorgeous! They are like art. There are very few places that carry her scarves, bags, and accessories… I don’t know why? For Sophie‘s fans, the stores in New York or online are: Bloomingdales (Soho, NY, not sure if the flagship store on East 59th. Street carries them?) Saks Fifth …
Valentino & Lace
While I’ve seen some blogs which negatively criticize Valentino’s attempt to marry leather and lace, there are those who will agree with me that they’ve done a fabulous job creating elegance with a hard edge. Here are some examples: The first time I saw a bag from this particular collection was at a boutique in …
Temptation Tea House
Another really great place to eat. I usually order their wonton soup with watercress, beef & vegetable udon noodle soup, lychee tea, and one of their bubble teas to-go (really amazing). No boring menus here. The staff is attentive. When the weather permits, it’s always nice to eat outside. I wouldn’t doubt that we’ve dined …
Gorgeous Residential Architecture
These are pictures of two Tudors with turrets. They are magnificent! My second favorite are Colonials. I love homes that have interesting interiors e.g. built-in cabinets, a spiral stair casing, cathedral ceilings. Something that says “charm, charm, charm.” Pretty landscaping is also a big plus. I love japanese cherry trees, japanese maples (weeping or not), …
