DH and I were trying to figure out what happened to this restaurant over the past few weeks. This was the start of it… one night we took a chance and drove to Mohegan Lake even though they didn’t answer their phone (DH thought it was uncharacteristic of them). When we arrived the door was …
Douglas Little & Co Candles
DL & Co’s candles are so fragrant and the packaging is beautiful. These candles add a special touch to any table. I have a Pink Pepper on my desk. The scent is very strong so I tend to leave it burning for an hour or two. They were featured on HauteLook several weeks ago. The …
Bare Minerals
I received their starter kit (purchased from Sephora.com) last week and absolutely love it. It’s easy to apply, goes on evenly with sweeps of the application brush, and leaves the skin feeling silky soft. No caking, no oiliness, no acne. Of course, the brushes have to be cleansed and kept clean, as with all brushes. …
L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani
I’m only slightly familiar with this brand and haven’t followed their seasons regularly. I remember when LAMB first came out. I loved the knit tops but never ended up buying any. Recently I spotted a pretty pair of LAMB shoes- sort of a retro punky style and just loved them. I also discovered I liked …
Marc Jacobs, Old & New & Louis Vuitton Shimmer Halo
Just found these pretty bags via ShopStyle. Beautiful but crazy expensive- priced like an inexpensive or pre-loved Chanel. The costs of creating designer bags from an industry point-of-view may be rising but the prices are becoming out-of-control. I’m mad at MJ for his continued price hikes. Some of his bags in the Spring 2009 Collection …

Via Spiga
I first saw Via Spiga at Bloomingdales 59th. Street flagship store. Their shoes are amazingly comfortable. I fell in love with a bronze latticed leather flat. Surprise, surprise, I’m enamored with yet another flat (the black with red floral embellishment as seen below). Of course the high heeled floral strappies are also TDF. *Photocredit: Ruelala
Marc Jacobs, Spring 2008 Line
Gilt just had a sale yesterday featuring MJ’s Spring 2008 Handbag Collection. It brings back good memories of his 2003 and 2004 handbags with the new rendering of his Venetia. My top picks are his Large MultiPocket satchel and his “frog” bags. *Photocredit: Gilt
Herve Leger
I’m not too familiar with this designer or brand. I think one should be tall and have an hourglass figure to look especially polished in HL’s designs. Unfortunately both these attributes are not me. I love the knit dress in prune. *Photocredit: HauteLook
Beauty Rescue Lounge
This seems like a relatively new brand to me. I’m all for trying new products so I ordered minis of BRL’s exfoliating cleansers at a Hautelook sale. I’m featuring the brand’s candle line in this blog for now. *Photocredit: Beauty Rescue Lounge
