One of my favorite beverage companies. I usually buy my Teas’ Teas from either the snack cafe near the train, the Soho delis, or Mrs. Green’s. This company also makes really yummy Natural Fruit Teas. They are hard to find; so I usually enjoy them at a nearby movie theater. I haven’t seen them at …
Green Tea with Brown Rice
That’s my choice of drink to help me unwind at night. I really should make it a nightly ritual. The best aspects of green tea with brown rice… one can easily find it in Mrs. Greens or any well-stocked American supermarket, Hong Kong Supermarket, and I suspect Ten Ren Tea shops and this tea could …
Gift Wrap
I don’t usually expect beautiful gift-wrapping from every seller I buy from. This was an unexpected surprise which brightened up my day :). Little details count with me (a thank you card, organza ribbon, nice tissue paper) and it truly exceeded my expectations. Oh, and I confess that the picture below was my meager re-wrapping …
Santi Purses
I recently discovered the joy of Santi purses. They are so adorable. Surprisingly can store quite a bit because they’re like extra large coin purses with metal chain handles. They may be slightly pricey but I think they are mostly hand-crafted and labor-intensive, and therefore the price tag is a little more justified. I can …
JCrew in Collaboration with Dulken & Derrick
Flower pins which have a vintage nostalgia and superbly dresses up an outfit. I have a wine colored flower pin I’m planning to pair with my Tocca fitted long coat. Can’t wait to finally get it in the mail =). I love to see colorful accessories and totes on people during the pale wintry season… …
Post Card
I first saw this brand in a sporting goods store in Connecticut. There was a Post Card fitted turtle neck in black with various cute little patches I passed on and am still kicking myself for =(. Anyway, I saw this coat from them and it was love re-kindled. That metallic olive green is so …
Nanette Lepore
These are my first Nanette Lepores. Great for both formal ensembles as well as jeans; the purchase of shoes are most worth the money when they are versatile =). Less guilt involved =P.
Celebrity Bridal Gowns
Here are my two faves…
JCrew Lisette Wedding Gown
Two words… exquisite, ethereal =). I would have loved to wear this gown for my wedding. The price is much more affordable than a Vera Wang. I can be a very practical person and decided that it would be a waste of my money to blow an outrageous amount for a gown that I would …
XCVI Casuals
A really great company which features “tie-dye-like” designs and soft textiles. Another brand producing comfy clothing. The type you would want to lounge in on weekends. *Photocredit: Tamar Levine (1,2,3,4)
