I’ve known about Talbots for years. I never gave them a real chance when I was in my early 20s (currently in my 30s). Even back then they carried basics and American classics; however, I believed they were for the more mature woman (nothing wrong with this but it didn’t appeal to me at the …
HUE Cotton Leggings
Though I haven’t been in the jolliest of moods lately, I’ve been absent for way too long from the blogosphere and wanted to post on some exciting finds of late… I first encountered the brand HUE many years ago in Bloomingdales’ flagship store. I must admit that I wasn’t initially impressed with the quality of …
A Beach Cottage Getaway…
Lately I’ve been under a lot of stress from a family project I took on and feel that I had emotionally missed a good part of the summer with all the chaos and bustle. Even earlier (during the last part of 2011) and before the onset of this project, I had found inspiration in shells …
Arsenal of the Domestic Goddess…
Honey Can Do. This is another post regarding organization (a topic I’m very fond of)… Had it not been for Beyond the Rack, I wouldn’t have known about this company. I’ve purchased a few of their products and have liked every one so far. The hanging chrome lingerie hanger folds flat for convenient storage …
A Rose by Any Other Name Would Smell as Sweet?….
I have been on a long and arduous “Des Esseintes” hunt for rose scented products which actually smell like a real rose = /. My obsession began with my yoga instructor’s rose essential oil which she occasionally dabs onto our hands as we are readying ourselves for shavasana (I love to place it on my …
The Vintage Chic Bride
I meant to post on this topic last year around this time (my little sister’s wedding). Sorry, somehow I got side-tracked once again. My husband’s cousin’s wedding is fast approaching so I’m dedicating this post to her in hopes that she will have a very happy life with her fiance. As for my wedding gown …
Beachy Keen Coverup
Although we have entered into October, I’m still fondly reminiscing over the once warm weather and bright sunny evenings… My favorite find for this summer was the Beachy Keen Coverup at Athleta. Soft, lightweight, and beach/spa paisley pretty! Alas they ran out of stock on the white and bali blue versions in my size so …
My Favorite Gardening Supplies…
I’m sorry I meant to post about my favorite gardening supplies (not all are necessities, some are frivolities) a lot sooner than this. Well here we go… Sphagnum moss cone-shaped hanging planters Lined metal scrollwork window boxes Trowel Spade Weeding fork & dandelion weeder Bulb planter Mister Gardening shears/clippers Flower/Rose cutters MiracleGro Plantone (fertilizer for …
They’re Back… Muji’s Amazing Touchscreen Gloves!
I bought a pair of black wool mix unisex touchscreen gloves last year from Muji (also well-known for their awesome acrylic storage) and totally loved them for their warmth, softness, non-itchiness (which woolen products are notoriously known for), and touchscreen capability! How awesome; no more having to take off my winter gloves to text on …
Third Time’s The Charm: Origins
I first tried an Origins product years ago; I believe it was a small bottle of milky makeup remover. It was okay but didn’t leave a huge impression on me. A few years later I was dorming at college and found out that one of my suitemates was an Origins fanatic. Had I liked her …
