I instantly fell in love with Baylis & Harding‘s Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Hand Wash and Lotion during our stay in The Churchill Arms, Cotswolds England. Upon our return to London, my husband patiently endured a long yet fruitless search for this brand. None to be found at Boots, Superdrugs, John Lewis, Debenhams (except Moonlight …
On Holiday with Vera Bradley’s Grand Traveler & Weekender
Recently my husband and I traveled to England and Wales. I brought my Vera Bradley Viva La Vera Weekender as my carry-on and really loved this bag for its generous pockets and ease of carrying. It kept all my belongings well organized and nicely accessible; with the added plus of being made with cheery patterned, …
Lush Review: Ceylon Tea Bath Cocktail
A bubbly, frothy melon-colored bath. This was a belated birthday treat to myself. I was occupied in a good way with celebrations with family and the completion of a school course. I didn’t get a chance to enjoy this bath cocktail until yesterday. 1 Luverly Bath Ballistic: A mild floral. My first guess was chamomile; …
Handbag Phenom: Onna Ehrlich
I’m lusting over Onna Ehrlich’s Francoise Croco Bowler and Dawn Croco handbags! They are so gorgeous, roomy, and look well-made! Simple design- I love that because some handbags are wayyy overly designed… ugh… I’ve only seen these two particular bag styles offered no more than once or twice in sample sales. Both times I missed …
Kate Spade: Just a Few Handbags I’ve Been Loving!
Do you remember the Kate Spade Sam? The “it” bag of 2000? It was a classic minimalistic (I mean this in a good way) handbag which was quite cute. I bought it in black and a deep silvery-grey (eventually we parted ways via eBay). My qualm about the Sam was that it was too bulky …
Lush Review: Perennial Garden Bath Cocktail
My Perennial Garden bath cocktail was a sweet white powdery floral citrus blend. A perfect before sleep treat. My mind is always busy with some mundane thought but all I could think of were the pop-pops of the bath bubbles for a change. All I needed was a rubber ducky to sail on by. 1 …
My Favorite Timbuk2
I should have written on this very topic years ago, so better late than never. I love the Timbuk2 in blackberry, plum, and lavender (can you tell I love purple?) and wish they didn’t discontinue these pretty colors. Too bad at the time I didn’t realize how much I liked this trio; I would have …
B. Makowsky’s Ollie Satchel
Another beautiful, well-made (leather), reasonably priced satchel for its quality, and highly functional design by B. Makowsky! Gee, I haven’t gotten over my honeymoon state-of-mind yet with the Melbourne Shopper and here we go again! I think he’s a bag genius!!! The Ollie comes in two sizes, the 12″ and 14.” For me it’s a …
InterDesign Three Drawer Organizers
I just bought two more InterDesign 3 Drawer Organizers to hold and separate my hair barettes and other small items including bath related or haircare related samples and lip glosses. I initially started organizing with these InterDesign drawers about a year ago. They hold what I need, are affordable at ~$11.99 each, attractive in design, …
More Acrylic Organization Recommends for You
I recently purchased a faceted acrylic candy dish with lid and a Clicker Caddy (both made by US Acrylic) to store my powder pearls and lip glosses respectively so I wanted to post about them. I’m really glad I bought them! You may find them on Amazon and eBay. *Photocredit: NYCupcake
