A few years ago while visiting Long Island, I happened upon a beauty supply store and found a facial shield that I thought my mom would like. She ended up using this shield daily to protect her eyes from all that hairspray. A few months ago, my freshly cut French styled bangs were annoying me …
Everything’s Coming Up Coldwater Creek
While searching for a small sea biscuit/sand dollar to complete my plans for a future beach-themed terrarium, I found a darling versatile ivory seed bead bracelet by Coldwater Creek. I’ve often wondered about this brand… Can I say Talbots meets Peruvian Connection? Well, that’s my initial impression (all good) without having ever stepped into any …
Guinea Pigs & Prada Totes: Essential Cedar…
When I think of cedar there are two very odd combinations of memories I hold; the first being the home of my childhood friend’s tortoiseshell guinea pig and the second, cedar closets storing the likes of chain-handled quilted Prada totes. Strange eh? While in The Container Store I warmed up to the idea of cedar …
And Then There Was… Bronnley…
I’m still in love with the scent of oranges even though autumn is fast approaching and we’re entering into the world of creamy pumpkin scents (don’t get me wrong, I love those too!). All through summer, my search had led me to Pacifica’s Tuscan Blood Orange & Nerola Orange Blossom, Atelier Cologne’s Orange Sanguine, Mor’s …

My Top Cosmetic Highlighters
Although I use MAC’s Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Whisper of Gilt nearly daily, I also like NARS’ Albatross and Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strip. Since using Whisper of Gilt, I’ve grown very fond of cream formulas, much more so than in the past. Many light gold, pale pink, and shimmery ivory creams may make great highlighters …

Ode to the Aqueduct Flea Market
My earliest memories of going to the Aqueduct Flea Market (spanning more than 30 years in the Spring to early Fall: Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays?) with my parents and sister, was when I was 10 years old. It was thrilling, fun, something that put us all in good spirits. To think, all the great …
Rebecca Minkoff’s & Lanvin’s Cute Crossbodys
I’ve finally discovered the joy of crossbodys after putting aside a long time bias towards those extra large satchels. It’s a choice of carrying your essentials versus all those what-ifs (which many times do not come to fruition) and especially a no brainer when shoulder and backaches are concerned. Minkoff and Lanvin does it in …
