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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
TOMS Crochet Classics
A cute and comfy shoe which also supports a great and worthy cause =). Please check out TOMS. It’s been quite popular so I had to buy a pair and see for myself. I love sporting my black crochet classics with a pair of jeans and solid tee. For extra foot support, add a Dr. …
Barbara Bixby’s Paisley Pavé Ring
One of my Valentine’s Day gifts from my husband was a gorgeous paisley ring by Barbara Bixby. I’ve never seen a design quite like this one; it’s very unique! I love it; definitely a go-to item!!! Here is a description of the ring… Paisley Pavé Ring “It’s very difficult to make this domed, inlaid stone …
