I’m not sure how I became fascinated with shearling aviator hats and aviator jackets? Was it my passion for studying about American history, specifically World War I and World War II (though the Civil War was equally as intriguing) or the costumes which occasionally appeared on old comedy shows such as Abbott & Costello (my …
Lights in the Night
I hope all of you have been enjoying your holidays. They’re not over yet… Though this is the Christmas season, I’d like to backtrack and post on some cute little Hallow’s Eve items I bought previously in the beginning of October created by Midwest*CBK. An inexpensive way to spruce up a room during the holidays, …
Talbots: My New Found Treasure
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
