Red Carpet Moments

Lately, when watching the red carpet, I rarely come across an actress who has knocked it out of the park head to toe- something always seems to be a bit off leaving me to wonder... who is styling these people and telling them they look OK when they don't?!

Here are my top favorites (minus a hairdo or two)...

Mila Kunis in Alexander McQueen, January Jones in Carolina Herrera, Claire Danes in Louis Vuitton, Tina Fey in Oscar De La Renta

Metallic Mondays

Throwing a nod at purple on this Monday morning...

Sequin Trim Tee- Madewell, Metallic Tote Bag- Gap, Purple Stud Earrings- Kate Spade, Floral Metallic Skirt- Matthew Williamson, Plum Metallic Topsiders- Sperry

The Cove

Keeping up with the Ocean theme...

I received an email this morning featuring these James Perse long sleeved, 100% cotton, The Cove shirts. Profits from the shirts are going to various organizations working to save the dolphins. They have already sold out online, but you still have a chance to scoop one up at a James Perse store- hurry!!

Surf & Turf

Here are a few seaworthy home decor pieces that are fully functional, as well as visually appealing...

Shell measuring cups- Anthropologie, Celia Landman Urchin Bowl and Utensils, Urchin Salt & Pepper Shakers- L'Object, Shell Salad Utensils- Lotus Arts De Vivre

Bloomin' Bloomers

I don't know about you but with all this snow and cold weather, I could use a bouquet of colorful flowers! Gilly Hicks has a great collection of bright bloomers right now...

Sailor's Delight

I finally made it over to the J.Crew Bridal Boutique on Madison Avenue in New York this past weekend. It was pretty much everything I expected- clean lines, well organized, cool details, and lots of sparkle. I snapped this shot of their crystal ship chandelier, and I now feel like I really need one...

Polished

For a long time I was a nail biter. I learned to stop by treating myself to manicures- when your nails are beautifully polished, it does make you think twice before chomping away! Since I do polish my nails quite frequently, I really do appreciate natural polishes. Here are a few of my favorites brands and colors...

Spring Preview

Spring/ Summer 2011 collections have slowly started popping up online. I randomly stopped over at the Jodi Arnold website to see what she has been working on- I used to be a design intern back when it was called Mint. I have always loved her use of prints, and decorative detailing. Here are a few of my favorites from the new collection...

Think Swim

The Mara Hoffman swim collection for Madewell is adorable. I really like the graphic prints...

This Life

Before I head out for the weekend, I want to send you all off dancing...

Two Door Cinema Club's "This is the Life" is a fun, happy-go-lucky tune that just makes you want to dance and smile...

Weekend Update

This should be a great weekend... my friend Sarah is coming to visit, and the Towanda crew is taking her shopping for a wedding dress! Good times, good friends!

The Balm

Winter is well underway... and if I couldn't tell by the freezing temps, frequent snowfalls, or leafless trees, then I can certainly tell by how dry my hands are.

I love these shea butter tins from L'Occitane because they are tiny enough that you can just throw one in your bag, but also because they are an all-in-one miracle product- targeting hands, lips, elbows, even hair!

Conditioned

I am a conditioner freak! If my naturally frizzy hair does not have any conditioner, it can get pretty scary! So as you can imagine, I manage to keep several kinds on hand. These conditioning balms from Lollia are beautifully packaged.

Potion Power

This past week has been pretty crazy... I had a tooth pulled (extremely painful), which in turn led to me not being able to sleep very well, which in turn led to a nasty head cold {sigh}.

Needless to say, I'm over it all! So when I came across 21 Drops, it got me thinking... a bunch of their 21 fragrances sound like they could come in handy right about now. Think if I put them all on at once I will get the PAIN RELIEF I need so I can be INSPIRED to feel CALM enough to SLEEP which will give me the STRENGTH I need to continue my PASSION? Probably not, but definitely worth a try! Thoughts?
