I must admit that until two years ago, Mother’s Day was just another CONTINUE READING

Bath & Body Works 3-Wick Candles: 2 for $22

There are 12 of them - and even though he has his two main teachers, they all have interaction with him and take excellent care of him. So I needed to buy 12 gifts to show my appreciation, without breaking the bank. $10 each seemed doable, except CONTINUE READING

I mean, they CONTINUE READING

I’m very fickle about my fingernails. Before I paint my nails or get them professionally did, I spend a inordinate amount of time pondering my polish options. I consider the season, recent trends, my wardrobe that week and anywhere special I might go. But despite all of this planning, I’m usually over my polish choice before it even dries.

My New Arm Candy: Rebecca Minkoff Swing Bag


After beauty products, handbags are my secondary addiction. But when it comes to arm candy, I have discriminating taste. For me, the perfect handbag seamlessly marries fashion with function, is handcrafted from high-quality materials, has really unique hardware and is classic but edgy - all at the same time.

Roberto Cavalli moves fast. Born into an artistic family, Cavalli headed straight for the Art Institute, where he trained in textile print. Before graduation, the fledgling designer had produced a series of floral prints on knit fabric that caught the eye of several prominent Italian hosiery labels. By the early 1960s, he had founded his own design house in Florence and was turning out unabashedly glamorous ready-to-wear for spirited, independent women. It wasn’t long before his intrinsic love of excess and appreciation of nature became trademarks of the collection.

Where would designer sisters, Emily and Ashley Green find inspiration for their vintage-like, elegant baubles? Their grandmother’s jewelery box, of course. Inspired by the Oriental accents and brilliant gemstones they encountered, the pair launched a collection composed of glamorous yet wearable pieces with an exotic touch. Made of luxury materials like 18 karat gold and semi-precious gems, the line is most certainly one in a million. No wonder that pieces from the collection have shown up at red-carpet events on such fashion-forward actresses as Julianne Moore and Sarah Jessica Parker.
