Les Bijoux

My love affair with jewels never wanes. When I hold a piece of fine jewelry I can’t help but imagine the designer’s hands bringing the raw materials to life and the designer’s eyes watching each minute detail affect the final piece. In my opinion even a newly created piece of jewelry shows hints of the history it… read more

Nifty Knickknacks

Stop the presses! These precious plates are just too good not to share. I can think of at least ten times in the last 3 months I could have used this little plate with the cup holder. Can you imagine if they offered these up at every cocktail party? I’ve got to believe that many… read more

School’s Out!

Anybody need some fun things to do with kids this summer? I say keep it easy. I am always amazed by the reaction I get from my girls when we do something that seems so simple to my ever-overcomplicating-things mind. With them we spend hours admiring bubbles… Heavenly, simple, family-oriented fun. Happy summer! It finally… read more

Party time!

As a writer – most of my work is logged during late nights and early mornings with only the clicking of the keyboard to keep me company. As a blogger I thrive on partnerships – interviews with clever creators and photo shoots with snappy objects. I collaborate because I believe in the people, places, things,… read more

Dear Old Dad

So here I am blogging about just how crafty and organized I am trying to become and what do I do? I leave shopping for Father’s Day gifts to the very last minute. Not crafty. Not organized. Sorry Dad. Sorry Husband. I may not have ordered personalized golf balls months ago but I do fancy… read more

Baby Boon!

This gadget was shown to me today and it is just too good not to share immediately. If you have a baby – you need it. I believe that “pouch baby food” is the best parenting invention to hit the market in the last 4 years. This spoon attachment just makes it that much more civilized…. read more

Block It Out

I am having a little thing for the block-heel sandal these days… It’s high enough to give your legs a little va-va-voom but low enough to still be comfortable for running around town. The Lanvin I love. But alas the Zara is in my pay grade. Zara really never misses when it comes to current… read more

Five Friday Favorites – To a Tee!

The hunter stalks her prey. She searches by the light of day and sometimes even in the dark of night on… the internet. What is this illusive item she seeks to find? The classic white tee. What’s this you say? It’s an easy target? Anyone could track it? Don’t be fooled by the surplus of… read more

Five Friday Favorites from Target

I have a love/hate thing going on with Target (it’s mostly love). For me it’s a dangerous place. I can go in for one small item and I have almost never walked out without spending $150. I need ONLY sunscreen and I leave with a t-shirt, shampoo, 3 different sized light bulbs, and a box… read more

Five Friday Favorites – For Athletes

It’s Friday people. Time to sweat it out. Let Sunday be your day of rest. Squeeze in one more workout before you head into the weekend. You know you never regret it, but in case you need some extra motivation – this gear is good. Trust me. Oh and the song at the end –… read more
