Beau Soleil

I instantly feel in love with this eco-jersey knit Flap tunic dress from Beau Soleil when I saw it on page 356 of Lucky Magazine's October Issue this month. I had to look it up and what better way to add one of this season's must-have colors to your wardrobe! Plus, you can wear the studded shoulder detailing two ways to mix-up the look. This is a great dress to sport around running all your errands this Saturday!

Linda Loudermilk

I am in love with Linda Loudermilk's Fall 2007 Collection. It is so feminine and luxurious and just makes the women wearing her designs just float like air. Linda has coined luxury eco (tm) as an emerging fashion movement. She started her company back in 2002, when it wasn't understood how vital it was to be thinking outside of the box in terms of alternative materials to use in fashion design. Loudermilk's fabrics are made of sasawashi, bamboo, sea cell, soya and other exotic self-sustaining plants. The next step, like with many things will be to see how we can make eco-fashion affordable and more accessible to you and me. I will do some investigating and get back to you.

PS - Check out the Linda as the "Green Goddess" of Fashion in W Magazine's It List on page 238 in the October Issue.

Lafco New York - Henri Bendel

From the Lafco New York House and Home Collection comes my new home office candle! I love this refreshingly crisp and comforting scent combination of rosemary and eucalyptus and when I smelled it, I instantly knew I had to have it. I am extremely picky when it comes to candle scents and my favorites are few and far between and I'm telling you, this one I can't get enough of. This natural soy based candle's aroma is rich, yet subtly so true to fragrance and perfectly balanced. As I am writing this, I realize I must share with you my other favorite, Henri Bendel's Firewood Candle, which reminds me of going for walks with my family on a winter day back in Maine. Now you know. These are the 2 best candles ever. Thank you.

Dogeared Jewels & Gifts

My husband and I just celebrated our One Year Wedding Anniversary on September 9th! We celebrated this year in Lake Tahoe (so amazing) and spent a few hours one day exploring some shops and spotted this Silver Heart House Blessing from Dogeared. I have long been a fan of Dogeared's hand-made goods and philosophy behind their brand. My hubbie secretly bought this for us and we opened it together on the night of our anniversary. We talked and then closed our eyes and in unison, made a wish and hung it above our bed, so that we can appreciate and remember what is most meaningful in our lives - each other and our love. This makes the perfect gift for weddings and anniversaries - share the love!

Glass bottles


Adds delicate and timeless class to any surface...

peruse a flea market or thrift shop to find one-of-a-kind bottles...or a dumping ground...

Place on a window sill and let the light shine through...add various levels of water and a flower from a walk on your street...

Remember your grandma's boudoir and create one of your own...
