cover it up with a robe

Do you ever wear a robe?
I’m in the market for a new bathrobe, something to wear while I do my hair and makeup after my shower/before I get dressed and at night over my pajamas. But I’m not sure what type to get — terrycloth, cotton or fleece. What do you recommend?

amor verdadero necklace

My Amor Verdadero (True Love) may be returning home from his deployment in as little as two weeks! Perhaps when he gets back, he’ll buy me one of these lovely little 14k gold-fill discs from Anne Kiel as a belated Valentine’s day present.

with this ring

Dear Generous Husband,
Born in March, my birthstone is Aquamarine. I think these simple stacking 14K gold and Aquamarine rings would make a fantastic 29th birthday present. (Yikes, 29!) What do you think?
Love,
Your Adoring and Appreciative Wife
PS – I found a 20% discount on this designer, oh wonderful husband. Just let me know if you’d like [...]

reusable grocery bags

In an effort to be more green in 2009, I’d like to start using reusable bags when I go grocery shopping. Which brand of bags would you recommend, environmentally conscious readers: Envirosax or RuMe? Or are there there other manufacturers of reusable bags that I’ve overlooked?
At the moment I’m leaning towards RuMe because the handles [...]

fly away with miss dior cherie

I just love this image. The muted colors. The beautiful girl and those legs. The scenery below. Those legs!
According to i heart you, the image is from a Sophia Coppola-directed commercial for Miss Dior Cherie perfume. The commercial, Ms. Coppola’s first, will debut tonight during Gossip Girl (which I don’t watch–do you?).
I wonder if the [...]

“ba rock it” t-shirt

As soon as I saw this t-shirt on A Cup of Jo, I knew I had to have it. I love the slogan, the color and its worn-in look.
The catch: Obama is not my husband’s candidate of choice (to be fair, McCain may not be either), so to purchase something political with our money just [...]

accessories for italy

We made an impromptu stop at Dillard’s yesterday to see if they had any good Labor Day sale items. Specifically, I was hoping to find comfortable shoes and a hat to wear in Italy (I have been totally fixated on the idea of straw fedora), and I did–at ridiculously low prices.  I bought a pair [...]

leatherlicious

I love this leather jacket by Katy Rodriguez, which was featured in today’s DailyCandy email. Sadly, even with DailyCandy’s twenty percent off discount, it is still way out of my price range.
I’m also drooling over Matt Bernson’s patent-leather riding boots from the September 2008 issue of Real Simple (page 225). I’ve been scouring the ‘net [...]

sole searching

Dear Friends,
I’m looking for a comfortable yet stylish pair of shoes to wear on my honeymoon next month. My plan is to wear some sort of sundress or skirt/top every day (aka NOT look like an American tourist in Italy), so I need something equally cute for my feet (which are terribly long and narrow). [...]
