apples are so good as snack when Fall comes around- so many comforting foods can be done with them. I prefer apple pies and baked apples :)

i think Pacifica candles also have an orange scent, and they are a bit cheaper at Ulta stores
Interiors | Citrusy Soy Goodness!
Office need brightening up? Bedroom a little dreary? Bathroom have the blahs? These candles are just the thing for spicing up the vibe of just about any room - and the added perk here is that each of these beautiful babies are made with Eco friendly soy wax and fitted with optimized wicks ...
i am one of the weird people that doesnt like using a/c - so far i have only turned it on for like 10 minutes during the days when it was over a 100 degrees outside
Tip Sheet | Save Some Watts This Summer
The summer months are here! At least for most of the country - where I am it's still early Spring apparently (grey skys for days and days). But with the warm weather comes the tendency to flip on the air conditioner. And with that blast of deliciously cool air comes a big surge in electric...
that bathtub looks so inviting... i love looking at all these exotic locations.
Weekend Getaway | Maia in The Seychelles
If your heart breaks just a little thinking about all the things you need to get done this weekend instead of hopping a flight to this fabulous place, I'm right there with ya! But a trip this summer just might be the thing. Maia is touted as being a spiritual awakening of destinations...a pl...
very interesting article.... and i agree about "amateur" term, often when i order a drink someone says, Oh girly drink! Well, what, am I supposed to order manly drinks- I am a girl, c'mon!
Food | Trendcaster ~ Having a Cocktail to Call Your Own
Once upon a time, ironically around Prohibition, every star had their own special cocktail (or at least a drink as in the case with the Shirley Temple). Mary Pickford, Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo, Douglas Fairbanks, Marlene Dietrich, Will Rogers, Ginger Rogers, Lupe Valez, even President Roosev...
yum, i better use the remainder of my chicken and make something similar tonight
Weekend Cooking | Chicken Satay
This Snappy Chicken Satay dish is really fast and delivers full fabulous flavor. It works well on an outdoor or stove top grill. It's absolutely one of my favorites. Ingredients: 2 boneless chicken breasts (some markets call them chicken tenders) a total of about 1 lb. 2 teaspoons sesame o...
aww those are the cutest little goats.... never tried goat soaps but i am sure they are very moisturizing
Beauty | Brent & Josh at Beekman 1802
Sometime last fall Beekman 1802 newsletters started showing up in my inbox. I must admit I get a lot of correspondence - usually around 600 emails a day if you can imagine, much of it unsolicited. In order to stay sane most of the press releases and ad type correspondence gets dumptrucked in...
i love the color combo
Fashion | The Photography of Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott
Meet Mert and Marcus -- Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott that is, fashion photographers. Greatly influenced by Guy Bourdin, the duo's work is marked by their use of digital manipulation. The result: a vast collection of vivid images punctuated by deeply saturated color and textural depth. Mert ...
i have been planning to be more sun-conscious this summer, so i use sunscreen but i need something to protect my scalp that tends to get burned and my hair.
Beauty | Summer Haircare Protection
I can't begin to tell you all how happy I am now that summer is here, long-awaited and overdue! As we all know, with summer comes lots of time spent in the sun, swimming in pools and many trips to beaches and lakes. And, unfortunately this means stress on your hair! Aveda recently released a...
well, considering blondes are a minority it would be a proper marketing move for Redken to focus or at least pay attention to brunettes more :) i wonder who runs their marketing department.....
Beauty | Another Facebook Trick-Out ~ Wanna Meet Up With 10,000 Blondes?
In our next installment of clever Facebook trick-outs, Redken has launched an application called 10,000 Blondes - which sounds like instant fodder for jokes on David Letterman and the Tonight Show, ect. Apparently Redken is pretty sure that blondes have more fun, as they are inviting only the...
that pink dress is so amazing... but then i am partial to that shade of pink :) my favorite color!
Fashion | Badgley Mischka's Beunos Aires Translation
Buenos Aires socialites of the fifties are what gave rise to the ruffles and flounces in Badgley Mischka's 2010 Resort Collection. Marked by gloriously bright colors and glimmers of glitz you can't help but think of doing the tango or the cha cha cha in one of these frocks. source: WWD Rela...
i much prefer max factor to covergirl.... i dont really like or buy anything from cover girl
Beauty | Max Factor Leaving The U.S.
Have a favorite shade of Max Factor lip gloss? Better stock up - that is if you buy it in the United States. The august beauty brand is packing up and leaving - or more accurately being phased out in favor of a stronger focus on another Proctor and Gamble line, CoverGirl. Max Factor is cur...
Oh, Carrie, both of them are reading your blog? You must be very proud!
Style | Justin Timberlake + Kanye West = Both Love Stella McCartney
I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one that will find this little tidbit even mildly interesting - but here it goes. I was just doing my hourly daily run through my favorite blogs, one of them being TheCut, and saw this very inspired and downright hilarious article comparing and contrasting th...
wow, she is so skinny!
Style | Vera Wang To Be The Next Dancing Queen?
E! is reporting that Vera Wang has signed on to be part of the next crop of Dancing With The Stars contestants. Considering that Wang was once a figure skater (before her post at Vogue and then on to designing) she'll probably do a fabulous job. Question is, will she design her costumes? N...
free stuff? i am gonna apply for this when I get a minute :) and i love reviewing things, so this sort of thing is right up my alley
Beauty | Have You Gotten Your Free Beauty Samples Yet?
Yes, I said free! This very cool Facebook application, Free Beauty Samples is a joint venture between beauty consulting firm Excelsior Beauty of Paris and youth marketer Archrival. The process is pretty basic, go to to the application page, and register your address and skin type. You'll in...
i am into big bags lately- i love the way that beige bag looks. i wonder if any of these will be in Target, or is it his high fashion line?
Fashion | Mizrahi Previews A Candy Coated World
Isaac Mizrahi has been the purveyor of optimism for years, so it's not surprising that his Resort 2010 collection is chock full of gumdrops dreams and champagne visions. “Resort is a season people expect to be excited about,” Mizrahi said of the collection which is marked by candy-colored tw...
how gorgeous :) but i like sniffing my bath stuff before i buy it. i hope they make it available in stores
Beauty | Green & Spring Debuts This Month (sniff, sniff ... in the UK)
Jessica and Peter Frankopan, the couple behind the L’Hôtel and Le Restaurant in Paris and The Corner Club, a private members’ club in Oxford, are branching out into bath and body care. Their gorgeous line Green & Spring, is being introducing later this month - in London. Frustrating for us ...
Thanks guys and Thank You, Carrie! It looks like a wonderful makeup collection- I never tried Mark before and I am looking forward to new summer make-up :)

Congratulations to Faith24 - you won the amazing collection of Mark by Avon Cosmetics that Lauren Conrad wore to the MTV Movie Awards last weekend! Thanks for everyone's enthusiasm and comments. We still have some really fab contests going on, and have more really great ones on the books in...
the flower dress is so pretty. i love Stella designs
Fashion | Stella McCartney Debuts Resort 2010
I'm still in the throes of repeating "holy cow" to myself about that 2010 thing up there in the headline - will we start referring to the new decade as the 10's soon? (If you happen to be older than 20 that just has to give you pause). Anyway, Stella McCartney is previewing her Resort 2010 ...
Congrats, Carrie! Your site has such a fun friendly atmosphere, I enjoy reading it immensely. I hope you have many many more posts to come- keep up the creative energy.
Whoo Hoo For Bloomacious - 1000 Posts and A Quote in People Magazine!
I was super excited to see that People Magazine included a quote about parties that I talked with them about a few weeks ago. It's in this month's Style Watch on page 98 which is on newstands right now ~ thanks so much ladies - it looks amazing! I was also really thrilled when I clicked on...
hmmm.... i really prefer regular classic jeans that nobody seems to wear anymore :) but then , i only have one pair and hardly ever wear them anyways
Weekend Fashion | Destroyed Denim
You just know this look has jettisoned right past the edgy fashiony types and headed straight for the mainstream when you see our girl Giada Delaurentiis do the rope line with her daughter in tow wearing it. Destroyed denim - uh huh. When we saw it make its way down the Balmain runway all r...
i love the pillows and the blankets in the first room especially.
Weekend Reading | Easy Elegance
I've been quite captivated by this book, Easy Elegance by Atlanta Bartlett , since I picked it up from the bookstore yesterday. Chock full of eclectic, mid-century modern, retro and high / low design ideas, it stands as a backlash against what Bartlett terms as "bland good taste" (yes, I thin...
probably tastes way better than those in a freezer section of grocery store- i could never bring myself to buy those. i am spoiled - my mom made lots of pancakes (mostly with apples) and blinzes, so her recipes will beat Martha's anytime! so good with sour cream and some honey, or homemade jams...
Weekend Cooking | Make Ahead Pancakes From Martha
We're off to see Martha Stewart today, so I thought it would be fitting to try a recipe from her remarkable "Everyday Food". If you've never picked this little magazine up, you should, it's chock full great ideas, workable recipes, and best of all, it's just the right size to zip into your ha...
that reminds me so much of my childhood and our summers at a farm... beautiful flowers and i bet the aroma is intoxicating :)
Weekend Gardening | Peonies ~ the sequel!
Last week I did a lovely, rootless little post on my peonies that were budding up like blazes, but hadn't opened. We recieved so many twitters, facebook comments, and notes asking to see the flowers when they opened that I just had to grab my camera and snap these shots of the newly opened Pe...
and Kim Kardashian said in the interview that she never uses false eyelashes.... Honestly!
Weekend Beauty | Win Some Lash Food.
Yes, the lash is the thing this year - and while some of us have long fluttery lashes naturally, others of us have to work at them a bit. A lash curler, and two coats of some fab mascara will usually do the trick - or if you're feeling a bit more adventurous do some false lashes. But if y...
