Elledecor.com is featuring several celebrity closets that will make you green with envy, including Nate Berkus, Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer, J Crew's Jenna Lyons, and fashion designer Nanette Lepore. But that's not all! You can get your own … [Read more...]

Friday’s Favorite Product: Lady Jane Bottleneck Vase
September 10, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
I did not expect to love these like I do, but these are gorgeous! They are each handblown and I think you can see in the photograph the bubbles and slight imperfections in the glass that make each one unique. Modeled after the demijohn botttles used in wine making, the Lady Jane Bottleneck Vases are statement pieces. Because they are so simple with just a hint of color, they stand alone beautifully. But picture them with … [Read more...]

I love our Roxy Reindeer Accent Towels! These are super soft and generous in size (27x18 inches) and are only $26.96 for a set of two.

But I'm also thinking these would be fanstastic little gifts! Wrap a loaf of homemade banana bread or a bottle of wine in one, tie it up with … [Read more...]

Transition Your Containers
August 30, 2010 by · 2 Comments
September is looming and it's just a tad cooler outside. Just a tad. I realized this weekend that the containers on my back deck that I so lovingly planted and watered at the end of spring really took a beating this summer in the 95+ degree heat (for weeks on end) and my own shameful neglect. But my budget is stretched from back-to-school, and it's too early for pansies, so what's a girl to do? Start … [Read more...]
