It’s that time again for another Friday find! We search high and low for fabulous products that we love and adore. This week is a multipurpose item that’s earth friendly and made with tiny clay beads! It’s the Neck Wrap by Ostrigepillow! One of the big pluses are you can literally take it anywhere you go.
Today’s Friday find provides gentle pressure and calming warmth to ease stressed shoulders and nurture your neck. All-natural clay beads gather moisture from the air and radiate heat for long-lasting warmth and light pressure-point stimulation. It’s your go-to neck and shoulder heat wrap for calming comfort you can use again and again. With a reversible fabric, both sides are comfortable and soft. It retails for $45.00 and comes in a variety of colors. Considering you can use this countless times, hot or cold, it’s worth it’s weight it gold!
When looking for a comfortable, stylish and versatile sandal that works with most everything, we tend to opt for a neutral color; tan, white or black. Why? With most outfits, you’ll find one of these colors. In addition, we like the lower portion of our look to match with the rest, but not be the stand-out. Unless we’re wearing one color and purposely chose a dynamic shoe that IS the major accessory!
Christian Louboutin designs some of the most beautiful shoe wear out there, as well as being known for his famous red bottoms! We chose this style of his as an excellent option for a number of reasons, as it accomplishes many things at once.
The stacked heel to start off with is a girl’s best friend. It keeps you elevated, but at a reasonable height, so as to not put too much pressure on your toes, while keeping your back supported by a layered, wide heel. This is a great combination if you’re searching for shoes for spring, with them also being open toe to show off your fabulous pedicure! We love the quality materials and versatility, as they look great with sundresses, as well as denim!
If you’re curious or just want to try them on, it’s their leather logo red sole mule sandal in cuoio, black and bianco.
Fun tip: They pack up great for holiday too, as they’re a compact, lightweight item for your carry on and really deliver on style!
Sunday brunch is a favorite of ours. It’s a way to celebrate the work week by rewarding yourself with a special meal with friends and / or family. We love outdoor brunch buffets in spring with all the assortments of salads, fruit, egg dishes, meat and seafood selections and then the dessert, which almost always includes fruit trays, beautiful layer cakes, chocolate parfaits and a gourmet cookie assortment. With enough food to feed an army, they continue to bring out fresh platters to refill the chafing dishes, never letting anything run low. Talk about service!
We appreciate the attention to detail and believe your food should look as good as it tastes. That’s why we LOVE these thoughtfully prepared, brunch-inspired, open-faced toast sandwiches! Ranging from sweet to savory, fruity to chocolate, they should have you covered! These delightful bites are perfect for a brunch at home, when the weather just doesn’t want to cooperate, and you don’t feel like getting out of your pajamas! With a glass of prosecco, or your favorite sparkling beverage, you’ll feel like you’re at the swankiest brunch spot in town!

We hope you enjoy your Sunday with something as beautiful as it is delicious!
In the blockbuster Christmas film, “The Polar Express,” they dedicate an entire scene to a very special hot chocolate. It’s served to the eager children on board this magical train, on it’s way to meet Santa Claus. It leaves an impression on your heart to witness the sheer delight on their faces, indulging in this hot freshly poured, comforting concoction.

Congratulations, you did it! You made it through the “holidaze”…the long lines, piles of wrapping paper, oodles of bows and enough tinsel to go to the moon and back…whew! So, we couldn’t let any more time go before we addressed the POST effects of the holidays and our 4th tip in our holiday shopping series!
With January marking one of the slowest months for retail sales, this can be a huge plus for you! Now if you’re already all shopped out, don’t dispair…it’s a fantastic opportunity to think about upcoming birthdays or events you’ll need a little gift for, and many of these amazing deals can be found online in the comfort of your own home. Last minute purchases add up and often end up costing us more than if we had planned ahead, trust us, we’ve SO been there! There are also better times to purchase certain items: winter wear is priced best towards the end of January, as are electronics, new automobiles and furniture! As for us, we started early with our Holiday sale this year and will go far and long to bring you high-end jewelry collections at savings of up to 85% off retail through February!
In addition, we will include a jewelry bag with each purchase to keep your items dust free and organized!
Stay posted for our 5th Holiday Shopping TIP coming next week!
This is UK designer Christopher Jenner‘s vision of how Eurostar should look and he feels the transport system is in desperate need of a makeover. Will this ever happen? Not likely, but it is a lovely vision as it is appointed in hardwood, brushed brass, yellow tufted and winged seats, with wide windows to watch the vistas from London to Paris. As the designer states “Traveling the line between the capital of cool and the capital of fashion, we wonder how this train is such a soulless design experience.This commission is a vision of a future we can all enjoy. With transport set to play an ever more pivotal role in the way we seek to improve our relationship with the planet, surely it should be tasty too?” I personally like that rather than choosing a totally futuristic look that he instead chose one with a hint…
