Stylishly Understated


For those that were around to read The Official Preppy Handbook when it was originally published in 1980; you know that these shoes were considered 'the tennis shoe of choice' (TOPH p. 139) now they are just a cool alternative to those other canvas, rubber toe shoes that seem to have taken over feet everywhere. Available on-line or in their new retail store located on Spring Street in New York City's SoHo district.

Moisture



I know what you are thinking; not another expensive body lotion.

(MALIN+GOETZ) b5 body moisturizer is oil-free and residue-free. It does what the label says it will do and it makes your skin feel wonderful all day long. I say it is the real deal.

Founded in 2004 in New York City's Chelsea district; the company creates cleansers, hair product and moisturizers that are made 'without unnecessary detergents, colorants and synthetic fragrances.'

(MALIN+GOETZ) does not test on animals and is made in the USA.

Go to here to see what other treats they have in store for you.

What. Ever.

You must all search your listings and to find out when Whatever, Martha! is on in your area.

This show originated as a 2-hour talk show on Martha Stewart Sirius satellite radio and is now a 30-minute show on Fine LIving Network that you can watch several times a day.

Martha's daughter and the daughter of the Chairperson of MSLO spend a half hour "critiquing clips from the show using candid and often acerbic language." It is hilarious.

Watch it. You just might learn something.

Just like Cleopatra had


Walking through Target last weekend I noticed these little gems hanging on the end cap. I picked one up in Dark Brown and it is my new favorite thing for lining my eyes. It goes on surprisingly smoothly, stays on all day and comes off with a bit of your favorite eye make-up remover.
