Good morning, Friday...it's been a bad week for me in terms of going to the gym but oh sooooo good when it comes to work...got a lot done and was happy to do it. I thought I'd share some of my new favorite things today and give a shout out to five products and services I'm hearting on right now.
Here they are, in no particular order:
Laura Mercier Eau de Toilette Crème De Pistache- I admit it- I like to smell like food, sweet food in particular. Dessert if you will. I discovered this perfume on a walk through the neighborhood the other day and was immediately smitten. It makes you smell like ice cream. I love it- it's sweet but not cloying once it settles and is a nice alternative to my typical vanilla tinged scents.
Facials at Tres Belle at 105 Bond Street, Brooklyn- This facial spot in my neighborhood is worth a subway ride, kids. The facialist there was thorough beyond belief, the extractions hurt so good, and my skin was literally glowy glowy when I left..excellent service, great products, and prices are fair for what they offer. LOVE THIS PLACE. http://www.tresbellespa.com/
Kilim touches- now that I'm all over Pinterest (perfect for insomniacs), I've discoverd my love for Kilim fabric- on everything from pillows to rugs to jackets- the "heritage" look in fashion is big a la Pendleton and Navajo inspirations, and I myself am feeling a bit drawn to Moroccan and Native American touches for the home.
Trader Joe's Cioppino Soup- if you have not tried this frozen miracle, do. It's so easy to make, healthy, and delicious- full of tomato based goodness and lots of seafood. You really could serve this as a meal and pretend you made it from scratch- it's fab for real.
Adidas Slvr sneakers- loving this line of high end Adidas now that I have joined the sneakerhead club. I scored a super cool pair of leather high tops (mens) from the store in Soho, who last weekend was having an 85% off sale on EVERYTHING. Love. It's a great line, and they do both mens and women's styles.
In terms of things I want to do this weekend, I have to see a few films (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is at the top of the list), come up with some ideas for some pieces I'm writing, have dinner with my best gay and his new bf, and go to Philadelphia and take my mom to Best Buy...other than that, I'm looking forward to hanging around the neighborhood and relaxing...just wanted to share some of my new favorite things with you- hope to do this more often so let me know if there's anything you'd like to see me talk about...hope you all have a great weekend...big kiss. XO
(Oh and as a bonus, check out the offerings at Callalilai- I was afraid of this store as skewing too art teacher chic but honestly they have some great buys on super comfy clothes that are a nice respite from tight tight tight clothes- very loose and flowy and comfy. Oh and the prices are fantastic...)
