White + Warren Travel Wraps
A cashmere wrap is one of my own travel necessities. I try to never leave home without one. It can be worn in endless ways, as a scarf, shawl, shrug, or blanket. It's large enough to keep you both covered on the plane. Perfect for chilly sea breezes, too.

Keep the romance going and bring your own candles. I think this is a prerequisite for any little getaway with someone you love. This French fragrance in the sensational silvered container features a mix of citron, sweet lime, orange, verbena and bergamot zest macerated in Eau de Vie, in the manner of the eau de Cologne that emerged in the early eighteenth century."

Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale: Fab Finds For Now & Later

I love a good sale, don't you? Nordstrom's Anniversary sale is one of the best. They take "new" Fall fashions for you, him, kids, and the home, and mark it down for a limited time (August 3rd). So instead of buying something on sale that has been hanging around since Spring, you are saving on things that are new and you can wear now and later. Here are some of my fave finds from every department.
