Spring Things

 

Via: Tiffany LaBelle 

 

It's finally here! This has been the longest winter ever. But it's time to step into spring with anticipation of warmer days ahead. Of course Paris in the Springtime is special, but I thought of a few more of life's pleasantries that are beautiful about spring. Scroll down for a breath of springtime!

 

Gardening 

 I do love that act of caring for, growing, and eating my own veggies.  These Purple Tomatoes are from Roberta's Gardens on QVC. I have not purchased these, but I have the hostas. They grew like weeds. I would highly recommend ordering anything from Roberta's. They say "planting a garden is believing in tomorrow."    

 

 

Sunset Sips 

I cannot wait for the first warm evening to have a sunset cocktail on the terrace or patio. It's a ritual here.  Mario Lucca Giusti creates the chicest acrylic glassware. Bloomingdale's has them on sale for 25% off right now. Cheers to spring!

 

 

Sleeping With The Windows Open 

Isn't that just the best for sleeping? Fresh air always promotes a good night's sleep, and so does The Laundress Beauty Sleep.  The collection helps to make rest a ritual. Every product infuses your sheets and sleepwear with the most relaxing scent. It features notes of lavender, jasmine, and more. It's an indulgence for sure, but what price beauty?

 The Perfect Spring Candle

 As we usher in spring, refreshing our home and our senses seems all the sweeter. Here are 4 candles that will lift your spirits and scent your world.

 

1. Top Left Diptyque Fleur De Cerisier

(Cherry Blossom) The best candle I ever had was from Diptyque .This one is Springtime in wax. The scent of cherry blossoms.

 2. Michael Aram Lemonwood Candle. My vote for the prettiest candle ever. The scent is a mix of herbs, citrus, and grasses. But best of all they all are 25% off right now.

3. Quince:  Peony Dusk Candle. One of my favorite flowers always smells good, but especially at dusk.  Created by a renown pefumer, and is only $24. I like the simple glass container.

Flamingo Estate: Heirloom Tomato. This candle has a scent exactly like an heirloom tomato. I feel that you get your money's worth with this one.

 

Add Some Color To Our Wardrobe

I have to be honest. I am never giving up my black clothing, but adding a bright pop of color does feel happy. Chartreuse and yellow are the perfect way to add the color. Veronica Beard has some great pieces.

Spring Salads

Saturdays At Shop This

In anticipation of tomorrow's Oscars, this week's color theme is black and gold. One of my favorite color pairings. Will you watch the awards? I wouldn't miss it, even though I haven't seen a single movie. Started Sinners though. It looks promising. Before we all get too busy, please enjoy this week's wrap up of fab finds, articles and stylish sales.

 

I just love a chic evening bag. A gold one will go with almost anything. With it's lady-like handels, I would consider wearing this for daytime, with a blazer or dress with gold buttons. The Maxine Bag is designed by Cult Gaia.

 

 With Easter and Passover around the corner, many of us will be setting a pretty table. I found these Hammered Gold Napkin Rings for a steal at World Market. Get a set of two for $3.96!

 

 

 

Zimmermann is such a beautiful line  This gown is theirs. You will see even more gold in their Fall RTW Collection. It's all gorgeous.

How to make a pony tail look really important. It's with the help of Jennifer Behr.

Do you know what color goes best with a tan? Gold! I am blown away with the beautiful Kopari Sunveil Collection. It's new this year, and offers your face and body that lit from within look. Most importantly the face elixer, self tanner, and glowy powder all offer Mineral Sunscreen and luminosity. I think it is a must try.

 

 

Craving Asian? Elevate your take out with these Gold Chopsticks. They make a haute host gift, too. Shop them at CB2

 

I love Peter Thomas Roth's 24K Gold Mask It feels as luxurious as it looks.  It firms and lifts the skin. I always saw a positive effect after I rinsed it off. Well, if you want to give it a try, QVC has the best buy on it. Normally $85. It's on sale for $39.98 and ships for free!
