What makes Origins skincare so uniquely powerful?

Their mission at Origins is to create high-performance natural skincare that is powered by nature and proven by science. They use potent plants, organic ingredients and 100% natural essential oils. And their long-standing commitment to protect the planet, its resources and all those who populate it is reaffirmed by our earth and animal friendly practices, packaging and policies.

Higher levels of pollution have substantially increased our potential for skin damage – and aging. No worries. Their multi-action age defenders with rare Silver Tip White Tea surround skin in a virtually impenetrable protective bubble that intercepts damage before it causes lines, wrinkles, dark spots and loss of firmness.

Teacher Gifts!

18 Jun

It is that time of year… time to end the school year and thank your teacher for all that they did for your child! Generally the classroom parent collects some money and puts a gift together.  I still like to throw something small together myself from my daughters to give our own thanks.  This can be a creative thank you present, or it can just be a small present with a nice note attached.

I wasn’t sure what I was going to do this year yet…. until I visited the mall and walked up to Yankee Candle.  Did you know that they are having a HUGE sale right now?? It goes through the month of June, so you totally have time.  But, this is THE sale to just go in and stack up on everything!! BUY IT and put it away because candles make really great gifts for almost ANY occasion!

Teacher gift, bus driver gift, thanks-for-having-me-over gift, house warming gift, birthday gift… Seriously, almost anything! Plus, you have to treat yourself to one!

These are all HALF PRICE!!!!!

A Whale Of A Tale: a history of vineyard vines

From ties to a total lifestyle brand – the story of vineyard vines epitomizes the American Dream. In 1998, brothers Shep & Ian Murray quit their jobs in NYC, retired their suits, and returned to the place of their favorite childhood memories, Martha’s Vineyard, to start their own business of fun. That summer, Shep & Ian sold ties under the aptly named label – vineyard vines. Their quirky, imaginative ties sold out in one week. Today, vineyard vines has spread their whale fin to encompass women’s and men’s clothing, swim wear, flip flops, accessories, and more!

Quality fabrics, playful prints, fine construction, and a vast spectrum of colors.

Capture the vivid, exhilarating spirit of Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, Meneshma, and Gay Head in vineyard vines today!

Happy Shopping!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!

Savvy Father’s Day Gift Ideas!

13 Jun

A very popular Father’s Day Gift can be to treat Dad to a new tie. Which got me thinking about how to step it up a notch… Does your Dad happen to travel a lot? If he does, then this might be the perfect gift!

How neat would it be to buy this Leather Tie Case from Brooks Brothers and to have a tie inside?

leather tie case

Calfskin leather. Removable button snaps. Holds two ties. Signature Golden Fleece® lining. 15 ¾” x 5 ¾”. Imported. Comes in Black or Brown for $148.

Another smart gift idea from Brooks Brothers are the adjustable stainless steel collar stays for $30.

collar stay

Collar stays made from stainless steel adjust to four different positions: 2″, 2 5/16″, 2 9/16″ and 2 7/8″. Set includes three pairs. Offered in a portable Brooks Brothers carrying case. Imported.

Speaking of ties, wouldn’t it be nice to help Dad keep his ties neat and organized? Make hectic mornings less stressful with the Brookstone motorized tie rack! $39.99

tie rack

Mounts to virtually any closet rod.

  • Holds up to 54 ties and 4 belts
  • Rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise
  • Built-in light
  • Uses 4 C batteries (not included)

The easy way to access and organize your ties.
Our compact, motorized rack is the perfect solution for keeping ties neat, organized—and very easy to access. The space-saving unit mounts quickly to virtually any closet rod and holds up to 54 ties and 4 belts.

Instantly find the perfect tie or belt.
Just press a button and the rack rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise, bringing any tie within easy reach. A built-in light helps you pick out colors in a dark closet—and even turns on and off automatically.

Another clever gift idea I discovered at Brookstone is the car butler hanger. I know my husband likes to take his suit coat off in the car, so this would make a neat gift for him! Perfect for Dad’s who are on the road a lot for work!

Car Butler Wood Hanger

Hang your jacket up in the car, keeping the jacket clean and wrinkle free!

wood hanger

Real wood hanger simply attaches to your vehicle’s headrest.
Hang up a heavy winter coat or your suit jacket. Keeps your clothing looking sharp and wrinkle-free while you drive. Fits standard removable headrest supports with diameters of 5/8 inch (16 mm) or less. Hanger is 17 3/4 inches wide.

This convenient gift idea is one Dad could really appreciate this summer!

I was just LOVIN all the HOT Summer Items!

Plenty of floppy beach hats!

Even the little girls in your life can look adorable!

This skirt from the GAP is a MUST! Drawstring ties at elasticized waistband. Linen and cotton skirt is $26.95 at Gap Kids. Pair it with a red tank top to finish the look!

Usher in the season of sunshine than by rocking stripes and anchors.

These striped shorts from the Gap look super comfy while still be stylish!

Get ready to drop anchor for this so-fun trend! Check out this great striped tee shirt from J Crew!

A soft stripe top that never goes out of style and drapes just perfectly, finished with an anchor patch at the chest. The silhouette is a new one, and it’s already a favorite—straight, with lean elbow sleeves worn rolled (but you can do as you please).

What are your thoughts on nautical style?

I’m totally on board with this sporty and fun trend!

Anchors Away!

Summer Getaway Essentials!

9 Jun

Planning a weekend away this Summer? I don’t know about you, but I always pack too much and never the right stuff! However, it is my goal to change that about myself and become very efficient and still look FAB!

Obviously you know the essentials you need to take care of yourself… such as, tooth paste, tooth brush, deodorant, hair products, make-up, face wash, sunblock etc…

But do you have the perfect carrier for all of it?? Check out this gem from Vera Bradley!

vb hanging organizer

It’s easy to get the “hang” of looking good (and staying neat) with this accessory. Lotions, powders and sprays all have a home here, thanks to the roomy, gusseted bottom pocket. It’s ideal for slipping things into your suitcase or hanging it near the vanity.

Here is a look at the inside:vb hanging

Not too bad at $58! Think about how useful it is! Could make a really fantastic gift idea! Perhaps for a GRAD??

But what about packing the right clothes??

Bathing suit, cute cover-up, beach tote, beach hat, sunglasses!

I’ve shown you this tote before, but I just think it is so adorable! Vera Bradley has the Seashore tote offered in such perfect  for summer colors!

vb tote

Their lightest, easiest-to-pack tote yet, this roomy bag goes from beach to boardwalk with style. Each solid-colored tote features one of five whimsical sea-inspired designs – a Plum Crazy crab, a Tutti Frutti fish, a Sun Valley turtle, a Lilli Bell whale or a Marina Paisley anchor.  Your hardest decision is picking which embellishment you want!

The anchor and crab are super cute as well!

crab

Another great gift idea or perfect treat to yourself!  $65

(they have matching flip flops too!)

You definitely need a cool hat…  Lucky had some good ones!

IMG_2357

IMG_2358

Banana Republic also offers the whole beach package!

IMG_1682

I love the idea of this dress from the Limited as a cover-up for a Bandeau type bathing suit! It would transition perfectly to an after the beach type bar! OR, it would be perfect for a hot summer day into night out look!  Pair with flip flops (or cute flat sandals) and a floppy hat during the day and transition to heels or wedges plus layer on all your bangles and accessories for a red hot night out look!

IMG_1679

So many stores, so little time!

I think the key is to pack one hat that can work for the entire weekend.  Try to find clothing options that are versatile! Never forget options to keep you warm… unless you are looking for an excuse to go shopping! HAHA, oldest trick in the book is to conveniently forget a cardigan or jacket… Oopsies… “Honey, I’ll just be a minute…”

Haha!

Happy Shopping!
