Favorite Fifteen
Last week, Jennifer, from The Pink Pagoda, tagged me to share fifteen of my favorite things. I wanted to share some things that I use on a regular basis. I'll be curious to know if you are familiar with any of these.
1. I have been wearing Chanel No. 5 for more than two decades.
2. Does Starbucks need an explanation?
3. Moroccan Smooth is an amazing styling cream that will give you a smooth blow out.
4. My iPad functions as a laptop with this keyboard.
5. I could not manage a blow out without these salon style clips to hold my hair back in sections.
6. I know most of you are enjoying Fall, but I am still living in these shorts.
7. Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries and almonds is probably the healthiest part of my day.
8. My favorite part of going to bed is enjoying my super soft sheets. Great sheets are an investment that get better with age. I try to buy a thread-count of 400.
9. This is my favorite blush and sometimes I use it on my eyelids.
10. I love this popcorn. I usually snack on it while I drink number 11.
11. If you are a red wine lover, then you really must try this Cabernet.
12. Do you have a favorite style of shoe? Currently, mine is black flats and this is my newest addition. They are so comfortable.
13. These readers live on my head. I can't read a thing without them.
14. Funny cocktail napkins are a must. I like to give them and to have them around.
15. I still love my iPhone case. It's also fun to tell people that I know the designer :).
Now I would love to hear about Mary Ann's favorites, so I am tagging Classic * Casual * Home. I love her home and style.
Nordstrom Home
Have you seen the home section of Nordstom?! I just had to share my coastal favorites. Many of them are on sale, so they won't last long.
Shopping Antiques & Restaurant Review
Whenever I have some extra time on my hands, I pop into a new store....for research purposes :). I was so happy to find Treasure Island Antiques. Of course I am not exactly in the market for anything at the moment, but that usually doesn't stop me.
Bone inlay chairs...to die for.
A brass cube that shined like glass.
Brass dragons.
Love the lines of these chairs.
These lucite brackets would look amazing on a wall with blue and white ginger jars on them.
Someone come get these....fast!
A Restaurant Review
I had the pleasure of meeting some new friends the other day for coffee. Both of them could not say enough great things about The Cider Press Cafe. It's a gluten free, vegan and raw food restaurant. I decided to take my daughter with me since the men in this house can be less adventurous when it comes to food.
One of the owners (Rowland) greeted us and politely explained the raw food concept. We shared the Florida Roll and Coconut Spring Rolls (not pictured) for starters.
If you have never had raw vegan food (this was our first time) I would highly recommend giving it a try. Since nothing is cooked, the flavors really come alive. We could not believe that this was not real tuna inside this roll. The Spring Rolls were equally as delicious.
For our main courses we enjoyed the Garden Lasagna.
And the Three Amigos.
Our only regret is that we did not save room for dessert. We can't wait to go back and next time, we would definitely bring the boys.
On Thursday, I am trying a new hair stylist....that's always fun :o.
