Spring it Home!
April 24, 2007
Since I’ve been shopping for new furniture and other home accessories, I thought I’d share some of the great websites I’ve found!
A few of these are a bit modern for my taste, but I searched and searched on them and found things I liked. So don’t be ‘put off’ if some sites, at first, don’t look like your style.
decor8 – it is a blog but with great shops listed in the city directory on the right hand side.
English Country Antiques – gorgeous things! a must see!
curbly – a design community where you can discuss tips, share great finds etc…
Citylivinghome.com - GREAT stuff here! a must see – again a little modern but cool
Greentea Design - Asian inspired goods
Delight.com - a fun sort of e-bayish type store
Zanisa – another environmentally friendly find! check out these wares!
OM home - fun accessories!
Branch – Eco-friendly!!!
Horchow – lovely love it

White Haute
April 24, 2007
We’re not surprised by this season’s follow-up to black nails…white polish. Chanel led the way, introducing Blanc Ceramic alongside the cult-fave Noir Ceramic at the end of ‘06.
There are lots of great white polishes out there (and by white, we mean pretty, shiny and sheer…not “I was bored at work and painted my nails with white-out”) including-
Lippmann Collection Amazing Grace (pure white) and
A Whiter Shade of Pale (translucent snowflake white-pictured)
OPI Fit for a Queensland (elegant white with pale iridescence)
What do you think…haute or not?
