a few MORE of my favorite things
This entry has been a long time coming, and I'll warn you, it won't be for the fashion-faint-of-heart. It WILL however be full of links and items that are making me smile lately, so for those of you who love shopping online (like I do), you should appreciate some of my findings. Why delay the fun any further?
As most of you know, I am a fan of everything Sephora, and Philosophy products fall under that category.
One of the best things about ordering from Sephora online is that you get to choose 3 free samples with every order, your way to try before you buy. When placing an online order recently, I decided to make one of my free sample choices Philosophy's "Present" Clear makeup.
Essentially, this serum serves as a makeup primer. You rub it in like moisturizer, wait 2 minutes, and then apply makeup as usual. The 2 days (which happened about 3 weeks apart) that I used the sample of Present, my boss commented about how 'stunning' my skin looked. It really does fulfill it's claim to 'give your face an airbrushed look.' My full tube is headed to my doorstep as we speak. (Plus, how can you resist the way that Philosophy packages their products? So understatedly clever and basic).
Next up, my boss and I have been spending a lot of time searching vintage fabrics online. We have been finding great duvet covers, blankets, handbags and throw pillows. I keep gravitating to anything paisley, or patterns that include queen anne's lace/vines. Loving these pillows from West Elm.
And you have to check out Boots and Toddi for some great duvet covers, rugs, etc...
If you're just looking for some unique accessories for your wardrobe or home, you may find it here.
And if you're looking for a secret home decor place on the web, maybe you'll love this site as much as I did. Don't forget to check out the Black Forest dinnerware. It's a little lonely, but like nothing I've ever seen.
Yesterday I stopped into a small boutique in downtown Traverse City called Euphoria. She had many eco-friendly and unique lotions, candles and accessories. (Plus, her website and print collateral are charming with a trendy edge). For those of you local girls, if you've walked past her shop a bunch of times and never stopped in (like I had), you really need to check it out. Very fun. While browsing I came across some unique jewelry that she carries from an artist named Dana Roth in Portland, Oregon. I was particularly taken with her Dictionary Definitions necklaces.
These necklaces come with several different definitions on them, and I particularly appreciated 'Character.' Also, I got a kick out of her beer can jewelry as well. Not my personal favorite, but what she's known for. Also, you'll be pleasantly surprised that about 50 retail locations across the country carry her products. Maybe one near you...
There, I think I've given you enough to chew on for awhile, plus, holding all of that in was almost too much sparkle to bear. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.
