Pink sunglasses: la vie en rose
Rose-colored glasses. Cliché? Or awesome fashion statement? I'm going to go with awesome. I saw these pink Oscar Magnuson sunglasses in Lucky Mag this month and was like...ooh, could I pull those off? The truth is, this kind of pink looks great on any complexion, and...

A beautiful scarf to do beautiful things for mothers. Not just the ones who wear it.
It was only 6 months ago that I first discovered the wonderful FashionABLE (now ABLE) scarves on a humanitarian trip to Ethiopia, and fell in love with their process--and of course their gorgeous scarves--which are doing a world of good for women and mothers in great...

Trip the nightlight fantastic
I have a small house. Which seems like an irrelevant thing to mention when I'm about to tell you about a beautiful nightlight. But a small house equals much shared space. And when you share space and want to light it for your kids in the middle of the night, maybe a...
Some walls like to be drawn on.
There's something about wallpaper that feels like more of a commitment than paint. Maybe it's the glue. Maybe it's the hours of labor spent lining it up juuuust right. But I think I've found a cute wallpaper idea that might be worth the investment. The new i see...
