This Valentine’s Day let the love of your life wake up and smell the coffee with breakfast in bed. Mid day, treat him or her to some R&R, try the Daylesford Organic Hay Barn, their very own spa with an array of beauty treatments, yoga, and pilates.

Can’t figure out what to give her? Give a body cream that smells like dessert, Laura Mercier’s Crème Brule Trio - Ooo La La! Also, every woman loves lingerie, why not indulge her with a pair of knickers or a romantic candle from one of my favorite brands Agent Provocateur.

What about him?

Goodbye Scruff! Let him master the Art of Shaving with this handy little kit and why not include a luxurious unscented shaving cream!

For both of you: What about this delicious idea and go to a chocolate tasting!

Hello All!

Just wanted to fill you in on what I’ve been up to lately. I have decided that every Friday I will introduce to you lovely readers the

‘Boutique of the Week’

I will be searching the streets of London, surfing the internet, and using my fashion correspondents in New York, LA, and Paris in order to find the most chic boutiques. I hope that you will get the chance to visit these stores if you live near by or if your travels may take you to these destinations! This is something I am very excited about and I hope you are also.

Have a fabulous Friday!

The fantastic logo above was created by my talented and dear friend Elizabeth Cronin. She is going to be helping me create logos and graphics that are très chic for the blog. More information to come about Elizabeth and her work… so keep checking back!

There is something about vintage posters and photographs that I love. Though I am not exactly sure what it is. They are classic, creative, and it interests me to see images that have been captured in an era that I was not part of. Vintage posters are truly original and simple advertisements, unlike the complex graphics that are presented to us these days.

I must be on a Sex and the City kick or something because I cannot stop looking at pictures from the filming of the movie. Rumor has it March is the release date. On February 22, it will be four years since the show aired its final episode.

The hot water bottle I own and wrote about in one of my first posts was mentioned in Grazia Magazine this week (January 28 issue). It has some wise words of advice. ” Sauvignon Blanc + boiling kettles = third degree burns”. I also, do not suggest using a hot water bottle while drinking, but I am sure most if not all of you probably knew that already!

Pu-erh is an herbal tea that apparently helps reduce cholesterol and digest fatty foods. Victoria Beckham has recently admitted to using it as a secret to her slim figure. I read a review about the tea and I have to say that I am not completely convinced. See for yourself, but hey, if its good enough for Posh, it must work….right?!?

As a Christmas stocking stuffer, my British beau gave me a heart warmer. It’s a hot water bottle as they call it here in England. I am not sure what we call it in America, since I have never used one before. All you have to do is boil some water, fill the bottle up, carefully tighten the lid, and voila! Instant relaxation. You can warm your chest, back, neck, and (anything else you want!). I spent all night carrying it around the house with me, but I personally prefer cuddling with it in bed. I was surprised to find out that the bottle, which is made out of rubber, stays warm for well over an hour.
Added bonus: It comes with accessories. Mine (pictured above) has an adorable red knitted cover with a white heart on it. I searched the internet and found all sorts of covers such as leopard print and faux fur.
I highly recommend this little bundle of joy!
