L'Occitane on QVC

A poll: How much $
Confession time: I bought a pair of gray suede Chanel "hiking" (hahaha) boots at the Saks Off 5th outlet the other day. (See/mock them at www.cofarb.com/chanelshoes1.jpg) The original tagged price was an incredibly obscene $644. The shoes are re

Buttons on a jacket done right?
Recently I had this jacket's button resewn because I could see that the thread was loose and I was worried I would lose one of them. So I take it to my dry cleaners and I told them specifically that they should not sew the button tight to the fabric.

What I bought this weekend with your help

What I bought at the Lilly Pulitzer sale

Gel eye makeup remover?
Eons ago, I used to use the Lancome eye makeup remover. It was a gel consistency, which I found easy to use. Unfortunately that went to a liquid form which I don't like as well. I like being able to squirt a blob of remover onto my finger and massag

First Sephora Trip
Holy cow... I have never seen so many females in one store at the same time. What a sight to see! And what was funnier was the bunch of men were standing outside the store leaning up against the mall railings. I stayed for a bout 30 minutes, just walk

OT: Google is at it again!
