Valentine loves

Posted by Liza on Feb 7, 2011 in Fashion, Food & Entertaining, Gifts

Valentine's Day. What's not to love? Even though it falls on Monday this year, we will all eat a little too much chocolate, indulge in some guilty pleasure and feel all the better for it. One of our favorite things to do every year is assemble some of our favorite Valentine picks, with the hope that they will inspire you to find that perfect something for that perfect person. If you decide to make a card or a special meal, we know it will be made from pure love. But if you're like most of us and looking for something to buy, here are some ideas to consider...

Our favorite boots for fall 2010.

Posted by Liza on Oct 7, 2010 in Fashion

Elizabeth and I are having a love affair with boots this year. It’s not that we don’t every year, it’s just that the sheer abundance of fabulous boots this year has us wondering just how many pairs we need! It’s hard to pare down to just a few, but here are my favorites and then Elizabeth rounds out the post with her faves as well. You know we have about 100 more that...

Seashells…They Are Everywhere

Posted by Liza on Jun 13, 2010 in Fashion, Home & Decor

I know. It’s summer so there are supposed to be seashells everywhere to summer-ize your decor. But over the past year, there has been a stronger than previous focus on sealife in home decor and it’s even crossed over onto the fashion plate. I’ve said it before, but every room can use a nod to the sea. Just a little something. www.etsy.com/shop/ShellScapes Local Artist...

You Smell…..So Nice

Posted by Liza on May 9, 2010 in Health & Beauty

I must admit one of my biggest fears: smelling bad. With the water shortage that Nashville has just witnessed, that fear became a little stronger. I washed my hair last Tuesday morning in Virginia and held off to wash again until Friday morning here in Nashville….and that was SO HARD. But, considering what I could have been dealing with, I figured the water was needed for others much...

Gwyneth Paltrow, my new best friend.

Posted by Liza on Apr 1, 2010 in Fashion

OK- So I’m standing in line at The Produce Place several weeks ago. I kept thinking that the girl looking at oranges looked familiar. Then it hit me. It was her. My style goddess. If I had to pick three celebrities who I would love to raid their closets (and have a magic wand that immediately switched everything to my size) they would be Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and the...

Cindy Wall Tells of a Very Necessary Accessory

Posted by Liza on Mar 18, 2010 in Fashion

There’s no color in my closet, and I like it that way. Black, white, beige, gray, some occasional navy. That’s my palette. But I’ve got a drawer full of scarves that’s an entirely different story. Wild hues. Crazy prints. Fancy French silks, hand-woven cottons, and some excellent synthetics not found in nature. There’s no better, more multi-purpose, more...

Posted by Elizabeth on Jan 25, 2010 in Fashion, Happenings, Health & Beauty

Both Woo and The Perfect Pair have us overly excited this week. You need to hit both places before the predicted ICE storm/rain hits Middle Tennessee on Thursday night. First, why you need to go to Woo: Elizabeth Talking: I don’t know about you but this winter has wreaked havoc on my face and hands. As the temperatures dropped below 10 degrees, my reptilian hands continued to morph into...
