I agree

And there's no way I'm going to Pubs with out my Lashes.

Tocca's Newest Addition!

Tocca's Biggies...

... Now come in Mini's!

So you can change things up!

Set of three, $46 - 

love that packaging!

I just love pretty packaging and Georgie Beauty just stepped it up a notch with this beautiful packaging for their Wink's compacts.  Fun gifts for friends at $25 a compact and $12 refills.  

At home and in the shop...

First of all, can't help but share a picture of our boys last night.  Mr. Bumblebee and King Curtis:

I just got in a package from one of my favorite little companies, Bink and Boo!  More one-of-a-kind bibs and booties!

So in retail, Christmas has officially begun. I guess it has officially started at our house as well because my husband says that after Halloween we are now "allowed to watch Christmas Vacation". Yay.  I just couldn't help but share these cute bibs and booties that Bianca at Bink & Boo made for Christmas this year...

These booties + black tights on chubby legs = too cute!

Hangaween!

What to be for Halloween?!?  I have never procrastinated this long!  If all else fails I guess I will be a paparazzi (thanks, Brandi!) .  It kind of works out well for this weekend.  My celebrity radar is already turned on!

Babies!

Thomasville is being hit with a major baby boom this upcoming Spring (congratulations all you



mama's) and Lavish will be fully stocked for the little one's!  Swaddles, onesies, bath essentials,



bedding, and gifts... we have it all.  And a lot more coming!

I also have some cute Bink and Boo Booties and Bib's coming in for Christmas.  Adorbs!

Supper Club

I have some simple, fallish tablesetting ideas for your next dinner party.  I like going for the, "simply 

thrown together look" that I unfortunately worked all week putting together.  If only we had an herb 

and flower garden in the backyard that I could use for entertaining!  This top photo would be so much 

prettier with Provvista plates in my opinion, but I love the old piece of wood being used as a runner.  

Burlap and linen runners are relatively inexpensive and look beautiful indoors and outdoors. 

  

Here are two great recipes (Barefoot Contessa, of course) for entertaining.   You can never go wrong with the herbed goat cheese and basil chicken next time you have company.  Who doesn't like chicken?  And if you are a little burnt out on chicken (like moi), this one will be a pleasant surprise!  FYI, we can never seem to find the "bone out, skin on" chicken, but it still works just fine with the bone in.  You have to have the skin on it though, because the goat cheese and basil gets stuffed between the meat and the skin.   We typically pair it with green beans and a sweet potato.  

The second (which I plan to make for our next Supper Club) is Ina's Lentil and Sausage Soup.  Delish! It is hearty enough for the men and loaded with vegetables.  Crusty bread, hoppy beer, and Bon Apetite!

Comfort

I've been dealing with off and on allergies this fall and all I want is grilled cheese with tomato basil soup and a sleeping room like the one above.

The recipe for the tomato soup is easy, delicious and found right here.  

Will be back with some fall entertaining ideas and tried and true recipes!

Aventus & The Steward

Aventus, a new Creed fragrance for men (and adored by women), celebrates strength, power, vision and success. The Cologne is inspired by the dramatic life of a historic emperor who waged war, peace and romance on terms he set, riding on horseback to victory. Superb ingredients become in the hands of Olivier CREED the unrivaled Aventus, a worldly blend and must-have for the individual who savors a life well lived.  This is by far my new favorite cologne for men!
