The World's Greatest bath bombs are back!

So, a lot of you were lucky enough to get one of these awesome Splash bath bombs back in December. We ran out of them, and weren't able to get more until now. Come in to try:

• Island Fever - Vanilla, but not as average as that sounds...this one is the best!


• Mint - Great for sore muscles!


• Aphrodisiac - Jasmine, lavender, and clary sage.
  
  

We also got the new buttercups, which are mostly cocoa butter, and make my skin almost as soft as my toddler's. My favorite is Life's a Beach which is coconut and lemongrass. Shannon's (my husband) tried the Manchu Mandarin last night and loved it!

New House Blessings from Dogeared

How cute are these? The wishbone is a Kitchen Blessing:

Make a wish and hang this kitchen blessing. wish for all the wonderful
things to come: from delicious meals to the burnt-to-a-crisp ones, may your
kitchen be a place for your loved ones to laugh, grow, create,learn and
love!

The bee is for new home owners:

Hang this house blessing in your home and make a wish. may your new home be your sanctuary; a place of love, rest, creation and rejuvenation. let your house blessing be a daily reminder to live, love and laugh!

We also got a shipment of their very popular Make - a - Wish necklaces with the wishbone charms. Since they were so popular, we got them in gold as well as the original silver.

Outfit of the day

Today's outfit is a cute top by Paramita and a basic denim skirt from !It jeans. Perfect outfit for lunch with friends, or our favorite pass time...shopping! Looks cute with Deborah Evans Crystal Havaianas in black.

To top it off try Gin Bartlett's open heart necklace in gold or silver, or both for a fun layered look.

Rebecca Ellis Wall Crosses

A large shipment of Rebecca Ellis wall crosses came in today. They are handmade from wire and various stones, beads and crystals. My favorite is the Deluxe Rock Cross (pictured) it is 11" tall and is made from large multi colored unpolished rocks. We received several different ones, including the best selling 'Wedding Rings' and they are all up on the website if you want to check them out.

Outfit of the day

Our Outfit of the day is a Sweet Pea Tank and skirt! The tank is $42 and the skirt is $93. We accessorized it with 'the Coco' necklace from Gin Bartlett's spring collection. We think the perfect shoe to go with it is the new Reese Slide from Frye Boots. Come in and try it on, we're sure you'll love it too!

Crystal Cross Candles

We received the most beautiful candles. They came in white, cream, green, yellow, ruby, grey and brown. They are heavily scented, and definitely don't need to be burned to be enjoyed. They are embellished with swarovski crystals. The smaller pillar (pictured) is $48. They make excellent housewarming gifts!

Gin Bartlett's Be True Jewelry Spring Collection has arrived...

Gin dropped by with her new Spring line from her Be True Collection last night, and it is stunning! She brought us a ton of beautiful fine silver pieces and as requested tons of cute earrings! We have the new hammered hearts that will be seen on The Bachelor in April. We have both the gold and silver versions. The new silver bar named "the Shannon" after my wonderful husband is a must have. We also snatched up "the Coco" which is a chic brown agate piece on gold chain to spice up your spring wardrobe. The only other store that had one of these sold it to Courteney Cox's stylist. Courteney was spotted wearing the piece in Ok! Magazine.
Since I'm typing this after one very large glass of wine from my newly opened neighbor the Corkscrew Wine and Coffee Bar, I'm way too lazy to post more images. So be sure to stop by soon to see the rest of the beautiful jewelry, as usual she's out done herself!


The new fine silver "O" collection is pictured on the model top left and is priced from $52 - 78

Ladies' Night at Rodeo Houston

Tonight I'll be out with a few of my best friends (over 500 of them) for ladies' night at Rodeo Houston. Most of my friends from L.I.P.S. (Ladies Into Purchasing Stock) will be there. If you haven't heard of this wonderful group of which I am a proud member, here is their purpose statement from their website:

"Ladies Into Purchasing Stock ("LIPS") was born in 1992 by a group of women desiring to become more involved in the life of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo™ ("HLSR"). Their purpose was right in step with that of HLSR, supporting the youth of Texas in their agricultural and artistic endeavors. Not every child can win Grand Champion, but LIPS' purpose was to make every child feel as if they were. Since attending their first auction in 1993 with $2,000 and a very big heart, LIPS has grown to a membership of 100 ladies and has raised approximately half a million dollars to support the educations of young people in the Great State of Texas. Today, these ladies are hard working, active members of 30 different HLSR™ committees as well as moms, professionals and community volunteers."

Should you care to join us in supporting these hard-working youths, visit http://www.texaslips.com/ for more information.

Wood Wick Reed Diffusers have arrived

For those of you that have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of our spring Wood Wick Collection, your wait is (finally) over. We have gotten many of the new scents including: Citrus Vanilla, Redwood, Strawberry Slices, Zinfandel, Mojito and Sunset Beach. The diffusers are beautiful! In fact we already are sold out of the Aqua fragrance in both candles and diffusers. Don't worry, I already ordered more!

Miss Me Cropped Pants

The new Miss Me Jean Cropped Pants are going fast. It's probably the most popular item we go in the new shipment on Tuesday. The jeans are a close second, and the dress is getting tried on a lot. I'm not sure how much we'll have left for the weekend.

My favorite thing right now...

Frye shoes! Oh wow! Anyone out there that's a size 8 better hurry if they like any of the the new Frye shoes we just got in. I am trying really hard to show some restraint (no I don't need everything that comes in!) but these shoes are perfect. Those of you who know me, know I have some what of a "shoe problem". I haven't actually worn heels in a while.I gave them up to protect my unborn child; I was pregnant (some twenty-one months ago) and very clumsy. While I'm still not the most graceful person on the planet, at least now I won't be putting my gorgeous son, who's now officially too heavy to be carried everywhere, in any precarious position if I indulge in these beautiful wedges. So, if my favorite pair is still there on Saturday afternoon, they're mine.
