Laduree is known for their macarons...How fortunate.  I happen to love them love looking at them.  I do not by nature croon for macarons.  But I have become quite fond of them none the less.

If you haven't noticed, I have been away for a while.  So I thought a personalized letter from the 42nd President of the United States would be a good ice breaker...

Are you cold?  Then why not throw a throw around your neck? Perfectly normal.  Actually this was a funny concept that thread through the shop last year.  Two of our linen companies made a throw that was also a wrap.  Cashmere or wool anyone?  And let me say, the ladies had a hard time wrapping their heads around this one!

Would you like to know how my relationship with Tom Ford started?  You might think the first thing that binds us is that we are both Parsons alums...but you would be wrong because we go back much further than that!  

I can't wait to get my wrist into one of these.  I read about this company, or should I say cause, over the weekend, and immediately knew I needed to share.  No need to guess the origin of this lovely piece of jewelry, as it is quite obvious...but, can you guess where the material came from?  Will the name of the company help?

I just cannot help myself.  Although, I consider myself a lifelong fan of one of our Superbowl teams this week (that timeline should give it away), all the hoopla, the lead up and anticipation for THE BIG GAME has just made me want to is revisit this video...

Winter?  Did I say winter?  There's no winter here.

This is dedicated to Brenda.  Because every time she visits the desert she stays at The Parker.  And because she is currently in New York, thinking about not being in New York.  Me on the other hand...

Are there any Marc Jacobs fans out there?  What about Target fans?  If you are fans of both, either or neither, you will still want to know that these metallic clutches from Marc Jacobs for Target are literally right on target.

As much as I try to be hip about it, doing my best to agree with those who say they’ve gone way too far and they just don’t really matter anymore…that our fascination with celebrity is so unsophisticated and shallow…I cannot deny...The countdown to the Oscars has begun!
