Heart Throb


So i know that blues and green polishes are "so hot right now" but i have to admit, i am not sure how quickly i will be jumping onto that bandwagon... especially with my new discovery of the PERFECT PINK POLISH... yes you heard me... its PERFECT

Not too opaque and not too sheer, OPIs Heart Throb nail polish offers the perfect amount of coverage and is the most wonderful milky pink color . A little bit darker than the traditional go to "sweetheart" or "pinking of you" polishes, this pretty color is totally office acceptable and has a better, brighter hit of pink.

And so for now my seach has ended and the sweet, subtle and oh so stylish, Heart Throb has taken a permanent spot in my polish repertoire.

crescent shaped scrumptiousness


A girlfriend of mine let me in on a little secret... and now i am going to let in..

A little bakery down the road has been turning out the most buttery, flaky, beautiful croissants this side of the Eiffel tower. Worth waking up early for, these warm and mouthwatering pastries are sold out moments after they are out of oven. With two locations & two morning batches there is a nice window to get your paws on the hands down BEST croissants in the city and if you are nice you might just pick on up for a friend!

pearls of wisdom


Aside from being my birthstone pearls are a beautiful gem, organically produced within the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusk. Gradually, over time and with patience, what starts off as a small grain of sand begin to grow and blossom within the confines of their shell into the marvelous gems we see today

For centuries these wonders have been regarded as rare objects of beauty and the word pearl has become a metaphor for something special, rare, and wonderful. So i got to thinking about all of my pearls and how on a daily basis i come across the most wonderful things and just want to shout from the roof tops how fabulous they are ....And so the oysters pearl was born, more then just a place to rave about food, "the pearl" is a place i can share all my special things, loves and finds of all kinds.....
