A Fashionable Fire Hose

Browsing the magazine aisle yesterday I came across this Vogue cover and it stopped me straight in my tracks! To be honest most covers blend right into the next but not this one. It is stunning. Perfectly clean, crisp and elegant. I will even say, fresh!! The tone of green they have chosen quietly yells spring!





Take a close look at her red belt. Fashionable? YES. Unique? YES. Green? YES!! It is a recycled fire hose, scrubbed down of all soot and made into a slim, beautiful belt. I love this idea! Natural Collection, a UK company collected hoses from London firehouses and 50% of the profits from the belts go back to the LFB Benevolent Fund. Even better. There is one special firefighter in my family....not sure if he will like the picture of Cameron Diaz or the idea of a fire hose belt better. Though I think I might know the answer!

Just a little something...

....for the special Irish Gal in your life!!





The designer of the Laughing Dog Studio takes inspiration from nature and the sea to create her gorgeous jewelry pieces. As a former visual merchandiser, I absolutely love how she stages her goods out in nature. The photos displaying her pieces give a sense of serenity and highlights the natural color of each gem! Affordable and a great gift, just perfect!!

Just a touch of Green

The perfect soothing bedroom with a sweet punch of green! Just perfect for our St.Patrick's Day post!

All about the Green

It is a very special night here in Boston as the Celtics are playing their home opener game. Last year was inspiring as the basketball team went from last place the previous year, to winning the NBA Championship this past season! For years I have been a faithful fan so to honor my team I wanted to share with you a few green paint hues which are truly Winners!!
