THINGS I LOVE | august 2010
LOVE these pillowcases! I saw them in those super cute emails I get from www.houstontidbits.com (sign up to get them, it’s free) and went straight to the online store for red, the fantastic boutique (so tidbits tells me) in Fredericksburg, Texas. www.redinfred.com
It’s my bday month! I love the Hardy Klub. I get to sneak peek [...]

I am infatuated with Litill’s terrariums. There’s something magical about them! I tried to find a wonderful little definition on the web to explain a terrarium, but, well, it’s kind of vague. Which to me means they are so fantastical you can only see them in your head! Here’s a fabulous one you can order [...]
THINGS I LOVE | june 2010
I LOVED the long summer days when I was in school, when only finals and making it to the next grade mattered. Those long, lazy days that rolled one into the other consisting of the same things: eat, drink, sleep….repeat. Granted now I’m all grown up and no longer get summer breaks, but I still [...]

• I will never stop preaching to you about how fabulous it is to live in a city that is so GREEN. And, no, I don’t mean green as in the “save the world” green. Houston is so lush, and in the heart of the city! We are blessed to have such amazing facilities as [...]

Doesn’t matter how much yoga, Pilates, SPX or anything else I do, I still slouch. Virginia Redmond created Str8-n-up, a shoulder support accessory that slips over your shoulders comfortably. Try it while working at your computer. www.str8-n-up.com
Theoretically, the Potty Patch is a great idea. It looks prettier than the wee wee pads strewn around the house on [...]

I always forget a razor when I travel! Especially when I hit the beach – no bueno. Love these 6-bladed razors with built-in shaving cream in the handle. Diva for ladies and Titan for guys. www.shavemate.com
I love it when a hotel takes the experience to another level. It’s that kind of attention to detail that [...]

I am a package buyer; if it’s pretty I want it. Luckily for me, Hamarikyu Gardens perfume by MaryPierre for Anthropologie is not only pretty, it smells pretty darn good. It’ll be perfect for humid, sticky days. Sweet lemon, bergamot zest, verbena saffron, green roses, violet leaf, soft amber and creamy musk.
I love [...]
THINGS I LOVE | january 2010
I have a thing for thin glasses, BUT I’m kind of a klutz because I move way too fast. So you can see how thin, delicate, graceful glass and Carla do not mesh. Until now. Kuhl-Linscomb has the most beautifully simple glasses. I use them for milk to dunk my cookies in, for my morning [...]

By Carla Valencia de Martinez
I love everything about the last two months of the year. The decorations up all over town, the change in weather, all the parties/cocktails/gatherings with family and friends and all that entails. I love all the specialty items stocked in stores and markets and
shopping for them. My trunk is usually stocked [...]
THINGS I LOVE | november 2009
I am forever in love with all things Kiehl’s, and just when I think it can’t get better … it does. Their Classic Crème de Corps holiday collection partners with internationally renowned New York artist KAWS with a limited edition label where 100% of net profits from each sale will be donated to children’s charities [...]
