Today’s Monday round-up has some great ideas. Fall is the perfect time to give our homes a closer look and maybe freshen them up with something new or recovered. And you do not have to hire a designer. As the fashion arena and home décor continue to meld, we found a great source for decorating ideas:

Lucy actually started using this trick a few years ago. At first it seem that it doesn’t make sense to use water with expensive face and eye creams. And yet it works so much better. Use it with all over body cream as well. And she says her skin has never felt better. She says that putting lotion on dry skin now seems so yesterday!

 

The Beauty Secret You Should Start Doing Now

 

We are so pleased to celebrate with Claudia whose son is getting married this weekend. In honor of their wedding we found these amazing wedding cakes.  We think that they are perfect for any occasion:

And because we will all be a twitter with the wedding celebration, we will be taking Friday off. We leave you with some gorgeous flats for our Friday shop day.  Like so many of the new products being developed, they are of course totally from recycled materials
