This dress from J. Crew really appeals to me – add a delicate earring, a pair of strappy heels, put your hair in a french twist and you’re ready to go.
Comes in Wild Berry (pictured), charcoal, and black – currently $209 reduced from $295.

The adorable looking pasteries in Marie Antoniette…
If you’ve seen the movie Marie Antoniette, you remember those beautiful pastel colored pasteries – the rose petals and sugared fruits atop the perfect pink frosting – made me want to redo the colors in my house and also made me really want an eclair. Here’s the Parisian pastery shop that made all those delicious looking macaroons and pasteries – Laduree.
They also have books, decorating, and soon, beauty products. It’s worth a look – you may get some ideas for both decorating and entertaining.

Sample of Mirenesse Secret Weapon Mascara
I’ve heard rave reviews of Mirenesse Secret Weapon Mascara but never got around to trying it. It’s supposed to stay put all day, make your lashes curlier, fuller, and give the illusion of false lashes without the falseness, and at the end of the day, easily wash off with water. And it comes in cute packaging.
Mirenesse offers a free sample ($2 shipping to the US) here. I’m getting mine and will post what I think of it when it comes. Let me know if you get yours sooner than I do and have thoughts on it.
