In 1999 the Sonia Kashuk beauty brand was born in partnership with Target stores. At around the very same time, while wandering around Target one day, I found a perfect little eyeshadow brush and, because it was so pretty, I bought it. It was a Sonia Kashuk product, and it was the first eyeshadow brush I bought that didn't come free with an eyeshadow compact. I remember feeling very professional about having purchased it. Though I don't use it daily, I still have the eyeshadow brush - over 10 years later, and I am now well aware of the "luxury at mass" brand that is Sonia Kashuk.  Read more >

I'm a slob. I admit it. I'm not proud of it; in fact, it drives me crazy. Clutter stresses me out, and yet ... I just let it pile up because finding the time to clean it all stresses me out, too. It's a vicious cycle.  Read more >

Spring is in the air...I can just feel it! And bright colors are being seen all over the interior design and fashion world right now. And with this unseasonably warm winter the thought of cold weather makes me shudder. Cold weather is no longer welcome in my book:). I'm absolutely loving that the flowers are beginning to bloom, if they haven't bloomed already. The tulips, daffodils, azaleas, etc are creeping in.  Read more >

I posted a couple of days ago about beautiful entry ways, and so often entries have grand staircases. And those staircases are usually the focal point of the entry. When designing a home, one of those little details that can often be looked over is the railing design on your stairs and landings (inside and outside) and gates. Remember, no detail can go unnoticed.  Read more >

I love coffee tables not only because they're functional but because they're a great way to show off your personal style in a high traffic space. It's the perfect place for books on your interests, candles, vases with seasonal blooms, and other decorative objects that show off your personality. It's also a great way to introduce color into your room. As I mentioned in my previous post, trays can be a great way to organize your odds and ends.  Read more >
