Main Street Cupcakes

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

For delicious cupcakes in ridiculously imaginative flavors, check out Main Street Cupcakes in Hudson.  They happen to be Ohio’s first bakeshop that does cupcakes and only cupcakes, and they have certainly perfected the art!  My husband taste-tested the Buckeye (chocolate cake filled with peanut butter fluff topped with chocolate ganache and peanut butter buttercream) and [...]

Alterations

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

For the past few years I have trusted no one but Rosetta Finelli at Kilgore Trout at Eton Collection with my alterations. She can seriously do anything. I have had her alter dresses that I thought were un-alterable, completely remake vintage sequined jackets that were 6 sizes too big, and no task is [...]

Versatile Metallic Mini!

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

J.Crew has the cutest silver and gold elastic waist metallic mini skirts. They fit really well, have a slight a-line which makes them really flattering, and can be worn in a ton of different ways. They would be adorable with a drapey tee and casual flip flops for summer but can easily transition [...]

Moroccan Oil

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

I have been hearing a lot of good things about Moroccan Oil recently so I decided to give it a try. You are supposed to apply a small amount to towel dried hair before styling and it claims to make your hair softer, shinier, and more manageable (but not greasy!) I am happy [...]

The Art of Shaving

Friday, March 20th, 2009

My husband and I discovered The Art of Shaving line while living in Boston a couple of years back. We were quite happy to find that they had opened a store at Beachwood Place when we finally moved back to Cleveland. Since he started using their line of pre-shave oils, shaving cream, and [...]

Lilly Pulitzer

Friday, March 20th, 2009

I remember Lilly Pulitzer from back in my grade school days when everyone would wear her brightly colored printed skirts and sundresses and look impossibly country club chic. Not having revisited the Palm Beach line since those days, I decided to take advantage of the relatively warmer and sunnier spell we have been having [...]
