There’s just something about a caramel apple. Depending on where you live you might call it a taffy apple or a candy apple. There might be disagreement about the name - but there’s no disagreement about the taste. And if you’re looking for the ultimate interpretation of that classic treat, look no further than Mrs. Prindables Gourmet Caramel Apples.
YUM!
And no, I’m not talking about the kind of favor where someone washes my car. I’m talking party favors. How cute are these handbag sachets?
A really great party favor like this is something truly memorable. The set of three comes nestled in a designer gift box and is sure to make a lasting impression. Each luxurious little pink and black purse is handmade. Tucked away in drawers, these lovely sachets are sure to provide a lasting impression. A perfect memento of your bridal or baby shower. A terrific favor for any ladies luncheon or tea party. Also fun as a stocking stuffer or a little hostess or thank you gift.
Available at Beau-Coup. $6.75 for each set of 3 handbag sachets (min. of 4 sets).

When I get back from my little international adventure, the first thing I’m going to do is get some new patio furniture. What I have is nice and works well in my small space - my problem is that when I’m entertaining a larger group, there just aren’t enough places to sit. I’ve found a perfect solution. I’m going to replace all of my small end tables (there are three of them) with multipurpose pieces that can also serve as seating when the party grows.
Like this Frank Gehry Left Twist Cube. Just what I need to make the most of my outside space. And the unusual architectural shape will add new style and interest. $210 at Design Within Reach. They have quite a few other interesting options that will also serve multiple purposes.
How about this Prince AHA Stool. It actually serves TRIPLE duty as seating, table or storage. Designed by Philippe Starck. $110. Available in orange, white or grey.
The new sunglass collection has arrived at Armani Exchange. So hot. So cool. New shapes. New styles. From the sporty to the glamorous.
Styles for men and women.
I’m about to skip town, myself. While my trip is a bit more of an odyssey than the typical spring break, Miami is one of my destinations. Like most people, I prefer to stay in really nice hotels - and like most people, I like to pay as little as possible. I was a bit worried that prices would be over the top… As usual, I turned to the folks at Hotels.com and my worries were laid to rest in a matter of clicks. I snagged a tres swanky 5 star hotel for UNDER $225 a night. In Miami. During spring break. I rock. And so does Hotels.com
.
I prefer Hotels.com to the other hotel and travel websites for a variety of reasons - the search engine is far superior to any other site I’ve used and much more user friendly. It’s easier to find top tier hotels and smaller boutique hotels. There are tons of photos, ratings and extremely detailed descriptions of amenities. The prices are excellent, as is the customer service. And best of all, you can save even more when you book a multiple night stay.
Here’s how it works - the longer you stay, the more you save. Save $20 with a 3 night booking. Save $30 with a 5 night booking. Save $50 with an 8 night booking. Save $75 with a 10 night booking. And max out those savings with a $100 rebate for a 12 night booking!
Bon voyage!
