I’m craving cake. And I’m not afraid to admit it, either. I’m craving Red Velvet Cake with cream cheese frosting. And not just any red velvet cake either.
I want the dreamy and oh-so perfect Red Velvet Cake from BakeMeAWish.com
.
Some people might think it’s unusual that I want to order myself a cake, but I justify in two ways.
This cake is really that good.
And, it’s a way giving back too. A portion of all sales is donated to the Make a Wish Foundation.

The best way to feel flirty and pretty? Wear pretty underwear!
Lulu Boyshort in Black 
And Fleur’t makes some of the prettiest underwear I’ve seen in quite a while.
Lulu Low Rise Thong in Chocolate
In Fall 1999, the first Fleur’t lingerie collection developed from owner and designer Nancy Yoo’s simple need: flirty, feminine lingerie that fits and feels good. For Fleur’t camisoles and lace trimmed panties, she chooses materials that stretch gently and softly, conforming to a variety of body types. Camisoles always have a lining or a shelf bra. Boy shorts sit low on the hips, giving a snug fit without a tight waistband. And they’re cute. Accented with delicate embroidery, whimsical appliqués or unadorned, and available in a rich range of colors, Fleur’t offers women a much-needed alternative to mainstream lingerie.

I browsed a lot of crystal when I was in Paris and Madrid last month. Lots of crystal. I visited Baccarat and Lalique. All the biggies. And a lot of smaller crystal makers, too. The one brand that sparkled brighter than the rest this trip was Swarovski 
. The stores are impeccably merchandised, which totally highlighted the beauty of each piece. And their new collections are SPECTACULAR! Especially the jewelry and gift items.
From whimsical butterflies to simple geometrics, their crystal jewelry and accessories are one of my top picks for luxury gift items this season. Perfect for Mother’s Day or just about any other occasion. And, by the way, there’s no reason to exclude yourself from your gift giving list. Indulge yourself. You deserve it.

My recent globetrotting was not just about shopping. I spent a fair amount of time working on a project related to my ‘day job’. And it was a good thing, too. Everything was SO expensive. With the EURO reaching an all time high against the dollar, it was just way too expensive to do that much extremely high end shopping. Truth be told, a Louis Vuitton purse or Hermes scarf is now more expensive in Paris than it is in New York. When I lived in Paris the Euro was at an all time low of about 85 cents. Now it’s nearly $1.60 – that means that prices have just about DOUBLED! But I had plenty of time to eat. And I indulged myself in some incredible tasty treats. Including chocolate. Lots of chocolate.
During my 5 day stop in Paris I sampled chocolates at boutique chocolatiers on the Ile Saint Louis and in the Marais. I nibbled tasty treats from big name artisan chocolatiers, too. And (drumroll, please…..) my pick for the best chocolates in Paris….. RICHART Gourmet French Chocolate. 
RICHART is dedicated to producing fine chocolates for chocolate lovers around the world. This devotion to creating fine chocolate and the art of the chocolatier is unmatched by other chocolate companies. RICHART Gourmet French Chocolate collections combine the finest chocolate and best ingredients the world has to offer in beautifully presented specialty boxes (ballotins). Trust me. You’ll love it!
Give the people close to you the gift of art topped with an free edible chocolate card of you choice

Not all sparkle must be diamonds. Next time you’re shopping for jewelry, consider colored gemstones. Add a splash of color to your bling.
And because most colored stones are much less expensive than diamonds, there’s no reason not to indulge yourself… I’m just saying.

With the arctic cold front we’re facing here in Chicago right now, it’s hard to imagine spring will ever arrive. And the days have been dark and oh-so dreary.

And with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I’ve been able to snag some pretty excellent deals on flowers and blooming plants. After all, there’s no rule that says you can’t be your own Valentine!

It’s true that in many circles the Brits are not known for their fine cuisine. But there are exceptions to every rule. And we’ve found one such exception. Hotel Chocolat 
began 14 years ago in the UK, when co-founders Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris embarked on a journey to reset the stakes of the chocolate market in terms of quality, variety and inspiration. A mail-order catalog preceded their award-winning Web site and retail stores across the UK. The unbeatable combination of authentic premium ingredients with imagination and flair has translated into success in the UK and beyond. Hotel Chocolat is now bringing its luxury chocolate to the States.
If you’re looking for gifts of unbeatable chocolate bliss, look no further. And if you’re a true chocolate freak – don’t wait for anyone else to send a taste – indulge yourself with some chocolate bliss today. And don’t forget to check out The Purist’s Library – Pure Chocolate from Hotel Chocolat
