When my friends at
Christina Ribel sent me an e-mail this morning to remind me that there were only two weeks left to take advantage of the FREE TANK TOP offer, I was pretty surprised. I guess I took that ‘or while supplies last’ part of the original offer more seriously than they did. Good thing. Now we all have time to take advantage.


If you’re not familiar with
Christina Ribel, then now’s the perfect chance to get acquainted. Designed and manufactured in Denmark, their unique tops are absolute wardrobe essentials. Comparable in quality and style to the tops you’d find at Wolford or Fogal, but these fabulous and unique designs sell for about half the price of those well known Euro-hosiery giants.
Shop at
Christina Ribel between now and 6/15/2008 and you’ll receive a FREE TANK TOP with your order. No special coupon code is required. By the way, limit one free tank top per customer. Not valid on sale merchandise – although you should check out what’s on sale anyway. Save 50% on what they call ‘out of season’ colors.

UPDATED 2/8/2009 WITH SOME SAD NEWS – IT APPEARS THAT CHRISTINA RIBEL HAS ALL BUT GONE OUT OF BUSINESS – AND THEIR WEBSITE IS CURRENTLY NOT ACTIVE. WE’LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

It’s absolute chocolate perfection. Caramel, milk and white chocolate – swirled into a bar of paradise on earth.

And for a taste of the past, try the Rocky Road Slab
. Generous chunks of white chocolate, crispy puffed rice and hand made chocolate chip cookies blended into a 70/30 fusion of milk and dark chocolate.

These gourmet bark bars are sold in one-pound slabs for $30 each at Hotel Chocolat

I’ve been a huge fan of Tateossian
jewelry for a couple of years now. Paula discovered it first when she was on a trip to England. I went SO completely crazy for the bracelet she bought for herself that I begged her to give it to me off of her wrist. She declined, but did the next best thing. She bought me one of my very own.

If you’ve never seen their work before, I guess the best way I can describe it is Georg Jensen with an urban edge. Modern, sleek and infitely wearable. If you’re shopping for something for yourself or looking for a gift that’s a bit different than what everyone else is wearing, check it out at Tateossian.com

With all the globe trotting I did over the last few months, you’d think my skin would have been a mess, and that it would have taken quite a while to take control of the situation once I got home.

Not so. As I’ve written before (See my recent post at x), I planned my on-the-road skincare quite carefully. I also happened to pick up some fabulous Dead Sea products from Cleopatra’s Choice while I was in Israel. Nothing is more healing to troubled skin than these miraculous soothing minerals.
If you’ve never tried Dead Sea products before, I urge you to check them out. You’ll be a believer.

With all the traveling I’ve been doing, I’ve passed a fair number of hours in airport duty free shops. There was a time when a few hours at Heathrow or Charles de Gaulle meant a chance for some serious shopping, but not these days. With the EURO well above $1.50 it’s no surprise that there are no bargains to be found. But, to be honest, I was shocked at how high the prices actually were. I found one of my favorite fragrances, Terre d’Hermes, at several different duty free shops for anywhere from 57 to 66 Euro (the equivalent of about $85 to $105). While this price is certainly a bit less than the full retail price of $125, it’s far more than I’d ever pay online.

The same was true for just about every fragrance I shopped and most skincare and beauty products, too.

And when it came to cosmetics, the results were even worse. Some Chanel lipsticks were actually MORE expensive in at the Paris duty free than they are full price at any high end department store in the states.

I checked prices for nearly every product I purchase regularly (and for which I know the prices well). From lipstick to eye cream to perfume, I knew that I could save at least 20% and sometimes as much as 50% shopping online as opposed to duty free. In a way, it’s a shame. I always loved spending my last few hours in Paris shopping away. And they have such nice shops in the airport now. Oh well. Until the dollar strengthens against the Euro, I’m sorry to report that duty free bargain shopping for perfume and cosmetics has pretty much bitten the dust.

After style watching for weeks on the streets of fashion meccas like Paris and Madrid, I can report that bags are HUGE this season. Literally. They’re enormous. The hottest handbag look is the tote – big, bright and bold. Unusual colors.

Innovative shapes and rich textures, like this pebbled leather tote from Buti.

Original design details. Like the tassle closure on this oversized woven leather tote.


Tan Brown Woven Leather Oversized Tote Bag – Nuovedive

Last week I did some grocery shopping at a small international fruit market / grocery not too far from my house. I saw some pickles that looked interesting. I took them off the shelf to take a closer look. The front label was in English; the back label was in Arabic. On the English side, the package was clearly marked ‘Made in West Bank’. Just as I was thinking about how cool it was that in such a short time there are actually marketable products coming to America from West Bank and wondering why they don’t talk about that on the news – I noticed it. A Kosher certification. (OU). Now I really want to know why no one is talking about this on the news. I’m not going to pontificate about politics – I’m just going to say that I believe in peace and I think it’s AWESOME that there are products coming out of West Bank onto the American market and that I think it’s even more incredible that some of these products are Kosher foods.

Ceramic Tile Shalom Top – $24.99.

So it got me thinking. What better way to promote peace than to go out your way to purchase products made by people who live in regions of conflict. Especially the artists and craftsmen who are dedicated to promoting peace, diversity and respect for the traditions of all people and cultures through the products they create.
