Scarf Artwork

The idea of framing a designer scarf and hanging it in your home is not a new one but I have been seeing some great pieces lately on instagram.  I really do love the look, depending on the scarf design, of course.  I have never seen the gallery wall concept done in all scarfs as shown below….It looks fabulous…If you are thinking of adding a framed scarf on your own walls, Ebay, The Real Real, and Fashionphile have some great options.  Here are some of my favorite photos for inspiration!!!!

Book Club Monday

Now that we are back on track with back to schedules, back to school, back to our routine….let’s get back on track with our reading. This week’s choice When We Were Strangers: A Love Story by Renee Carlino is an absolutely perfect cannot put down story!!!  Here is the summary:


From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City.

To the Green-eyed Lovebird:

We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.

You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.

We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.

Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding…

I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello.

After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? – Amazon.com

I used an LED Mask and I liked it!!!

LED light mask therapy is taking over skin care.  I had a facial recently and it featured red led light..the results were amazing…My skin was glowing.  I decided to purchase one and try it at home.  For the past month, I have been using an LED mask.  It is a seven light version..each color of light has certain benefits for your skin.  The light helps to reduce and prevent wrinkles by using natural light waves transmitted via LED.  There are no side effects or it does not produce heat and is suitable for all skin types.  HERE is the version that I bought and I am loving it.  I saw a difference right away!!!


Here is what each color light therapy does:

Here is an example of a before/after using red led light for 10-20 min per day:
