Fashionable Friend Friday

This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is Sue Scully, president of Watson’s Catering.  My family has been using Watson’s to help mark all of our special occasions, over the years.  Sue and her team have been with us for engagement parties, showers, milestone birthdays and so much more.   Watson’s is so professional and the food and presentation are beyond your wildest dreams.  More importantly, no party is ever the same.  Each event is totally unique down to the menu, ambiance, and even signature cocktail.  Sue would not have it any other way!!!   I was so happy to receive an email that Watson’s is starting to offer “Walk-Away Wednesdays”.   Each week they will e-mail you a menu of dinner options of two to three entrees and sides that will be available for pick up.  You choose what you would like by Monday at 3pm and pick up your delicious dinner on Wednesday.  For more information visit their website or email info@watsonscatering.com.  Sign me up!!  You know where I will be next Wednesday!!!!

Curb Late Night Cravings

The hardest time of the day for most of us is 8:00 on.  We know we are not suppose to eat late night but still those cravings tend to be there.  If you don’t have them, boy are you lucky!!!  If you do, I have got  a tip for you.  I keep reading that that herbal tea helps curb late night snacking.   There are so many delicious flavors out there, right in your grocery store isle.  I really love mint and jasmine.  Lychee is the next on my list.  So the next time you are craving snacks and sweets at night, make yourself a cup of tea instead!!!!

Tom Ford Lip Color

Tom Ford is right up there on my list with Bradley Cooper and Leo.  He is not only an uber designer but his lip color line is out of this world.  They might actually be the BEST lipsticks on the market right now.  I am loving all the of mattes.  I have to admit that the price point is a little high but there are two sizes, so that helps.  Run don’t walk to try this amazing Tom Ford product.  PS.  My favorite is Casablanca.  It seems to be a shade that flatters many complexions!!!

Stop and Smell The Roses

I was reading that one of the best ways to grow roses are potatoes!!!!!!  YES!!!!!  POTATOES!!!!!  It is almost spring and now is the best time to try this soooooooo……


Here goes:


1. Cut a healty rose stem on a diagonal (you can remove the flower head).


2. Make a hole in a potato at least 2 inches deep.


3.  Dip the end of the stem in plant hormone powder (this is optional but help encourage roses or grow)


4. Put the tip into the hole of the potato.


5. Bury the potato into the ground to cover the potato but leave the cutting exposed.


6. Put a stake in the ground and loosely attached the cutting to keep it straight.


7. Water the soil around the planting but do not soak the ground as too much water will rot the potato.


AND VOILA…….

Oscars Fashions

I love the Oscars….probably because I love the movies, the actors, the actresses, the costumes, the music, just about EVERYTHING.  By the time award season rolls around I try to have seen most, if not all, of the nominated films.  This year was no exception.  I thought the films overall were rather dark but I did enjoy them none the less.  Of course, I was hoping that sweet Leo would win.  No one wants to believe in the Oscar Curse and after 6 times it sure was his turn.  I loved that everyone gave Leo at standing ovation when his name was called.  As usual the fashions did not disappoint.  Here are some of my favorite looks from last night…..


The best one!!!…I love Julianne Moore..she always hits it out of the park and can you really go wrong in Chanel?

How gorgeous was Kate Blanchett?  Stunning in Armani .  I love the long diamond earrings and cuff.  Bravo!!!!

Another one of my favorites was J Law.  I loved how she looked in this Dior Gown.  Simple, elegant and her hair and makeup is BEYOND!!!  A+++

Bree Larson looked amazing in this Gucci gown. It is such a simple look that is made regal with the outstanding staement belt.  I love how she showcased the belt by just wearing simple hanging earrings.   I loved her in Room.  I was so happy she won.  She was so good and so endearing.

I have to give Rooney Mara a shout out too because her Givenchy dress, makeup and shoes are perfection.  They are feting her as the modern day Audrey Hepburn and I have to agree!!!

And what I was rooting for all night?….. A Best Actor nod for Leo.  I must admit, I did not love him in Titanic.  But each movie I liked him a little bit more.  He won me over in Gatsby, and by the Wolf of Wall Street, I was hooked.  After so many nominations, I am sure Leo partied last night like the superstar that he is….Congrats Leo you sure deserve it!!!!
