Casual and chic, this Isabel Marant patterned tie-neck adds the right amount of cool sophistication when tucked into the skinny black pants already part of my regular rotation. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Whispy, pulled-back hair, a cat eye and patent heel complete the look for day.</span></div>Alyssahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12348424385072586501noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4680668761616992517.post-29848995576139924262010-10-25T11:58:00.000-07:002010-10-25T13:00:21.906-07:00matte-ly in love<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kOBAT9TvrD0/TMXOndBRv6I/AAAAAAAABnw/2865pYDyGK4/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-10-25+at+2.37.58+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kOBAT9TvrD0/TMXOndBRv6I/AAAAAAAABnw/2865pYDyGK4/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-10-25+at+2.37.58+PM.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Image via bobbibrowncosmetics.com</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I typically wear minimal (to zero) makeup, depending on my mood, but my heart always races for rich, p</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">rovocative colors like Bobbi Brown's limited edition Black Maple lipstick. If I adorn myself with this daring hue, perfect for the chilled months ahead (and little else,) I'm good to go.

But when I saw these Rock of Ages Press matchbooks, I had to concede space to them. With phrases like "holy smoke" accompanied by an image of Guadalupe, or the likeness of Lakshmi next to wishes of "good karma", these matches add intention to the small task of lighting a flame.</span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It feels natural to bring the warmer scented candles out once summer has turned to fall... but what I love about Fresh's Sake candle is that it seems fitting year round. Bright and warm, it's both refreshing and relaxing.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kOBAT9TvrD0/TMRvdgAhKMI/AAAAAAAABns/mCEU-QzBo8Y/s1600/Picture+7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kOBAT9TvrD0/TMRvdgAhKMI/AAAAAAAABns/mCEU-QzBo8Y/s1600/Picture+7.png" /></span></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kOBAT9TvrD0/TMXUa_NqBPI/AAAAAAAABn0/uuG-qivZYVU/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-10-22+at+11.34.45+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="139" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kOBAT9TvrD0/TMXUa_NqBPI/AAAAAAAABn0/uuG-qivZYVU/s200/Screen+shot+2010-10-22+at+11.34.45+AM.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I've been lighting this candle for years now - something I look forward to coming home to, now added to by the Joan of Arc "burn baby burn" matches. Slightly controversial? Eh, maybe. They're just matches.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
