Color of the month: Summer Peach #2167-70

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tis the season to not be jolly, and endure  ho-ho-horrific weather. In an ignited resilience I summon all VP+C colleagues to ignore their chattering teeth and frostbitten toes and instead embrace blissful denial! We shall not succumb to the miseries of New York winter! With that in mind, I choose  Benjamin Moore’s “Summer Peach” as the color of January .

 

Lisa Likes “Barbie feet”-

For me, this color evokes one of my all time fashion favorites- the nude patent leather shoe. The right pair is versatile, subtly sexy, and makes your legs look great. I’ve got a pair of Nine West wedges  (the brand is a work-shoe secret… they’re super comfortable and look like a million bucks) that I regret not buying a backup pair of, but here are a few more favorites floating around out there.

These are exactly the kind of shoes that my husband calls “Barbie feet”:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Josh is Jonesing for Old-School Art-

I recently gave my apartment’s living room a (much-needed) facelift. My roommate and I painted the walls, bought new furniture, hung shelves, and for the first time in my life—I bought art. (Mom, I’m a grown-up!)

As I was shopping on a shoestring, I scouted  affordable prints online. I was fist-in-the-air excited to see really fantastic artwork available on www.art.com. Now my go-to print resource, I recently stumbled upon its variety of vintage Town & Country magazine covers. How cool, right?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eloise Says Oui! to Chanel-

From a very young age I have been fascinated by all things beauty. I would watch my mother prepare for the evening, peering out from underneath her vanity table, I would admire how she carefully powdered each cheek with large round brushes and tickling the top of my head. My favorite part of all was her vast collection of perfumes, all pinks and lavenders in lavishly decorated bottles. When she gave me my first bottle of Coco Chane,l I remember the perfect glistening pink. Over the years I have strayed rarely from this scent, dipping my toes in the oaky waters of Aqua de Parma, and Jo Malone, yet I always come back to the rosy classic bottle that reminds me of my mother.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meghan Wants Wrist-Worthy Works of Art-

My current craving: Cuffs! Big ones. Bold ones. Beige-toned ones. And I’m up in arms over the following styles.

They’re pretty, playful, packed with personality, and totally timeless—just as jewelry should be. I think it’s time I get my hands on a few, and stack them high on my arm for some drama (though, I’m trying to be drama free in 2012…-good luck to me).

So, which wrist-worthy works of art shall I get? Perhaps I’ll go for broke and buy them all. Ramen noodles aren’t that bad, right?
