Of course I never find the time so  I can’t wait to read Gilbert’s new book, Prairie Tale!

I’m proud to be a LHOP supporter and fan, we need more shows like that on tv if you ask me!  I’ve watched the show almost my entire life, I can’t even imagine all the many ways it’s impacted me.  Every episode is a gem and has some great lessons.  If you have a problem, ANY problem, I can surely recommend a Little House episode that may help you – just ask!

Although I don’t normally read memoirs from such young people, I’m happy to make the exception for Prairie Tale.   Now at the tippity top of my long to-do list!  If it’s on yours too feel free to email me with your thoughts and rest assured I will post about it in a few weeks so I don’t give away too much!! 

The picture (above) is at a Borders book signing in NY June 9, 2009 — had I known, I’d have been there!

glam granola

 

Living in Maine, aka the headquarters for the ’crunchy granola’ woman, I see those women who are so committed to organic living they don’t care about any particular fashion.  Glam granola girls by contrast are ultra-stylish while still demanding premium quality skincare and personal products.  If only haute couture would go organic!

You’ve undoubtedly committed yourself to at least one resolution at this point.  2009 is the year of NO more excuses!  Learn all the different ways YOU can be green in the new year with Tasmin Blanchard’s book, Green Is The New Black. 

I must warn you that you may be compelled to own an angora bunny or buy less and better quality clothing.  There are so many things we can do and that may not always be the cheapest but it is for sure the best.

The section involving beauty is small but chocked full of good information.  There are even several recipes for diy beauty products.  I went through a stage circa 1991/92 where I made many beauty things.  My skin reaped the many benefits of making items from scratch if not every day, at least once in a while!

For all of you ladies who’d like to keep your skin looking good naturally without the homemade options, check out Green Is The New Black’s well deserved honorable beauty mentions: Burt’s Bees, Liz Earle, Lavera, Jane Iredale and Aveda.

A guide to the pieces every stylish woman must own…

That blurb somes it all up, 100 pieces that will keep you in style possibly forever. I LOVE this book and I’m dreaming about the day I can actually shop (come on January!).  I’d like to share with you my first five purchases, inspired by this book…

  • Wellington boots, I KNOW I’ll get plenty of use here in Maine
  • Spanx, I currently only have ASSETS from Target
  • Stubbs & Wootton Euro/Dollar slippers which I must admit I thought were horrible at first but after lusting after them for a few weeks I finally want in a bad way.
  • A new Hermes scarf in red, my old Hermes scarf is so used it’s not even funny, sure I have plenty of others but there’s nothing like Hermes!
  • AND and investment bag, hopefully a Longchamp in mocha brown

So there you have my little list, the only thing I totally don’t get in the book is #87 for Turquoise jewelry.  Perhaps I’m sensitive to it but Turquoise doesn’t strike me as a classic item in a good way.  Opals on the other hand would have been so much classier a pick in my opinion.  There are many more items that I do want to own, Nina Garcia’s list is the definitive one for all women.  In times of financial insecurity at least you know your money is going to work for you season after season.

Not exactly a beauty book but so much fun and informative!  I had to make sure you knew about it. Robyn Moreno’s, Practically Posh,  delivers tips and tricks with style most ladies can attain.  Not for the snooty pants among us, this is a book for the real life women who want to know how to live well.

If I could pick one word to describe the theme of this book it would be maximization, you can get so much from so little, even a little paycheck!   I love to be inspired and get new ideas, see great pictures, it’s my own little private vision quest.

The pictures are gorgeous of course but I love to see the movement behind the shot.  Check out the youtube vid (below) for some great tidbits.

Ruben Toledo Alert, Don’t Miss…

     the Salvador Dali inspired pages right after the Jessica Biel spread.  Photographs by Richard Burbridge, Illustrations by, my favorite, Ruben Toledo.  Remember Ruben from Nina Garcia’s Little Black Book of Style?  Don’t miss his NEW book FASHIO-N-ATION out August 2008.

FASHIO-N-ATION is described as a, “…collection of over 150 drawings, water colors and pen and ink portraits by artist Toledo explores with his typical Cuban Black Humor and sweetly cynical New Yorker’s eye the ever changing landscape of fashion and the body language of style.” Steidl

I’m dying to see this, but with a retail of $360 I’ll be requesting an inter-library loan some day.  Until then I’ll hang onto the Harper’s Bazaar pages.
