Vera Wang

Sleep Fashionably Tight On Vera Wang Serta Beds

Vera Wang has done it again.

Vera Wang has done it again. The designer has expanded her line of bridal gowns into an empire that consists of: evening and cocktail wear, bridesmaids dresses, fine china, shoes, jewelry, fragrances, eye wear, home collections, books, a special honeymoon suite in Hawaii and now...beds!

Wang and Serta have joined forces to bring us her vast collection of romance inspired mattresses called Vera Wang by Serta. Just enter your zip code on the Serta site for local distributors locations for purchase. Her tag line for Serta is Life Is But A Dream... and it sure is if you are Ms. Wang.


The line includes the: Bridal Bed, Sweetheart Bed, Komen Bed and All Foam Bed. The latest and greatest is her Luxe Bow Super Pillow Top Bed which stays cooler when you sleep, thanks to Kool Comfort memory foam, and has 880 inner coils as opposed to the average 670 coils. This line is available in seven different sizes and variations exclusively at Fortunoff.

What's the price tag? You have to call for that and availability, what's your guess?

The joining of luxury beds and a luxury designer is a great match. We can't wait to see what Vera has up her bustle for us next!

The beauty scene is abuzz about the new Tom Ford Estée Lauder Collection Amber Nude: The Minaudiere.

The beauty scene is abuzz about the new Tom Ford Estée Lauder Collection Amber Nude: The Minaudiere. This gorgeous golden makeup contains real gold - for real!

Now your skin, and your senses, are under the influence of Tom Ford (a nice influence to be under). This makeup collection reflects Tom Ford's provocative aesthetic: neutral mouth, nude nails, flawless skin and a dramatic and enticing eye. Real gold in the makeup gives it a gilded, glamorous edge.

Ford feels this is really the one look that works for most skin tones. This Minaudiere limited edition comes with The Face and The Lip Polish as well as a small and chic gilded gold case. The collection retails for $550.

Simply Fab: Baby Jak Adult Baby Blanket

I conjure up specific shopping missions for myself.

I conjure up specific shopping missions for myself. I often go on these missions to fill in the holes in my life - holes in my wardrobe, beauty cabinet and home furnishings that is. I consider myself a pretty skilled shopper and I usually complete my shopping missions pretty fast. However, for the longest time I was looking for an adult blanket made out of the amazingly snuggly soft fabric baby blankets are made of. To my disbelief, I found one. Baby brand Baby Jak of San Francisco makes one and it is a slice of heaven. Each blanket is reversible with two colors and two textures and are machine wash and dry. These blankies are $150 and can be purchased here. Enjoy!
