A sandstorm hit the Golden Globes red carpet and now it's attacked neonbee. What I'd like to point out here is that beige hearts brown.

I don't have a lot of brown in my closet, so it impresses me when someone pulls the color off right. Jezrel chose head-to-toe brown for a tea party she recently attended. Say, doesn't she look as sweet as brown sugar? What really solidifies the look is her generous use of gold accessories. Brown and gold: a match made in fashion heaven.

Conversation Heart Cookies (Message in a Cookie Recipe)

Sweetheart candies are an essential on Valentine's Day, and recently Williams-Sonoma took the same idea to cookies with Message in a Cookie, a kit that comes with three different cookie-cutter shapes: a heart, a star, and a scalloped square. Each cookie cutter features slots for text, where you can use the accompanying letter stamps to make your own talking sugar cookies. I whipped up a quick Read more
