Crimson & Clover

The other week I popped into my favorite floral shop, Crimson & Clover for a jewelry trunk show. I swear something about that store always has me pulling out my wallet! I justify it by being creatively inspired each & every time I visit. Simple wild flowers in little tin pails were dainty, but packed a color punch on her counter.

Here I am with floral genius & owner Amy Epstein. She infuses her arrangements with creative touches like artichokes, so I can wait to take her wreath decorating class in November!

Several different vendors brought in their one of a kind wares. It took tons of restraint just to narrow my selection down to just a few pieces! I love a good girl's night out!

Eye Candy

Remember how I said I was slightly obsessed with the newly revamped Henri Bendels? These displays were the main reason. What first caught my eye? A mannequin that had a fun, textured pink dress. Upon further inspection? It was made entirely of buttermints encased in pastel pink wrappers.

In continuing with a Willy Wonka candy theme in the store was this mannequin decked out in lavender and baby blue marshmallows! Genius.

The piece de la resistance? This creation made entirely of rock candy. The displays were so magically motivating, that when I got back to my own boutique- we redid all of our displays!

The entire effect was museum quality art. I hope you think it's as fabulous as I do!

Peace. Love. Sugar. M

Arm Candy

My favorite shop in this weeks' NYC visit? The revamped Henri Bendel. In a bold move, they recently switched from more of a department store complete with apparel, to solely accessories and make-up.

Displays were brilliant and nothing short of inspirational. It was like a rainbow of color throughout the store, with color groupings of accessories. Mint, lavender, baby blue- it was perfection.

Ice Ice Baby. Besides carrying an array of up and coming accessory designers, Bendels has launched their own private label, complete with signature brown and white striped subtly tucked in here and there. If you follow me on twitter, you caught additional peeks at my favorite picks! It is a must to stop by if you're in the city!
