Fern 911

By Claire • Sep 29th, 2008 • Category: Flair Decor

 
Between the office drama, grocery shopping, husband (who won’t stop running his mouth), PTA meetings and September Vogue, you haven’t had time for your little baby fern.  Your poor, crispy plant is in critical condition. 
Put down the phone, 911 can’t help you here. But Vitamin Living can! This striking I.V. planter serves a dual purpose-it [...]



It’s a Small, Small World

By Claire • Sep 29th, 2008 • Category: Flair Decor, Flair Shopping

 
Though we all take the occasional trip abroad in search for fabulous foreign fashion, it takes a lot of research to know where to go to get the most unique and fun foreign home additions. Not to mention the horrendous task of boxing up and shipping your finds.
Old Town Scottsdale’s The Grand Tour does the work [...]



Finger-Licking Good

By Claire • Sep 26th, 2008 • Category: Flair Dining

Nothing is less graceful than trying to balance a crocodile clutch, gin & tonic, cocktail napkin and baby quiche at a classy cocktail party. What hot banker wants to talk to a circus-like balancing act?
Fred’s Fingerfood ring plates are the answer to your party multitasking woes. Slip one of the delightful little dishes on your [...]



Like Magic

By Claire • Sep 24th, 2008 • Category: Flair Decor, Flair Toys

We don’t know what’s grosser- the constant dripping of runny noses or the lack of cool-looking Kleenex boxes. Fact: Tissue is something everybody needs, but nobody wants to look at. 
Well ABRACADABRA- we’ve found the cutest little tissue dispenser ever! Similar to the way magicians pull endless handkerchiefs out of coat jackets and hats, you will [...]



Wrinkle in Time

By Claire • Sep 22nd, 2008 • Category: Flair Beauty

While there are clearly a ton of things to love about bedtime, rat-nest hair and sleep creases on our cheeks are not among them. In actuality, what feels like beauty sleep can really make us look older and more disheveled. Did you know repeatedly sleeping in the same position can also cause fine lines and eventual wrinkles? Talk about [...]



Dracula Decor

Former Angel and Buffy buffs have sunk their teeth into the latest vampire book, “Twilight,” putting the chilling thriller at the top of bestseller lists nationwide. The saga tells the tale of a young Phoenician girl who falls in love with a vampire. 
This vampire-chic couch (aptly named the “Twilight Sofa”) is fit for Dracula, himself. The [...]



Back to Cool

By Claire • Sep 12th, 2008 • Category: Flair Toys, Something To Do

Your yearbook pictures were just a recipe for disaster. An uncomfortable seat, perverted photographer, huge lines of peers watching and your entire look (feathered bangs, neon eyeshadow and shoulder pads) equalled an unfortunate situation.

Lucky for you, you get to relive it every time you open your K-12 class photos and yearbooks.
It’s cool! Yearbook Yourself celebrates [...]



Water You Doin’?

By Claire • Sep 11th, 2008 • Category: Flair Decor, Flair Shopping, Flair Toys

Haute fashion choices, jam-packed event (and TV) schedules, back-to-school and lower air-conditioning bills are all definite benefits of the transition into fall. There is one thing we miss, however.  
Flowers! Beautiful glorious flowers.  Dead bales of straw and giant pumpkins are no substitute for daffodils and summery blooms.  Which is why we LOVE The French [...]



Boring Calls, Begone!

By Claire • Sep 9th, 2008 • Category: Something To Do

Some people are flat-out boring on the phone.  So boring, in fact, that you can type e-mails, visit CNN.com, or even get some online gaming in while “talking” to them. But most internet video games fall into two categories. Horribly violent, or completely mindless. Well, we don’t condone the DOOM or Mortal Kombat variety, and [...]



Champagne Bubbles

By Claire • Sep 8th, 2008 • Category: Flair Decor, Flair Dining, Flair Shopping

What once was reserved for special occasions, a bottle of bubbly, is now being downed by socialites nearly every time they’re offered a cocktail.  What’s better than popping bottles and not having to face such a difficult morning-after?
But how does one make such a delicious staple special again?
With gold-plated Faberge accessories, of course! Available at [...]
