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 breathes some fun into your room, and breathes some water into your plant. The fiberglass pot has an adjustable arm and I.V., so you can change the drip to fit all types of plants.

We’ll take two of these and call you in the morning.

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 for you! This grand bazaar of a store combines furniture, accessories, art, music and more from numerous decades and continents for a smorgasbord of multicultural decor options. We love the above Aster de Villatte line- the incredible Parisian ceramics are made of black clay, then covered in white powder and glazed. The wildly popular ceramic line looks slightly irregular and unique, but blends well with your American dishes.

We don’t know about you, but we’re going to hold off on renewing our passports.

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 an eye-opener!

These luxurious baby pink Branche Ideal Beauty 100% Silk Charmeuse pillowcases are so sleek and slippery, your face and hair simply glide across them, making it much easier to keep hairdos in line and fragile skin perfectly picturesque. 

So switch out your cotton and hit the snooze button! An extra ten minutes won’t hurt you now.

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 dramatically tufted, curvy shape is just begging for a home in a sexy lair someplace. Toss a velvet pillow or two on it and you have a dangerously awesome look.

There’s no telling who’ll be drawn to the soft leather, so keep a stake or two nearby.

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 Bee’s beautiful “watergarden” arrangements. These silk flowers are scarily realistic, and come with pseudo water in a cute crystal vase. Plop it on your desk for year-round simulated summer.

Minus the sunburn, bee-stings, and sweat. Thank god.

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 Champagne’s Home Decor, this incredible three-piece set should be used on only the most special occasions. An incredible Champagne bucket, beautiful glasses and a caviar server will elevate the Veuve to that level of occasion it deserves.

Cheers!

That quilted two-flap red caviar leather bag is further and further out of reach.  What once was $1,800 is now $2,300 and will soon be $3,000. The prices on Chanel are ballooning faster than gas!

Put down the white flag- you can’t surrender to fashion!  Those double-C’s are within your grasp. Check out this exquisite 3-book Chanel set, and learn all about Mademoiselle Coco’s inspirational sense of style. The three volumes cover her incredible fashion, jewelry and perfume. Best of all, it’s available at Saks Fifth Avenue for only $50.

So you can get the fashion you crave, AND pay your mortgage.

We love in Phantom of the Opera when Christine and Raoul are professing their love with the beautiful “All I Ask Of You,” and the Phantom drops a huge glass chandelier on stage to warn them of his disapproval. He may be a little disformed, but we’d pick that melodious Don Juan over a wussy Viscount any day. 

This $499 crystal table chandelier from Thingz Contemporary is beautiful, fabulous and dramatic, just like that incredible Broadway moment, but it actually fits into our everyday lives. 

Which, needless to say, a tortured, brooding murdering Phantom never could.

Your friend Stephanie always smells like a dream. When you finally discovered her secret scent, you were unhappy to learn that you have a vial of the mystery concoction on your vanity. Why does it smell so amazing on her, and disappear in five minutes when you dab it on?

The answer is pheromones.  Pheromones and DNA.

But you too can find the ultimate scent! MyDNAFragrance custom-builds fragrances for you based on a DNA swab you mail them. Creepy? Yes. Effective? Not sure yet. 

We always knew shoe shopping was the answer to most of the world’s problems.  But now they’re covering new territory. Improving circulation, toning calves and even DIMINISHING CELLULITE.

That’s right, ladies. Shape Up Shoes have created quite the buzz- they’re the ultimate in workouts for the ultimate in lazy. These flip flops, boots and croc look-alikes have special “negative heels”. They force you to balance on the balls of your feet, working muscles you normally use while climbing Stairmasters, and you can see results from 30 minutes of use per day.

Now if only they’d lower our gas prices…
