Ah the Oscars! The glitz, the glamour, the hosts – oh no. Everyone was tweeting last night about the fashions, the hosts and the winners. It was fun to be a part of the conversations. I thought the hosts did fine but James Franco did look a bit like he did not want to be there. No big surprises for the actual Oscar winners so let’s get to the fashions. The trends for the evening were lots of color (hello red), some lace and shimmer. The best dressed in my opinion was Sandra Bullock and of course Hailee Steinfeld looked adorable. Of course Halle Berry looks great as always.  The worst dressed in my opinion was Cate Blanchett’s and that dress – yikes. My favorite places to hear all about the Oscar wrap ups are Entertainment Tonight and US Weekly. What were your favorites?

My friend invited me to a fashion show at the Four Seasons in Boston this past weekend and it was fun. Lots of jewelry, clothes and fashionable people!
I did not realize it was a benefit and fundraiser for this great organization called Ovations for the cure of ovarian cancer. https://www.ovationsforthecure.org
Please do go to the web site to see how this organization got started from the courage of one woman…
The fashion show featured Stuart Weitzman’s fall 2010 line as well as designs from Michael De Paulo Couture’s new spring 2011 line.
We loved the jewelry by Catalina Delatorre and especially the way it was presented. Check out the photos….Simply a work of art!

In my search for the perfect back to school lunch bag I wanted to make sure the ones I give my kids are PVC free. Of course I love LLBean back packs and according to their web site their lunch boxes are tested for no lead, phthalates or PVCs. They have every color imaginable! https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/844?nav=gnrost
I just discovered the fuel line of products for the kids! Designed well and in matching colors….just perfect! Plus they are affordable! Tested the insulated lunch bag, the dry snack container and stainless steel water bottle and my kids loved them. Check out their other products too as they come in four fun colors. All are lead free, no PVC and no Bisphenol-A! I love how the snack container has a clip for easy backpack access and the foldable cutlery set is a perfect fit for lunch boxes. Â

Ever notice how the kids toys pile up and you have no place to put them? I have a great fabric bin storage system that I use for the kids toys that I got at…surprise..target! But am always looking for places to put their stuffed animals.
The Container store has some great bins so you cannot go wrong there.
Ikea also has these mesh storage containers that are great and colorful. The hanging ones are a great space saver and are only $1.49!

But when I discovered Boon Inc. I was in heaven. This company makes the best products.  The oval animal bag is the cutest thing. It also doubles as a seat too so it would look great in a bedroom. The trio animal bag is even bigger and will accommodate even the biggest collector of stuffed animals.
