Secret

Doesn't it irritate you when you visit someone’s home that looks and smells cleaner and fresher than your own home? Don’t you sometimes wonder if they have a little cleaning fairy that sweeps through their house just before you arrive so that everything looks and smells deliciously clean? Well we are going to share their secret with you. They are using The Good Home Co. products to keep their home spotless. With everything available from hand soap to tile and tub cream cleanser, these unique products work wonderfully and are available in great scents such as Beach Days, Lavender and Paris Rain (our personal favorite). So now that you are in the know of this great secret, there is only one thing you can do, keep it to your self!

Fallen

Rarely do we at StyleFinders find reason to feature the same designer twice in one month. However, Isabella Fiore has given us reason to do just that! Those of you who were lucky enough to secure the Quilty Pleasures Carina Hobo bag know why we are so into her designs this season. Those of you who weren't...well here are a few more reasons why we have fallen and don't want to get up!

Lamb Chop Fur-Trim Bag




Mini Calf-Hair & Leather Grommet Bag




Yakkety Yak Fleece Hobo

House of athletics

With her outstanding Savile Row tailoring skills, Stella McCartney has given us many reasons to adore her collections. She is one of the few that can take polyester and make it chic! And that is exactly what she has done for Adidas once again with her 2nd collection for the athletic house. This go around she has given reason after reason to adore exercise apparel. Here are 3 in particular that stand out for us.

The Gym Cover Up Parka


The Gym Bra Top


The Running Cover Up Vest

Silky Soap

We have discovered a new soap. But not just any soap, a silk wrapped soap. Let us explain.

Charcoal from Unna & Co. is one of the best soaps we have tried recently (and we have tried quite a few). Made of natural ingredients from the Orient, including rice and rice bran oil, it gently moisturizes the skin while getting rid of all of those pesky dead skin cells. What’s even better is the packaging. No paper wrapping for this soap. Instead it is enclosed in a handmade silk box that has been hand-dyed to perfectly match the color of the soap! Now if that doesn't tell you how special this soap is, we don't know what will. Enjoy.

Simply Charming

Without a doubt, Chloe has stolen our hearts with the Kerala hobo bag. The details on this purse make it one of the highlights of the season for us. From the strap that encircles the purse and buckes on top, to the lock details and rings on the shoulder strap, it has a look that entices one to want to carry it. But what really does it for us are the charms hanging on the side. The stud, horse and logo horseshoe charms are...well to us, they are quite simply charming.

Roar

While we told you about Banana Republic's Heritage Collection on yesterday, we did not share the details on the lion cashmere sweater. Wild and classic, we love what it can do for just about any outfit you put it with. Once again, you need to get on it if you want one. We don't want you roaring to us about how you can't find one anywhere because you were too busy reading about it here.

Jump to it

This is THE coat for you this fall. From Banana Republic's new Heritage Collection, this red wool and nylon coat will keep you warm and stylish. We would say more about it but we don't want to take up any more of your time. The supply is limited so you need to jump to it if you want this one!

Clearly Pink

The Little Penguin Australian Wine Company has done the impossible. They have created a white shiraz! Well, it is more pink in color but that's close enough for us. This slightly sweet wine is the perfect way to end the summer and welcome the fall season with open arms.

Catherine Malandrino has unleashed the perfect black sweater and pants for the urban professional. This lace trim sweater and black cropped pant is sure to spark talk whereever you wear it. The sweater is a blend of wool, polyamide & spandex. The cropped pants are 100% wool. Together, these two pieces equal one hot look.

Forgive me

You swam whenever you felt like it, got caught in those sudden summer showers without an umbrella, and kept delaying washing your hair because you didn't think you had the time to spare. Now your hair has had enough, has staged a revolt and you don't have the first clue as to what to do to end it.
Well a good start would be to try PhytoSpecific's Vital Force Creme Bath. It provides a deep conditioning that will hydrate and smooth your tired locks. And with any luck, your hair will forgive you for all of your past transgressions in time for the big end of summer party!

Classic with a twist

Not everyone believes in the following but we at StyleFinders agree that this is vitally important: Your bedding wardrobe is just as important as your clothing wardrobe. Truth be told, sometimes it is even more important.

Well as we are in the habit of consistently growing our bedding ensembles, we found these sheets that are a classic with a twist. From Pottery Barn, these white 400 thread count cotton percale sheets are available with a choice of 6 cuff colors and can be monogrammed with your initials. Great for those days when you want to lounge in bed all day while watching television or reading a great book. And to that we say, Enjoy!

It's worth it.

The suit is alive and well for men. Just check out how John Varvatos has made this "the must have look" for work, dinner, dancing, or any excuse you can think of to wear this one at the drop of a dime. Well you will have to drop more than a dime to wear this particular suit, but believe us when we say "it's worth it".

One Thing

Lately the following question has been weighing heavily on our minds: what is the one thing that makes one black suit better than another one? Well after checking out Jean Paul Gaultier's crepe jacket and pants, we know that it lies in the details. From the jackets notched collar, satin waist tie and long sleeves to the flat-front, flared leg pants, we realized that it is the combination of all of the elements that makes the difference between a good suit and one that makes your heart flutter everytime you wear it!

Circles

We are going around in circles over these hoop earrings! Now don't get us wrong, we love all shapes and sizes of hoops BUT...these sterling silver braided hoops from Bottega Veneta give us a warm fuzzy feeling inside. We hope they do the same for you.
