A few things on my radar this Friday:
- Lumira launched a new line called Paradisium with an Eau de Parfum, Hand & Body Cream and Candle. I’ve been wearing the fragrance for the past few days and am in love, more on this soon.
- As cooler weather is starting to arrive in Southern California, I like to keep warm with a lightweight wrap, these Nordstrom Tissue Weight Wool and Cashmere Wraps make it to my list every year, I’ve gone through several different colors, this year I’m eyeing the greys.
- Tatcha Holiday Gift Sets are absolutely gorgeous, this Golden Glow Beauty Set looks like a winner (note quantities are limited).
- Diptyque and Tomas Maier have collaborated to create three new limited-edition candles, they will be available at all the Diptyque boutiques and Tomas Maier store on Madison Ave in New York. The three scents are reminiscent of places dear to him, where he spends part of each year. These include the barrier island of Palm Beach (PB), a coastal north Atlantic island in Maine (WDR), and a bluff top lair at the extreme point of Long Island (OMH). Available soon. More info on Architectural Digest.
- By Terry has a set of five lip items in the Baume de Rose Color Collection – Rare Edition set. Available at Barneys and Space NK.
- This Tory Burch compact zip leather pouch looks perfect for storing the essentials on-the-go. Also loving the fun colors in this colorblock version.
- Violet Grey has a multitude of boxed gift sets for the holiday that come packaged in a sleek patent zip pouch and beautiful white boxes.
TGIF! Hope you have a great weekend 🙂


The By Terry are on my radar too. I have a feeling I should hurry up and get it as it will probably sell out. I got an email from Tom Ford today (the website not the man unfortunately) and am intrigued by the "Lips & Boys" being released on 11/28/14. Looks like a new lipstick formula and shades. The promo film is quite enticing. Definitely on my radar. Can't wait!
I was thrilled with the variety of Tatcha gift sets. A number of them will be making it onto my gifting list :-). As for Nordstrom's tissue weight wraps, it seems like every year there is a new color to entice me and so I have quite a collection. They're just perfect for So Cal winters which tend to be much more moderate than winter throughout the rest of the country.
Hi Jo,
I also saw the Lips & Boys video and can hardly wait to see the collection. I wonder if the lipsticks will be in one of TF's established formulas or if there will be something new.
Some fun goodies here. I quite fancy the scarf especially today which is actually quite cold. Regards.
Do you know what formula the By Terry set is in? They look like lipglosses, so I wasn't sure.
Hi Eileen, I did some searching and found out the Lips & Boys are 50 mini lipsticks priced at $32 each. Some re-premotes and some new shades. It looks like it is the original formula. Some lucky ladies will be getting a boxed set of all 50 which I believe will only be available on tomford.com on November 28 only. I believe there will be other boxed sets where you can choose three of the shades. Whoopie! Tom is keeping us on our toes with all his new promotions!
Hi Jo,
I just read WWD's burb about the collection. TF's inspiration for releasing a collection of minis was the slim clutches and small handbags that have been so in fashion. Leave it to a fashion designer to connect the dots! 🙂 There will be a few repromoted LEs and some of his new mattes, but it looks like the vast majority will be new colors in his original formula. I can hardly wait! When the collection hits counter late in December, I hope it will be at Neiman's Beverly Hills or, even better, Neiman's in Topanga. Yes, our boy Tom is certainly keeping us on our toes 🙂
Hi Jo, it's me again. The delightful Sara (Color Me Loud) gave me a link to the collection that was posted on Beauty Scene. It's spectacular!

Thanks for the heads up about the new Diptyques. They all sound simply amazing. I can never resist a new Diptyque.
I need #5!
