LOL with Fine Whine paper goods…win a set of cocktail napkins!
September 18, 2008 by Haidee · 10 Comments
I recently came across the most delightful little cocktail napkins with what looked like traditional monograms, but upon second glance, turned out to be outrageous acronyms representing some oh-too-true statements.
DIET: Did I eat that? PMS: Peculiar Mental State RICH: Relax, It’s Cocktail Hour!

White House Black Market comes to Charlottesville - enter to win a $10 gift certificate!
July 30, 2008 by Haidee · 8 Comments
As a gal who likes to shop, I am thrilled about the arrival of another option for finding classic, reasonably priced clothes. If you’ve read my thoughts on shopping, you’ll know that, while I enjoy investing in a gorgeous piece of clothing every now and then, I also want to buy closet staples at a decent price. And dresses that can be worn to tailgates where beer will inevitably be spilled. So I welcome White House Black Market with open arms.
In the past, WHBM has been a bit too fuddy duddy for me. A little too Momish. They carry skorts for goodness sake! (No offense, Mom) However, I recently perused their website and found lots of cute things that I would absolutely wear. Read more
CvilleStyle Spotlight: Blue Ridge Eco Shop & Eco Giveaway!
July 15, 2008 by Haidee · 22 Comments
I stopped in the Blue Ridge Eco Shop today to buy a can of paint. Not only was I happy to bypass the hellish experience that is the Lowes paint counter, but, more importantly, I was on a mission for non-toxic, zero VOC. I found the perfect teal for my powder room, and I left the Blue Ridge Eco Shop more informed about some of the everyday products I use and how they affect the planet and my health.
While I’ve not yet purchased “bgreen” undies, I do try to be as eco-friendly as possible. It can be challenging, though, with all the big box retailers and their ”bigger and cheaper” merchandising strategy. Sadly, you often have to make more of an effort to buy a product that is kind to the earth and your body. Thankfully, the Blue Ridge Eco Shop is making it easier, and more stylish.
