A stylish home is a happy home… well, maybe not but it should be! The Chic Retreat offers unique gifts and home decor for every price. As the website says, if you like it, get it or it’s probably gone for good!

I love the 1950s Italian Glass Bottle… the blue reminds me of the ocean.

Also, these Petite Foo Dogs are just ugly enough to be cool… I’d like them for bookends.

Find the bottle – $150 and the dogs -$45 at TheChicRetreat.com.

Three times the fun!

Okay so apparently those annoying ads on Facebook do, occasionally, show something that is worth checking out (I’ll pass on the diet that promises you’ll lose 30 pounds in a week, thanks).

I am digging Tres Royale’s graphic tanks like this one:

Tres Pirata Tank – $26 at TresRoyale.com.

Lipstick Jungle ends on January 9!

Sad, sad, sad… Victory is easily my pick for best dressed tv character. Others include Karen Darling (Dirty Sexy Money), Lily Aldrin (How I Met Your Mother) and Gabrielle Solis (Desperate Housewives).

Whose wardrobe trailer would you like to raid?

Another one bites the dust!

ABC announced that another one of my favorite shows, Dirty Sexy Money, is being cancelled and will air a limited number of episodes. Nooo! I’m hoping that the fabulous Natalie Zea will eat a cheeseburger and find another character that’s every bit as scandalous as the lush Karen Darling she plays now. Five more episodes are slated through 2008 and into 2009.

VHS, cassette tapes, newspapers?

Tribune Co., publisher of the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times sought bankruptcy protection today for their massive $12.9 billion debt. Do you think newspapers are on their way out? With people catching up with their daily news via the Internet and television, newspapers may be expendable to many households now. Do you still read the paper?

Tippin’ ain’t easy

Obviously waiters and bartenders get tipped but are you forgetting someone? Sometimes it’s hard to figure out who you tip and how much to give. Yahoo! posted an article today to help you figure it out. Read it here.

Susan’s style change has been a pleasant surprise in the five years that have elapsed on Wisteria Lane. I loved her Mike and Chris Theodore fleece collared jacket she wore on last night’s episode.

I miss glamourous Gaby!
