Ilsa Loves Rick at Eloise in Charlottesville, VA

I am thrilled to announce that the Ilsa Loves Rick line is now available at Eloise in Charlottesville, VA, one of my very favorite stores!  The first time I stumbled upon this perfectly curated shop was in the fall of 2006 when they were still located in Charlottesville downtown walking mall and I was smitten at first site.  Carrying Tila March bags before they had a toe hold state side and Clare Vivier bags before they took the market by storm, there isn't a season that goes by where I don't wish I lived within driving distance to do some serious shopping.  Owned and operated by mother-daughter duo Cyd McClelland and Amy Kolbrener, Eloise takes its name from Amy's favorite childhood book.  Eloise has been setting the standard for Charlottesville fashion since 1999.

Covetable...Sea Salt Soap

This amazing soap import from Sweden has quickly found a cult following in the US. My darling husband gifted me a bar in my Christmas stocking this year, and I was smitten at once.  Delicious fragrance and large pieces of sea salt (the perfect exfoliant) will have you using this day and night.  I buy it by the case.
