Product Review: Paul & Joe Spring 2014 Eye Color Trio in Cherry Blossom (and Cat Compact!)
Sometimes, on a cloudy and frigid late-winter day when you’re feeling down, you just have to buy something completely self-indulgent and light-hearted. (Well, maybe you don’t, but I do!)

Happy 2014!

You can view the limited-edition Uniqlo x Ladurée collection at the Uniqlo website.

I just thought you’d want to know about this.

Still, it was a scary twenty-four hours or so, as the skies turned dark and the eye of the storm moved up the coast into the NYC metro area.
Here are five things that helped keep me calm and comfortable during that windy day and night.
