This Weekend I Escaped to Istanbul

Oh how I WISH I was one of those "she's so lucky" types that weekends in the Black Sea, but alas I am purely referring to a candle

Granted this an Archipelago candle (ooh, Greek vocab time. How many Byzantine states can I fit in one post, honey?) so our little Park Slope home took on the sea cliffs of the Istanbul (was Constantinople!) with a heady blend of black cannibus, warm ambers and flush rose leaves. Green and exotic, this scent made the unshakable heat of our New York apartment feel like a divine invitation to wine and Netflix heavy evenings in the a/c

(Turn down the lights, turn down the bed...)

Trust me on this one: Archipelago Istanbul tin candle, $12 for 5.9oz at http://www.archipelago-usa.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductName=Istanbul%20Travel%20Tin 

Get It Get It: Kirna Zabete Tweed Shift on Bib + Tuck

It's cray cray cold out and while we'd all like to wrap up in blankets and boyfriends and forget the day, alas someone gotta pay the electric bill. So it's off to work. Trudge, trudge, trudge. 

But wouldn't it be great to have a new cute as a button tweed and faux leather shift under that wool wonder of coat? 

Plus how easy to play with when it's Spring and Old Man Winter stops torturing our bones?
