Since last year my daughters and I have worked with Tea to model their current collection’s fashions. It started last spring, ran into last summer and now my girls are going to model Tea’s new spring collection that is inspired by Bali.

We received my youngest daughter’s shipment on Friday and my oldest daughter’s shipment will be arriving soon as well. They cannot wait to show their new clothes off and I can’t wait to share them with you!

Above you’ll see some of Tea’s new tees and dresses. Aren’t they beautiful?

Must-Have Mondays: Waldorf Hilton London

by Jennifer James

If you follow me on Twitter or read my other blog, Jennifer James Online, you know that I recently traveled to London on business. It was a quick trip that I decided to take at the spur of the moment. Luckily for me I was able to save $900 through Travelocity (love them!) and scored a great room at the Waldorf Hilton. Yes, it sounds rather grand, but judging by the time of year I went to the UK the prices were extremely reasonable, inexpensive even.

My room at the Waldorf exceeded all of my expectations. This was my very first time in England so I really didn’t know what to expect, but the room was fantastic! Sure, I have stayed in better hotels than the Waldorf Hilton, but for the price I paid it was superb. The room was clean, had US electrical outlets if you forget to bring an adapter, had great customer service and delightful room service. I loved it! The only thing I found lacking was the lobby that is wholly underwhelming. They can do so much better with the decor.

Now…for the photos!

The room. I loved that there was a robe waiting for me! Lovely touch.

Must-Have Monday: Chanel’s Ombre d’Eau (Liquid Eyeliner)

by Jennifer James


I have probably talked about this before, but I cannot rave about Chanel’s iridescent eye shadow enough. I have three colors and carry them with me everywhere I go!

The liquid liner is extremely easy to apply and if you mess up, simply dab it with a tissue to fix the mistake. Chanel’s Ombre d’eau comes in a variety of shades and they look amazing on!

The Strand Hotel

by Jennifer James

I love staying in hotels. I travel so often that it’s my hotel experiences that color my stay in a city. Since I am in New York quite often I have stayed at many a hotel. On one of my recent stays in New York I called The Strand Hotel home for a few days.

There are two things I look for first in a hotel: cleanliness and space. While my room at The Strand wasn’t huge, it was big enough for me because I wasn’t going to be in my room a lot anyway. And, the best part? The room and bathroom were both immaculate. I can’t ask for anything more than that. So without further ado…photos from my stay.

The only thing I didn’t like about The Strand is it’s on a side street and there weren’t very may taxis. That can be a pain. Plus, a lot of the taxi drivers didn’t want to do local rides. Other than that, it’s a great hotel if you don’t mind the possibility of having to walk to the main street to grab a cab if the doorman isn’t available.
