Being in the creative field provides many outlets of expression. What I find to be lovely may appear ordinary to you & vice versa, it is all in the eye of inspiration. What works for me is details & graphics, as I am constantly in search of texture & textiles, for things that are different & inspired by the past & brought future forward, for beauty that touches my soul's core.
~Routine, Let's face it!~What's really great about the same o' same o'!

My powder room, 5:45 a.m. 12/27/2010 |
It's funny how we get into a routine, and it automatically becomes second nature to us!
As I am preparing for my day, something clicked as I brushed my teeth!
My powder room has three floating shelves instead of a traditional medicine cabinet, so everything is rather exposed. As I brushed my teeth, I actually took noticed of all the things required to really keep a healthy glow! As an avid skincare user, my motto is 'good skin, very little makeup', and to achieve such one must keep a routine, the one I use has not deviated that much for years, well, unless a product was discontinued, but I still kept it solid.
What is your routine?
Are there certain products that you can not do without?
P.S. Let's not forget what we put inside too! I do not eat fried foods, and eat a lot of antioxidant foods.....I'm just saying....the inside shows on the outside too.....:)
To the following companies & spas below, my face & well-being thanks you!

Oscar De La Renta Spring 2011 Runway Show~A Look Forward!~
8:32 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie WoodroffeI have been fortunate enough through my travels to meet some pretty amazing people in my life; Estee` Lauder, Sam Walton, James Earl Jones, Patti LaBelle, and Oscar de la Renta to name a few! However, the latter is one of my most favorite designers, as well as one of the nicest, most humble people on the planet!
With cold weather bracing upon us, we must keep in thought a wish for a quick & mild Winter!
I feel the best way to get through Winter is planning the ultimate Spring wardrobe, or just dreaming about it works too!....the beauty of life is choice!
Enjoy!
Click Please!
How I love our spring –
The bold and sleeker feel I get,
An inner glow, a ring!
I’ve paid the winter’s chilly debt, so
Now, upon the wing!

Give a Gift to Gab about! ~The Conran Shop~ For the witty sophisticate!
10:23 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie WoodroffeIt has been many years since I first graced the doors of The Conran Shop in Marylebone, London! However, every year around holiday time, I make it my duty to either grace the doors of the New York store, or enjoy the ease of avoiding the cold, sipping Matcha tea & scanning through the website whilst in bed!
The Conran Shop is the perfect place to find the gift for the person who really does have everything! From great hostess gifts to cheeky works of cleverness, something can be found for every age group!

Fake it 'til you're taken! ~Ms. Taken~ Fake Engagement Rings! What awesome fun!!
7:44 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe Why do I find this ring hilariously fun?
Because so many people (mostly guys) think that not wearing a ring means being desperately single, therefore totally available to be harassed!
Especially guys who are pumped up on a mixture of testosterone, beer & another round of beers!
But flirting is all in good fun, and wearing a Ms. Taken ring is all in good humor!
Plus it's pretty!
Not only does it come with a key chain/compact jeweled case....
(most every girlie girl loves her sparkles!)....but you also get a set of Playaz cards to help spot, well, Players....like Unwanted Suitors "Mr. Billy Bob Nascar & Mr. Jamaall That! (I once dated him!) Click Here mstaken.com
