Did you watch the Super Bowl last night?  If so, you had some hilarious ads to distract you from the 7-layer dip and Mike's Hard Lemonade.  This VW Passat commercial starring a mini Darth Vader was my absolute favourite:



Unfortunately I now have to spring for a remote starter system for my minivan, since my 6-year-old son was also watching the commercial and got a few ideas. ...

We're feeling a little retro this weekend, and as the world gears up for another round of Fashion Weeks (although we can't bear to talk Fall/Winter when Spring is still taking it's sweet time to arrive), we take a look at 5 films that captured iconic fashion trends over the decades.

Our blogger besties are talking up luscious lips, Valentine's gifts, and hearty stews this week.

Gifted loves this adorable wooden puzzle that doubles as kid bedroom decor, while Kim Vallee found a nifty way to package Valentine sweets.

Beauty Geek is in Paris, taking the sights and noticing that French women don't do bright lipstick.  It's their loss, n'est-ce pas?

Stars Who Traded Up
You'll have a tough time finding a unified opinion on January Jones' Golden Globes dress (it was a barely-there red number, remember?), but in my humble opinion, I think she...

In New York City, when the subway would smell like hot garbage or the street sweeping trucks would blow debris all over my bare, lotion-covered legs, I’d disappear to a farmhouse in the Vermont countryside.  Not literally, of course, because that would cost time and money, two things I never really had much of when I lived there.

I called it "Farm Fantasy", and mine was pretty perfect: a...

This week, our Style Collective friends are all over the map with a few of our (new) favourite things!

The latest addition to our posse is Sweet Potato Chronicles, and this week they're serving up some scrummy Pumpkin-Gingerbread pancakes (look out, Mommy-to-be!)

Who are you most likely to do a getaway with?  Your boyfriend/husband? Your best girls?  Whomever you are planning an escape with this winter do I have the perfect trip for you!
