One Sweet Word: CUPCAKES


Rumor has it that free cupcakes will be given to the first 1000 people on the grand opening which is this month..You have been warned. As the mayor-ette of Larchmont it is only right that I let you know, Crumbs a family operated bakeshop from New York, is opening their second location (1st in Beverly Hills) on this lovely street.
With flavors such as Oreo, Caramel Apple, and Reese's Peanut Butter cupcake, Sprinkles might have some competition on their hands. The ultimate test for me will be their red velvet. Just when I was thinking how perfect and appropriate a cutesy kitschy bake shoppe would be on Larchmont, a birdie came and whispered the good news in my ear. Now if I can only get the exact date of the opening so that I can make sure to welcome the new neighbor with open arms not to mention my eager sweet tooth ;)

To Die For

These gems are crafted and designed by none other than Chrissie Morris. In her words, "My shoes are for women like me, my mother, my sister—strong women with strong personalities, who like beautiful things." Now all the women I know are quite the strong women with strong personalities and love love love and adore beautiful things. So needless to say our cute and freshly pedicured feet need to find a home within at least one pair of Morris' masterpieces. Or at least keep abreast of this young talented designer.










Relax & Recylce

Cardboard Robot has gone from wallets to now custom made furniture. Reminiscent of Frank Gehry like design, made of glue & cardboard, hence the name. The uber color pads add a nice touch and bit of comfort. Now, one may ask how such furniture would hold up human weight. I can assure you from personal experience having sat on something similar at R-23 (hidden sushi spot in downtown LA) that my derriere and all the rest held up just fine. All pieces are made to order starting at $250 ranging from a single chair, love seat, sofa and shelves.
