Giving Bar Shampoo a Try...???

2012-02-01T23:33:00.000-06:00

Have any of you tried a bar shampoo? We'll I haven't, but I'm taking the lead from Sharon, at What NYC Taught Me, and giving it a try. Why? Well,... instead of the liquid stuff in plastic bottles, people are making the change to reduce waste, so I'm giving it a go. I'll let you know what I think, in a couple of days. I'm very picky about my hair, so it's got to be a great product as well.

I'm giving J.R. Liggett's a try. It's one of my prime deals over at amazon. Have you tried out amazon prime yet? $79.00/yr and then you get free movie streaming and free two day shipping on tons of things. I've found that electronic are where the deals are at, and I love a deal!!!

Angel Court SOHO Fashion Week Event...meet the ladies behind the event {Amy Flurry}

2012-01-31T00:21:00.000-06:00

In just a few days, Angela and I will be heading to New York to work on the finishing touches for our upcoming fashion week event. It's going to be one part Jewelry bar and several parts old fashioned speakeasy. We're promising a night filled with delicious cocktails, gorgeous jewels and live music.

There are several awesome ladies who are helping us to make this event possible, and I will be introducing them to you, through out the week . A couple of them are even crazy enough to have signed on as our housemates for the week.

I'll start today by introducing you to Amy Flurry. When she's not writing for Lucky Magazine, Refinery 29 and various other publications, she is busy with her own endeavors. Amy's recent projects include her new book Recipe for Press (the DIY guide to being your own publicist) and the Paper Cut Project. She's also the mastermind behind the latest Angel Court photo shoot and film. Of course Amy tells her story best, so please enjoy the links I've provided to learn more about her work.

Dinner Party...{Yorkshire Pudding}

2012-01-29T10:53:00.007-06:00

Here's a peak at last nights recipe challenge...Yorkshire Pudding with Bangers and Mash. A very English meal, that was perfect for a cold winter night. I got off easy bringing over the homemade mashed potatoes, while Kim made Yorkshire Pudding for the first time (it was delicious). Can you tell we're big fans of carbs and protein? YUM!!!

Did you know that if you mix potatoes too long, with an electric mixer, they will turn to the consistency of biscuit dough? I didn't until last night, but that's exactly what happened on my second batch {FAIL}. Good thing the first batch was extra yummy! Courtney

Things I'm Luv'n on the Web This Week...

2012-01-28T08:35:00.000-06:00

Hip Hip Hooray!!! The long anticipated weekend is finally here.

What will everyone be doing to celebrate their days off? My weekend ritual is getting together with friends and trying out new recipes. This week we'll be attempting Yorkshire Pudding. A very yummy English treat! I can hardly wait!!!!

Here are a few of my favorites, floating around the web this week. Hope you enjoy them as well.

Visit M Stetson for a tour of the Australian watering hole, The Local Taphouse

Did you catch all the hype of Karl Lagerfields latest launch?...
Face to Face...Karl interviews himself.

I'm not the only one who's crushing on tangerine this week!!!

Check out the goodies at Apartment Therapy.

Wouldn't a tangerine french press be an awesome wake-me-up in the mornings.

Just spotted one of my New York roomies (Anna's on the left), on Apt. 34

Did you catch Anna's tutorial for the perfect bun at Real Simple. Isn't she the cutest!!!

Is anyone else as obsessed with Downtown Abbey, as Angela and I are?

The costume designer is amazing!!!

Happy Weekend,

Courtney

Angel Court Featured on Joor Access

2012-01-27T16:19:00.002-06:00

Anyone with a boutique should check out Joor Access... it's the awesome new online wholesale marketplace for contemporary fashion. We love that they featured one of our hot new items for Spring. Get bold with the new colors at Angel Court.

Sleep No More

2012-01-27T10:28:00.001-06:00

Angela and I are beyond excited to have tickets for Sleep No More. Have you heard of it? Everyone wears a white Venetian mask, while meandering through twisting staircases, spooky hallways, and even an apothecary filled with the aroma of herbs. What you say...well, its a reenactment of Macbeth, where you choose your own experience. As actors wander into a room, you may choose to follow then or head off to search another room or floor of the abandoned McKittrick Hotel. A bit like a haunted house, but way better.

Oh! my dog...the new Longchamp campaign

Tangerine Crush...the next best thing after orange crush eyeliner!

2012-01-26T12:23:00.001-06:00

L'OREAL : Tangerine crush, Rimmel: Steel Grey, L'OREAL: Spice Things Up

So it Looks like I've been in a rut lately...

In every pic I'm wearing my favorite Emerald green polish by Revlon or my other favorite Haze by Revlon. As much as I adore Revlon's Top Speed, it was time to branch out!!!!!! That's why I'm super excited to have just found these fun new shades. So what do you think? Do these colors make a great pallet for that transition from fall to spring?

I think I'll use the new colors to try this look!

...and, maybe I should wear "Tangerine Crush" & "Spice Things Up" for Valentines Day. Lucky me gets to spend the day in my favorite place NYC, taking in fashion week!!!

Strike A Pose & Leave A Note...

2012-01-23T08:37:00.001-06:00

+MANIC MONDAY+
Being up all night, because of the crazy tornadoes, could make for a hectic Monday morning, but I'm opting for coffee in bed. Everything else can wait!!!
Happy Monday everyone.

Here's an idea that will put a smile on your face...Why not create a Polaroid Guest Book Table, for your next party. Have your guest snap a pic of themselves, and leave it along with a little note behind. Much more fun, than a list of names in a guest book.

Who doesn't love instant gratification!!!
I know the Angel Court girls do!

What a great party idea, from Sparkling Foot Steps.

The Goods That Got Us Through Market...

2012-01-22T10:01:00.003-06:00

Kiss My Face: cool mint shaving lotion,Marvis: liquorice toothpaste, Trader Joe's: citrus body wash, shampoo and conditioner, Aveeno: Daily Moisturizing Body Wash

Here's a round-up of the goods that got us through the Atlanta Gift Mart. Looks like all the girls in the Angel Court house packed something infused with "Mint" or "Citrus"...it's how we revive ourselves on those early mornings after a late night... at silent disco.

What's in your bag? We'd love to know what you can't leave home without!!!

NYC: Hint of Mint, Revlon Top Speed: Emerald, Rimmel: Purple Rain, On Nails...Revlon Top Speed: Emerald, Sally Hanson: Nail Effects, Ring, Angel Court

I am not a Piece of Meat

2012-01-14T06:18:00.001-06:00

Lady Gaga MTV Video Music Awards

Just in case you were still wondering?

Lady Gaga,"However, it has many interpretations but for me this evening. If we don't stand up for what we believe in and if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat."

There are so many things I am not. Bravo Lady Gaga, I am not a piece of meat either!

Cheers Angela

No Fear In The New Year...

Just a few pics from our first night out in Atlanta...

Monica and I had a little time to kill before the rest of the gang arrived, so we stopped in at Sister Luisa's Church of The Living Room & Ping Pong Emporium. This place is so quirky? Has anyone been?
