Every year we try a new spot for apple picking and this year was the best yet. Not far from the city - about a half an hour - is Melick's Farm in Oldwick New Jersey. It's one of the most beautiful spots I've seen, with views to die for and rows and rows of apples. It's a giant farm so when you find your favorite type of apple (all rows are well labeled), you can have a nearly private family experience, rather than a fight-for-your-food afternoon. There is delicious apple cider, your pick of pumpkin and a small playground on the premises so that any extra energy can be swiftly burned off on the swing and slide.  Visit Melick's Town Farm.

Take it as a complement.


Ugly Dolls: the newest addition to the Ugly family is the Ugly Ghost, just in time for the October festivities. We love him dearly, but do find him hard to dress in our window. His narrow little head disappears quickly within hats and hoodies droop over his eyes. He's best with his pointy little noggin unadorned, much to our chagrin. Get spooked with the Ugly Ghost

Ugly Duck: always a favorite at Babesta, this Scandinavian line of baby, boys and girls clothes sport a cheeky duck who's protruding tongue is Rolling Stones ready. The level of detail on the line is amazing - all of the embroidery and finishings are top notch  and the designs make us smile.Open up and say Ugly Duck!

So we just got Totem, a Hip from Holland building product in and we opened one right up and went to work. Using recycled cardboard in colorful squares, kids (and adults) can piece together neat shapes like flying houses, Arabian horses and airplanes. This is a fun, functional and eco friendly option for chilly day pastimes. It entertained our stylist Chandra for a few hours- she was able to piece together several different impressive shapes with the box!
