Getting Glitzy!


One of our favorite neighborhood bloggers, Nicolette Mason, put together this sparkly gift guide perfect for your best gal - you know that one with the extra sparklin' personality.

PS we also have #5. Deborah Lippmann sparkles, $16-20.

How We Wear It..BEAUTY!


Rachel, Store Manager: My skin is super dry (and super pale!) and sometimes I feel like my pores are so big they resemble what a black hole would look like if you could see them in space. I adore Robert's Rosewater and every night after I wash my face, I dab a little on some cotton and gently dab it on. It shrinks those black holes, I swear! And it smelly pretty, too!!

Ash, Inventory/Merchandising Manager: I LOVE THIS COLOR! The first time I ever tried it I was at a late night pizza party with some other Catbirdettes :) and I fell in love. It's a deep berry purple that looks almost black on first glance. The good thing about it is that you can use it for an interesting French Mani or a Half-Moon Manicure that won't be too severe. You can also just do one coat if you want it to be slightly lighter. I love it for winter+summer and it's definitely one of my favorite Deborah Lippmann shades - the name is kind of a plus too ;-)!

Leigh, Buyer: Hidden beneath beautiful gold paper, Tocca soap is the most luxurious, creamy bar soap stamped with a mermaid ever created. If you were going to spend a weekend in Saint-Tropez with Brigitte Bardot, an armload of these would make the perfect hostess gift. On the off-chance that BB didn't invite you to be her guest in a time machine back to her early 1960's glory days, I'm sure your real life friends would be quite pleased to be handed a Tocca soap wrapped with a pale blue bow.

Rony, Owner: I have been obsessed with Tocca laundry since 2001! I accidentally gave it to my sister TWICE as a gift. Ooops.
Allison, Graphic Designer: I hand wash each of my scarves in my wash tub sink with Touch - my personal favorite scent.

Leigh, Buyer: Having restored my hair to the texture that I was born with, Rodin Hair Oil is one of my indispensables. I put it on my damp hair every morning, and every once in a while I add 10 drops to my conditioner for a deep, moisturizing treatment, and even with all that, a bottle lasts for a good long while. With my incessant chatter about the stuff I've gotten many of my friends, all with totally different sorts of hair, hooked.

Melissa, Sales Associate: The day after purchasing this soap I came to work, skin fresh, radiant, and smooth, gushing to the girls about my $5 miracle soap and even bought another bar for safe keeping. The most amazing part about this soap is that it's versatile - it doubles as a daily cleanser AND a face mast. I cleanse regularly in the morning and do the mask before bed - it takes 5 minutes tops. It has a rich lather, smells delicately of rosewater, and is super gentle on all skin times (I have oily combination skin, fellow bird, Lizzie, has hypersensitive dry skin and I have successfully converted her). So go forth, kittens, 'case at $5 you've got nothing to lose and only pretty to gain!

Ash, Inventory/Merchandising Manager: I'm absolutely the most forgetful person in the world so it's really nice that Lulu Organics makes a travel size of their Lavender Hair Powder. It's teensy tiny but definitely lasts forever. It's a life saver when your hair is a little too smooth or oily. I even put some in my hair when it's clean just to give it a little extra texture and since cold weather is coming I'll definitely be carrying it around more often so I can save myself from getting hat hair every day.

Correy, Public Relations/Wholesale: As a lady who is pretty loyal to a red mani it took me a minute to warm up to the idea of sparkles AND a royal purple on my finger nails but after weeks of seeing each catbird wearing a DL polish with and without sparkles, in a variation of shades I was totally sold. And let me just say sparkles on your fingernails make you feel like a very, verrrry fancy lady!! (Also, the name totally speaks for itself!)

What We Love Today.

My husband is a laundry fanatic, and I'm...not.  The best part of our weekend laundry ritual is siphoning some of my Tocca wash into the machine housing my delicates. I'm maybe too excited about using this new multi pack.

Sunday 14 February 1915

It rained again today. I cleaned silver, which is an easy & profitable thing to do. It so soon shines again. -Diary of Virginia Woolf, vol. 1

Most unlike our contemporary February 14s, I should say, but a pacific & instructive notion. Like hand-washing one's finest in a sudsy, fresh scented tub. Mundane tasks are easily conquered, & don't that feel divine.

Sweet, like mead and mink

la-dolce-vita

Gucci is sponsoring the restoration of La Dolce Vita, and this morning I'm wondering if the vivacious Anita Ekberg would've smelled more like Tocca's Stella or Cleopatra when that little white kitten (or, Marcello) nuzzled in her neck. I'm going to mull it over today with our resident nose, Joanie, who, by the by, has been working her little nostrils into a heavenly fatigue, helping Rony with the Catbird signature candle line. It's coming, and it's going to be grand.
