We’re all too familiar with Beyonce‘s song “Put A Ring On It” – now there’s a fun new brand that puts a ring IN it. Diamond Candles are just that – a line of all-natural, eco-friendly soy candles with a surprise ring inside each candle, valued at $10, $100, $1,000, or $5,000. It’s like a modern day box of Crackerjacks, except, of course you can’t eat the contents. But you’ll almost want to with yummy scents like ‘Carnival Candy‘, ‘Cupcake‘, ‘Stawberry Bliss‘ and ‘White Chocolate‘. There’s...  Read More..

If you follow What’s Haute then you know that one of our favorite stores is Zara. The fast-fashion retailer is the best place to find on-trend pieces along with classics and at pretty affordable prices. We’re in Zara just about every week, coming out with new pairs of pants, blazers, dresses, shoes, scarves and all sorts of other amazing stuff! But one thing we don’t get to buy is home goods, and Zara sells them – everywhere but the U.S. Zara Home is available throughout Europe and if you’re a fan of Zara’s clothes, chances are you’ll love their home goods...  Read More..

Chalk this up as a “why didn’t we think of that?” find. The Coil Lamp by designer Craighton Berman takes the most basic of ideas and turns it into a DIY home treasure. It’s basically an extension cord, Plexiglass base and a bulb. Buy the cord of your choice, wrap it around the base and voila! – you’ve got a lamp you designed yourself! (Without a messy cord to trip over.) Berman says, “The first step is to pour yourself a drink. You will complete your Coil Lamp in the time it takes you to finish that beverage.” It doesn’t get any better than that. $79,...  Read More..

Checking for new Target designer collaborations has become almost part of my routine, like having a morning cup of coffee. I look forward to it, I get excited over it, and I can’t wait till the next one! I heard about the Calypso for Target collaboration a few months ago but just recently received images of it and, like my next cup of coffee, am anxiously awaiting its arrival. Calypso St. Barth is known for its luxury resort wear and the Calypso St. Barth for Target collection features the same types of resort-style fashion apparel and accessories (for women, girls and babies), plus home...  Read More..

If someone told me I’d be spending a morning chatting with one of the original Charlie’s Angels and eating a meal cooked by Oprah’s own former personal chef, I’d say they were lying. But that’s exactly what happened several weeks ago. I was invited to attend Sears’ Home For The Holidays event hosted by celebrity Chef Art Smith and actress/designer Jaclyn Smith at Tribeca Skyline Studios. The morning started off with a cooking presentation by Art and Jaclyn – spicy chicken and shrimp gumbo for breakfast is better than you might think! Then we had a chance...  Read More..
