I heart Emily
I haven't loved the show Design Star this season, but I HAVE absolutely loved and adored contestant Emily. So I've been watching only for her, and here she is in the top two. Yay! Her style is right up my alley, and I adore the room she just did this past Sunday. Check it out:

Pure Genius
I have to share some pure genius from Eddie Ross. He just put up this great inexpensive room he did for The Nest and I adore it. (click to make bigger)
Oh how I love a great makeover that looks much more expensive than it was. Great job, Eddie!

My Favorite Candles
I really really love candles. More specifically - I love expensive candles.
If you read the blog you know that I'm very budget conscious. However, there are some things that I believe one should spend a little more on for better quality. "Luxury" candles last longer, burn cleaner, and most importantly... smell better! And trust me on this, once you start buying nice candles, you cannot go back to the cheap ones.
Here are some of my favorite candles that I have loved over the years and believe are worth the splurge! I'm listing them by price (low to high), and including their scent profiles (taken from their websites).
"Not familiar with Fig? Fig is a luscious, deeply satisfying fruit scent. Travel outside the ordinary, try Mediterranean Fig – You will be pleasantly surprised!"
3. NEST Pink Jasmine - $32.00
"Nest Pink Jasmine candle is a delicate pink jasmine blended with fragipani flower and peony with under-notes of cashmere wood and white musk."
4. Gianna Rose Orchid & Honeysuckle - $32
"Notes of tropical orchid and vibrant honeysuckle create a seaside retreat for the senses."
5. Delirium Scarlet Grapefruit - $38
"Delirium & Co. Scarlet Grapefruit candle is a crisp sensual merger of ruby red grapefruit, red currants, apple, mandarin, jasmine and amber. A sweet and slightly tart arrangement." - Pretty much my favorite candle EVER.

Do you have any favorite scents that you think I should try out? I'm always looking to grow my candle hoarding collection. I tend to gravitate towards clean (grapefruit, citrus), floral (jasmine, lilac) and sometimes spicy or musky (fig, currant). Also - I'm looking for the perfect "fall" candle that has a touch of pumpkin and spice to it.
