For May our scent is Lily
of the Valley - 'Opening with warm soft touches of
citrus and bergamot, its heart of overflowing with the beguiling scent
of creamy white flowers; rose, ylang ylang, jasmine and lily of the
valley. The sandalwood and oakmoss in the base strengthen the
composition, giving it persistence and staying power.'

Cannes Best of Show & Style Icon: Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman in L'Wren Scott at Cannes, 2013 |
Nicole Kidman has been one to watch on the red carpet since she was still with Tom Cruise, but her style since their divorce has evolved greatly, as her confidence and fashion savvy have grown. Nicole's height allows her to pull off dramatic gowns, and she knows which colors and textures work with her fair, ginger coloring. This year she joined the jury at Cannes, a professional distinction for her, and she also wore many of our favorite dresses at the Festival. Below are some of her all time best looks, as well as the fabulous ensembles she wore to show up almost everyone else at Cannes.

Recipe: Club Sauce
In honor of today's return of Arrested Development, we wanted to offer a recipe that its characters might enjoy (other than vodka rocks, toast, cornballs, or frozen bananas), that could accompany a marathon viewing of the new season. Club Sauce, first mentioned in the episode Burning Love, seemed like the right choice, since, as you can tell from Gob's dramatic reading of the menu, the condiment goes with everything. Be sure to have unlimited juice alongside...
Ingredients:
