There’s been lots happening here at One Brown Cow at the start of the new year. We’ve been busy sourcing new products for the new year and have some wonderful things to offer from both existing and new suppliers.

In candles, we’ve expanded the range of scented candles we offer from lily Flame and now also stock a selection of Lily Flame room sprays including the popular Wild Jasmine.

Noi notecards, notebooks and greetings cards are a new range for 2009. The bright bold floral designs are just fabulous and with the plain paper notebooks at just £2.25 they are excellent value for money too.

Staying with social stationery, we have continued to expand the range of Art Angel, Angie Lewin and St Jude’s products we carry in stock and on-line. With new greetings card designs from artists including Mark Hearld, Jonny Hannah, Christoper Brown and Angie Lewin as well as a new range of notebooks and sketchbooks from St Jude’s.

A recent delivery of wheat filled doorstops by Pins and Ribbons has filled the shop! Handmade in England from top quality fabrics, these stops weigh in at around 2kg, more than enough to keep open a heavy door.

Our cosmetics range continues to grow. Burt’s Bees joined us at the end of 2008 and we are now currently expanding our stock of this popular range. As always, Bomb Cosmetics continue to be popular as gifts and Nougat Body and Home are tops when it comes to that personal little treat. Try their hand creams, our shop customers just love this creamy smooth hand cream scented with either Tuberose and Jasmine or Fig and Pink Cedar.

Fried Green Wednesdays aren’t the same without a post from Mo. In her honor, today I am sharing some “Mo Eye Art!”  Here is her description:

I have decided to name this one “Flight of the Bumblebee“. See, waaaay too much free time! Whatever keeps me out of trouble I suppose. This is my Lancome duo that I ordered from overseas off eBay, never released in the US. Yes, I have a serious cosmetics problem….

If you have watched the movie “The Happening,” the topic of CCD, or Colony Collapse Disorder in our Honeybee population was brought up by the main character who is a high school teacher (played by Mark Wahlberg) in his biology class.  Albert Einstein made the statement, ”If honey bees become extinct, human society will follow in four years.”  CCD, or Colony Collapase Disorder is not a dreamed up movie plot; it is actually happening. And several organizations (including beauty blogs) are spreading the word and investing in research to solve the puzzle.

And another way to save the bees is to try Haagen-Dazs newest premium ice cream flavor: vanilla honey bee ice cream! This ice cream is vanilla with a touch of golden honey. Haagen-Dazs is also funding research to protect disappearing honey bee populations.

Don’t worry, bee happy!  Sorry, couldn’t resist with another bee pun.

I favor the color black with punchy colors and offbeat combinations in work and my personal wardrobe. I love the unexpected: incorporating color with neutrals, mixing periods and having fun with style. Even in my home, my interiors are sophisticated, but there is a sense of humor to them. Being creative is my job, and looking good and feeling good is an important part to it. Living in Orange County, CA in a city run rampant with Juicy Couture sweat suits, flip-flops, and Los Scandalous (L.A.) as its neighbor, I like to set myself apart by favoring more electric and playful designers like Anna Molinari. L.A. has such a relaxed vibe, but I like to dress up the majority of the time.

I have been receiving a lot of personal email, especially the ones asking for tips and advice of my own style, not just on the people I like to write about! I weeded through a few and here are my responses:

How would you describe your style? An electric mix of vintage, modern, and designer. It’s different every day and I don’t believe in uniforms. Sometimes I am dressy, sometimes casual.

Who is your fashion icon? This is easy, Jane Birkin! I admire her style and direction. She saw the beauty in everything around her. I liked that she was a major risk taker and you cannot move beyond a certain point if you don’t take risks.

Beauty Essential? Eye cream. I have applied it three times a day since high school graduation. I carry the sample size tubes in my purse and re apply just a dab after lunch. Otherwise for day I use Estee Lauder’s Daywear because it has SPF and Kiehls Abyssine for night. It must be the texture but I reach for Kiehls on a regular basis.

Crystal in my cabinet? I don’t use that word as it reminds me too much of my mom’s formal hutch as a child. I prefer the colorful patterns and designs of Versace china and it’s fine to use it for everyday use. Why only use china for special occasions?

Favorite Fashion Haunts? Buffalo Exchange in Costa Mesa, Darewear in Huntington Beach, and Fred Segal in L.A.

Most Recent Purchase? Bottega knot keyring and Burt Bees lipbalm

Worn to Shreds? Marc Jacobs two tone heels

Signature Scent? Frangipane by Chantecaille

Affordable Fashion Thrill? Urban Outfitters and Target
