Keeping Up With CARMAR

I was beyond ecstatic when I saw that LF launched the ground-breaking CARMAR Denim Fall 2012 look book featuring ultra 'it' girls, Kendall and Kylie Jenner! Let's be honest... reality TV is an addiction that most of us suffer from, and Keeping Up With the Kardashians is one of the main culprits! While the older three girls get most of the attention, I always love seeing what these two younger, stylish and fearless sisters are up to!

If you haven't heard of CARMAR denim... let me fill you in. This Los Angeles made denim line is an up and coming premium denim brand catered to the free-spirited generation of today. CARMAR stands for it's youthful styling, unparalleled assortments, and cutting-edge appeal. The core collection comprised of denim and jeggings has evolved through its groundbreaking discovery of rayon and tencel denim. These fabrications entice the carefree attitude of the CARMAR girl who always looks for style and comfort, AND you can find their Fall 2012 collection available now EXCLUSIVELY at LF!

Check out the full look book below ...

(the very last look on Kendall Jenner is my favorite!)

New Gluten-Free Bakery Fills Old Orange Cup Space!

Everyone always asks me... "What is going to go into the old Orange Cup space??" Well, I'm finally able to let the cat out of the bag! I'm so excited to announce that Tu-Lu's Gluten-Free Bakery is coming to West Village THIS MONTH and we are thrilled!!  

I have personally tried most of her products (for research, of course) and I can tell you that I couldn't even tell that they were gluten-free. That is what I love most about Tu-Lu's... I don't have to sacrifice flavor just because it's gluten-free! Not only that, but they also have dairy-free and vegan cupcakes and donuts (for all you crazy vegans)!

Former Orange Cup Space

Founder, Tully Phillips, created Tu-Lu's after being diagnosed with gluten intolerance and was forced into a gluten-free lifestyle. Phillips found gluten-free alternatives to all of her favorite foods, but when it came to baked goods she couldn't find any products that compared to the cupcakes and cookies of her past. Taking matters into her own hands she experimented with different blends of flour and finally came up with recipes for cookies, brownies and cupcakes that were just as delicous as products containing wheat!

Tully's business partner, Jennifer Wells, eliminated gluten from her diet after being diagnosed with Celiac disease in 2009. She became a huge advocate of a gluten free lifestyle after feeling the positive effects on her own health. Both women are passionate and strive to make products that everyone can enjoy regardless of their diet, allergies or restrictions... and it shows!

Tully Phillips and Jennifer Wells

Take a look at a few of the mouthwatering treats you can look forward to tasting at Tu-lu's....

BLACK FOREST, chocolate cake topped with cherries and cream cheese icing

Cake Balls in the case, PUMPKIN, ROCKY ROAD, CONFETTI, PEANUTBUTTER TOFFEE

PUNPKIN LATTE, pumpkin espresso buttercream sprinkled with cinnamon over chocolate cake

Chocolate Cake w/ GERMAN CHOCOLATE Icing

PEANUT-BUTTER CAKE with Chocolate Ganache Icing and a Peanut-Butter Drizzle
