Bonfaire GIVEAWAY

It's almost 2013! A brand new year. And I am about to talk about a brand new website that has just popped onto the online scene. Bonfaire is a members only site that provides a sneak peek of the hottest designers newest items. Think Foley + Corinna, Marchesa, and Zac Posen. And the kicker is that the items are pre-order. So if you see something you love, you pay for half of it, then wait about a month, pay the other half, and then it comes in! So, it's sort of like designer layaway. Hey-oh.

"At Bonfaire we showcase the next season’s hottest shoes, handbags and accessories from the world’s most luxurious fashion designers, all available for pre-order.
Bonfaire not only gives you an exclusive first look but also first access to shop these incredible collections. We bring you inside the designers’ showrooms and let you become the buyer — you get to lock in your must-haves before they are sold out for the season. (Some products are exclusive to Bonfaire and will not be available through other channels here in the United States.)
Bonfaire focuses exclusively on accessories and we are obsessed with finding you the best. There are no “endless aisles” on Bonfaire — only a well-edited selection of the most incredible and unique items made by the premier designers from New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Milan, and other exciting locales.
We showcase designers who adhere to high standards when it comes to both taste and quality, and who exude a level of artisanal craftsmanship. We’ll nurture your love affair with brands you already know and introduce you to fabulous designers who will become your new favorites.
You already make your own statement — let Bonfaire provide the punctuation."
And now I've teamed up with Bonfaire to offer one lucky Coffee and Cashmere reader a $100 gift card to order anything their little heart desires. 

The only thing you have to do is go HERE to sign up. That's it! The contest ends on Monday, January 7th, 2013. One winner will be picked Tuesday, January 8th, 2013.

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Let's count down together and bring tons of love into 2013.

Noodle Ninjas


Are you ready for some serious nomz? Enter Cold Thai Noodle Salad. It's ideal to make a big batch and save it in the fridge. Then when that hunger strikes, this stuff is a pretty perfect fighter. Like noodle ninjas. 

Cold Thai (Ninja) Noodle Salad
|| ingredients ||

(salad)
1 package of Noodles 
Tomato
1 Cucumber
1 bag of Shredded Carrots
Cilantro
Toasted Sesame Seeds

(dressing)
1/3 c. Rice Vinegar
1/3 c. Soy Sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Oil
2 cloves minced Garlic
Juice from one Lime
2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
Red Pepper Flakes to taste

- Prepare noodles according to their directions. While those are doing their thang, chop up your tomato, cucumber, and cilantro.

- Whip up the dressing in a bowl. Stir with a whisk.

- After the noodles are done cooking, drain and rinse with cold water. Be extra sure to drain the noodles extremely well. Soggy noods don't go well with this salad. Toss in the tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, and carrots. Then pour over the dressing. 

- Now that all the ingredients have met and are all bff, put the salad in the fridge and chill for about an hour. Or, for those of us who aren't patient, serve immediately with toasted sesame seeds.

3rd Birthday Invites? What?!


Adrienne is about to be three. THREE. Hold the phone and shut the front door. Where has my little roly poly baby gone? The one that couldn't talk or walk and pooped in her diaper? Well, that baby fat fat is no where to be found. She's turned into a slender sized, more grown up version with actual demands besides milk. And she vocalizes them. On the reg.

Like how my kiddo was dead set on a Strawberry Shortcake party months ago. I'm not really a big fan of character parties. So, I'm trying to make this bash up to her par, but just not over do it with the little red-headed strawberry smelling girl.

Her invites where made by the brilliant Blissfully Noted. These cards came in and were even more beautiful than I had expected. They are super thick and sturdy, plus Strawberry Shortcake isn't the first thing you see. One of my silly girlfrands even said she smelled the card because she was sure it was berry scented. That's how amazing these invites are.

The packaging the invites came in was equally wonderful. Blue chevrons with green striped string and pink tissue paper? Yes. Please. I love a good presentation.








Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Invitations c/o Blissfully Noted. These are by far my favorite invites we've ever had.

Oh and I obviously photo-shopped out my addy on the inside of the card and the return sticker pictured above. Can't have any wackadoos showing up at my door.
