Random hearts: Yuummmmy...Super hearting rainy days!

Who said..."Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down..."...oh yeah...the Carpenters!

They are totally right about the Monday thing...but rainy days?

No way!!!...They are fantasmic!

Well, we guess sometimes they get us down... but since we live in the old Lala land and we rarely get rain ....we lurve them!

We heart rainy days for oh sooo many reasons...they are like a license to chill!

They are the perfect excuse to shuffle around the house in toasty roasty socks, wrap your self up in your cutest coats and scarves and drive around with the heat up, or wear bright and fun tights under everything and no matter what you'll look super cute.

Rainy days make you want to never leave the house? Then don't!

Here are a few ridiculously amazing reasons to stay in and enjoy the gift of the rainy day...you're welcome!

Netflix....

Um hello?

Millions of Dvds straight to your mailbox in 1 day? Yes please!

P.S. Yes..we know it's not a new thing but getting 1 on a rainy Tuesday in your mailbox is like a gift from the rain goddesses...

Ok...now here is a newer "invention" if you will that is perfect for a rainy day...

Grub Hub.

Just punch in your address (from coast to coast!) and up pops menus, reviews and deals of restaurants in your town that deliver directly to your door!

Yes...lazy is my middle name...well on rainy days at least ;)

Now if you are the type that feels guilty being inside when in rains because you are not getting stuff done, then Martha has the thing just for you...

Organize it!
Go to Martha Stewart and she will show you truly "good" ways to transform and organize all your spaces...even your medicine cabinets and undie drawers.

Now if we could only find someone to do it for us...hmmmmmmmm

We totally heart lighting candles, as we have mentioned before, but there is nothing like a great smelling candle filling up your home with a terrific scent on a gloomy day...
This black Baies Diptyque candle is sooooooooooooo yummers...it's like making out for the first time... with out the uncomfortableness of bumping braces.

Suuuuper soft robes....ahhhhhhhh just saying that makes us feel snuggly on this cold and wet night.

We found these unbelievably soft and crazy sexy robes at Victoria's Secret.

Throw one of these sweater robes on with a pair of your partners socks and they will be at your side to keep you warm in no seconds flat!

Speaking of cuddling...the #1 thing to do on a rainy day is CUDDLE!

It doesn't have to be a partner...you can snuggle and cuddle with anyone!

Can't stay in and enjoy the amazingness of being indoors on a stormy day? Here are a few helpers to make your day brighter and waaay more fun...while braving the wet weather...

No matter how many rainy days your city gets or doesn't get, every cutie mcgootie needs a pair of rain boots!!!!

Hello favorite boots for anytime of the year..these gorge bright pink Hunter boots are the toast of the town...wear with everything..even shorts (yes in the rain! Why not?!? You have the tallest and chicest rain boots around!)

Jump in every puddle, cross every rushing river rain gutter and look crazy hot doing it.

We secretly heart these (well) heart rain boots...they will bring you right back to 3rd grade...but in a really good way....

No mean boys to break your spirit and no unsuccessful trades of your sack lunch when your friend has a Ding Dong and you are stuck with a box of raisins again. Just super cute boots.

Oooops! What good are super cute (and dry) feet if your hair is a mess? Keep your hair in tip top shape and your fav cold weather coat dry with an uber cute umbrella.

zefrank.com

They are sooo underrated, but how many times do you see that crazy sassy gal whistling down the street with her oh so amazing umbrella...

Have no fear lovelies...we found a few chic options for you...

"Oh...ahhaha...I'm not Coco Chanel's grand daughter...it's just a uber tres chic vintage-esque umbrella"

Still bummed your outside on such a gloriously gloomy day? Pull this bad boy over your head and see crystal blue skies all day!

We are soooo in heartville with Marimekko print umbrella...uuugghhhh it's soooo good!

This will even cheer up the day of the passers by...

Don't want to have to worry about the humidity and your ever growing 'fro?

Throw on this cashmere (yum) beanie from J Crew and you are GTG! Oh, and hi it's only $9.99!!!!

P.S. If you have to go outside on a rainy day and you have no umbrella or cap...don't forget your waterproof mascara!

And here are a few songs for your rainy day mix tape, weather you are drivin' around... or cleaning house...or just snugglin'...

(yes...TK we know it's whetherbut we are talking about rain!...hee hee)

Madonna

Singing in the Rain

Decor to Die For: Baby come and light my fire...We heart Luxurious Candles

Imagine walking in to a room holding the hand of your beautiful better half, and as they lead you in, the room is warmed up by the gorge and love inducing smell of vanilla and sandalwood. As you open your eyes, your lover is glowing in the beautiful glow of a candle.

Ahhhhh love...sweet and yummy smelling love!

Nothing sets the mood like candles. Whether its on a birthday cake given to you by the unbelievably yummy and exquisite Jake Ryan...Gosh he is sooooo dreamy! Yes Please Jake!..

Hee hee hee..we digress, or around a luxurious bath tub, on a dinner table, or just on a desk...candles are the perfect "feeling" starter.

Once used purely for light, candles now have transformed into "a mood with a wick"

They can make you happy or calm, thoughtful or loving, peaceful or excited...all with the flick of a lighter (or a match for you retro romantic ladies) and nothing helps welcome guests to your home like a few beautiful smelling candles.

A good candle is like a huge hug from a fluffy unicorn...there is nothing like it..you can't walk into a room with a lit candle and not feel good and warm (and we are not talking about the warmth of the fire people!)

We uber heart Luxurious Candles!

There are tons of brands out there but being the crazy obsessed candle lurvers that we are...we narrowed it down to a select few that are amazing, gloriously delish and easy to find ('cuz what's the point of being soooo cool that our gorge readers can't find what we blab about...right?)

Now...in NO particular order...we give to you....Lux Candles!

OK, I know we said NO order...but this first candle maker can be in no other place but first!

Our FBF (Fake Boyfriend) Jonathan Adler makes the coolest candles around.

Not only are his scents amazing and thick with out being too perfume-y but when you are done burning his amazing creations, you have to keep the candle holder because it is actually a piece of his pottery!!!!!!! Really JA? Really??????? An amazing candle and a piece of your work?!?!

Um..YES and PLEASE and THANK YOU!

We super heart his Hashish candle for a couple of reasons (no sillies...not the one you are thinking of...well maybe a little but only because we are hippies at heart)...it smells just like its namesake and burns forever and the rad pottery it comes in becomes a great keepsake jar for your jewels or spices or "products" or other green stuff like money.

Another one of his beautifully scented candles with the fantastical gift of free pottery is his Muse Noir candle.

Its seductively lovely with smells of bergamont, amber and plum...can you say hot love! Fill his popular Muse pot with deep red roses or purple orchids...or what ever your heart desires.

This next LC co. is really the true reason for this post. Have you ever had a candle actually fill a room with gorgeous (non perfumey) smells with out even lighting it? NO? Well now you can get one.

Jo Malone, the guru of amazing scents and scent mixing, has the most TDF candles ever!

Perfectly packaged with clean and sleek packaging, her candles literally can take you to another place with how unbelievable the scents are.

There are no words to describe how amazing they are, how inviting and chic the scents are and how we wish we could buy one every week! (but p.s. her candles are for sure lux candles...not for the recessionista but totally worth the splurge!!!!)

One of the best gifts Miss Me and I were ever given (besides our gorge Hawaiian bracelets) was a huge Jo Malone candle.

Not only does it fill the foyer (super fancy right???) with the most lovely smell when its just sitting there...but once we light it, the whole house is hugged in it!

We heart the grapefruit, which btw, is sooooo not grapefruity. It's less harsh and tart than you can imagine...it's warm, spicy and fluffy and super expensive smelling.

Her orange blossom is another crazy beautiful scent. It too is big and warm with out being over powering.

Speaking of fancy pants and uber luxurious candles, this next company might be the O.G. One whiff of Diptique's beautimously chic candles and you will whip out your credit card faster than ...um....well just fast!

The candle vessel is perfectly Parisian and filled with glorious scents that most candle makers could never repeat...

Their most popular and most beautifully unusual scent is Baies (we can't pronounce it either). It's black currant and Bulgarian Roses...yup..AMAZING!!!

Put this bad boy next to your tub while you are soaking and you will be taken to another...way more shmancier place.

Diptique's perfectly perfect Tuberose candle is just that...perfection!

It's soft and elegant and never over powering.

Oh um hi...Mr John Galliano has his own scent with them (we hope it doesn't smell like how he looks...like a French pirate...but if it does, I'm sure it's still great)

Need a great gift for your friend that has everything and every candle ever?

DL & co create masterpieces.

Their candles are part Gothic, part romantic and every bit luxurious. They fill a room with soft, masculine yet oddly feminine smells.

Yes they are crazy expensive but the stunning black box they come in is just as gorge as the rich and exotic candle.

We love the Angels Trumpet! It's both sweet and earthy while remaining totally lux and elegant.

Speaking of gifts...Voluspa should win the best gift award hands down!

Not only are they an absolute amazing gift to get they are a spectacular gift to give.

They are super lux and beautifully scented but totally affordable.

They burn for hours and hours while delicately filling your room with yummy scents.

We heart every single smell they make!

Our new fav is the clove. It's a bit warm for the hot days o' summer but as soon as the heat drops, their clove is on another level!

Need a great gift that can not be out done? Their gift sets are perfection.

We love this pretty glass votive set. Imagine throwing a party and scattering these fantastically scented and fun colored candles all over the place....super festive and totally shmancy.

Archipelago candles are the winners hands down for the all inclusive candle.

They smell unbelievably rich, they burn perfectly, they fill a room with luxuriousness even when not lit and they don't cost more than a mani pedi!

Their candles are sooooo great...I worked at a upscale restaurant where the dinners cost as much as a car payment and the customers loved Archipelago candles soooo much, they would literally steal them from the bathroom!!!!!!

We suuuper heart the Magnolia for the summer and the Caramel for the winter.

Get them here...at the mecca of candle stores. Actually you can probably get any lux candle known to man there.

Are you or do you know a fancy pants, lux lovin', Hippie or just someone who hearts candles and the Earth?

Need a candle that is Organic, Soy, Earth Friendly and 100% recyclable???

Dirt is the place to go. Their clean burning candles are super fun to burn (60 hours!!!) and the scents are amazing!

Our favs are Love Machine and All Nighter. Both are gorgeously scented with a huge mix of Earths delights. They are perfectly balanced and totally a must have for any candle lover.

Oh...hello? Earth Lovers??? When you are done using this loooong burning lux candle, you can wash the glass holder and it becomes a drinking glass!!!!

Lovelies...take a moment...burn a nice candle and remember how much you deserve it! There is nothing better for you like that luxuriously peaceful moment.

P.S. Don't forget to blow out candles when you leave a room!

P.P.S. We promise...even if you don't think you are into candles...light one. You will be surprised...and at peace ;)

P.P.P.S. The lovelies here at t.w.h. luuurrrvvveee nice candles...just sayin'
