TGIF, Happy Halloween and all that business...

So... Halloween's not until next Wednesday but I know you guys are gonna be partying all weekend (and possibly next week). And by party I mean eat my weight in sour straws and malt balls...is that not how you party? You're really missing out. All that to say your nails should be looking tight and right for all that candy eating. What better way to insure you're ready than getting some crazy nail designs from one of our fabulous manicurists, Claire. Here's a sample of what she can do: 

So what are you waiting for? Halloween's a comin' and  you gotta be prepared. All that candy isn't gonna eat itself.

Essie, Essie, Essie

Everyone listen...we've got Fall and Winter Essie colors at Freckle and it's possibly one of the most exciting things that's happened to me all week, except remembering that the Mc Golrick Park  Halloween Dog Parade's this Sunday and learning that I could buy an individual red Swedish Fish at my local bodega(there is no way I will ever eat a green or yellow fish again!).

Now that I've finished that practically incoherent run on sentence, here are some of the colors we have available:

Beyond Cozy

She's Pampered

Skirting the Issue

Snap Happy

Stylenomics

Where's My Chauffeur?

Pie in the sky, pie in my mouth, pie in Greenpoint!

So I've got something to tell you. Don't freak out...but Pie Corps has opened a store in Greenpoint. It's on Driggs and Monitor, it's beautiful and it's got me all messed up inside.You may recognize some of these pies from the Hester Street Fair and New Amsterdam Market, but I recognize them from my dreams. Check this out...

Carmelized Onions, Goat Cheese, PIE!

Apple muffin made with whiskey suace

Smores Pie

Pudding...PUDDING and Rosemary Caramel sauce pie

Excuse me I'm gonna go drown in pie now.

This is Halloween...

 

Is this video from that dog's perspective...did that dog make this video?! 

It's almost that time of year again, when people dress up their adorable dogs in costumes and parade them through McGolrick Park. It's the HALLOWEEN DOG PARADE! Presented by District Dog it is the one day a year where we can all stare at other people's dogs in public for very long periods of time...we might even get to pet them(OH JOY!). This parade makes me feel like a kid in a candy store except the candy's for my eyes and instead of actual candy it's adorable dogs. I'll see you there, October 28th!

Dear Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

What can I say about you that hasn't already been said? I really like that I can use you everyday without feeling like someone slapped me in the face slowly with sandpaper. I love that even though you cost $50 a bottle I've gotten more than my money's worth and have so much more of your sweet, powdery nectar to use.I appreciate your cylindrical shape and simple, sleek design. Lastly, I love that you're available at Freckle and that all I need to do to get you from your bottle to my face is come to work with at least $51.


Love,
Amber 

TGIF

It's Friday... go have a delicious spicy margarita at La Superior in Williamsburg. As you can see, I've already had one. Oh, and I guess they have delicious food too.

Oh you fancy, huh?

Oh hey fancy Greenpoint store fronts...






RBW(Raised by Wolves), great clothes, cool window, great name.

I love the classy housewares at Le Grenier, so much that they make me kinda hungry. I don't know if that  means I actually want to eat them or the classiness is so great that it makes me regress to the childhood behavior of wanting to put everything in my mouth.

Lay off me I'm starving...

Jelly Doughnut Muffin from Ovenly

I know this blog is about skin care and the like, but it's also about lady business. Since food is everybody's business(including ladies) I'm gonna talk about it.

To the right is a Jelly Doughnut Muffin from Ovenly. Ania(Freckle's owner) has been really into this place since it opened this past May, which is completely understandable because they put jelly AND doughnuts in their muffins. And that's crazy. It's in Greenpoint near Transmitter park(below), another new spot that's becoming very popular. All this to say, you should head over there and get yourself some snacks and some outside. 

It's new!

Look at that menu...what's in a Breakfast Box!?

For the Love of Zoya

Zoya and more Zoya!

Zoya and Danielle Steel!

Zoya and a dog!

 Dogs love Zoya, we love Zoya, DANIELLE STEEL WROTE A BOOK ABOUT ZOYA! ...We think you'll like it too. Available at Freckle.
