"Where in the Concrete Jungle Will Trois Femmes Pop Up?"- Doughnut Plant

(Photo Credit-New York Times)

After seeing, the DOUGHNUT PLANT featured on Travel Channel's "Donut Paradise", I knew I would have to make the trek down to the Lower East Side in NYC and see what all the fuss was about. After entering the tiny shop & taking a whiff of the air, I took a bite into the Coconut Cream doughnut...the rest was history.

Told my girls, Sherr & Shirl about the doughnut perfection and we made many, many, many more trips to the Doughnut Plant. Mark Isreal perfected the doughnut! He uses the freshest ingredients, organic when possible, no eggs, artificial ingredients or preservatives and no artificial coloring. The roster of doughnuts is endless with such flavors like Vanilla Bean (classic!), Tres Leche, Valhrona Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Blackout, Carrot Cake, etc. They also feature churros (my bro's fav), cinnamon buns and Butterfly Roll, along with Hot chocolate in the cold months/ Iced Chai Tea in the summer.

Mark also deliver's orders daily to Dean & DeLuca, Balducci's, and Zabar's, if you can't make it to the Doughnut Plant.

After 16 years, Mark opened up a 2nd NYC location at The Chelsea Hotel on Valentine's Day 2011. Here they have seating and feature different doughnut flavors- Chocolate Chip Cookie, Oatmeal, Salted Peanut Cake and more.

Trois Femmes Wants to Play in Kandee-Land

(Thanks to Just Jared for this picture of Ashley Madekwe in the PEANUT CRUNCHY BOOTIE)

Trois Femmes was first introduced to Kandee Shoes by reading Ashley Madekwe's, "Ring My Bell Blog" and seeing her step out for OK! Magazine's Party, earlier this month in the PEANUT CRUNCHY BOOTIE. After that we were hooked and needed to know more about these shoes!

Kandee Shoes are o' so fabulous, bold, sweet and yummy. With such delicious names like, "Peppermint Creams Pump", "Lemon Sours" and "Chocolate Limes" they are guilt free with no calories but scrumptious. HaHa! The vibrant hues on these sky high shoes, will make anyone feel sexy. Creator, Josh Wayman put a unique spin on this line of eye-catching shoes with their bold colors but they are still wearable to a night on the town with the girls or can even be worn to a wedding.

With more colors and styles coming in April. We will remain drooling over what is to come, like "MASH'A'MALLOW" and the colorful "TANG".

This is whats on Trois Femmes' menu-
Rae, Shirl and Sherr crave the PEANUT CRUNCHY BOOTIE. Must be in the stars, being born on the same day, we tend to like the same style and adore these-

Am I dreaming?- REED KRAKOFF

Thank you to Rebecca Minkoff and Saks for this wonderful experience. Because of the contest Rebecca Minkoff held, I won a $750 gift card to spend at Saks. With my sistas by my side and numerous rounds on all floors in Saks, I made my choice. Check out, what I decided to purchase-

Yes, this is the "Reed Krakoff Boxer l bag" featured in the ad campaigns running in all the magazine this spring. I cannot believe I now own one, after clipping the ad out of magazines numerous times. Wow!

I love how the BOXER bag is not trendy, it is a timeless bag that can run through all seasons. It has a utilitarian feel but still feels sexy with the different brown and black tones and strap. Krakoff's inspiration behind the wraparound strap was the way boxers wrap their wrists before a fight. This is a brilliant way of adding a rough feel to a great feminine bag. I love it soo much and I hope I will have more Reed Krakoff pieces to add to my collection in the future. Maybe a matching wallet to go with my bag? *hint* hint* LOL! Here is a bit about Krakoff-

Reed Krakoff may sound familiar to you, he is the President and Creative Director of Coach but now creator of a self-titled brand that he started from scratch as well. His self-named brand, Reed Krakoff was launched last fall. Coach's core business is handbags and now that Krakoff has mastered accessories, he is successfully dipping into Women's Ready-to- Wear. His brand features clothing, bags, shoes, sunglasses and watches. He has minimalist instincts with a natural feel, which I love about many American Designers. And an eye for design with hidden details that are mainly visible to a professionals eye only. His use of exotic materials and designs, can't help you think you're looking at a piece of art. Like the "Asymmetrical Boar Hair Sandal" or the simple, "Sheer Wrap Panel Dress" sitting delicately on a female model. Reed Krakoff, true artist.
