Elaine Turner...
A Houston based designer specializing in handbags and shoes, Elaine Turner has boutiques throughout Texas, one in Tennessee and sells in stores nationwide.  A New York based boutique is in the works.  I was fortunate to attend the December opening of a new store in The Woodlands, Texas.  The product quality and detailing are fabulous!  Website ordering is available :)  Take a look at a couple of the new arrivals that I am coveting...

Fonuts...
"A doughnut that is baked and/or steamed, never fried" ~ faux donut. 
Flavors include vanilla latte, caramel apple, peanut butter and jelly, chocolate coconut, pumpkin, lemon, maple bacon (yes, you read that correctly), banana chocolate, and chorizo cheddar (you read that correctly too).  Check out the entire range of flavors: Flavors | Fonuts .  These are currently only sold in LA and not available for shipping (darn), but check out the recipe below to try them at home. Hmmmm, maybe this weekend?
