Extreme Pumpkins!!!

Here's a cool site for very unique ways to carve or decorate pumpkins, ExtremePumpkins.com. I had fun looking through all of the photos. Some are really awesome. The creator of this site's name is Tom Nardone. If you have a question about a pumpkin, he is the one to ask. There are pumpkin carving tips, design strategy, pumpkin preservation, power tools, fire, light & pyrotechnics, and even a recipe for roasting pumpkin seeds. Tom wrote a book about pumpkins. That's how passionate he is about pumpkins. Check it out. I pulled a few pumpkin photos that are my favorite.


I would have a splitting headache too.


The pumpkin monster is attacking the city!!! Look out!


That's a lot of candy corn!

We will miss you Jackie!

So Friday was Jackie's last day at Farylrobin. We hate to see her go but are very excited for her. She is going back to school to become a teacher. She adores children and will make an amazing teacher not to mention role model. Even though she is 5 ft and we constantly poke fun at how small she is, we all look up to her:)

As a going away gift, we found this awesome piggy vase at Urban Oufitters. Jackie loves pigs! I hope one day her dream comes true and she gets a little pet pig of her very own.





It was also an afternoon of food, dessert, and of course champagne.






Nothing but sophistication at Farylrobin. Who needs champagne flutes when you have Farylrobin coffee mugs.

Best of luck Jackie!!!!

Chili! Yum!

Even though it is still summer weather at the end of October, I am getting antsy for the "real" fall weather to begin. So to get in the fall spirit, even with the 80 degree weather, we made chili yesterday in the farylrobin office. We made turkey chili. Trust me, I don't skimp on my chili. There were 4 different types of beans, corn, onions, green pepper, garlic, fire roasted tomatoes, oregano, cayenne, a dash of cinnamon and sugar, and of course chili powder. Even though there were 8 people in the office, I made enough for 20:) So everyone definitely had seconds and some ventured to have thirds. It was pretty fun. The only challenge was chopping the onions. I only cried a little.

Here are some photos to make you drool.




what's chili without cheese and cornbread






this is the leftover

Rock the Robin is back!

For the past couple months our weekly Rock the Robin has not been Rockin'. So to start the fall off right, Felissa from Maletzky Media (our PR firm) is showing you how she plans to rock the bandabees in coffee.

Comfort is key with me, with style coming in a close second. Luckily, once in a while you find a shoe totally worth planning your outfit (or wardrobe…) around. That’s the Bandabees! And that’s what I did! To keep anything from overshadowing the boots, I paired them over J Brand skinny jeans in bruiser (yes, even a shorty like me can rock the skinny). To balance out the bottom, and make me looker taller (only 5-foot-2!), I wanted something longer (buh-bye hips!). I love how this Young, Fabulous and Broke Twiggy vest makes the color of boots pop and is ideal for these crisp fall days. And what outfit is complete without the perfect bag? The Foley + Corinna Bender in brass is big enough for work but transitions easily to relaxed weekends. But most importantly…it matches the boots!

Farylrobin Participates in QVC's FFANY Shoes on Sale

While Donna and Laura were hanging out with underwear models downtown at Bloomies, Faryl, Jim and I were in black tie uptown at the Waldorf Astoria for the annual QVC FFANY Shoes on Sale gala. This annual event raises millions and millions of dollars for breast cancer research by selling shoes from top designers live on QVC for three hours. In addition, throughout October QVC will carry a Shoe of the Day each weekday – until it sells out. Farylrobin has donated some fall shoes to the cause, so be sure to check out the QVC schedule for Shoes on Sale or buy them online at http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/app.html/params.file.%7Cfny%7Cffany2007main,html/left.html.file.%7Cfny%7Cfny_leftnav_2007,html/walk.html.%7Cfny%7Cfny_leftnav_2007,html.

Here's me and Faryl in front of the paparazzi

We love underwear models!

Last night we went to an event at Bloomingdale's Soho to promote Farylrobin. It was singles' night at Bloomingdales. In the shoe department, they had chocolate covered strawberries and champagne. We were having fun on the 2nd Floor, but word in the store was that there were male models in their underwear walking around on the men's floor. Well Donna and I had to check it out! Sure enough there were! On the lower level they had models promoting the line 2xist, the Carbon collection. After viewing the collection and getting a polaroid taken with an adorable model in his tighty whities, Donna and I definitely recommend the carbon line to any guy looking for added support:) Donna also posed as an underwear model! Look at that glowing chest and those ripped abs! We definitely had fun!

Part 2 – The Stars Align for Farylrobin at The LA Galaxy Game

On Saturday, October 13, Farylrobin hosted a private VIP suite at the LA Galaxy soccer game for the very top fashion editors and stylists in Hollywood to show off the Spring 08 line. Guests included editors, journalists, freelance fashion and beauty writers, and celebrity stylists from InStyle, The Los Angeles Times, Paper Magazine, Fit Pregnancy, TheTipJar.com, Orange Coast Magazine, Glam.com, LA.com, the Style Network and others.


Everyone ooh-ed and ahh-ed over the upcoming spring line mentioning that the colors look great, the leathers are gorgeous, the heels are so interesting and look very comfortable, and many couldnt decide which color of multiple styles they want.


We had the best time hanging with everyone. After all these years, it was so nice to finally attach faces to the e-mail addresses and voices on the phone that we’ve heard for so long!

It was a cool 65 degrees outside and even though all of the West Coast peeps thought it was “freezing,” Lia and I savored what was probably our last taste of a warm breeze for some time. The weather outside was no matter though, since our suite was cozy – filled with food and enough alcohol for a small army, and most important – a direct view of David Beckham on the sidelines. We searched and scanned for Posh, but alas, no dice.

With Faryl at home sick, we were able to link her in via Skype to meet all the wonderful people who attended:



Many of our guests had never been to a soccer game before so it was really fun to be a part of their (and our) first-time experience.

Thanks to everyone for coming out. We can't wait to see you all again soon.

Oh, and the Galaxy did beat Toronto 2-1!

Until next time,
