Striped roses

Trust me when I tell you, everyone needs a striped rose. This one's called "Scentimental" from Grace Rose Farm, an excellent resource for rose lovers. The fragrance and vigor of this beauty is unbeatable.

Gorgeous container gardens

First of all, obsessed with Create Academy and its entire cannon of gardening courses, but Sarah Raven is where it's at if you want to create beautiful containers. Sign up for "Magnificent Pots" or Arthur Parkinson's excellent "Grow a Spectacular Garden in Pots."

Roses named after Thomas Hardy novels

David Austin roses Gabriel Oak and Tess of the d'Urbervilles have flourished in containers subjected to NYC blazing summer heat and the worst winter on record and still won't quit. Tess will cut a bitch with her thorns, but like Gabriel, she has glorious fragrance, form and vigor.

Elizabeth Taylor eyelashes

Stop fucking around with mascara this summer and get your hands on Lomansa Lash Color Kit Instant Black Eyelash Color and just dye them yourself. I do this once a month and haven't gone blind yet
