Coach creative director Stuart Vevers and husband Ben Seidler's country cottage on 40 rolling acres is filled with antiques, flea market finds and their gorgeous young twins.

In Wonderland

We are walking over a miniature bridge that crosses a babbling brook in rural western Connecticut, and a little house straight out of a fairy tale its architectural style is actually called storybook-beckons in the near distance. Its wood siding is painted a deep shade of chocolate brown, with its windows and single door a contrasting forest green.

The house six rooms and a porch dates from 1937, Stuart Vevers tells me. "Wow!" I exclaim.

"Isn't that the year the movie Snow White was released?" This conversation is not as odd as you might think: Vevers, a transplanted Brit who has been the creative director of Coach for more than a decade, is an avid Disney fan, and I am, I'll admit modestly, quite the Disney scholar myself, with a home liberally littered with Mickeys and Donalds.

Vevers and I have discussed all this before, so I already know that he is a connoisseur of Disney experiences all over the world, including the home base in Orlando, which he has visited more than 10 times-and I am soon to learn that one of his early dates with his husband, the accessories design director Ben Seidler, took place at Disneyland Paris. Now he and Seidler escape to this cottagelike getaway with their twins, River and Vivienne, who have just turned four and are already veterans of the Magic Kingdom's Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, where Vivienne underwent an extreme makeover and emerged a glittery princess. The two are currently viewing this visitor a bit warily is it my squeals over the vintage wallpaper that has put them off? Any semblance of editorial objectivity seems to vanish once I step inside their 1,100-square-foot home, its walls covered in the kind of 1930s deadstock paper last seen decorating a parlor in an Astaire-Rogers movie.

Coming Up Rosy - The new blush isn't just for the cheek. Coco Mellors feels the flush.

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then our cheeks are the back door. What other part of the body so readily reveals our hidden emotions? Embarrassment, exuberance, delight, desire, all instantly communicated with a rush of blood. It's no wonder that blush has been a mainstay of makeup bags for decades: Ancient Egyptians used ground ochre to heighten their color; Queen Elizabeth I dabbed her cheeks with red dye and mercuric sulfide (which, combined with the vinegar and lead concoction she used to achieve her ivory pallor, is believed to have given her blood poisoning); flappers applied blush in dramatic circles to achieve a doll-like complexion, even adding it to their knees to draw attention to their shorter hemlines
