ALT SUMMIT 2012
Posted on | January 18, 2012 | 2 Comments
Morning friends! I’m headed to Salt Lake City for Alt Summit which is also known as blogger’s summer camp. I’m going to step away from the blog for the rest of the week so I can focus on being inspired, drinking wine and giggling. But I’ll be tweeting like a crazy person so follow me if you don’t already. And of course I’ll see you back here next week. And we’ll catch up.
Blogger Crush: Laura from Smith & Ratliff
Posted on | January 17, 2012 | 3 Comments
Ay yi yi. It has been an awful long time since I’ve posted a blogger crush. But we have a good one today, and if that weren’t enough blogger crush features now have an updated look, to boot. Things are exciting around here that’s for sure. So I meet Laura from Smith & Ratliff back in October because she was one of the guests at the NYC bloggers dessert party that was at my apartment. I instantly liked her. She has a good, relaxed energy and she’s one of those people you are immediately comfortable with. Plus, she brought this amazing pine nut star anise pie, which incidentally ended up being voted the favorite dessert of the afternoon. So it should come as no surprise that Laura is one half of the gorgeous blog Smith & Ratliff. The blog is a joint venture that Laura writes with her boyfriend Ryan. It beautifully documents their life in the West Village (represent!) and is a love letter to all of their favorite things; food, art, New York, cocktails and travel. It oozes coolness and style and you will find yourself wishing you could give their life a spin for a few days. But since that seems rather impossible, reading their badass blog will have to do. For now. A big thanks to Laura for stopping by to play and I hope to bump into you at a West Village coffee shop soon. xoxo
Super Special Salad
Posted on | January 16, 2012 | 9 Comments
This is deliciousness, my friends and so easy. I made a big bowl and ate it for several days. And I loved it. I could feel the healthiness seeping in. That’s how it works, right? Healthy stuff just seeps in. I know my science. So, I think you should make this wholesome aweseomeness asap, pals. Here’s how you do it; chop up some kale, radicchio and fennel. Add some canned chickpeas. Make a quick dressing of olive oil, lemon zest and juice, a dash of rice vinegar and salt and pepper. Mix it all together and toss some chopped walnuts on top. Enjoy! p.s. I’m officially obsessed with fennel. This was my first at home fennel experience and there will be plenty more where that came from.
Design in Close Proximity

I happen to believe that good design is all around us, you just have to pay attention. So I challenge you to keep your peepers open for nice pieces of design as you go about your everyday life. I did and here’s what I found:
My face wash – purity from philosophy
A penny
MTA maps and signage
The New York Times masthead
A Good Ol’ Fashioned Dress Harvest
Posted on | January 11, 2012 | 11 Comments
My closet was making me sad the other day. My dress collection is faltering a bit and I really do enjoy having a multitude of dress options. So I hit ModCloth today for a good ol’ fashioned dress harvest. A dress harvest is when you order a bunch of dresses (and charge waaaaay too much on your credit card) so you can try them all on at home and send back the ones that don’t work. So I ordered like 8 dresses today. My excuse is I’m dating and need an arsenal of cute dresses at the ready. That’s fair, right? Below you’ll find a few of the lovely numbers that are on their way to me as we speak. Here’s to hoping their cuteness translates to real life.
