Last week Diana from OurCityLights posted a pic of flourless black bean brownies on her Instagram and the caption read These flourless black bean brownies are as delicious as they sound gross… and the first thing I thought was YEAH RIGHT. So gross! A. I do NOT like beans, though black beans have been growing …
Follow me on Instagram to see these in real time. Come back here every Sunday for all the details. Seriously, I can’t stop missing this guy 🙁 {from #TBT ~I’ve been told Buzzfeed is using this pic for some pet contest… anyone have a link?} I wrapped a few bags of sweet candy hearts …
This morning my mom sent me a little Happy Valentine’s text and said she had just read this wonderful poem that Charlie Chaplin had written to himself on his 70th birthday and that I should read it too. And so I did… and thought it was such a perfect little Valentine’s Day note to remind …
I think it was a PR email that led me to 20 Questions with Sarah Jessica Parker at Marie Claire the other day and the happy click-through accident quickly reminded me of my early days of blogging {of OUR early days of blogging, if you’re still here with me ;} and it made me smile …
I was astounded when I first learned how easy it was to etch glass a few years ago and quickly bought a small bottle of etching cream to monogram everything I owned. And then it sat there amongst my DIY craft supplies for years unused. It wasn’t until I recently partnered with Ecco Domani and …
What I’m Wearing… * Vintage hot pink suede dress… from the ’80s. I found it recently in a local thrift shop and it fit so well I had to buy it. It was $10… it has big shoulder pads, which I may remove, an open back, is in perfect condition and I love it. * …
Inspired by Valentine’s Day and my engagement ring, I created a soft pink manicure with silver hearts and crystals that spells out ‘LOVE YOU’ when held next to each other. What’s great though is that from far away, it just looks pretty and sparkly, but those close enough to you will get the message. It’s …
Follow me on Instagram to see these in real time. Come back here every Sunday for all the details. We can’t really tell if Bebop even notices that LeRoy’s gone. But he’s still a happy pug, despite his miserable expression. The husband is a pro at making cappuccinos now & accidentally leaving little hearts in …
I follow Harolds Finishing Touches on Instagram and am in love with the rich hues and chic vignettes in each & every photo. They’ve mostly got a darker, masculine feel, but with bursts of color, florals, whimsy, and all include curiously interesting objects. Upon further investigation, wherein I simply followed the link, I found Harolds …
This post is brought to you by John Frieda… all opinions are my own! A few years ago, after decades of using cheap drugstore blowdryers and ending up with dry, straw-like hair, I finally splurged on an “expensive” hair dryer. Of course it’s all relative, but I spent over $100 on a new dryer and …
What I’m Wearing… * Taupe cashmere turtleneck sweater by Jigsaw London {I’ve worn this a billion times} * Black chunky knit open sweater from Victoria’s Secret a few years ago {see it here} * Huge knit scarf by Bebe … see the matching hat here {wearing the same sweater as well} * Aztec print pants …
by Patty Joy I recently signed up for a workout class that meets at 6am, which admittedly is a bit early for my taste, but I love starting off the morning by moving my body. And well, let’s be honest, it’s done, so I no longer have to worry about squeezing it in for the …
I don’t often post lookbooks for designer {or celeb designer} collections, though it seems the last three seasons, I can’t help but share Lauren Condrad’s LC lines. Maybe it’s the California girl in me, or the fact that I’m missing Summer already, but her lookbooks are so fresh and pretty I just want to jump …
I’ve been trying to think of a cute new Valentine’s Day Manicure like my Heart Nails from a few years ago, but I’m a little lacking in the creativity department lately. Luckily it’s just the beginning of February so I have a little over a week to think of something else. But this is a …
What I’m Wearing… * Dripping C’s crop tank from 7TwentyFour * Black jersey maxi tube skirt * Open cardigan {I just wore this in my last outfit post… it’s a new fave} by Three Dots * Black ankle boots by Ugg Australia you can see in this DIY Black Flower Ribbons * Vintage sunglasses * …
