SUMMER BLAZING

August 12 2012

  I mentioned here that I have a quite a collection of blazers and jackets and it just keeps on growing! I seem to find more reasons to buy a new pair like this one. The color pairing of this jacket is both unexpected and nice, the embellished lapel and tassel gives the jacket character and [...]

WEEK RONDUP

August 9 2012

  This week was all about making our favorite recipes like this one from Jamie Oliver’s cookbook and today we’re hosting dinner and drinks that will be inspired by the king of rustic cooking.

But regardless of the running around we had to do, one night, Anthony and I decided to make rosemary infused popcorn and watched ‘Death Valley’ marathon. This week, I [...]
