culinary colorblocking I had never made a tart before. One day, I decided I’d make one, when what I was really hankering for was a quiche. I knew I wanted something bright and colorful (read: to perk up my winter SAD) and since I’m always in the mood for basil and tomatoes, I was pleased […]
Kate Spade ‘Maribeth’ I had a few prerequisites when choosing wedding shoes that included: suitable for the outdoors, not too high of a heel, and pretty. While browsing in Kate Spade after work last week, I spotted the Maribeth shoe: subtle, glittery goodness. The heel isn’t too high (and I wore them to my fitting […]
Every spring there are a few trends that stand out. This year, color blocking is huge, along with all things 70s. One trend that reappears every spring are nude palettes.

punta mita sunset Here a few shots from my whirlwind trip to Mexico this past weekend. I didn’t get much beach time, which is code for letting you know that I came back sans tan. Nevertheless, it was so nice to just be in the sun for a few days, even if I was essentially […]
