life is just a bowl of cherries Generally I like to post pictures of something I’ve recently made but for some reason I haven’t been able to document the whole process with my camera. Therefore, I will post snippets of different things I’ve eaten + made as of late. Photographing food is actually quite tricky, […]
making gingersnaps Welcome to 2011! I can’t believe the decade started with me as a freshman in high school has come to an end (and that I’m now 26 years old..). When I was a kid, the millennium sounded so far away and here we are, in the depths of it; I totally thought we’d […]
*images via weheartit Wishing you all a wonderful holiday. I hope you’re all spending copious amounts of time with your loved ones and indulging in all sort of sweet and savory goodies.

True to H&M form, the prices are extremely reasonable and the styles are hit or miss (for me, at least). Some […]
If you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen that I’ve been talking about Gilt Groupe lately. I was recently asked to become an ambassador for Gilt in my local city and I’ll be trying my best to spread the word in Chicago and beyond. If you don’t already know about Gilt Groupe, it’s […]
Don’t be fooled by these treats. I haven’t been hard at work making Christmas treats the past few weeks; in fact, the only goodies I’ve made have been of the ‘no-bake’ genre.
