Loving my new cookbook by none other than Gwyneth Paltrow. I’m sure you know by now that I think she is incredible. Turns out she can cook, too. Her recipes are incredible. Slowly working my way through them…

This is my new summer bag.
This is what I’m filling it with:
Vive Sana sunblock;
Kerstin Florian lip balm with SPF 15;
the most amazing mascara ever, by Covergirl, in their waterproof formula, Very Black;
Nars powder blush in Douceur – the perfect summer shade for your cheeks;
this two-piece swimsuit, because I know I can do it;
this cover-up, in [...]

My newest obsessions:
G-Star dresses. I now have three of them. I wear them all year long. They are so flattering and in the incredible neutral colors they come in, they will remain staples in your wardrobe for years to come;
Over-sized men’s watches;
This Gypsy 05 sweatshirt, for this wacky in-between weather. I have one and am [...]

Another day of frustration!
Since this time last year, I’ve put on twenty pounds. I was sick and then had a long run of trying to work out my anxiety meds and it did a number on my metabolism. And then about two months ago, I found out that I had a massive vitamin D deficiency, [...]

It’s officially Day One of spring break week. We are about four hours in. I am already a woman on the verge… of tearing out my hair. Not sure if I am going to make it through a week of this…

Do you like Indian food as much as I do? I could live on it, and only it, for my remaining days on earth and I’d be just fine with that. If you feel the same, or even close to the same passion as I feel for this perfect cuisine, then get this cookbook. All [...]

Oh, to die for. Delicious. Chic. Understated. The most perfect shoe ever…

I took down all the books that have made their way to a final resting place next to my bed so that I could do some deep dusting, and as I was going through them, one by one, I was struck by how different the titles were. And yet how predictable I am by that [...]

Just waiting for summer to roll in so the girls can throw on these adorable sunsuits and head out into the wilds of the mountains. At this point, it feels like summer will never be here…

There’s only one reason I’m wishing 2012 would get her a little quicker: this customized day planner. Oh, it’s just the perfect little organizer. Photos of my life, a place to keep track of appointments and it’s all wrapped up in one sleek package. It bums me out to find an organizer this lovely three [...]

Perhaps it’s just that time of the year, but I’m not feeling much motivation to do anything right now. Which is unfortunate because I have a lot of obligations to attend to. Ugh.
Trying to exercise, but bored with everything. Currently toying around with my husband’s “Insanity” series of DVDs. And let me tell you that [...]

I love to support small businesses. But I find that I keep having to search out the next one because small businesses sometimes have the opportunity to “go big,” and then you don’t get return emails with product questions answered, and it’s beyond frustrating. Loyal on the way up, forgotten at the top.
Ugh.
That being said, [...]

In my ongoing and life-long obsession with clogs, I must tell you about the most darling pair that I purchased for my oldest daughter this summer, on our family adventure to Vail, Colorado (where, on an aside, we took the girls to show them where mommy and Daddy were married)…
Pea has been wearing these non-stop. [...]

Love these darling bracelets. A modern spin on the friendship bracelets of my youth…

I’m not that big on St. Valentine’s Day, never have been. So when my husband told me that he’s not going to be here for this year’s, I couldn’t muster up the “boo hoo.” Seriously, in all of our years together, we’ve never gone out for that romantic candlelit dinner that you have to book [...]
