I love solids (1, 2, 3). Then again, I also love prints (1,2,3). Not only does this diamond ikat print* have an interesting, neutral-colored tribal feel, but from a distance, it looks like something an extra on A Different World would wear. That’s a win-win for me 🙂 *I admit […]
I’ve taken the Skyride to the top of Stone Mountain before; when my BFF mentioned hiking up Stone Mountain, my first thought was, “She runs half- and full marathons for fun, so…” She assured me that I could do it. Plus, someone told me there were stairs. The lies that woman told me […]
I’ve mentioned before that Ina Garten’s cookbooks are among my very favorites, and thanks to months of scouring Amazon, discount bookstores, Costco, and the like, I’ve almost completed my collection of the Barefoot Contessa series. Garten’s emphasis on simple, just plain GOOD food made with quality ingredients really appeals to […]
The fact that I’m wearing navy in some form or other in practically every style post makes it pretty obvious that it’s my favorite color. (Gray is a very close second.) Dressed up or dressed down; nautical, preppy , or comfy vintage; lace, gingham, pinstripes…  Navy and I are close like this –><– 🙂 […]

My last toothbrush container in a long line of toothbrush containers was perfectly modern and minimalist […]
As a girl who loooves her tea and truly digs special, little luxuries, attending Afternoon Tea* at the St. Regis has been on my really-want-to-do list from the moment I realized they even offered an Afternoon Tea. I’m so thankful to have been able to go twice this summer, first […]
It’s no secret that The Container Store is one of my happy places, so when reader and fab blogger Inspirationele suggested that I do a post on my TCS faves, I was 100% on board. Thanks for the idea! My dream office would have oodles of these Bisley Storage Cabinets. Oodles. Stockholm Desktop Collection I’ve been […]
Earlier this summer, a friend asked me what styles I was looking forward to wearing this season. This simple, simple, simple outfit pretty much sums it up: tops with volume paired with very fitted pants; understated accessories; and lots of neutrals. I don’t know if my eye sometimes gets tired […]
Do you ever have things you love or love to do that you just let languish for some reason(s) or other(s)? Well, these loafers and this blog for the past couple of weeks- sorry about that – are two prime examples. I adore the fact that these pennies are the […]
Reader Request: I am thinking about getting a sequined skirt. How do you think it can be styled for warmer weather? Image from J Crew (all other images in this post from Pinterest) Thank you SO much for your question! When it comes to introducing wow pieces into my wardrobe, […]

This delicious side dish, adapted from Barefoot Contessa Foolproof, is super-simple, quick and easy to make, and the flavors taste SO good together! I served it with salmon cakes, and I think it would work just as well with roasted chicken. Ingredients: makes apr. 4 – 6 side dish servings […]
