Give the Gift of Tea

Hard to believe that today marks the two week countdown to the big day! How are you all doing with your shopping, decoration, advent calendars, party planning, vacations, and everything that falls in between? Around here, the holidays seems to have creeped up on us in a major way… so much so that we’ve opted to do an office-wide Secret […]

A Rockette

Ask any one of the 120 Rockettes how her dance career began, and there’a a good chance you’ll get an answer to the tune of: My parents enrolled me in ballet when I was 3 years old. Combine that early introduction to the sport with an annual family tradition that involves cozying up on the couch Thanksgiving morning to watch the […]

A Midwinter Night’s Dream

A beautifully-set table, flickering candlelight, platters overflowing with rich food, and carefully chosen wines to complement it. Sounds like a dream of a holiday gathering, doesn’t it? We thought so too, which is why we positively swooned when we laid eyes on the Midwinter Night’s Dream-themed dinner party that best friends Gillian Segal and Sophie Collins designed together, brimming […]

Cabin Fever

After watching hours on end of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks on Netflix, I’ve got a bad case of cabin fever — and no, I don’t mean the irritable, restless kind. I mean I am intensely in to all things alpine right now, from these anonymous ism deer socks from j. crew to this fair isle […]

Creamy Pumpkin Oat Bran Porridge

Hot breakfast cereal may sound like the healthy and responsible choice in the morning, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be equally delicious!  It’s all about the add-ins (obviously) and in the fall & winter months, the options are really endless.  I love my oatmeal, oat bran, etc. with tons of warm spices and something special like pumpkin […]

Gift Guide for Guys

featured image by brad bridgers for man of the world Year after year, it invariably seems that some of our toughest gift recipients are guys: dads, brothers, boyfriends, husbands… they all seem to know exactly what they like and get most of it for themselves!

Best Beauty Gifts 2014

‘Tis the season: for socializing, merrymaking, and, of course, finding the perfect gift for every person on that very long list of yours. I’ll admit that I’m not necessarily the best or most original gifter in the world — I mean, what does one get one’s beloved father-in-law who neither wants nor needs anything? — […]

Dream Kitchen with Vintage Charm

With the first major holiday feast under our belts, I’m getting excited for all the festivities to come. And if I work up the courage to host my own soirée this year, I’ll be taking inspiration from Dianna Agron’s casual yet refined entertaining style, whose kitchen boasts the most beautiful kitchen appliance known to man. If I had […]

Embracing the Unconventional Thanksgiving

Almost everything about this upcoming Thanksgiving is unconventional for me. For starters, my folks are traveling to Austin, which means for the first time in my adult life, I’m playing host. Except, my first hosting gig will be made possible thanks to one of my favorite restaurants who is providing the big feast. With the […]

Our Holiday Card Picks (and a $500 giveaway!)

I have a tradition of getting most of my cards written, addressed, and ready for mailing during the long Thanksgiving weekend. When everyone’s settled into their turkey coma, I curl up in front of the fire with my cards and a cup of tea — and it’s become one of my favorite rituals to kickoff the […]
