If you’re struggling to think of delicious, filling, yet healthy dishes that are easy to prepare, look no further. Today’s three-course menu from author, chef, journalist, and all-around lovely person Candice Kumai, is the answer to serving a nutritious summer meal at home. Tired of that same ole’ Caesar salad? Candice’s take on the classic gets an upgrade with apple, avocado, and […]
I live in a loft, meaning that my apartment consists of — count ’em — one room total. The kitchen transitions into the dining area, which turns into the living area, which then becomes the bedroom… and while I absolutely love the wide openness of it all, living without established hallways, doorways and foyers has been quite […]
It’s here! the much-hyped Apple Watch finally landed on my front porch 3 weeks ago, and I’ve been (mostly) wearing it ever since. It’s really my first foray into wearable technology; Adam gifted me a Fitbit for Christmas a couple years ago, and I must not have really understood the strap mechanism since it fell […]
Happy weekend, darlings! Hope yours has gotten off to a great start. I’ve taken a couple weeks off from posting our usual Weekend Notes, since frankly, time has been a precious commodity since Henry was born, and also, I’ve been making a conscious effort to set a slower pace during these summer weekends and not try to do […]
Lately I’ve been on a mission to find inspiring rooms free of the ubiquitous tulip tables, matchtstick legs, fiberglass chairs. And can I tell you, it’s been very difficult! So seeing this French inspired rustic kitchen felt like a breath of fresh air for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love a leather Eames Lounge just […]
Excited to launch a fun new summer series today that’s going to take your Friday happy hours to a whole ‘nutha level. We’re teaming up with some of our favorite sites around the web for the biggest cocktail party ever over the next few weeks, and today we’re kicking it off with one of my […]
Confession: We’re a bit dog-crazy around the office. Even though I’m the only dog owner among us, that doesn’t keep everyone from spending half the work day talking about breeds we love, sharing must-follow dog Instagram accounts (have you met Piggy & Polly?), and googling puppy photos. So in an effort to open up the conversation to you guys, […]
One of the trends we’re loving for summer is a strong liquid-lined eye paired with a nude lip: some might say it’s a Lana Del Rey kind of thing, but we’d rather cite 60’s French film star Brigette Bardot. “Bardot is one of the original bombshells but anyone can pull off this look,” says makeup […]
If y’all are following #CSBookClub on Instagram, you know that I’m currently making my way through The Untethered Soul, a weighty read by Michael A. Singer that explores the questions of who we are, and how we can discover our true identities through consciousness. It’s giving me a lot to think about, and so far, the […]
Click here to see the full “Garden-to-table Summer Feast” story. “We had this salad at a small restaurant in the Monti district of Rome. We ate there three times in one week and always ordered the same thing: Caprese salad, Eggplant Parmigiana and a litre of the house red. Every morning, the owner’s mother would […]
Summer is blazing by, and it’s made me realize that we’re a quarter-way through July and I still haven’t hosted a proper al fresco dinner party… shame! Granted, we have been experiencing a disproportionately rainy summer this year, but that’s still no excuse. Today’s refreshing party from Sophie Collins — what with its picturesque backyard setting, […]
