Five Things

August 26th, 2011

{Bourbon Peach Punch – recipe coming soon}

Just as I started to fully prep for fall (I’ve even bookmarked several soups I need to try), summer seems to have arrived in L.A. We’re throwing a little UFC-viewing party, which means we’ll be cranking up the AC, loading up on lots of greasy food, and plenty of cold drinks. Since this past week has been overwhelmingly girly (starting with a lovely bridal shower), it’ll be a nice change of pace.

{A fun discovery after a day by the beach – also #1 on this list}



{Savoring the flavors of summer: tomato, burrata, and basil pizza}

{Best new hair discovery: Oribe’s “Royal Blowout”}

{Favorite combination: Almond-covered Pocky + red wine}

    Emily, I love the small antique gold frame highlighting what you are serving and the brass ice bucket in picture 1. I am assuming they are vintage finds, which makes me so excited for your book!! Have a lovely weekend.
