Five Things

January 14th, 2011



{Deconstructed boots that already feel perfectly worn in}

This week was really nice.  There was nothing particularly special about it, but it was filled with just enough down time,  some great meals (I made Mario Batali’s Pappardelle Bolognese twice in four days) and incredible weather.    This weekend will almost exclusively be spent outdoors, with the exception of our Golden Globes soiree, for which the dress code is: comfy clothes with really fancy jewelry.   In the meantime, here are five things currently making me happy.



{These vintage-y champagne coupes that feel wonderfully celebratory}

{A new place for my chalkboard (last seen here) in the kitchen}

{I love the slightly asymmetric feel to this statement necklace}

{My new magnifying glass (featured here) that adds a touch of seriouness}

    A great option is the Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini!!
    It’s got a similar satchel-like shape with the rocker attitude and is more affordable but still good quality.

    You can find it on eBay:

    The leather is so soft!! Such a classic, iconic bag with an attitude!!
    Love it!!! (ipad)
