Five Things

{Most refreshing dessert ever – homemade grapefruit and campari granita}

This week has been pretty amazing. I found out from my editor that my book is a National best-seller (and even made it to the top 10 in Publishers Weekly). I’m overwhelmed by the response and am so appreciative of all of your support. This weekend should be just as promising – we’re having people over tonight for the opening ceremony of the Olympics (ideal for take-out and champagne) and a good friend is visiting from out of town. We’ll be doing a marathon day of shopping (she’s a new mom) and I can’t wait to help her rebuild her wardrobe. Have a great weekend!

{Favorite new item: lilac-colored denim}

{Notebooks made from vintage Diane von Furstenberg patterns}

{Strangest item in my bathroom: a mold of my teeth that I painted gold}

{My signature scent – people actually stop me on the street to ask what I’m wearing}

    I desperately need to update my wardrobe after having my baby. I wish I could have your help. I feel so dowdy and boring all the time.

    Ah Emily, you’re so innovative! I remember when the dentist offered to give me the mold of my teeth I declined, thinking “what on earth would I want that for?!”- but you always seem to find a use for almost anything, and it works so well! Love it.
