Yesterday, I spent the evening with Cousin Dee, (my photography soul mate) going over my workflow processes for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.  Why? Because she will be assisting me this upcoming season! I am pretty damn excited about it too. I have been trying to make this happen for the past 3 seasons but something […]

At the farmers market the other day, I stumbled upon a vendor who had all types of basil. Not all that exciting, right? Well, it kinda was because she had Thai basil. I’ve only had Thai basil at Thai restaurants in some of my favorite dishes but I’ve never seen it in stores.  I had […]

Cousin Dee stopped over today & I decided to make it a cocktail hour type situation at the last minute. So I made a mad dash out to a few stores to gather a few things for an anitpasta plate, which was totally inspired by the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten. Pictured: Genoa salami Black mission […]

Ever since I experienced the AWESOMENESS of French macarons, no trip to New York is complete without a visit to MacarOn Café for a dozen of these delicious colorful delights. On my recent trip, I tried the peanut butter (turquoise), raspberry (pink) & passion fruit chocolate (brown & yellow). Each tasted like heaven (if it […]
