My friend Mo was nice enough to spend her birthday with our Stitch n’B*tch group so I put together a little vegetarian salad spread for her. Our friend Lauren, who recently moved back to the St...
In Hong Kong, it’s very common to see mainlanders come over and buy very expensive things–all in cash. So the Hong Kong apple store needs a bill counter at the register. They avoid the lu...
We did a little shower for Monique while in Thailand. It was the traditional, hang up all the lingerie and make the bride guess who gave what. But the exotic locale made it a little more fun! I love ...
A few weeks back, six of us girls hopped on a quick, 3 hour flight to Thailand to celebrate our friend Mo’s upcoming nuptials. We were so lucky to get to hang out in such a beautiful place! I j...
Oh my goodness! I wish I had bought this 2,000 cupcakes ago… If you make cupcakes often, you have to get this batter dispenser. It saves hours of spooning, wiping, and generally going insane. I...
As I was in charge of all the sweets for the Milanese dinner, my last little project was homemade mini waffle cones with homemade coffee gelato. Yum!! I had a lot of fun with this project! I borrowed...
I hope you enjoyed all the pretty food shots yesterday… thanks so much for the kind words about the visible bump, too! Today I wanted to show you my Louboutin shoe favor cookies, which I think ...
I promised to show some food photos from the Once Upon A Table Apertivo alla Milanese event last weekend. 22 bites were served up… and even though they were bites, not courses, it was still rea...
Remember when I did the ‘Enter the Dragon‘ dinner with secret supper club Once Upon a Table? Well they asked me to help out with a Milan inspired dinner on Saturday. I was happy to accept...
I’ve written many times on this blog about the Asian love for all things ‘cute’ or Kitty so of course I had to share this fabulous Hello Kitty cake from I Heart Baking. Isn’t ...
I just have to share this adorable little scenario from one of my favorite nursery-inspiration blogs: Lay Baby Lay. You must check out this adorable blog! All images from Lay Baby Lay. I SO see mysel...
Maybe you all remember some of my past Celine bag previews… here and here… so I thought you would enjoy these lovelies! Aren’t these the most perfect cookie favors for your favorite...
Spring cleaning is something that I both look forward to and dread. The hardest part about it is it can seem so overwhelming… so one day I sat down and wrote a list of twelve things that need d...
It’s been a very, very rainy and thunderstormy week. The kind that makes you want to curl up with a good book and not leave the apartment. The University of Coimbra General Library, Coimbra, Po...
Click here to view the embedded video. Maybe the preggers hormones are getting to me, but isn’t this an amazing piece of viral marketing? Very impressed with P&G. Also a good reminder to th...
Remember when I went to Thailand and went mountain climbing? Well right around the corner from Railei Beach, where I was staying, they just set up a floating movie theatre! How cool is that? Tilda Sw...
I’ve been steadily working away on my tennis game for the last ten months or so… playing once or twice a week… My tennis partner and I agreed that if we got decent we’d buy o...
The other day I was baking away on a Friday night… the Mr. was stuck at the office… and around 9pm my neighbor (you know how much I love friendly neighbors!) rang me up and said have you ...
It’s hard to really explain how obsessed the Asian female culture is with all things ‘cute.’ It’s not uncommon here to see a really sophisticated woman dressed head to toe in ...

I never got a chance to post some photos from our trip to New Zealand and thought I’d use the long weekend to show some pretties with you! We had a lot of fun taking boats, trains, and automobi...
Happy Qing Ming or grave sweeping festival. Not only is this holy week, but today is actually a day off in Hong Kong for Qing Ming festival. Image from Emily’s Secret Passion. People take this ...
My dear friend and neighbor Kirsten had a birthday yesterday and I wanted to make her a fun cake. I think one of the hardest things about cakes is how to present them so I decided to DIY my own cake ...
Hi all, So sorry for the late notice! I have had my whole family visiting so have been busy hostessing… but if you happen to be free tonight, you should definitely come by Ellermann in Sheung W...
Seen on Full House. Share this:
Sometimes a cupcake just deserves it’s own post. I’ve blogged about this recipe before, but seriously it is the best in my arsenal: Smitten Kitchen’s Irish Carbomb Cupcakes. Several...
Our St. Paddy’s party on Saturday was so much fun! St. Patrick even smiled on us with our first non-cloudy night in months and the view was spectacular! And it was warm enough for people to han...
… My favorite day of the year!! Seriously, I think I may love St. Paddy’s day even more than any other. It’s such a great holiday I think in part because it’s a little unexpec...
