nyfw: what i wore, day two

Calvin and Coco recognize our suitcases, so it was a little sad to see them realize that I was packing for a trip and would be leaving them for a few days.  I snapped this pic to remember their ...

moving neutral: free today and tomorrow!

As many of you know, my first novel came out in November!  And since that first day I posted about it here, I’ve been almost breathless at how much support I’ve gotten.  For all...

all natural

Maybe it’s to be expected, but lately, I’ve found myself gravitating towards much more natural, no-makeup type looks.  I’m not saying no makeup at all (let’s be serious),...

crab and brie omelet

Sometimes when I have a really great dish at a restaurant, I try to recreate it at home, just to see how I do (last time was this one, based on a really terrific dish at Minetta Tavern).  Usuall...

on a midnight train going anywhere…

When Chad and I got married, I was a bridezilla about one thing, and one thing only: The music at the reception. The morning of my wedding, while I was supposed to be sitting still for the makeup art...

cinnamon and white chocolate soufflé

If you guys learn one thing from this blog, I want it to be this: Soufflés are not hard! Really! I mean, I wouldn’t want to make them for a stadium full of people, and in a restaurant there are...

The first time I tried this dress on, it was on sale for 30 percent off, and I couldn’t even come close to justifying buying it.  Nonetheless, I was in love.  It was close enough to C...
