I bought this hat with my mom, and when I picked it up and started twirling around she first said (like the very wonderful, supportive mama she is), "I love it!" And next she said (like the very wonderful, supportive mama she is), "You will never wear it."
Discovered on my weekend wanderings: a perfect gift for (budding) foodie kids...
Thursday night, I got all dressed up (see evidence at left) to head over to my friend Anna's place in Williamsburg for a girls' dinner. The original plan was fish stew, but when a vegetarian friend joined in, Anna switched the menu to pumpkin and sage soup.
I can't help it; I do. It's called a Cakewich, it's $22.99, and it has endless possibilities (I'm thinking chocolate-hazlenut ganache/fluffernutter/banana filling).
The Cakewich is in the gift guide today alongside some lovely dishes for the hostess who has everything, deliciously scented night cream, and Flipcams for a cause.
(Thanks to Anna for the Cakewich link!)
I've heard lots of my bike-riding friends complain about the impossibility of storing a bike (there's no room in the hallway, landlords won't let you leave it on the landing, and nobody in NYC has any closet space whatsoever), and this Bike Shelf from Knife & Saw solves the problem perfectly...and elegantly.
For Fashion's Night Out, Mom and I decided to head over to Saks to check out the goings-on. First stop: the YSL counter to beautify for the rest of the evening.
Yesterday I shot a fashion-related segment over at Meredith's offices in Midtown, and the day started swimmingly, with me getting one of my favorite spruce-ups ever courtesy of makeup artist Nikolai and hairstylist Anna.
I have never been to The Frying Pan before (yeah, I know...late to the party), but I will most definitely be back.
For Father's Day, Dad and I got in his car and drove up I-95 towards Connecticut. Our destination: Lakeville, where my friends Jeremy and Eric have a home, and the neighboring town of Sharon.
Last night, Kendrick and I were craving something fresh and light, so I stopped off at the supermarket on the way home from The Gloss to pick up the four simple ingredients (pasta, mozzarella, lemons, basil) I needed to make the dish.
