Ok, so I'm a sucker for packaging. Last night as I was doing some grocery shopping, I found these gorgeous little candies by the gum at the checkout counter. The flavor and consistency is totally random, it's a hard candy, but the flavors are interesting, like lemon, rosewater and licorice...but it's a pretty accessory, and something different. I just love the pretty package, and how they describe it as a "surprising fantasy." Loves...xo, B
Just loved yesterdays styling from shopbop's daily email blasts...they're actually the one email that I don't automatically delete from my inbox. I love all the earth tones, and the the slouchy boots! I will def have to recreate this look once it cools down from 100 degrees out here! xo, B
I'm still hurting from my department lunch at L'Ecole, the French Culinary Institute in Soho today. The food was all very good and tasty, but so rich...and now I have a food baby. I started off with pate with fois gras and truffles.
Pan seared rack of Lamb
Espresso and biscotti
And finished it all off with Elderflower roulade with lemon curd.
Took a few days off this week to head out to Southampton for some R&R...and it was amazing. We stayed with Ahmed's cousin and her husband, who is the most gorgeous and accommodating hosts, with tricked out cooking skills! Not only is the quality of food delish, but the presentation is outstanding too!
Coop on the ride there...is that not the cutest face!? lol
These tacos were amazeballs...chipotle rock shrimp, cajun wahoo fish, and cilantro wahoo fish.
This pic evokes a bunch of memories...I was building a sand castle with the cutest 3 year old while watching a lightning and thunder storm come towards us. The craziest part was when the water suddenly changed from murky brown to a deep green color as the clouds rolled in.
Best of friends...Stewie and Cooper
Totally doing some much needed retail therapy...and of course I hit up Gilt for some solid purchases. I bought the Splendid striped tee, which is actually like coming full circle. For my fully committed readers, you will remember that this tee was on my very first post for Fall 2009 must haves...and, yes, I'm a year late. Well ever since then, my striped fixation has only gotten stronger, and I'm so happy I got my hands on this tee at a fraction of the price! To top it off, I also got some great flats for Fall by Candela...with punk rock spikes to harden up any preppy outfit...Preppy punk rock, remember! xo, B
A cookie for my BF...from Dean and Deluca.
Zen Martini from Delicatessan, the picture looks exactly how I felt after I drank it.
Best shawarma ever from Yatagan.
One of the best surprises this morning...an edible fruit arrangement for my whole department...thanks Torres!
I got down and dirty with my Netflix instant queue this weekend, watching a bunch of indies...and my fave of the weekend being this documentary, Just for Kicks...it's all about the revolution of sneakers. It was pretty cool, and it interviewed people like DMC and random DJs and kids that are obsessed with the sneaker hunt. And randomly, after watching this movie, I saw that Racked posted about the new Nike air force ones Hamptons edition that came out this past weekend. I've always admired the "game" but never got that into it to know about the latest editions...but I love all things fashion, and this was really an interesting find. My fave part in the documentary was when a hip hop guy was explaining how matching your sneakers to your shirt to hat was "just like butta." Love it...because I can totally relate! (well actually I hate to be matchy-matchy...but just sayin') xo, B
