On a typical day there seems to be at least half a dozen items I need to cross off my to-do list. They range from large, multi-step projects to small, quick tasks. There are items that have been on the list for minutes, and others that, quite literally, have been on there for years. In order to maximize my time I often don my uniform of jeans, blazer, scarf and flats. It’s quick to pull together, and just because I won’t be addressing a boardroom, doesn’t mean I need to be dressing like I was just broken up with either. Unless it involves ice cream, then count me in.
There are so many special occasions in life that need to be honored with cake. There’s even more moments in life that should be honored by cake but often are not. Much like bringing home flowers unexpected, sometimes I like to whip up a a special little something for those smaller moments in life. I found this recipe in the Miette cookbook, and the results were heavenly. The denseness of the chocolate cake, the raspberry buttercream frosting… don’t even get me started.

I purchased this lovely leather jacket last fall, and I just knew it would become a staple in my wardrobe. I truly believe that a leather jacket is a fabulous investment piece that can be worn season after season and year after year. The weather recently warmed up enough to temporarily put the parka on hold and pull out this fabulous little number. I’m already beginning to picture how to style it come springtime.

The holidays have come and gone, but I always have a hard time giving up the gold, glitter and glamour of it all. To try and extend the life, preferably year round, of these items, I tend to pair them with more casual components. Hence a holiday-appropriate skirt can also been worn to dinner out with the girls when partnered up with a casual tee. Go ahead ladies, make those nights out really sparkle.
I’m admittedly not much of a cook. Instead my skill set lies more within baking. I love the precision of baking, the decoration and final presentation, and most of all, the taste testing. That was until I came across the Williams Sonoma book, Soup of the Day. I never realized how easy, or utterly delicious, soup was. I recently tried this Sweet Potato – Corn Chowder recipe, and it was not only incredibly healthy, but truly tasty too.
