The weekend is here!

January 13, 2012

Happy Friday dear readers! Here’s to a three-day weekend that’s as peaceful as the image above. What do you have planned for the next few days off? A good friend of mine is hosting a party to watch the football game. To spice it up, it’s a chili cook-off too. Any good recipes you can recommend and share? Here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

Working on the list.

Recipe for holiday detox.

DIY gold-dipped bowls.

A toast to friendship.

Paris vs. New York

January 12, 2012

I’ve blogged about Paris vs. New York before, but this print was too good to not include. I love the creative comparison between two — equally cosmopolitan — cities. It’s also a great reminder: Mad Men is coming back soon!

What do you think of this print?

Kitchen humor

This illustration made me smile — Marc Johns is not only a talented artist, he has an amazing sense of humor, too! Can’t you just picture this hanging on your kitchen wall? 🙂

Boat shoes

January 10, 2012

How cute are these Perry Top-Sider boat shoes from J.Crew? I had a pair almost identical to this in high school. The only difference? The bright pink hue! Instead, the shoes I used to sport were your basic shade of tan, which is exactly why I’m thinking about splurging on a more colorful pair like the ones pictured above.

What do you think? Would you opt for neon azalea shoes?

In caffeine we trust

January 9, 2012

So I know I said I wasn’t going to talk about 2012 resolutions, but the poster above made me think: how much coffee do you drink every day? I’ve always been more of a diet coke drinker than coffee, and in 2012, one of my goals is to break this habit and officially make the switch. Diet coke can’t be good for me every day, and it’s time to make a change!

Are you a coffee drinker? Any advice or favorite brews to share?
