Perfect Hostess Gift: Nest Beach Soap Set
Ooh, so pretty.
And the perfect thing to bring along with you if you’re visiting friends or relatives this summer (I brought one for Francesca’s mother when we went to their place for Memorial Day): it’s portable, chic, and goes with pretty much any decor style (that sea urchin-inspired dish is much more substantial than you’d imagine, and the soap smells like…well,...

Exciting Announcement: Dove Hair Brand...
So I have some news that I’ve been waiting to share with you for awhile now, but no longer! I am over-the-moon excited to tell you that for the next year, I’m going to be joining the Dove Hair team as their Brand Ambassador.
I mean…Dove. Dove! Beyond the fact that their products have been a staple for me and my family for as long as I can remember, I’ve been struck for...

Weekend Snapshots
Tell me that doesn’t look like the best thing on the planet. That’s the brunch pizza at Gina La Fornarina, which I write about…oh, all the time…and it’s what I ate for my birthday brunch on Saturday, post-playground excursion. (If you go, the brunch pizza is no longer on the menu, but they’ll still make it for you if you ask nicely.)
Following an afternoon...

Scallops With White Wine & Garlic / Mango, Avocado...
I’m very much a creature of habit when it comes to weeknight meals: I have a stable of standards that I rotate through on pretty much a weekly basis, but very rarely have the time and/or inclination to come up with something totally new to try out, mostly because that requires the employment of brain cells and energy that seem to have flown the coop in recent weeks.

Summer Must: Glam Glassware (That Even I Can't...
I have a long-standing love affair with unbreakable tableware.
In fact, one of my very first posts ever was about my adoration of Target’s acrylic peony glasses, and I’ve since written about artery-saving stemware for The Gloss and chatted about how to do melamine plates up DIY-style.

Lust Object: Francesca's Shoes
I MEAN.
Those are Steven by Steve Madden, and I cannot find them anywhere online (although they’re similar to these), but trust me: I will hunt these pretties down (and of course post the info here for you once I find it).
Also: we just ate grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon and avocado from Big Daddy’s, which got me remembering just how truly spectacular the combo is. And...
