Pretty polenta

I feel like polenta is often forgotten when meal planning and I don’t know why. It is so good and relatively easy to make. I started developing this recipe years ago for my first food blog venture. Since then, I have made it many times and it has proven to be a crowd favorite. It… Continue reading →

Au revoir spring

It’s been hot (like for-real summer) in New York City for the past week or so, which makes sense because summer solstice is only a few days away. There’s something about summer in the city that is so sexy. Time to break out the dresses and short skirts! This denim skirt is from Madewell.… Continue reading →

Nice and Paris highlights

From Dublin, I made my way to Nice, France. You can read about my time in Ireland here. I was originally supposed to meet a friend in Nice but because of a travel snafu, I ended up flying solo for my week on the French Riviera. Here are my favorite moments… Watching locals jumping off… Continue reading →

Feelings Friday

Today, I am taking a break from fashion to talk about something serious—your soul! Dum, dum, dum! But seriously, I’m starting this (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly?) series to share some of the things that make me feel hopeful about our shared humanity, give me joy or just plain make me laugh. As we fight against injustice… Continue reading →

Simply pink

So, funny story… I bought this pink number at H&M thinking it was a dress, but when I googled it for this post, I found out it is actually a long shirt 🙂 I guess it pays to be short sometimes. It may be veering toward the Kardashian/Jenner/Rihanna t-shirt-as-dress look, but I don’t care. As… Continue reading →

Pear sauce fizz

I had it in my head to make a cocktail using canned pears. Oddly enough, I couldn’t find a can of pears at either of the stores I went to. However, I did see this jar of organic pear sauce (think applesauce but with pears) and this drink was born. My taste testers labeled it… Continue reading →

Thrifted midi

I love a good midi skirt. I found this one at Beacon’s Closet on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. I especially like the muted abstract stripes. There is no tag on it so I have no idea who made it, which is sort of fun to me. I paired it with the most comfortable tank,… Continue reading →

Ireland, you’re awesome

In August of 2016 I took a solo journey to Ireland. What follows is by no means a comprehensive travel guide or even a “best of” but more of a reflection on what sites and experiences really stood out from a vacation packed with memorable moments. Traveling alone has its ups and downs. I am,… Continue reading →

Stripe on stripe

I was almost out of Target when I saw this dress. I have been trying not to buy a whole lot there, as mentioned, but it was as if this dress, which was the only one left on the rack (in my size, no less), was destined to be mine! Hey, you win some, you lose… Continue reading →
