Jen’s note: Fab Fave Friday is a recurring feature in which I highlight some of my favorite things — in all sorts of categories. Today’s category is San Diego tourist attractions. In addition to being classy (obviously), San Diego is a major tourist destination. The weather here is basically perfect year-round, the beaches are gorgeous, and […]
With all the glitter, bright colors, leopard print, full skirts, polka dots, embellished sweaters and excessive use of the color pink, I sometimes think the designers at Kate Spade New York can read my mind. Going into one of their stores is like sensory overload in the best way possible, and it’s very, very dangerous […]
Are you a lipstick girl? I feel like I’ve recently heard or read a lot of people saying they don’t like lipstick, but I don’t get it. I’ve loved lipstick since I was a little girl, and while I keep trying lipgloss… I always come back to lipstick (or maybe gloss on top of lipstick). […]
Coats can be kind of a pain. You need one to go with everything, which is basically impossible for one garment. And since your coat may be the only item most people see you in, you want it to be cute. I tend to go a bit overboard with coats (and everything, if we’re being […]
I don’t love a lot of chick flicks. I despised “Titanic,” I’ve never seen “The Notebook,” and don’t even get me started on “Twilight.” But there is a certain kind of cheesy teenager movie that I just can’t resist. Here are a few of my favorites (and yes, I know some of these are actually […]
I’ve loved reading forever. I was the kid whose mother had to come in to her room late at night to tell her put down the book and go to sleep, the one chain-reading Babysitter’s Club books at recess when it was too hot to jump rope, the one who picked my high school beach […]
I’ve had Sprinkles cupcakes (too dry). I’ve had Cake Love (also too dry). I’ve had Crumbs (good, but a bit too big). I’ve had any number of random local cupcakes. And I’ve had Georgetown Cupcakes. Don’t get me wrong — they’re good. Maybe not stand-in-line-for-45-minutes good, but definitely good. By my vote for the best […]
I’m sorry I haven’t done Fab Fave Friday for a while, but, in keeping with my Fourth of July theme, I thought I’d share some of the red, white and blue items I’m coveting for summer! Clockwise(ish) from the top left: Polka-dot dress: Anthropologie. How cute is that little cutout in the front? Blue suede shoes: […]
As you can see, I have a lot of cookbooks. This isn’t even half of them. But I wanted to share a few of my favorites. The Gourmet Cookbook: Toby’s grandmother got me this cookbook several years ago, and I love it. Everything I’ve ever made from this cookbook (and from Gourmet magazine) is delicious, […]
