MONOPRIX (THE FRENCH TARGET)

Monoprix is like the French version of Target: stylish, low price point, and super convenient.  I love how colorful and fun their kitchen gadgets and bits and bobs are.  These colorful cheese knives are a mainstay for me, and the simple gray and polka dot oven mitts are just cute enough while staying entirely functional.  If you find yourself in […]

FASHION FLAVOR: RESPADO + HOT PINK TOP SHOP

There’s a joke between my sister and I that pops up from time to time: Her friends eat dinner with her at a restaurant, and say “Wow, you’re such a foodie!” She laughs and says “You should meet my sister.” I’m shopping with friends and they say, “Wow, you’re so into fashion!” and I laugh and say “You should meet […]

BLACK BAMBOO PLATES

Bamboo flatware has been turning up everywhere lately.  It’s inexpensive, “green,” and looks a lot fancier than paper plates. These black bamboo plates are the most recent version I’ve seen, made of compressed fiber, rather than with sheets of wood.  The result is light weight, chic, and though not disposable, super inexpensive. These could just be my new melamine.  I […]

PICNIC INSPIRATION

I love when the air is so warm and still that it feels like a blanket.  Any hotter, and it would be cloying, and cooler, and you’d need a sweater. That is the perfect weather to sip wine, eat cheese, and sit on a blanket barefoot and unguarded. Picnics are meant for this kind of weather.  Here are some of […]

ROD’S STEAK HOUSE SOUVENIR PLATES

A couple of stories from my family’s road trip to the grand canyon in 1997. Henry, my little brother who was three at the time, hadn’t seen snow yet.  We lived in LA, and were less “ski bunnies” and more “desert wanderers” in our family vacation ways–so, snow was a novelty to us. Driving through Utah, we came across our […]

NOT WHITE KITCHENS

As you’ve probably figured out, I love an all white kitchen.  It’s clean, modern, and just so easy. You’ve basically created a blank canvas for food.  But sometimes you need a little pop. Whether it’s muted pastels or bright saturated hues, color can be gorgeous and add life to a kitchen.  These are some of my favorite inspirations. Enjoy! post […]

BITOSSI RECYCLED GLASS

When I was a kid, the thrill of a day at the beach met no equal when I would come across a cache of sea glass. I thought they were mermaid pebbles, with their velvety soft exteriors and barely translucent quality. But no, they were shards of bottles and glass, worn down with age until they become like every other […]
