Strawberry Bruschetta

Trust me when I say that this Strawberry Bruschetta is just as delicious as it is pretty!

Yellow Cardi

I have to say, I would never imagine wearing my cardigan backwards like Miss Yellow Cardigan seen in the Sartorialist's NYC picture. But, the combo of this with her lady-like polka dot dress and chunky clogs makes me want to give it a thought!

Chicago

I thought I would share a few pictures from a recent girl's weekend trip to Chicago. What a wonderful city and one that I really should visit more often! Sadly, the weather wasn't very kind to us and the chilly rain forced us to bundle up in our winter coats and my $5 Walgreens leopard (I just had to!) umbrella became my best friend. A new rule is now enforced in my book : "Any travel taken during winter months before May will be to a warm sunny climate." Aside from the rain, we had a lovely weekend filled with outstanding food, boutique shopping and an afternoon at the Art Institute. Two highlights would definitely have to be our delicious meal at Girl & the Goat restaurant and also a successful stop at very cute Eskell boutique. Chicago : I hope to see you again soon!

Lemon Curd

A few years ago a friend of mine hosted a very elegant tea party. We were required to wear hats and sip from our favorite tea cups. The menu included tiny tea sandwiches, pretty pastries and of course endless tea options. One of the treats that stands out most was her homemade lemon curd and I remember I couldn't get enough of it! For some reason I haven't had lemon curd since, but when I came across a homemade lemon curd ice recipe cream recipe, my mouth watered, and I was certain it would become one of my favorites. What a disappointment! I guess my taste has changed and sadly I didn't have more than a few bites. At least the jar makes for a cute candle holder!
