One of the ways I tend to gauge if Spring has finally defeated Winter for seasonal dominance here in New England is to keep track of how many days in a row I can spend time outdoors, open the windows in my apartment, etc. without the need for a jacket or a blanket thrown over […]
For as far back as I can remember, since I was a kid, I think- I’ve had a fascination and deep love for New Orleans. The history, the music, the culture and the food. I’d been planning a stay down in Louisiana pre-COVID (that obviously had to be postponed as a result) and am now […]
I love fresh fruit, and I like to indulge in pancakes or waffles from time to time to satisfy my sweet tooth (although I’m more of a savory breakfast kind-of-girl!) so when I stumbled upon this strawberry and peach-infused pancake recipe a couple of weeks ago, I knew I wanted to give it a try- […]

While my Winter 2023/2024 collection was all about bold […]
