    Why is buying Father’s Day gifts so monumentally hard? I feel like it should be easy, right? But every year, I find myself struggling to find the perfect gift. In an effort to make your shopping (and mine) easier, I’ve pulled together a Father’s Day Gift Guide with a little something for all the dads…

    Today is National Donut Day. Let the fireworks begin. In honor of this special holiday, I wanted to share my recipe for lemon blueberry donuts once again. Baked and studded with tart, juicy blueberries, they are as good as you might imagine. Make them today, or this weekend, in celebration. Cinderella dresses are optional. I’d love to…

    Photo via Honestly WTF While I’d like to pretend I’ll be marbling paper this weekend, I will instead be exploring how many boxes it takes to pack all of our treasures. My guess is the number is higher than I’d like it be. However you won’t be packing (at least, I don’t think you will be),…

    Have you seen Emily Bordner’s handbags? They’re really, really good. She’s local and super talented. I picked up this adorable, fringed clutch at Feng and am obsessed with her wrap version and another little gold option. You can also find her line at West Elm on the Plaza. Something tells me I’ll be adding several…

    When Deb of Smitten Kitchen raves about a recipe, I’m always in a rush to try it, because that lady knows her food. This one, “obsessively good avocado cucumber salad,” is really special and easy. Crisp cucumber and creamy avocado play perfectly with a spicy mayo dressing. Try it this weekend. You won’t be disappointed. The…

These jewels are the perfect complement to all the 70’s inspired clothes and pretty pastel numbers that we’ll be…
