I love this beautiful display of cheese, bread, fruit, and honey that Sunday Suppers created for Darcy Miller’s The Bride’s Guide! This might be my perfect dinner…with a little chocolate, of course.

I have long been a lover of body balms- they moisturize like nothing else and I’m crazy the about the glow it leaves on my skin. I’ve been a huge fan of San Francisco-based In Fiore’s body balms for years now {which I always pick up here in Berkeley}. This past summer I tried McEvoy Ranch’s Verde Body Balm, which had a yummy fresh olive scent that I obsessed over. I have just recently been turned onto another great body balm- Hammocks & High Tea’s new Ilha Organics body balms. I love the Flor body balm, which is a combination of geranium rose, Bulgarian rose, Indian jasmine, ylang ylang, and bergamot oils…gorgeous!
Love The Neo Trad’s Plucky Pioneers series- “interviews with girls on the design frontier”. Check out The Neo Trad’s {a.k.a. Kate} 2nd profile which just went up today- it’s one of our stellar clients!
I always love Matthew Williamson’s breezy caftans and dresses, but I’m really loving these structured jackets and skinny pants from his pre-fall collection…

Have you checked out this blog yet? It’s another one of my favorite daily reads that Catherine introduced me to. My Little Green Notebook is filled with genius DIY projects and home decor inspiration, like this silver leaf dresser-which apparently is a cinch to re-create!

It’s been chilly in the Bay Area lately and cold winter nights always make me want one thing: breakfast for dinner. Something about a plate of pancakes and bacon or french toast always warms me up. These blueberry-cornmeal pancakes with orange maple butter are a favorite of mine, but next I’ll be trying these lemon ricotta pancakes with sauteed apples, and this baked french toast.
