She’s been busy on her food blog, Domesticate Me, since 2011, and this year she wrote her first cookbook, The Dude Diet: Clean(ish) Food for People Who Like to Eat Dirty…. read more

Great Bones: James F. Carter

I follow quite a few blogs, many that focus on home design and architecture. I always love when someone introduces me to a new name. This stunning home in Memphis by architect James F. Carter was such a pleasure to virtually tour on his site. I love the classic lines, and the interior design makes… read more

Hat Weather: Jennifer Behr

I must say I have turned into a hat girl in recent years. It can be such a fun way to accessorize, and it keeps you much warmer when you cover your head in the winter. These stunning hand knit hats by Jennifer Behr are insanely pretty. Sparkly, fun and oh-so-unique. I’d take one of each… read more

Winter Wonderland

With 6 inches of snow having just fallen in VT – we are hunkered down and ready for some serious snuggle time. Bring it on winter. I’m ready to hibernate. Are you?    

Fabulous Food: Fjord Fish Market

Since moving back to Greenwich, Fjord Fish Market has become my go-to spot for buying seafood. And when I am at their Greenwich location I regularly pick up fresh produce, bread, and sauces too.

Maybe it’s because I have done some slightly crazy animal stuff in my day, or that I just LOVE pranks, but this… read more

Great Business: Moda Operandi

I met Lauren Santo Domingo in my early twenties through mutual friends. From the start I always found Lauren to be thoughtful and friendly – someone who said hello to you at a party after meeting you just once. Even back then I could tell she was someone with a clear sense of purpose and… read more

Politics: Vote

For the most part I try not to get too political over here on the blog. I wholeheartedly believe that each person is entitled to their own opinion, and to their individual voting rights. What’s most important to me is that we all are as educated as possible about the choices we have, and that… read more

Great Brand: Bombas

If you know and like brands like Tom’s and Warby Parker, then you should get to know Bombas. It is a relatively new brand that focuses on being socially conscious. While Toms gives away shoes to those in need, and Warby Parker gives glasses and eye exams, Bombas gives socks. You don’t think about it… read more
