Something Borrowed

On a recent trip home from Vegas, my friends and I were browsing the airport book selections. They gasped when I told them I had not read the Emily Giffin series. So I finally did it. Just finished Something Borrowed and I'm kind of obsessed. In fact, I couldn't put the book down. Rachel's character was so relate-able, and I'm pretty sure I have an imaginary crush on Dex. I may have let out a cheer on the subway when I finished the last few chapters this morning... onto Something Blue :)

Gilt World

Is it just me or are Alexis and Alexandra taking over the world? They are the new Paris and Nicky, the new Barack and Michelle, the new Mickey and Minnie.

GG recently announced the launch of Gilt City (yes of course I am signing up). The site will be similar to Groupon, offering local deals up to 70% off. For those of you familiar with Groupon, it's a great concept. I recently purchased groupons with a few friends to attend byo night at MAKE, a cute pottery shop on the upper east side. I'm also a fan of the "berrywild" groupons, yes I bought 6. Gilt City plans to offer exclusive deals to NYC to start, eventually expanding to other cities. Can't wait to see what they offer...

Garance Doré

I recently came across the blog of Garance Doré, chock full of incredible illustrations and street style photography. I am in awe of her talent and her knack for catching that glimpse or moment when you see the true beauty of each woman. I want to share some of her illustrations. I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Breakfast of Champions

I recently read an article on RealAge.com about breakfast foods that burn more fat like eggs (protein), yogurt (calcium and healthy bacteria) and whole grains (fiber). We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I'm a firm believer. While most mornings only allow time for cheerios or greek yogurt, on the occasional Sunday morning I like to cook a nice hearty breakfast. See below for my "breakfast of champions" and recipe for my cereal muffins.



Breakfast of Champions:
*Omelette (1/2 yolks) with mushrooms, spinach and leeks
*Small scoop of farmer's cheese and salsa
*2 cereal muffins warm with a drizzle of honey

Cereal Muffins recipe:
1 apple
10 small carrots
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup honey
1 cup whole wheat flour
small handful of brown sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup kashi honey cereal
1 cup multigrain cheerios
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg

Blend apple and carrots in food processor. Combine them in a large bowl with oil, milk, honey, baking soda, vanilla extract and egg. Mix well. Add flour, sugar, salt, cereal, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix again. Pour into greased muffin tins and bake for 20 min on 375, until golden brown. Yields 12 delicious muffins.
