In other areas of my life, I'm not what you'd call a minimalist. But when it comes to all things kitchen and entertaining, I'm a minimalist through and through. In the kitchen, especially, I'm about as anti-gadget as you can get. (You'll find very few single-task appliances or knick-knacks in my drawers.)
And when it comes to playing hostess?...
Lorelai and Rory have been in our lives for more than 20 years, and thanks in part to Netflix (and the fact that the show is, quite simply, iconically witty and heartfelt), The Gilmore Girls only gets more popular each year. Chances are you probably have someone in your life who would rather be living in Stars Hollow.
Okay, maybe...
Literature is my love language. I've been staying up way too late finishing "just one more chapter" since I was little. I love a book-related holiday gift as much as the next nerd, but I know shopping for a bookworm can be challenging. What gifts are out there other than a gift card to bookstore?
I've rounded up 12...
These black jeans have become my newest obsession and some of my most-worn jeans since I discovered them in the heat of summer. I wore them one date night with a crop top and heels.
"Wow, I love those jeans. Are they new?" said my husband. "They're pretty cool, cierto?" I replied.
I'll talk more in-depth about these straight-leg...
I think one of the most daunting things about walking into an art store is the 4,000 types of paper and 800 types of pencils lining the walls. If you have someone in your life who loves comic books or is looking to start drawing, I've gone uber-hard finding some cool gift ideas for them. I’ll keep it short...
Things are changing in our house. Our old playroom, once filled with blocks and Magna-Tiles and dress-up costumes and Nerf guns...has been recently renovated so our two boys (a teen and a tween) now have their own bedrooms. Instead of swinging on bars and building towers, there's a lot more moody listening of music going on.
17 Cool...
There's no doubt that some serious shopping happens every November. Not only can we see it via our own analytics (we luv data), but based on the sheer number of Black Friday articles already published...retailers all over are gearing up.
Even Nordstrom who, once upon a time, insisted on waiting until after Thanksgiving to pull out holiday decor, has published...
Anyone else trying to rid their home of single-use plastics? Us too. And while an iced coffee with a straw may seem harmless (as well as all of those takeout bags, candy wrappers and coffee lids), plastic pollution is a real threat, one that clogs our waste streams and landfills, litters our beaches and parks, and, ultimately, harms marine...

I'm seeing light purple (lilac, orchid, amethyst) EVERYWHERE this fall. I kind of love that it's a little bit unexpected and not your typical "fall color."
I usually wear neutrals, but this lilac felt so fresh that I wanted to try it. And the easiest way for me to incorporate any new color trend...
If you're a lover of all things black, you're gonna love this. (Even if you're not that into Halloween and just want some dark decor to liven? deaden? haha, up your space....)
I put together a similar post all about elegant Halloween decor last year (and a ton of it is still in stock and just as cute a...
