Eating alone

When Alex works late (quite often), I like eating dinner alone at home. I cook up extra-cheesy scrambled eggs, or pour myself a glass of white wine and toss together a big salad with tomato, olives, parmesan cheese, pine nuts and avocado.

So, this week, I was happy to spot this book, which features essays on eating alone, by twenty-six great writers (including Amanda Hesser and Nora Ephron, two of my faves). I'm excited to hear about the "secret meals they make for themselves when no one else is looking." What do you make when you're all alone?

How are you?

My dear readers, thank you for always being so wonderful (and putting up with my wedding obsessing). I'd love to ask, how are you? What's going on in your life right now? Big, small, good, bad, funny...I would love to hear! xoxo

Tattoo wedding

For some reason, I'm obsessed with tattoos at the moment. How cute is this tattooed twosome on their wedding day? She looks tough and delicate at the same time.

P.S. Audrie pointed out that the bride's forearm tattoo says, "And the story begins..." How fitting and lovely.

Dog love

An English bulldog to add some cuteness to your afternoon. That's all :)

P.S. He also models.

What a pretty fall dress, maybe with red lipstick and a ponytail.

Sneak peek: The Sartorialist book!

My dolls, I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of The Sartorialistbook, by Scott Schuman, which hits bookstores this Wednesday. It's absolutely gorgeous and inspiring.

Instead of a giant coffee-table book (which I had expected), it's a very thick paperback, the size of a Bible. Scott's street-style shots--from New York to Paris to Moscow to India--are peppered with funny captions about shy Swedes, haircuts in Milan, ex-drug dealers and old polka dancers. You get a fascinating peek into his daily life and the process behind his photography.

You guys will LOVE it -- and congratulations, Scott! Bravo! xo
