Cake Love

I'm making a Cinnamon Red Velvet Cake for Peter tonight. Because I love him and we're cold and tired and cake is good.

Love "Living In"

I LOVE Design Sponge's "Living In..." series. They are so good at capturing the tone and feeling of a film, and doesn't everyone want to feel like they live in movies they love?

The Godfather, of course, is a favorite.

Portia De Rossi

She is lovely and smart and beautiful, married to a lovely and smart and beautiful woman, and her appearance on the View was....pretty badass. Watch Here.

Happy Thanksgiving

I love this print and think it's especially suitable for the holidays. This Thanksgiving I am thankful for the opportunity to study what I love, in a city I love, with the man I love.

Gnome Children

I am very serious when I say I'm rather disappointed at the supreme lack of gnome dress up that occured during my childhood.

Also, I can't believe that I haven't posted anything child-related yet. How un-me-like.

Gordon Willis

I had the unbelievable opportunity to attend a Q&A with legendary cinematographer Gordon Willis. This is a man who completely revolutionized how we look at movies and he was one of the most humble, clever, and fascinating people I have ever seen talk about their work. He's almost 80 years old and doesn't look a second over 60, and is so unpretentious you can really tell how much he really just loves movies. What an incredible experience.

PS: I sat about three feet in front of him :D

The Weekend

This weekend was one of those weekends that makes you feel like anything is possible and like you never want to be anywhere else but right where you are. 

Discovering new things in your new city, Day-long walks, Seeing and listening to one of your heroes and living geniuses speak three feet in front of you, Sunday morning runs to Whole Foods for eggs and bread, Running into friends while picking up eggs and bread at Whole Foods, Feeling the fall in the air, Collective cooking with perfect boyfriend, Laughing, Laughing, Laughing, Watching good movies...

...these are the things I loved about this weekend and it makes me excited for the many more good weekends to come.

Delightful Dog

I'm aching for a dog, especially one as simultaneously floppy and dignified as Bo Obama.

The Time for Gift Hunting Has Arrived

I am always on the lookout for the perfect gift for the perfect someone, and if I had a million and one dollars I would buy all kinds of gifts for everyone I could think of! It's especially nice to look for gifts around the holidays and imagining what I'll give to people "someday when I'm rich and famous." I'll share the loveliest finds with you. Etsy has the gift guides to end all gift guides, and they are updated frequently.

My idol.

She defines lovely, don't you agree?
