We all love classic comfort food recipes. They remind us of home, of childhood, of happy times. But in the summer, comfort foods can be way too heavy. Who wants to eat a giant pot pie before hitting the beach in a bikini? No one. Ever. Instead, try a lighter version of the classic comfort foods. These spinach ricotta meatballs are so good, you won't even miss the meat. Click below for recipe.
As a stylist, it’s my job to constantly be on the lookout for new resources for my clients in order to best serve their wardrobing needs. This includes building relationships with other style professionals such as hairstylists and makeup artists, test-driving cobblers and tailors in different areas and, of course, investigating new brands and designers and seeking out new boutiques and local vendors.
This weekend we were at a family reunion in NY. My mother-in-law had bought Alex a nice plaid Ralph Lauren button down to wear. It was torture getting him to put it on. His argument was that it did not have any letters and numbers on it. He flat out refused to wear it. I told him there were letters but they were hidden. An "H" in the yellow lines. An "L" in the green. He looked like he might be convinced.
Summertime is ideal for partying, indulging and scarfing down loads of mouthwatering foods. It's kind of unfair, since summertime is also when we want to look amazing in bikinis. No one wants to wear the granny bathing suit, right? These buffalo cauliflower bites solve both problems. They taste fantastic, giving you all the flavors of a real buffalo wing. But they're easy on the waistline. Perfect for summertime lounging.
Customer feedback is great, especially when it's a lovely handwritten note. Many thanks to you too, Lisa, for the kind words!
Fashion blogger, Glamvolution, paired our 3/4 sleeve boat neck with a tea length skirt for a modern take on a vintage look.
Let’s talk about undergarments and, specifically, how to keep your undergarments undercover. Though I have blogged on this topic many times before, it always bears mentioning again, especially as the hotter weather requires less clothing, lighter weight materials and lighter colors.

There is no end to the funny things that come out of children's mouths. Alex, my three and a half year old is no exception. I thought I would share some funny things he has said the past few weeks.
If I had my way, I’d eat guacamole every day. With a big bag of salty, lime-drizzled chips. While laying on a beach with a tropical drink next to me. It’s certainly one of the better dips, with creamy, flesh avocados taking the lead. A simple, flavorful guac doesn’t need much: just a quick drizzle of lime, some red onion and a little cilantro are more than enough.
In my 5+ years working as a personal shopper and stylist, I can confidently say that 85% of people are wearing their clothing the wrong size (or in the wrong cut) and 98% of those people are wearing their clothing too big (or cut too full). While a personal stylist and shopper (or a talented and trusted sales associate that truly has your best interest in mind vs. the interest of the store or brand that they work for) is perhaps the best person to help you evaluate your choice of size and cut, your husband or boyfriend may also be able to help.
