Pinterest is a dangerous, dangerous thing. I can spend hours staring at all the beautiful pictures without even realizing that time has gone by. In homage to the site that has inspired so many outfits, delicious meals and impulse buys, I decided that HBL and I would have a little Pin Party. We invited a …
Lately I’ve been having a lot of trouble sleeping. It’s 3:51am and I’m curled up on my couch with a cup of tea after giving up on falling back asleep. This is actually nothing new. When I was a little girl, I rarely slept. I had tons of phobias that kept me up at night, …
Today marks the first fashion-related blog post I will do (unless you count my little shopping jaunt at Nordstrom to snazz up my sad sense of style). I’m not sure how frequent of an event a fashion post will be because 1) I am really, really NOT at ease in front of the camera and …
Ever since I wrote about how to get started freelancing, one question that I keep getting is how to get that first client on board.It isn’t always easy. After all, with all the consulting groups, agencies and other freelancers out there, not to mention networking events and personal connections, getting your name out there and …
One thing I LOVE doing is cooking, which is why long weekends are SO nice: more time to spend in the kitchen. This recipe is one of my favorites from Plenty, a cookbook baked up by one of London’s premier chefs, Yotam Ottolenghi. I modified a few things (because the first time I made this I …
One of my favorite happy hours in Denver can be found at Lime XS, which serves generously strong margaritas for $5 until 6pm. Coupled with free salsa and fluffy chips (yes, I do mean fluffy- well, really, deep fried but I try to focus on the fact that they’re fluffy and crispy rather than the fact …
In the mornings that I head to the office in Denver, I reflect on commuting in NYC, London or Paris and wonder which scenario is better: 1) an hour long (plus) commute staring directly into someone’s sweaty armpit with no personal space of my own 2) a 15-minute easy breezy bus ride or 45-minute walk …
Today I BEGGED HBL to take me to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Strangely, this is a place I’ve always wanted to go and it isn’t too far of a drive from Denver, so I thought, today is as good a day as any! Sadly, it wasn’t very blog-worthy. The most noteworthy events included cool rock formations driving …
Remember my absolute obsessive love over pastries? Couple that with the weekend and you get me trying my hand at all sorts of crazy carb-infused recipes to replace the lack of good places to go in Denver. A few weeks ago I had my sister and her boyfriend over for breakfast, so made grapefruit donuts …
Being a vegetarian requires a little bit more advanced planning on my part when it comes to going out to eat. Although I’m not picky and I can almost always find something wherever I go (there’s always buttered noodles) there are definitely places that are better than others. Café Gratitude which I was lucky enough to …
