    Neutral nail polish is hot for spring, and if like me, you have a hard time staying on top of your manicure, this is great news. If your nails get a little chipped, it is relatively easy to cover up or pretend like it’s not happening. Chipped navy nails stand out a little more than I’d like…

    Have you ever had a wine spritzer? I have always associated them with preppy women in the eighties who played tennis, wore pearls and rocked a lot of twin sets. But for some reason, I started thinking about them lately, and I am happy to report these country club members were on to something. A…

    Have you been watching The Royals too? I’m more than a little obsessed. It’s like Gossip Girl had a baby with Downton Abbey. So, I’m sure you can imagine I am all in on it. I’d love to know what you think of The Royals. Are you a fan?

    This Easter, we’re having a casual brunch at the house, and even though the menu will be simple, I wanted the decor to feel special. So, I picked up a few new things, but mostly reworked items I already had. I swear white plates are the best investment you can make for your home. Period.…

    Long ago, I was a very picky eater and as a result, was extremely suspicious about food. Spinach and artichokes just sounded like something I wouldn’t like, so I avoided spinach artichoke dip at every bar and grill I frequented. I had questionable taste, which can also be proven by the cow print purse I carried in…

    Have you heard of the book The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins? I’d seen it in a few magazines and read it last month. Holy cow, it is good. The story follows a woman who rides the train to London every day and observes a couple from her seat and imagines their lives. When one party…

    We took Ellie for her first haircut a few weeks ago. First, she was excited. Then, she was afraid. But, in the end, she loved it. We have started visiting the park again since it is warming up outside. Sometimes, I get to swing. It is my favorite still, even as an adult. There is…

    Fringe is a major trend this season, and while it’s not typically been my thing, I am all in on it now. Why the change of heart? I saw this photo of Olivia Palermo a while ago, and I did a complete 180. Can you blame me? This look is so good. Photo via Who…

    This is spring on a plate, and it can be on your table in about 30. (And, it’s healthy.) Boom, boom, boom. The chicken is marinated quickly in lemon juice and zest, along with a little garlic and extra virgin olive oil. Then, it’s thrown on the grill for less than 15 minutes. Asparagus seasoned…
