Happy Easter! Joining my friends Mary Ann and Cindy with our five favorites this week and starting with a recipe for mussels with basil bread crumbs. This week, we planned to visit the New York Botanical Gardens and then do some shopping on Arthur Avenue. We didn't have reserved tickets for the NYBG (250 acres, we had no idea we would need a timed ticket in early April), so it turned out to be ...
The Mac Coat from Everlane is my favorite Trench Coat
Today Mary Ann and Cindy and I are joined by some friends to talk about spring fashion. We are all over the world and so spring means something quite different to each of us. For me here in the northeast, spring is sort of the time of year that I pretend I'm not cold.

Small Wardrobe + a small closet
I have a small wardrobe and a small closet. Today we are talking about closet organization. Cindy, Mary Ann, and I asked a few friends to join us to share our ideas on organizing the closet. I have to say that since moving into this house two years ago and starting a new business, I haven't had a lot of time to organize. It's these Project Designs that have pushed me to get a few spaces ...
