February
Took an annual ski trip to Europe and visited Megeve, France, Verbier and Zermatt in Switzerland. Ate my fill of cheese and chocolate. Hung with some seriously cool pups.

12 Days of Sugar

chocolate_cherry_fs

Admittedly, I’m the worst at baking (strict rules about numbers and measurements really throw me off...), but I’m really great at eating baked goods. Which is why Tasting Table’s “12 Days of Cookies” series caught my eye (and my sweet tooth). If you're looking for a new recipe to try out this Holiday season, look no further. Ain't no party like a cookie party.

Seasons Greetings

Apologies for the light posting, but I've been busy enjoying the holidays and putzing around the house. Here's what things have been looking like in my neck of the woods...

I love these images from The Sartorialist of women in Paris changing from ballet flats to fancy high heels. That's the real deal!
