That's My Jam

INNA-jam-12-up3

Have you guys heard of Inna Jam? It's a Berkley based jam company with flavors like Santa Rosa Plum, Marion Blackberry and Plenty Spicy Jalapeno. Inna Jam offers seasonal jam subscriptions for Summer, Spring, Winter and Fall - such a good gift idea! Jams are available for purchase on the website, and are delivered by bicycle in the Berkley area. Cute!!

Plus - the packaging is so right up my alley. To get your own jar, visit innajam.com.

This weekend was Danny Meyer themed with brunch at Union Square Cafe, dinner at Blue Smoke and drinks at North End Grill. Needless to say, I was well-fed. In between all the feasting, I made a trip to the Greenmarket for some flowers and got around to sprucing up my night stand. Hope your weekend was good!

How cute are sisters Emma and Lucy Chadwick? Emma is a ballet dancer in Switzerland and Lucy is the director of an art gallery. Makes me wish I had a sister (with a great closet.). See more picks of the sisters Chadwick here.

A.P.C does your laundry

Picture 2

I hate doing laundry, but this little bottle of detergent stopped me in my tracks. Best of all, it smells like lemon and cedarwood. If my laundry soap looked (and smelled) like this, I might be persuaded to make it down to the laundromat a little more. At $35 a bottle, that won't be happening anytime soon, but a girl can dream :)

available for purchase at A.P.C.

At home with Taylor...
