I think orange may be my new favorite color. After doing an event in Key Biscayne with orange as a primary theme color, and also putting a fantastic orange vintage chair in our new place, I am officially hooked on orange. I mean...those pants, that dress...utterly fantastic!

My brother is an amazing landscape photographer, and I just had to share one of my favorite projects thats he's done: Landscaped Moths. He took macro-images of moths with a sterile scientific approach to the composition, but there's a twist. At first glance, the viewer might pass off these specimens as mer photographs of nonfictional moths, but in fact they have a whole world inside of their Unknownnoreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489172558445683613.post-86014716103656633792012-11-06T02:00:00.000-08:002012-11-06T02:00:08.136-08:00HAPPY ELECTION DAY

When planning a menu, I always think about the dessert first (clearly I have a very serious sweet tooth). In anticipation of my favorite holiday, I just had to make 4th of July cookies. The design was inspired by the July 2011 Martha Stewart magazine cover, but I used my own recipe. The cookies were a big hit at the BBQ I brought them to.

The meyer lemon tree in my backyard had gotten out of control. With so many lemons, something had to be done. The solution, a big batch of Meyer Lemon Bars. I adapted a recipe to make them very lemony (yes, it's a new word...lemony). Like pucker up and enjoy lemony. They were soooo delicious! You have to try them. An absolute hit.

A piece of chocolate wasn't going to cut it. I needed something ultra decadent, rich and creamy. Really, nothing was going to satisfy my craving but a scoop of Double Chocolate Gelato so I whipped up a batch based on a recipe by the Barefoot Contessa. The result: so delicious! I highly recommend it.

Although there is some controversy about who actually invented the trench, there is no doubt that is became main stream when it was worn by British and French soldiers during the First World War. Now more than 70 years later, this coat is an effortless fashion classic that will remain a staple for years to come.

This soda fountain and ice cream shop is a art deco lovers delight with 1930's vintage touches.

Coming into fashion in 1854, polka dots were named after the dance The Polka, mainly because of its popularity at the time. Now over one hundred and fifty years later, the polka dot is still as hot as ever.

They're relatively easy to make, and the ingredients are inexpensive and simple: flour, butter, sugar, water and, of course, apples (the one's I used are from one of my favorite San Francisco spots, Bi-Rite Market). There really is nothing better than apples, butter and sugar baked to a warm bubbly golden perfection.

Taken in 1949, these photos were created by opening the camera shutter while Picasso was in the dark. Then the artist would begin drawing in the air with a "light pencil". His final pose captured at the end with a single bright flash. Absolutely stunning.
