GROUP PROJECT:

1. Would love to know what stood out to you in this piece, so I can have a feel for all my readers’ taste and hone in on it!

2. I’m working on developing my “making my kitchen my favorite restaurant” series and developing recipes right now for some basics that are typically bought in stores. Homemade granola, coffee syrups…what else should I add to my list?

Thank you all! Really grateful for you!

Oh my gosh, the Levenger pens look so cool! I checked out their website but the ones I like (at first sight) are like 78 euros. 🥲

Also liked the Tisbé jewellery collection (though the style of the brand itself isn't really me) and horse tote!

Oh, homemade açai bowl would be so awesome to add to your series too, if that's up your alley.

Yes, they've got pens at a lower price point too, but it seems like you have good taste! Haha! Isn't the jewelry brand fascinating? It's not my typical style, but I am drawn to their designs for sure! And yes to açai — great idea!

1. Detailing food at the events! 100% yes. It makes it more immersive. I too have had a delicious yuzu chamomile cocktail (albeit like 8 years ago) that I couldn't stop talking about SO MUCH that the restaurant staff gave me the cocktail designer's Instagram so I could thank her 🤣 I got to imagine drinking it when you mentioned it. I also love fonts! The one you shared is an absolute beauty; vintage newspapers and maps are high on my list of interests.

2. I'm planning to head the "fancy jam" route and would love your recipes. You talk about wondering if being a "nose" is your lost calling... I wonder if recipe development (or cocktail design) is one of mine!

Happy early Gal-entines.

Happy early Galentines back to you! And YAY glad you are up for the food details too. I love that you thanked the designer haha.

Jam is a GO! Great idea! Sounds like you should definitely be making some cocktails to share ;)

Oh my gosh the blue sezane sweater!!! It's so so cute! I also loved their collection with Sea, but I hopped on right away and they were instantly sold out of the clogs I wanted. Maybe I should check the NYC store!

The clogs are adorable!

I loved Du and Berry’s brand! It was so much fun to hear about the pork buns (they looked so good!) and the founder’s heart behind the stitches. I think my favorite outfit that you listed was either the mohair vest (the color was fabulous) or the icy dress. The dress was simply magical!

I don’t know if this would be feasible, but I’m super curious as to how you crafted your teas when you owned Twenty-Seven. It sounds super neat! Also, a super quick (and easy) sweet treat to have readily available for delighting unexpected guests would be nice.

This post was fabulous as always! :D

Oh I love that! I will need to make a tea menu from the store — I have all the old recipes still. Thank you for the inspiration!

And yes - the vest is very dreamy!
