I found this faux pony hair poncho at Pixie Market a few summers ago and despite the oppressive heat at the [...] <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yc7kvK1I8ovaeQCDiuT0LibnOFE/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yc7kvK1I8ovaeQCDiuT0LibnOFE/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Nesting</h1> <p>Emily — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:00:49 +0000</p> It seems as though it gets dark these days right around lunchtime and I have an insatiable desire to stay home and nest. My weekend mornings are spent curled up in bed with bottomless cups of coffee and piles of magazines while my nights are filled with movies and candy. {Movies and candy} {Cashmere throw and a [...] <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TCFb3C86Sy-yBnQtQil5l9i9ONQ/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TCFb3C86Sy-yBnQtQil5l9i9ONQ/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Pumpkin-Seed Brittle</h1> <p>Emily — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:00:10 +0000</p> During the fall, my diet primarily revolves around pumpkins, butternut squash, cranberries and turkey. I love adhering to seasonal flavors and all of the traditions that go along with them. One of my favorite things to do is roast pumpkin seeds and as soon as I saw Martha Stewart’s brittle recipe here, I knew I [...] <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RQAGA8y75wuxhU9Ll7ismxICJHU/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RQAGA8y75wuxhU9Ll7ismxICJHU/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Inspiration: Alfie</h1> <p>Emily — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:00:30 +0000</p> I watched the remake of Alfie several years back, but I couldn’t tell you one thing that happened in the movie, except that Sienna Miller looked positively stunning in every single scene. She exuded a laid-back sense of glamor with kohl-rimmed eyes, pale pink lips and a seriously hip wardrobe.

I have dozens of black varieties, a few punchy colors, some striped, several sheer and others made of intricate lace. There’s simply no justification for my overabundant collection, yet I find myself compulsively feeding [...] <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/p46kV409-sN6KjlVDbkyActvuuI/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/p46kV409-sN6KjlVDbkyActvuuI/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Sequins in the Rough</h1> <p>Emily — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:00:55 +0000</p> Vintage Blazer, Alexander Wang Top, Gap Jeans, F21 Ring, Steve Madden Booties I’ve been looking for a sequined blazer for longer than I’d like to admit and this weekend I found the perfect one (for $30, I might add), buried under a heap of clothes, at the flea market. While that may not sound [...] <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/dJDZVt7roBLf41RbpkuqN4SQ8K4/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/dJDZVt7roBLf41RbpkuqN4SQ8K4/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Man, I Feel Like a Woman</h1> <p>Emily — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:00:05 +0000</p> I never find it particularly sexy when a man wears feminine pieces (think necklaces and man-purses). But when a woman dresses as if she’s stolen things from her boyfriend’s closet, it exudes a whole new level of seductiveness that just can’t quite be accomplished in a frilly dress. It’s the perfect opportunity to throw [...] <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1DuNMBC3lEpP59CLkfEqR3pWIu4/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1DuNMBC3lEpP59CLkfEqR3pWIu4/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Butternut Squash Tortellini</h1> <p>Emily — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:00:53 +0000</p> If you happen to have an entire lazy afternoon available, I highly recommend making homemade Butternut Squash Tortellini. Served with a brown butter sauce with walnuts, sage and dried cranberries, it’s an indulgent meal that’s hearty and wonderfully comforting. The process, though labor intensive, is well worth the trouble for the autumnal flavors and savory [...] <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yyv8pd1EIA-gRrhoz-sbOGtHKco/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yyv8pd1EIA-gRrhoz-sbOGtHKco/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Silver Lining</h1> <p>Emily — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:00:46 +0000</p> Urban Outfitters Top & Skirt, Vintage Glasses & Purse, F21 Cuff, Marni Wedges You can tell the holiday season is quickly approaching by all of the metallic little pieces that have suddenly infiltrated every store.

It’s terribly indulgent and a fun way to see the area in which you live in a completely new light. This past weekend I stayed at Cavallo Point, a historical hotel tucked right at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge, [...] <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2RDwJqUug0mLMxj--vu7sfSNzoQ/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2RDwJqUug0mLMxj--vu7sfSNzoQ/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Indian Summer</h1> <p>Emily — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:00:04 +0000</p> Alexander Wang Tee, Wren Skirt, Coach Bag, Michael Kors Watch, H&M Socks, Cynthia Vincent Wedges, Essie Mint Candy Apple I spent the weekend in Northern California and in anticipation of the cooler weather, I stuffed my suitcase full of chunky scarves, thick coats and knee-high boots.

Fall produce, with its hearty vegetables and crisp fruit, is ideal for cooler weather and I’ve been indulging on a daily basis.

What I am into though, are flying jackets. You can wear the simplest of outfits and throw on one of these and instantly up your cool factor two-fold.

It holds many of my favorite recipes, including one of the best oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever tasted (recipe here. Just substitute 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips for the raisins) .

The bulky dark wood was not only uninviting, but the shape was not conducive to sitting at for long periods of time.
