Rustic Canyon's Hazelnut Latte Sundae

cnb_2 — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:07:46 +0000

The other week Rob and I had this sundae at Rustic Canyon Wine Bar, and it's awesome. The recipe is a shameless knock off, so to make it my own I call it "The Filbert". Like The Dude, except nuttier.

cnb_2 — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 23:23:31 +0000

Monocle: Tights of All Types

cnb_2 — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:24:12 +0000

The next Monocle theme is all about "tights", and it has already been added so everyone is welcome to start tagging their photos. Use Home>Photos>Edit All to easily add the Monocle tag to your existing outfit images.

An important question remains. What kind of tights will the next Monocle theme feature? I think an unpublished bit from Dr. Seuss says it best:

You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can wear any type of tights that you choose.

From there to here,

and here to there,

tights of all types are everywhere.

Monocle Review: Stripes & Pink

cnb_2 — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 18:34:11 +0000

I was taking in some Monocle stripe seeing today, and noticed that pink and stripes are a hot combination. You just can't go wrong with neutral stripes set off by a bright. I loved seeing each GCOGH member's unique approach, and have featured some of the photos I found below. Click on the image to visit the respective page.

Local Fashion Blogger: Salazar

cnb_2 — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 20:46:07 +0000

I'm pleased to say that our last Local Fashion Blogger post of 2011 features one of the original Go Chic or Go Home members, Salazar. If you haven't stopped by her blog 14 Shades of Grey, then you're missing out, friends. Salazar covers everything from DIY fashion (check out this Peter Pan leopard collar!) to delicious eats. Not to mention the fact that her outfit details and photos are always interesting and lovely.

So, without further ado...

Local Fashion Blogger: Tania

cnb_2 — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:16:25 +0000

I'm excited to be mixing things up today with this Local Fashion Blogger post. Tania had the brilliant idea to include a holiday reading list in her feature, so that will take the place of the recipe section.

GCOGHer Tania's blog, What Would a Nerd Wear, is a shining example of why we started the LFB series. Her weekly outfit posts demonstrate how a busy and budget-conscious grad student can stylishly remix and make the most of their wardrobe. The fact that Tania also happens to be witty, smart, and adorable makes WWANW a must follow.

Now, on to the pants, bikes, and books.

Because it's Friday...

cnb_2 — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 07:37:13 +0000

We don't normally post music on the GCOGH blog, but, after listening to this a couple (way too many) times last night it seemed worthy of a share. Because it's Friday.

If you don't watch this for the moostache, watch it for 2:24 - 3:02. Then repeat. (Entire album is awesome - AM & Shawn Lee: Celestial Electric)

Happy Weekend!
