Linzer Cookies for Mother’s Day
May 13, 2013 § 16 Comments
I usually like to hand make something when it comes giving gifts. This year for Mother’s Day, I baked some linzer cookies for my mom. Linzer cookies are festive and they can work for a variety of occasions. Sur La Table sells mini cookie cutters that you can use to mix and match shapes. I made these into a “heart within a heart” shape that’s also very valentine’s day-like. I used this recipe and basically had all the ingredients already. The cookie turned out slightly crisp and crumbly. I would suggest baking and assembling the day you plan to serve the cookies.

Turned the harness around from a suspender type accessory to more a necklace type accessory. And here’s another way to wear this Spring must-have.

When I saw BCBG models strutted down the runway in a combination of harness, lace, and grunge back in September for the S/S13 collection, I knew I had to get my hands on the leather harness belt. I first got one in white and have worn it with 5 different outfits already. Then went back and got a black version. It’s one of those effortless items that you’ll keep reaching for in your closet.

A super casual outfit while running around in Melrose. I apologize for not being more consistent in posting as of late. But that’s about to change now that I’m done traveling for awhile.

So…where do I begin with New York Fashion Week?
Sometimes you have a certain feeling, whether it is happiness or emptiness, that is so strong that the feeling just lingers on and on. The lights dim at the theater of the Lincoln Center, then the drummer plays the first beat, follows by the adrenaline rush of seeing the first model walks out of the runway of the Rebecca Minkoff show. That feeling is unparalleled to any other.
Despite the snowstorm, flights cancelled, and lack of cold weather friendly clothes in the luggage, New York was absolutely amazing. Big thanks to my east coast friends for being the best company/tour guides ever. Looking at these pictures is making me miss New York so much.
