AUGUST WISH LIST

July 31 2012

    I edited my closet last week and took out almost half of the content. I was pretty ruthless with my selection and kept only the items that fit perfectly, right color and that are within the realm of my style. In an attempt to put a system in my closet, I drafted a [...]

JONES THE GROCER

July 30 2012

  I’ve been to Jones the Grocer once since opening only because it’s impossible to get a table anytime of the day. But as people head to Iftar during Ramadan, we took advantage of a quite period at the restaurant to finally have a taste of their famous burger. We settled to split the Jones [...]

TO THE MAX

July 29 2012

  Maxi skirt comes second place as my go-to Ramadan outfit. It’s surprisingly versatile and can be worn all season.

I may not be practicing Muslim but I wanted to celebrate this blessed month [...]

LEMON MERINGUE PIE

July 23 2012

  I’ve been making an effort to get over my fear of baking by trying out new recipes every week and I decided to make Lemon Meringue Pie this weekend with the help of my new toy and my pie-obsessed friend. Making pastries and pie intimidate the shit out of me because of all the ‘rules’ that [...]
