Able is a branding and design firm located just outside of Philly. These animal prints are some of the things they create during their downtime. I think Edmund is my favorite, thanks to his big eyes and bright colors.
This room looks just like Saturday afternoon to me. Open windows, a stack of books and lots of light. I love the open airy feeling of this nook with hanging lanterns and a wall covered in art with ornate, monochromatic frames. I can just imagine myself curled up with a good book and a mug of coffee. And those really are the best rooms, aren’t they?
Posted In house and homeI like Claire Sloan‘s name. And I really like her Sleep for Days series of photographs, a set of time-lapsed shots taken during snoozes.
Seems like gazpacho has become somewhat of a trendy dish lately (I’m nothing if not up on the trends). It’s basically cold, raw veggie soup with a tomato base. A perfectly light summer dish that when served with crusty French bread is irresistible.

Ouch! S#it, damnit, what the, I burned my leg! Omigod ow. You know what? Screw it. It’s 92 f’ing degrees out anyway. I don’t even care if I’m wrinkled. Stupid job. At least I tried. Unlike Dumpy McDumperson Boss Lady. She’ll probably wear her “sensible shoes” again. Heinous. Whatever. All right, I’m out of here. Love you, see you later, hon!!
Oh, s#it. Where are my keys? Have you seen my KEYS??!!
Pasta salads are one of two of my favorite part of summer eats, the other being fruit. This Cold Tomato Zucchini Pasta Salad with Sherry Shallot Vinaigrette looks amazing and super simple to make. A win-win in my book!
