Pup Tent is a teepee-shaped structure designed by Slade Architecture that’s constructed out of water-jet cut laminated layered plywood. There are openings in the front for access and on the top for air circulation and a little bit of light. Not only do I hope these will one day be available for purchase, I also hope there are different sizes. Piper would love it.

The School of Life (which I’m fascinated with) teamed up with Morgans Hotel Group to create Minibar for the Mind. A different sort of minibar fare than you’re used to, I guarantee it. Instead of overpriced bottles of water, beer, and peanuts try ingesting Conversation Starters, Collected Thoughts, Reading Prescriptions, and Dreams & Fears to fill that empty hole inside. I’m willing to bet that this would be a hotel experience you wouldn’t soon forget.

The Beastie Boys are only topped by the Pixies in my book, so there’s no humanly possible way I could be more excited about this trailer and the upcoming awesomeness.
PS: Holy celebrities, Batman.

It was 90º and I wanted something light and refreshing, so I made this recipe for dinner last night. Afterwards I shared this photo on Twitter and Instagram and you all freaked out, so I thought I’d better post it before I started receiving threats in the mail. My edits are in parentheses.

• 2 teaspoons grated lime zest (I didn’t have any fresh limes on hand)
• 1 tablespoons fresh lime juice (I’m a fanatic, I used 3 tbsp bottled key lime juice)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup quinoa
• 1 cup corn kernels (I didn’t have any)
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced (I substituted 1 1/2 C halved grape tomatoes)
• 3 scallions, chopped finely (I used 1/2 C chopped red onion)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (I had none)
• 1 fresh avocado, sliced, to garnish (I chopped mine up and mixed it right in)
Whisk together the lime zest and lime juice, butter, oil, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl, and set aside. Wash and cook the quinoa according to the package (usually three rinses in water and simmered for 20 minutes). Fold in the corn kernels and add the quinoa to the lime dressing. Toss together and let sit for about 5 minutes or until absorbed. Then fold in the tomatoes, scallions, avocado, basil, and cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serves 4.

Posted In createEver since making these necklaces for some friends I’ve been flat-out obsessed with embroidery thread. My only tryst with it in the past was short-lived, in the form of 6th grade bracelet making. In fact, some of the thread I used on my necklaces was from the 6th grade. (No joke. It’s in a box with my name on it.) All of a sudden the possibilities seem limitless.
