Tennis

Tennis. Marathon.

Kind of an adorable husband/ wife team. They go on sailing trips together.

Getting me through deciphering a glitch in some coding.

Tedium.

If you are in Portland this weekend, they are playing at Miss. Studios on Saturday.

You should go and make me jealous.

I will be out of town sifting through a huge storage unit looking for the title for my new vehicle so I can actually start driving the thing.

It is "In a box. But it could be in a box within a box. Or just in a stack of loose papers in a box."

Wish me luck.

Spring Wish List

Scout bag.

Flirty (& modest) swimsuit for my upcoming trip to Bali.

Platform sandal.

Ummm...the most AMAZING primer ever. No, seriously.

Note to self: Never tell a makeup sales girl that you want a foundation set-up that makes you look like a million bucks. You will walk out of the store with 1 mil worth of skincare items. Also, worth it!

Cropped work slacks.

Honey Panna Cotta

Hosted my weekly dinner party last night and ended the meal with my favorite dessert, honey panna cotta.

Roaring success. Horrible picture.

Highly recommend making it now.

Honey Panna Cotta w/Blood Oranges

2 cups whipping cream

1 packet unflavored gelatin

1 1/3 cup of greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey

4 tablespoons moscato

pinch salt

4 Blood Oranges - Supremed (instructions below)

1/4 cup Moscato

Place 1/2 cup cream in a small sauce pan and sprinkle with the gelatin. Let stand about 20 minutes or until softened.

Stir together remaining 1 1/2 cups of cream, greek yogurt and honey in a sauce pan over medium heat until mixture comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat.

Heat gelatin mixture over medium-low heat until gelatin dissolves completely. Whisk gelatin mixture into cream. Add Moscato and a pinch of salt.

Divide mixture among ramekins or wine glasses and refrigerate until set, 4-6 hours.

Supreme blood oranges and toss with 1/4 cup of Moscato. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

You can either turn the Panna Cottas out onto individual plates or eat from the ramekins. Top with blood oranges to serve.

Do yourself a favor and drink the remaining moscato from the orange bowl.

Devour Panna Cottas.

Thank me later.

This piece at TBA this year changed my life.

I think about it all the time.

Seriously.

They opened with Rick Ross.

Excuse me while I watch this on repeat for the next 30 minutes. And not work.

Shoesday-Tuesday

Dear Santa,

I would like this perfect black bootie to be added to my wish list.

Masculine & feminine. Tough & gentle.

It would look great with cuffed jeans or pencil skirts.

Thank you kindly,

Jess.

Sequin Skirt

Mmmm. Sequins.

This skirt made an appearance at a Holiday party last week. I sort of love it and wish I could wear it everyday.

How can I wear it everyday?

Also, sort of in love with how it matches my favorite spanish juice glasses.

And how that spanish juice glass is filled with the most delicious dry riesling.

Let's live in that moment forever.

Shoesday-Tuesday

Over the knees. Rustic like.

To wear with dresses.

Like this:



Love the jacket.

Any outfit that would allow me to feel like I am working in pajamas is a win.

Everyday.

Tolix Chairs

I am planning a re-do of everything in my apartment. Looking at these french bistro chairs for my dining room table.

Kinda love them.

Knock-offs or second hand of course.

Tolix Chair on DWR, Stools on Overstock, ebay.

375 Square Feet of Pure Love

When I talk about moving back to NY people wince at the living conditions.

Small, cramped expensive spaces.

To me, this sounds idyllic.

There are only two places I spend about 95% of my time in my apartment. The couch and the bed. Sometimes, I have to walk from the couch to the kitchen to refill my wine glass. In a 375 sq. ft apartment I wouldn't even have to get up to do that. I could revel in some ultimate laziness.

Anyway, this space is clever and amazing. I would like to drink wine in the garden and live in it forever.

I made a Turkey.
