adore: radiant rio de janeiro
my dear sola of onyx feather just launched her latest line of fantastically modern vintage jewelry inspired by the "marvelous city" of rio de janeiro. what is better than white turquoise, vintage south american pendants, and exotic trade beads? how about that 15% of each purchase is donated to invisible children? gotta love fashion that gives back!
check out the entire line and the other wonderful cities of onyx feather here.

peruse: sharks' teeth
Sharks' Teeth
Kay Ryan
Everything contains some
silence. Noise gets
its zest from the
small shark's-tooth
shaped fragments
of rest angled
in it. An hour
of city holds maybe
a minute of these
remnants of a time
when silence reigned,
compact and dangerous
as a shark. Sometimes
a bit of a tail
or fin can still
be sensed in parks.

adore: shaken or stirred?
I've been wanting a 60s-era bar cart (a-la-Mad Men) for some time now and have yet to find anything that tickled my fancy. Alas, cb2 just released an adorable retro-inspired rolling cart that is just what I've been looking for. I'll be honest, I was hoping for something actually vintage, but this little guy might have to do! And here are some of my favorite accoutrements to go along with it. Whiskey Sour anyone?

savor: sweet citrus!
i want to make this cake.

adore: savage beauty
the metropolitan museum of art exhibition highlighting the work of alexander mcqueen was so amazing i am still at a loss for words. the craftsmanship and the story behind each piece was fascinating - and being able to see the pieces up close made me appreciate his work even more than before.

smile: beatrice and boris
Marni’s World:
Beatrice the squirrel surveyed her kingdom with pride.
“Oh Boris,” she said to the porcelain dog, “look at all of this! And it’s all mine! When Papa made that land deal with the elks, everyone thought he was a fool. But now we have all the acorns in the forest! Who’s the fool now? Huh?”
Boris was made out of porcelain so he couldn’t respond. If he could have, he would have said “Well, madam, I might guess the fool was the one giving speeches to porcelain animals.”
Boris would have had a dry sense of humor if only he were real.

savor: squirrel cookies + milk
earl grey shortbread cookies in the shape of squirrels with a side of almond milk...yes please!
this is one of my go-to sweet treats...the bergamot in the earl grey and the creaminess of the butter make for one heavenly cookie. and i happen to have a thing for squirrels, so getting to use a squirrel cookie cutter just makes things that much more fun!
earl grey shortbread cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons loose Earl Grey tea leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
In a food processor, pulse together the flour, tea, and salt, until the tea is just spotted throughout the flour. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and butter. Pulse together just until a dough is formed. Place dough on a sheet of plastic wrap, and roll into a log, about 2 1/2-inches in diameter. Tightly twist each end of wrap, and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Slice the log into 1/3-inch thick disks. Place on parchment or silpat lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart (2 probably needed depending on size of sheets). Bake until the edges are just brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and cool to room temperature.
Makes 2 dozen
