These houseplant cupcakes are the cutest. They’re so adorable I’m not sure I’d even be able to eat them. What a cool test-tube vase. This sweet trompe l’oeil tote from Martha Stewart would be great for errands and groceries. Last week I posted some DIY rope inspiration from Kate Spade Saturday, and here are some […]

Scarf Updo
Today I discovered a new way to wear a scarf in my hair. I saw this tutorial (the first one in the slideshow) via Pinterest, and immediately tried it out with one of my scarves. It was super easy, and I love the look, so it was definitely a success as far as I’m concerned. […]

Rhubarb Liqueur Float
Despite making a double batch of the rhubarb liqueur recipe I recently posted, it’s nearly gone. We did have help from friends at a party, but I can’t blame them entirely.
