Neiman Marcus 2014 Spring Trends Presentation
I was very honored to be invited to the Neiman Marcus 2014 Spring Trends Presentation last week. About two dozen bloggers and media contact were treated to a delicious breakfast at Zodiac restaurant while style advisor, Alex Yanez, walked us through the spring trends of 2014.

My Recipes // Donut Cookies (Just in Time for Valentine's Day!)
Every year, I bake Valentine's Day themed cookies or cupcakes and send them out to my
family and friends with little love notes. It's been a favorite tradition of mine and this year
was no exception. Whilst cruising Pinterest for inspiration, I came across a recipe for donut
shaped cookies. Are you kidding me!? As if normal cookies aren't cute enough, they came
up with DONUT SHAPED COOKIES! Radical.
So, last night I baked and frosted almost 50 cookies while drinking wine and listening to
Billy Holiday. It was my own little version of therapy without the shrink. Seriously, I love
laying out the ingredients, rolling the dough into perfect little balls and then baking and icing them
into sweet, delicious perfection. Yes, I may have burnt my prized ham and bean soup while
cooking the cookies, but it was worth it cause these things were GOOD!
Ingredients:
1 Box Krusteak sugar cookie mix (yeah, I cheated. Sandra Semi-Homemade Cooking right hurr!)
I Cup Betty Crocker Whipped Strawberry Frosting
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
Sprinkles or sugar crystals to decorate
Directions:
Bake cookies according to package. Let cool completely. Stamp out the middle with a round object hollow object. I used the cap from the sprinkled bottle because… necessity is the mother of invention. A round cookie cutter would have worked better but oh well! Whip together frosting and powdered sugar with a spoon. Ladle icing into a piping bag or Ziploc and pipe onto cookies. Smooth frosting into desired shape with a spoon and to with toppings of your choice. Yeah, it's that easy.

Movie Review // Her
Over the weekend, Clint and I saw "Her," a science fiction romantic comedy-drama written and directed by Spike Jonze. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this movie, especially considering the premise of the movie is a man falling in love with the operating system of his computer. Weird sounding, I know, but it was such a beautiful story. The emotions that the main character goes through are so relatable. It makes you think about how we communicate with one another, relationships and the ever evolving technological front.
I encourage everyone to go see this gem of a movie! Plus, Joaquin Phoenix is easy on the eyes and Scarlett Johansson's voice is easy on the ears. AND bonus points for the film score, which was composed largely in part by Arcade Fire.

Book Review // Other People's Love Letters
It's still over two weeks away but one of my favorite days of the year is almost here... You guessed it: Valentine's Day! I will take every excuse to devote an entire day to love. Love of my fiance, love for my family and love for my friends.
Last year, Clint and I took the extended weekend and stayed at the Riviera in Palm Springs. It was a time to relax and just enjoy each other's company. That, and drink cocktails and lay by the pool all day. This year, we have no plans, which actually sounds just as lovely. We might go somewhere or go on a stay-cation at a local hotel just for fun. What are you guys planning on doing for Valentine's Day?
I wanted to share one of my all time favorite books with you called "Other People's Love Letters." The book is a collection of sweet notes scribbled on napkins, deeply romantic handwritten love letters, text messages that will make you blush and sweet little nothings that will melt your heart. I recommend that everyone buy this book and curl up with a big glass of wine. If you've gotten away from doing romantic things for your loved one, this book will surely put the fire back in your relationship.
