All Things Lilly: From Target Launch to Summer Line

I sit here proudly saying that I survived the Lilly For Target launch of 2015, well sort of. There may be some underlying emotional damage from trying to stay up all night to tackle the online sale and then getting up early to take on the actual store.

I decided to change that this year though. The more I researched Kentucky Derby parties, the more I realized that I have been missing out. One of the… Continue reading Kentucky Derby Dessert: Derby Pie Macarons

Drink This: Red Sangria

I don’t know about you, but for me nothing is better on a hot summer day than a cold glass of sangria. I’ve been making sangria for a few years now, and I always get asked by my friends what I put in it. My secret is to keep it simple and let the fruit and… Continue reading Drink This: Red Sangria

Springtime in Paris: Memories from Studying Abroad

As I start to plan my trip to Italy this fall, I can’t believe its been almost 7 years since I was last in Europe. In 2008, I studied abroad at Ecole Centrale Paris for four weeks in May and June.
