  • Winter Kale Salad

    Trying to shop for kale in Vienna is like trying to find an authentic Wiener Schnitzel in L.A. – mission impossible. Every once in a while, however, I strike gold at my local organic food store. And when I do, I buy it in quantities that could easily feed a family of ten. Mike does…

  • Wildflower

    Known for it’s signature wildflower blooms, Erdem is the newest designer collaboration of H&M. And what a beautiful collection it is!

    When it comes to perfume, I am picky beyond means. I blame it on my super sensitive sense of smell. The problem is not that I simply don’t appreciate certain perfumes. The problem is they actually make me nauseous to the point where I get a headache and have to leave the room instantly. Drama…
