Fab Friday – Gloomy Day Edition

Fab Friday - Gloomy Day Edition

I wrestled with the idea of posting a Fab Friday today after hearing the news today about what transpired in Aurora, CO last night. My heart goes out to the victims of this horrible tragedy and their loved ones. I just can't fathom how someone could do this to another human being and what would make them act in such a manner. One thing the tragedy did remind me of – how blessed I truly am. Every day on this earth is a gift and, if anything, I'm going to definitely try to live in the moment … [Read more...]



Fab Friday – Gifts For Dads Who Grill Edition

Fab Friday - Gifts For Dads Who Grill Edition

Father's Day is this Sunday and, I have to confess, I need to do a bit more shopping. The SousPug and the Evil Minx already got their gifts ready but me, well, I'm a bit behind the 8-ball. So, I figured, if I'm on the last minute gift shopping fence, there might be a couple others in the same situation. Heads up – both Williams Sonoma and Sur La Table are running killer summer sales, including outdoor/grilling finds so we have you covered with some great gift ideas for Dad.  Plus - I think … [Read more...]

Fab Friday ~ Gardening In Stilettos Edition

Fab-Friday-Gardening-In-Stilettos-Edition

OK – what is it with the Mother Nature bipolar weather. Last night, I bought two lovely little plants for my deck garden experiment and, apparently, it was so frosty in Philly, that the basil pretty much is dying a quick and painful death. However, this weekend is going to be in the 80s. Mother Nature is about to get a swift stiletto kick if this continues. Let's look to the happy side of things – virtual shopping. Here are the finds that have me obsessed this week. Fab Friday ~ … [Read more...]



Fab Friday ~ Pastels and Neons With A Dash of Rustic

Fab Friday - Pastels and Neon

What's that saying ~ Everything Old is New Again? That applies to not only fashion but also to the home. With all that I'm seeing in the stores, if I just saved some of my neon and pastels from back in the day, I would be right on trend (at least shoe & accessory wise *LOL*). So, with this holiday weekend, I figured I'd give you a little eye-candy that might have you do a little virtual retail therapy. Cooking in Stilettos: Fab Friday ~ Pastels and Neons With A Dash of Rustic   … [Read more...]

Fab Friday - Holy Hail Edition

Earlier this week I had to take a quick jaunt up to Western Massachusetts for family reasons. Thankfully all is well but I decided to let go of any drama from the past and appreciate the area for what it is. I took a moment to wander around Hampshire County and visit a couple stores before I was Philly bound and found some seriously fabulous gems, procuring a few goodies that will be making their debut in the kitchen. Here's something amusing - I happened to go outside to get something from … [Read more...]

I can't even fathom the fact that April is JUST around the corner. Of course, you know the stores are all decorated for Easter's imminent arrival. While I'll be planning my menu over the next week or two, I also found some fab lovelies that would be perfect for the Easter table (and, of course, a touch of Easter fashion too).

Fab Friday – Welcome Spring Edition

Fab-Friday-Welcome-Spring-Edition

Yesterday was a gorgeous day here in Philadelphia. The sun was shining. It was close to 70 degrees and there was something about it that reminded me of winters in Orlando – no humidity.  Since I am headed to Orlando next week for Food Blog Forum, I figured that I would focus on things for this week's Fab Friday that just scream the arrival of spring, which is only a few days away after all.
