Late summer and this time of year, dinner, so easy. Grab what’s fresh, slice and sauté, and grill up some protein. A little yogurt blue cheese dressing to balance it off. No recipes, no cookbooks, simply get it on.
Blog has been on the back burner, we’ve been focused on family, work, and getting two teenaged daughters back to school.
Family dinner keeps us cool. xoxo
Quick post, we’ve been working trunk, and we’re back on the road first thing tomorrow morning.
Oldest daughter in town from NYC and she comments, ‘more photos of minced garlic for the blog?’, and my answer, ‘yes, it’s real food’.
We’re all about real food, and wine, pretty much every day of the week. Yeah, there’s a little take out here and there, and dinner out, but as much as we can it’s real food, and wine. Best part of the day, in my book. Really can’t get our head or arms around packaged pancakes and stuff.
Last night we were all about organic pork tenderloin with minced garlic and rosemary, and linguine with garden tomatoes, brie, and basil.
Every day dress, real food, and wine, always. xoxo
On the road for twelve days, husband likes to go-go, and now home, where I most love to be.
In the kitchen, cooking market fresh, and second daughter now styling second son’s girlfriend, love that too. Simple flowers from the garden, and the Rombauer Vineyards Chardonnay from our winery visit in the cooling tub.
We’re also back full tilt in the home and studio offices, fall trunk show starting next week Wednesday. We simply love good food and beautiful clothes, so why not work at it?
Every day dress, home, for now.
Happy Friday, xoxo.
Never really sure where we’re going to be, city, country, home, office; simply trying to keep it all going with summer happening all over. Endless kids, friends, dogs…
Cooking and feeding, and zipping up long dresses to get out the door and to the next place we’re going.
Colleague is on the road too, she’s working remotely from car and field.
It’s a little frenetic, yet we can style you for your busy days too.

Every day dress, summer all over. xoxo
During the months of July and August we do as much as we can to avoid any unnecessary trips to the grocery. We absolutely avoid the mall.
Saturday afternoon farmers market haul yielded a bunch of lettuce and vegetables, local homemade sausage, local dried pasta and jarred sauce (tomatoes aren’t ripe yet).
Saturday night dinner was said sausage slowly pan-cooked, and the freshest most delicious salad, could eat that again right about now.
The peas took time to shuck, good things always do, and tossed on the salad with thinly sliced radishes, divine. No cookbook, no recipe card, simply bought and served what was there at the time.
We’re back in the office, the one out in the country, prepping all things fall, and enjoying good food.
Every day dress, peas in salad, so fresh no need to even steam.
Holiday weekend was a mix-up of white denim, blue cashmere, blue hydrangea, blueberry pie, and real white whipped cream. Oh, and simple barbecue served on blue and white dinnerware, with a blue tin charger.
Half the day with a little clean-up detail, and half the day in the office prepping fall 16: we’re going to Saratoga Springs NY in August, woot woot, with this beyond blue leather dress:
More food photos, maybe we’ll do an easy cookbook thing in a year or two. Love good clothes, love good food.
Happy July 5th. Hope your kids are all home safe. xoxo
Second day of summer 16 and like women all over we’re juggling multiple gigs.
Checked into the Waldorf NYC last week Tuesday early morning and barely left the hotel until late Thursday afternoon. For day-long meetings wore a dress each and every time. Nothing easier than a dress when you’re always in a rush. Ordered lunch in, room service for one in a city of culinary opportunity. Needed some down time.
Flew back to BUF with oldest NYC daughter on Thursday and helped her prep a summer country weekend for her city friends, about 40 of them. We did the usual, mac and cheese, chicken and burgers, salad, roasted potatoes and asparagus on the grill, (no more room in the oven), and cookies.
Love the work mode and the mom mode, just keep going. Good clothes help, for sure. 🙂
dance party in the kitchen always
funny bikini cookies, it was a pool party after all
best friends since 6th grade
Two youngest daughters are in exam week, and partner/colleague and I have been in lock down in suite #101, she’s all about fall 16 and I’ve been pretty much right by her side, cheering her on.
Always encourage my crew protein at breakfast. Can’t think of a better way to start the day, though coffee first thing is always non-negotiable. Actually, protein throughout the day is really our game plan: white fish on the grill with seasonal vegetables, total score.
Any free time of late is spent in the garden. Doesn’t matter; weeding, planting, watering, whatever it is it’s time out of mind, bliss. Honestly, weeding and pruning might be all time favorites.
After all the work in the dirt nothing like a hot shower, blue jeans and a tank, sneakers and a floral blazer, all tied together with still wet hair and a make-up free face.
Protein at breakfast will carry you through. xoxo
We were in dresses and heels all week, new boss was in town from Westport CT and it was all systems go. So ready for the weekend.
Last weekend it was out at the country place enjoying the last of the lilacs. Red white and blue kind of the theme, even dressed all the beds in new red and blue quilts. Gardening, cooking, and dog walking the main activities.
Headed out there again tomorrow and definitely packing the good lingerie, and why not. Even in blue jeans it’s good to have the good stuff underneath. Always start with a great foundation. 🙂
Picked these new lovelies up late this afternoon at Lace & Day. Tomorrow, Saturday June 4th, they open at 8:30 am for coffee and treats and a special shopping day with 15% of purchases to benefit WNY Women’s Foundation. With owners Emily, Holly and staff you are in very good hands for all of your personal foundation needs. And for BUF, it’s local, intimate, and fun.
Every day dress, we love good clothes, wine, food, and fine lingerie. xoxo
Whatever the day, days end is always better together. Really can’t count how many meals we’ve put out, and doesn’t even matter.
This weeknight we did peppers and onions, chicken and steak. Added lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cheese, whole wheat tortillas, some hot sauce and of course sour cream.
We were missing a few, and cilantro and lime.
Made the most of what we had, people, food; always bring it together.
Happy Monday everyone. Getting back in the groove here, long weekend in Boston MA celebrating young adult friend’s law school graduation, woot woot Alexander.
ps. almost always cloth napkins, and almost always Pinot noir. xoxo
