living truthfully, playing pretend.
And we’re back! You may have all the best laid intentions, but life has other plans (always). So after a whirlwind summer, and just in time for Thanksgiving, Nikki (NYC) and I (LA) are sharing our thoughts this autumn season – on style and food and otherwise.

Hey y’all, today I’m sharing the next Real Life Girl Boss interview featuring Caroline Yi, a Photo Producer in New York City. I’ve known Caroline for almost 10 years, but she has known my husband SINCE THEY WERE THREE YEARS OLD. Isn’t that insane? I’ve never known anyone that long aside from my immediate family. […]

Our last morning we headed to the top of the Rockefeller Center to get a view of the city. Then we saw the famous Christmas tree (though it wasn’t lit up yet 😦 ) and the ice skating rink. Afterwards we walked around Central Park (and saw the famous Alice in Wonderland statue!) and through […]

Thanksgiving dinner was amazing. Caroline, her friend Marissa, and I spent all afternoon in the kitchen preparing the meal. It was a feat juggling time in the oven and space on the counter, but it was a lot of fun, and it made the meal that much more rewarding! I made my annual dinner rolls, […]
