Congratulations, Joseph! This week my husband graduated from college! He know has a B.S. in computer science and information technology. To celebrate, I threw him a small party–only the two of us were invited.


I picked up this gelato cake at a local gelateria. It wasn’t much of a cake, though–a lot of chocolate gelato on top of a layer of vanilla. On the bottom and a very thin sponge cake that served as a sort of a crust. Around the outside was a hazelnut spread.
The living room was decorated in confetti, streamers, balloons, and a “Congratulations!” banner.

Say hello to my new purse–the Coach Small Leather Sabrina Satchel.


I don’t know what’s come over me or why I’ve suddenly become such a fan of Coach leather (I’ll pass on their fabric bags, thank you!), but I am really in love with this purse. I can’t wait to get some photos of me actually holding it, as that’s when it looks its best.

This is one of those “What’s in your bag?” memes bloggers often do. I carry around my keys, a cardigan, John Frieda Frizz-Ease, Trident Citrus Twist gum, a “calculator” pouch that holds Neosporin, band-aids, and chapstick, my blue iPod Nano, Hand sanitizer, a pen, a book (my new purse is small, so this has been my go-to since most of my reads are too big to comfortably fit), and my Coach wallet. Not pictured is my camera, which is obviously taking this photo.

Hi! I’ve just stumbled onto your blog and it’s a keeper! I really enjoy your recipes, travels and style insights. Your photos are amazing. What an interesting place to spend a bit of free time on. How wonderful to be in Venice! Good luck with your studies. Congrats to your hubby! I hope you will be posting more soon. Thanks for sharing!

P.S. Love the Coach bag! Wow! Your bag doesn’t have much clutter does it!
The Sabrina is the next bag that I want! It’s gorgeous and so classic. Their fabric bags these days? Not so much. Some of their newer bags are just awful. :/
