Baby delights.

Two baby items I love right now. 1. Funkie Baby bibs. Funkie Baby Soak Proof Reversible Bibs measure 13"x10" and feature a unique 3 layer design: a funky cotton print front, a soft, soak proof lining hidden in the middle and a solid or print cotton back. Perfect from drooling to eating, fits ages 3…

jessica - Hi Robin,
I use a Canon EOS with a portrait lens – and sometimes my iPhone.
I takes TONS of pictures and then narrow them down to the best one or two.
Cheers!
Jessica

Egg Custard.

Food is on my mind this week! I love how this sweet little egg custard came out. I added the berries and fresh whip cream. This dessert is one of Jeffrey's favorites – so I've been working to perfect it! Here's the fashion version of my above dessert! (Photograph by Steven Meisel for Italian Vogue.)…

ryan cameron - you are one great photographer. I really like your asthetic. The pic of Gabrielle is particularly exceptional.
Have you tried a creme brulet yet?

Bites.

Gabrielle went for the bites of banana. (And had some avocado too!) And I love this idea from Cookie for roasted cranberries and pears.

jessica - Hi Jess!
I’m adding it to my idea book for Thanksgiving 2010 when we will be hosting all our family in our new kitchen loft!
This year we get to feast at Jeffrey’s daughter Rebecca’s house!
Love,
Jess

Jessie - Yum! Are you making those for thanksgiving?

Good Pick.

It always feels good to see my choices published or featured. Such is the case with this circled garment. It's a sweet, lightweight wool dress that I picked it up at Anthropologie during our recent trip to Las Vegas. One day later, it was in the display window there, and then I saw it in…

Sam F - Love Gabrielle’s hat–she’s so cute!

Iman - Hey Jessica, I love all your fashion tips and such. Is there a particular magazine you grab for the latest fashion/style at the moment?

Happy Tape.

Does tape make you happy? I've been seeing and reading nothing but great things about Happy Tape. I do believe a few of these rolls will make a delightful addition to my everyday (and holiday) gift wrapping arsenal that currently relies on scotch tape. I'm already a fan and haven't even held a roll in my hands…

Tammy - Funky and fun, but I would never spend that kind of money on tape. Scotch works just fine around here. Especially when the wrapping gets tossed in the trash anyway!

Angie - that tape is awesome…so is gabrielle’s wardrobe!!! if you ever have a need to pass on some hand me downs…i have a 4 week baby girl who would be a willing taker!! ;)

Anne THompson - I have the set of tape in the second picture, and LOVE it! Just bought it of etsy, I mostly use it for scrapbooking, but that’s a great idea to use it for wrapping presents : )

tracy - I have been wanting some too. I see it everywhere. Most recently in Martha Stewart.

Denise - How very cool! Must find me some of that.

Shelly - I trip love tape…but as my sister advised me “you can have boys… and you can have tape… but you can’t have boys AND tape” :)
i have two boys and a girl and usually have to ‘hide’ my tape :)

Erin W - Hey hey thanks for posting a link to such yummy tape. My 3 yo son is totally into Christmas gift giving this year and would get a kick out of helping wrap gifts with such fun tapes. Let us know how it works out for you!

jenn - hehe I love that tape too!

Jill - I LOVE happy tape. It’s great fun!

Celebrate Dad.

Thinking of my Dad on his birthday – hoping that today he looks out to the Pacific Ocean and takes a moment to stop and think and know that he is loved. Cheers to you on your day!
