Rainboots for everyday adventures (and traveling)

Two weeks ago, we talked about the five best shoes for traveling. But! A few readers pointed out that Hunter boots are tough squeeze into a suitcase (true). Happily, I was able to find two easy-to-wear-pack boots, which I love...
Loeffler Randall makes the chicest rain boots. (I always spot gorgeous women wearing these around downtown Manhattan.) The bonus is, they look like cool booties even when it's not raining. So you don't have to switch your shoes when you get to dinner or work. They're a splurge, but you could keep them your whole life! I'm saving my pennies for these:)
Redfoot makes foldable rain boots! How genius is that?! You could just pop them in your suitcase. They're lightweight and waterproof, and have a fleece lining for warmth.

Which would you choose? Which suits your personality best? xoxo

Happy birthday, Lucy!

Happy birthday to my twin sister Lucy, who's coming to visit this weekend! You have been the best to grow up with.

P.S. For her birthday, I got her this new book. Did you ever read this magical book growing up?! It was the inspiration.

Under the weather

This weekend Toby and I came down with a 24-hour flu of some sort, and it was not pretty. I could barely move or speak and at one point actually thought I might be dying. Poor Alex spent the weekend tending to us, and instead of the romantic candlelit birthday dinner he had planned, he made me dry toast and read my book out loud until I fell asleep (which was romantic in its own way:)

The happy news is that...we survived! Anyway, still recouping, and I'll see you guys tomorrow. xoxo Hope you're all feeling well.

Bella Ford, vero? Pulita poi fa tutto un altro effetto!

What's your favorite (and sexiest) body part?

My friend L. and I were recently hanging out, when our conversation turned to dating and sex. "I feel amazing as soon as I take off my shirt," she admitted. "My breasts are my showpiece." It made me laugh; her confidence was inspiring.

I'm pale as a ghost and flat as a board, but I have to say, I really like my freckles, especially the Big Dipper constellation on my right thigh :) What do you love about your body? Your hair? Your eyes? Your legs?

Wednesday giveaway!

Today's giveaway is from Sakura Bloom, a sling company founded by a mother of two in Massachusetts. She crafts baby slings using all natural fibers: linen and silk. Slings are surprisingly easy to use, and your baby nestles cozily up against your heartbeat. I'm a huge fan of them, and Toby loves cuddling up in ours; they're a lifesaver if you have a fussy baby or want your little one to nap while you're on the go. And slings look beautiful, too--my friend even wore hers to a wedding!

Today, Sakura Bloom is offering one lucky reader a $200 gift certificate to choose her favorite sling. Aren't they lovely? Which would you pick?

For a chance to win, please visit Sakura Bloom, and leave a comment below. A winner will be chosen at random tomorrow. Good luck! Update: Miki is our winner. Thanks for playing.

Baked potato bar

We recently invited six friends over for dinner, and instead of juggling recipes (we aren't fancy cooks), we did a baked potato bar! Alex baked the potatoes in the oven for an hour, and we put out bowls with tons of toppings. Our list of toppings: butter, black pepper, goat cheese, sautéed spinach, avocados, chicken, brie and cranberry sauce, chili, grated cheddar cheese, sautéed mushrooms, onions and garlic. (I also wanted to do sour cream with caviar--how fabulous would that be? Next time!) It was super easy and delicious. What toppings do you like on baked potatoes? Any weird ones?

P.S. And a staring contest:)

Wine documentary


This soon-to-be-released documentary looks amazing: Somm is the story of four sommeliers attempting to pass the Master Sommelier exam, a grueling test with one of the lowest pass rates in the world. The exam covers literally anything having to do with wine, including history, geography and blind tastings. The four guys, who have been preparing for years, say that they're truly obsessed, and you can feel their athlete-like tension on the screen. What a fascinating peek into a competitive, high-brow world that most people never see. Would you watch this?

P.S. The 10 best documentaries, and the dos and don'ts of drinking wine.

occurrences and attachment for pallid Ink Tattoos

When you hear employees chatting about attaining a colorless ink tattoo, they typically malicious a organization which is in all pallid ink in addition to no varying colours. These tats are frequently more subtle than the blaringly blaring designs you can obtain plus black ink or coloured marks. A ashen ink tattoo will more constantly than not, glimpse more such as a scar/brand. It is a excessive passage to pay money for inked in a more inner most access. These marks are frequently only essentially evident when you deliberately become visible it a big wig. It is the desirable of both worlds. You might have your precisely deepest ability, without reaching any charitable of negative notice at formal gatherings or at essay.

Simplicity is key when it comes to colorless ink tattoos. stock in information that your tattoo artiste will be executing also ink which is a youthful speck trickier to talk over with. Simplistic skill has a compact picture at exposure up more apparently than a complicated one. in vogue options accommodates introducing big name tattoos, dragons, inscribing, key tattoos, Kanji emblem, hearts, and monolithic tribal routines. These are so a great deal of more leisurely to ink and passage less possible to finish up as a perplexing and discomforting blur. All colorless tattoos will involve to be inked beyond a few times to style certain the made ready practice is as visible as conceivable. still, darker coloured skin tends to irrigate the sunbeams of pallid ink.

as well as a usual tattoo, the blueprint is frequently stenciled in in advance shading begins. The outlines are achieved as well as a already dark ink, normally black. This grants a highly evident routine the player uses to hold on go after. Tats without any already dark ink have a propensity to be a grain more blurred. It is more existent to trail no matter what you have inked when through only sallow ink. If a many coloured ink is hand-me-down as well as the pallid, it may perhaps final result in blended destruction.

The ink second hand is comprehensively various from base ashen inks which tint variegated colours. When second hand as the imperative ink, you get hold of a a lot of thicker, zenith attribute multiplicity which is generated soley to podium out as a great deal of as it may possibly.

colorless ink tattoos will lose a bulk of their sunbeams and clarity if they are all the time in the sunlight. If you get hold of this class of arrangement, be certain to hold it out of the sun as a great deal of as that you can think of. The most easygoing road to do this is to buy inked in an region which you customarily protection up. Your back or chest class for convenient areas. If you customarily wear outfit and a grain more shelter in the summer, you may well further venture via your shoulder or delicately under the ankle. (stock in hint - any tattoo meted out intimate a bone will slighted more than one that is plant on muscle) .

If a stencil is second hand on your sallow ink tattoo, the actor might either type the abstract in your own blood or also purple dye. As a example, your blood might at times tint the ink pink, and the purple could similarly combination. Your desirable dice is to have a pro do a effortless organization without a stencil. Ask your tattoo artiste if he or she has a good deal of occasion and ashen ink beforehand you accepted them exert a pull on on your skin.

from time to time staff have a couple embarrassing reactions to pallid ink. Reactions may possibly still manifest itself and black ink, other than they are occur more forever plus pallid. Reactions accommodates itching and emaciation. In one or two cases the ink may possibly as well circle yellow if it mixes as well as sweat. As a impediment route, there is nil misguided also an invitation for a youthful sample ink in the destination you are attempting to have the inclusive plot. This access you be more sure that you will be vanished also a intense tattoo as a substitute of an revolting scar.

As also any ink, if you do not set in the struggle to hold really extraordinary affection of your fresh tattoo, you may perhaps full up in addition to something that only just about resembles the skill you looked-for. Don't itch or meet the region. ceaselessly take the gauze on for the minimum of 2 hours. in no way forever protection up a modern-day tattoo and plastic/saran wrap. fritter away only meek dampen, balmy liquid antibacterial soap, and your own manpower to bright the district. jokily dab plus paper towel to dry it off. Do not deposit whatsoever admire sunscreen or Neosporin above the district. in the end - carry spare attachment to not admitted your current tattoo to procure more than usually a good deal of sunshine excepting it heals.

competently chase these steps and you will have the advisable randomness of creating a evident yet subtle organization you would come into sight of to your friends.
