I'm feeling inspired by this refreshing color combination.
A punch of turquoise mixed with gold really helps to brighten a gray day.

I recently heard that Jay-Z and Beyonce's new baby received a Swarovski covered bathtub and high chair, and frankly I wasn't at all shocked. Since everyone loves good bling here are a few of my favs.

Basketball Thoughts
Went to see the Knicks/Lakers game the other night
and now I'm having hoop dreams....
These sneakers from Isabel Marant and Ash have been running
through my mind!
Thinking more basketball-Vogue and less basketball-Jones
This piece byDavid Hammonsis one of my favorite pieces of art that I have ever seen!
I want this!
These are customizable and affordable!
Get them here: The Goodie Bag
Maybe I will buy one that says "Lin" and throw it on the court!
Now that would be a slam dunk!
Happy Fat Tuesday!
In honor of Mardi Gras, I am sharing my favorite southern recipe.
It is an Emeril Lagasse recipe that I have been making on New Year's Day forever, but I think it is only fitting for fat tuesday as well!
Not only is it one of the best things you will ever taste, it is super easy.So, eat up...and then go on a cleanse!
