Their recipe is reproduced after the jump.

Olivia and the Date VI
Olivia is up at 10:00 am on a Saturday. Not something she’s done voluntarily since she graduated from college. When it happened involuntarily, it was because once she was returning home at 10:00 am (scary story she’ll save for later). She looks at herself in the bathroom mirror and fluffs up her bed head, brushes her teeth, swipes pink lip gloss on, throws on a white tank top, and silk...

Amanda Uprichard dresses are perfect for graduations, proms, and other festive Spring occasions. Try a long flowy dress in a print that tells of fairy tales and hope, or a dress cut in a beautiful hibiscus hue that falls above the knee. Either way your AU dress will tide you well.

Mother’s Day in the United States was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother. She worked tirelessly for Mother’s Day to be recognized as a national holiday and was rewarded in 1914.
“A mother is the truest friend we have…,” said Washington Irving, and don’t we agree! We agree so much that we vote for Mother’s Day to...

The bell rings, and even though her heart’s sprinting, she doesn’t sweat. She gives herself another look in the mirror—hair in an updo, bold lip, sumptuous silk grazing her skin. When she opens the door, he gasps. Then: Damn! What’s for dinner?

We lost two great and inspiring women this weekend: Fashion Designer Lilly Pulitzer and Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
