DIY Memory Box Display

We just returned from one of our summer vacations and oh how much we will miss the good times together.

Planning for Disneyland with Preschoolers

Disneyland is truly the happiest place on Earth. I hadn’t visited the park since 1987, so I was excited to take the kids (4 and 5 years old) on their maiden voyage, but I had no idea how absolutely magical the experience would be. Watching the children’s hearts nearly explode with joy was the best part […]

September 28, 2011 in All Posts, Bake, CRAVE IT. COVET. LOVE IT.

This week, I’m loving all things inspired by the master of zigzag - Missoni - like these amazing cookies from The Cookie Countess:

I missed the mad rush at Target, but these ridiculously fabulous cookies are far better eye candy than any leftover zigzag rags I could have picked up!

Can’t get enough of the multi-hued palettes? Check out these other Missoni-inspired delights:

a Missoni-inspired dessert table for a wedding

Those are so cool! I bought my daughter a missoni dress because i thought it was cute and I put back the matching sweater for me thinking it was too matchy matchy. I had absolutely no idea I was supposed to be excited about a fashion craze until I read Salt & Nectar’s post about the rush in California. haha! I used to be pretty fashionable. Now, I just suck. hahahaha! I LOVE those cookies!!!

I should have sent you on a mission for me and you could have mailed me everything I knew it was on, but had the kids and there was no way I was going to venture into that madness with both of them in tow. That zigzag print is just rad - reminds me of childhood days - and Margherita Missoni is such a darn cutie, I love the brand.

Of course! It was awesome I’d try it, but I don’t think I have the patience or time anymore - maybe you’ve inspired me to try nail art again!
