Have you ever made your own pasta? We show you how to here. Try it, it’s so much fun!
Have you ever styled a room that you really, really care about? In the process of making our office look stylish, I have been picking fabric for reupholstering chairs (why buy new ones when you can just give your old ones a little make-over?).

Sunday’s Bakers Will Bake Fundraiser for The Hollygrove Elementary Campus’ Edible School Yard that I talked about here was a huge success. In fact, everything sold out within a couple hours. Over $3,000 was raised to buy a sink and draining system and refrigeration for the school. How exciting! Those who got there in time were able to buy pastries from Cook’s County, Proof Bakery, Craft, Short Order, Gjelina, Cake Monkey, Little Flower Company, Pig & Pastry Pie Co.,

On our way over to The Hollygrove Campus of Larchmont Charter School, Matt, who had already sent out four drop-offs that morning, asked me, “Do they even have an oven?”

Applicants must be punctual, professional, and willing to adapt to various needs and responsibilities.
Full time hours Monday-Friday with hourly pay.
I have a shopping addiction so I was really excited when Cleo Murnane contacted me to do a promotional ad for The Americana. The campaign uses real people, mostly east siders, to spend a day shopping (oh what a drag!) and then point out favorite highlights from the day. I chose Barney’s and Barnes and Noble and the movie theater.

Warby Parker sells eye glasses online and they have been marketing themselves by traveling in a big bus they use as sort of a showroom as they visit different brand makers across the country (they visited us here). This tour is called their “Class Trip” and as it came to a close here in Los Angeles, Taylor who runs it, wanted to have a little dinner for some local fashion forward bloggers in The Salon to introduce them to her company and to have some conversation about online marketing ideas.

I have never appreciated flowers in vases. As pretty as they look on their first day is as demolished as they appear and smell on their third day. Oh, if I take the time to trim the stems and change the water daily, as if that’s all I have to do, it will extend their life to a week, maybe even ten days if I’m lucky?

It’s not that complicated. Making fresh pasta is like giving a big warm hug to a good friend. There’s a lot of love that goes into doing it and a lot of joy in receiving it. Keep it simple and it will be remembered for a long, long time.
Let’s get started!

Our friend Autumn de Wilde holds up this month’s Paper Magazine. She shot the cover and she shot this photo inside of Matt and I too because she is an editorial darling with a style that makes everyone feel comfortable and look effortlessly cool. She still uses film by the way, medium format, so she shoots with intention since she gets only 12 shots a roll.
