{The Stamp of Approval}

I used to make fun of people who collected stamps, but lately I find myself drawn to any sort of personalized branding technique. From wax seals to irons, maybe it's the sense of pride I get when I see my name on a shiny gold badge, or perhaps it's just the mark of a good idea!

TODAY'S MENU {Espresso Brownies}

Anyone who has ever had a flash of genius in the middle of the night knows how important it is to keep a pen and paper bedside.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for colour! From my very own pencil collection, Kate Spade pencils make a sweet addition to any desktop. Personalize your collection by storing your writing utensils of choice in a monogrammed glass tumbler, like these ones from Williams-Sonoma!
