Sometimes the thirst generated by shopping with your mom and sister can only be quenched by a pink drink that contains tequila and is low in sugar.

christopher plummer wears a watch.
Christopher Plummer is a no nonsense man with a lot of business to attend to. Since he lives in the infamous city of Johannesburg he keeps his preferred timepiece, his Cartier Tank Solo, in the bank vault and instead opts to wear a watch of rubber, so as not to draw the unwanted attention of gangsters and thieves.
Christopher Plummer you are such an understated and elegant gentleman.
consumerist: series 3. catbird at home
Besides being my go-to spot for jewelry, catbird curates and sells amaze home goods, art, candles and fantastic little presents and cards for your extra especial ladeez. When last in New York I picked up this bowl to corral my nightstand nonsense and this little pencil satchel which says ‘these machines kill fascists’ which is a shout out to Woody Guthrie who was a BAMF and also,I like to believe the pen IS mightier than the sword (most of the time?).

Aside
Today Christopher Plummer is rocking a turban from American Apparel. His pose is reminiscent of a young Elizabeth Taylor.
diy: travel jewelry pouch
A while ago I ordered Kathleen Whitaker’s staple earring from Pretty Mommy. It came in the most adorable little bag. I used the bag constantly to store my jewels while traveling, or working out or showering at the gym. I sort of ran it into the ground so I made some DIY replacements.
Materials:
muslin
red, black thread
needle
pins
scissorsblack cord
(optional) embroidery hoop
django unchained white cake
While watching Django Unchained (who else has an unsettling crush on Christoph Walz?) all I could think through the shooting is “Damn, I’d love some of that white cake.” White cake is a Whole Thing in the south so I used a recipe that was a winner of a contest from Southern Living magazine.
Ingredients
Cake:
Parchment paper
1 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda!!)
5 egg whites
Vanilla Buttercream frosting:
1 cup butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (32-oz.) package powdered sugar
6 to 7 Tbsp. milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
