Italian Affogato is on the top of my dessert list. Simple to make, it is both refreshing and comforting. Just pour fresh brewed espresso on vanilla bean gelato!

The best commercial of 2012 (so far), “Imported from Detroit” won creative agency Wieden Kennedy an Effie on behalf of Chrysler. The advertising campaign creates pride in America’s tough-as-nails heartland (a la Clint Eastwood and Eminem), while gently reminding viewers that all of our cities could become wastelands if we choose imports over American made.

Fine Jewelry from Chanel Spring 2012: diamonds, bows, and lotus flowers.
Karl Lagerfeld presented “Versailles in a Socialist France” for the Resort 2013 collection, a timely theme considering the election of Hollande in France last week. Beauty Creative Director Peter Phillip used black velvet versions of the Chanel logo as “beauty spots” while Hairstylist Sam McKnight paired Dutch boy bobs in chalky pastels shades with long, bow-tied ponytails. It was an interesting pairing for a season that recreated formal eighteenth-century details using modern fabrics such as tech denim and plastic.
Single-word neon signs are an inexpensive and personalized way to decorate your home. The MoMa and Tate curators would be proud.

Eli Saab’s Spring 2012 is a feminine and uncomplicated array of full-skirt party frocks and slim evening gowns. Offered in a rainbow of pastel shades including pink, peach, yellow, mint green, and baby blue, every one is embellished with sparkles. As I plan my wedding, these stand out as an inspiration for bridesmaid dresses, especially in the height of coral.
Beautiful. Natural. Soft. Colorful. Fresh.

Thinking of summer makes me excited for lobster rolls. Buttered brioche, big chunks of lobster, celery, and a little mayo makes the perfect combination. Try Cherry Stones in East Hampton or The Lobster Place in Chelsea Market.
