The rituals surrounding weddings elude me.  I attended only two weddings as a child, and didn’t receive my first wedding shower invitation until post-college.  As it turns out, I am verybad at showers. If it’s possible to do something wrong (wear inappropriate attire, forget to RSVP, ship rather than bring a gift, arrive late) I will surely do it. You’d think that someone who spends so much time...

Admittedly, my sleeping skill-set is subpar.  If I’m lucky, I get about five hours (and never uninterrupted).  On typical sleepless nights, I rely on my phone to keep me company – alternating between Facebook, email, and New York Times op-eds.  During a recent occurrence, I was pleasantly surprised to recieve an email from someone who found my profile on OkCupid. A few months ago, I half-jokingly...

Infusing grandeur into otherwise drab Monday mornings with five things/ideas/events for the week: I.  I am utterly obsessed with the florals from my friend Caitlin’s sister’s wedding.  Tall arrangements have always plagued me, because guests can’t see each other around them.  But by arranging flowers in green foam bowls atop glass apothecary vasesyou get height without sacrificing conversation....

  *Guest post by my dear friend Rebecca Miller Eggs and wine… need I say more?  This recipe appears in a cookbook written by my great-aunt Genie - an utterly inspiring woman who loved life, new ideas, her family, and, most important to his audience: cooking.  I’m thrilled to share the recipe with Table + Teaspoon, and I know that she’d be honored. Genie’s cookbook was published in a small batch...

Infusing grandeur into otherwise drab Monday mornings with five things/ideas/events for the week: I. When I found my apartment, I immediately fell in love with the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street. The place was actually the first I looked at, and the entire process from viewing to lease-signing happened in an afternoon, so I had little time to plan the layout pre-move. I...

I was blown away this week when I got a phone call from the Red Cross Gala to be a designer for their event this year.  The gala, typically held atop Union Square, is making its debut at the San Francisco Design Center.  With Elle Decorsponsoring, the gala is taking on a new theme: Hope by Design. The impetus for incorporating design with the work of the Red Cross is that when disaster strikes, we...

Infusing grandeur into otherwise drab Monday mornings with five things/ideas/events for the week: I.  With warmer weather just around the corner, I placed my order for this luxe locket spliced two-piece by Sydney-based designer Zimmerman.  The composition of femme-floral and daring deep-v cut create the perfect summer suit. II. I’m a sucker for a black and white stripe. After discovering...
