What’s Catching My Eye So Far This Month

Spring is here and everything looks brighter.

As I travel, peruse social media, or talk with friends, I notice certain things that attract my eye – my attention.

At times I indulge and other times I only take note and save it for later.

Either way, the links below will send you on a nice journey.

Pour a cup of tea (my favorite is linked here and I wrote an article about it) and enjoy the escape for a few moments.

Italy on a Plate

The author, Susan Gravely lives close by and I was able to attend an event where she spoke of her childhood, how she got her to start as an entrepreneur and the favorite recipes she included in the book.

I made the Hot Milk Chocolate cake for Easter (page.  It quickly has become my all-time favorite yellow cake recipe. If you need a tried and true recipe for cupcakes then this will become your go-to.  

Dolce Vita Sneakers

I love shoes… sandals, wedges, high heels, and boots and when I will be doing a lot of walking my go-to is a pair of sneakers.  This pair has a platform and gives me a bit of lift. It also has an elevated look to it -rather than a pair of athletic sneakers.

I wear mine with jeans and long skirts.  People stop me on the street to ask about the brand. 

Marie Antoinette on PBS

What a beautiful production! The costumes and cinematography are gorgeous and you can learn about French historical events at the same time.  

Warning: This series is for mature audiences and I advise that you not watch it with children.

Lipstick by Sisley-Paris

I was in New York in February and discovered the lipstick by Sicily.  I am familiar with the brand but have never tried its lipstick.

What are you waiting for? It has such a luxurious feel to it and I love the color.

Here is the link.  You can find it online or check stores near you.
