I love to run and I love my two dogs, Knox and Finn, but I haven’t been very successful running with them as of yet. However, looking at this picture from the NYTimes I have to believe there is still hope since they are retrievers.

An old friend from elementary school, Paige Gamble, designs the most divine clutches I have ever seen and she has also just opened shop in Aspen! I’d love to have one of her clutches in hand for my next cocktail party.

I can't believe it has been a year. Happy anniversary Baby!! 

Mike Fretto designed this eye-catching t-shirt as a way to help those in Haiti. 100% of the proceeds from this t-shirt will be donated to Partners in Health, who's mission is to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. They have begun treating the injured and continue to be a powerful force in the fight to save lives..... We can all help!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I found the perfect arts and crafts project (from Twig & Thistle) for your Valentine.

Why not do something different for dessert? How about a cheese table!! I love these images from Sunday Suppers.

I stumbled across artist Caitlin McGauley in my favorite magazine, Lonny Magazine, a few months back and I have to say I adore her work.

German artist Katharina Fritsch currently has a fabulous exhibit in Germany and it strikes me as a great idea to use umbrellas as decor in a tent! What do you think?

Yes, it is true, I have a major sweet tooth. Above are a few unique cupcake liners which could help provide a fun theme for a child's birthday party!

I think this tent, which event designer Stanlee R. Gatti did for the SF MoMA, is simply fantastic! Who knew AstroTurf could look so good?!

I love how these flowers and orange chivari chairs pop! The contrast of the bright color against the stark white is modern and sophisticated all in one. A burst of color certainly brings energy to this party!

I am having a post ski-day gathering this weekend and I can’t think of anything better to warm up with than a little whiskey. Jim Meehan of PDT, New York always has the perfect cocktail recipes!

Whiskey Smash

2 sprigs of mint
3 lemon wedges
¾ oz. simple syrup
2 oz. Maker's Mark bourbon

1. Add the mint, lemon, and simple syrup to a mixing glass and muddle.

2. Add rye and ice, shake, then strain into a rocks glass.

3. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

I love to host dinner parties and I love to entertain year-round; however, finding delicious fresh fruits and vegetables is not always so easy. CHEW ON THIS has a unique product which allows you to find the best times of year to buy locally grown produce in the New York City area (I am hoping they create one for Aspen too!). All you have to do is turn the wheel to reveal peak seasons and availability: This is the perfect gift for your foodie friends.
