DESK DU JOUR

I was instantly taken with this unique desk setup on a round dining table. Different? Yes. But just as practical? Totally. I love being able to spread out while I work and this seems like a great solution, particularly if you're using a laptop that can be moved in case you want to use the table for its intended purpose!

I thought I'd do a fun round-up of pretty things for your desktop. Notebooks, office supplies, pens and pencils... What's your workspace weakness?

KENNETH JAY LANE ON GILT GROUPE

Just a quick note to let you know that the Kenneth Jay Lane elephant bangle I shared on Instagram yesterday (as well as a bevy of other beautiful baubles!) is available again on Gilt Groupe. Sign up here and let me know what you find!

IN THE KITCHEN

I am the first to admit my inability to cook. I'm generally picky, I've been a vegetarian for four years, and I rely pretty heavily on my ability to make guacamole and/or toss a salad. But for someone who's decidedly pathetic in the kitchen, I sure do like to look at them...

Are you comfortable in the kitchen? I suppose it's not too late for me to pick up a few skills... In fact this past weekend Michael and I took a cooking lesson at Aux Délices (one of the tasks on my 101 in 1001 list!) thanks to a generous Christmas gift from my sister Reilly. We had a blast working on our knife skills and mastering a couple new dishes. You know what they say, practice makes perfect! ;)
