Guest Post: A Few of My Favorite Things

+ Sun-kissed freckles. Not only are they adorable, they give me an excuse to go easy on the makeup all summer long.

+ Architectural salvage yards. I have this dream of living in a modern home, sprinkled with rustic details, like this sliding barn door.

+ Being feminine.

+ Big, thick, oversized glasses. I crush on a new pair every week.

+ Hats. My mom had me in all sorts of different styles from an early age. Right now I'm enamored of a classic fedora I picked during a trip to Sonoma, California.

+ Boy things, like flannel, hiking boots, oversized watches, broken-in jeans, and super soft T-shirts. I'm always stealing my fiancé's clothes!

+ Cats that do human things. Like this one.

+ Cheeky accessories. I'm a true nerd at heart, with a soft spot for dry humor. I love these playful mittens from Kate Spade. Gotta find a pair on eBay!

+ The best days start with two slices of avocado toast.

+ Designer Paul Rand. Get to know his work here.

I adore those glasses....

I love avocado! I've never had it on toast - will have to try. An unexpected way to enjoy it? In guacamole with apple. Yes, apple! It adds an unexpected crunch and sweet tang, too. I made a little video about it for those who are interested in the recipe: http://www.jauntsetter.com/posts/jauntsetter-in-the-kitchen-guacamole-with-a-secret-ingredient

maggie said...

love the list, kate!!

Stephanie said...

My husband and I had crab guacamole on pita bread (and margaritas!) for dinner last night! :-) And I'm going to a bbq this afternoon, so I suspect I'll come home with a few more freckles. ;-)

I love my freckles and HATS... all the way :)

Lenore said...

A variation on the avocado toast - I put sliced avocado on a toasted bagel with a slathering of cream cheese and lots of salt and pepper. Yum!

Avocado toast!!?? I MUST try this - I've had a strange obsession with avocados lately (they're just so delicious!), but have never heard of it on toast. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the great short Paul Rand video-I really love the integrity and experience of that older generation of artists and designers. We owe a lot to their work!

Great list! That cat video is priceless. I'm passing it on to my sisters and mom.

Amberdawn said...

The avocado toast looks easy enough!

amy said...

I also adore the design of the Kate Spade HI 5 mittens. I was so excited when my boy tracked them down and gave them to me as a Christmas present last yr. Sadly, I ended up really disappointed. They became super bally the FIRST time I wore them (were talking light wear around town- nothing crazy- it was x-mas holidays!). This was especially disappointing as they weren't cheap ($90??!)

Elle Sees said...

Avacado toast! A new treat to try!

Sasha {Everything Fabulous} said...

Summer said...

In recent years, more and more people are inclined to choose Cheap UGG Boots , but for my part, I like Classic UGG Boot and UGG Classic Tall Boots
more. One of the reason that I like ugg boots Is because of a pair of elegant classic ugg boot. I really appreciate one pair of ugg classic tall boots when I first saw them. As for clothes, I like the brand ED Hardy, ED Hardy wholesalecomes into the world rapidly, and many young girls like wholesale ED Hardy.
