Happy Hour: A Grown-Up Cocoa

Dec 13, 2019

God Bless, Camille Styles.  She always knows just how to make the season bright.  And today, she is lighting up my holiday with a boozy peppermint hot chocolate that’s perfect for Christmas morning (with virgin cocoas for the kids).

Camille’s recipe features Dutch process cocoa, peppermint extract, heavy cream, and other goodies.  But don’t skip on the pinch of salt (I actually add more of a dash).  Salt in cocoa or chocolate milk takes it from every day to delicious.

As for the extras, I love these Reindeer Mugs from Pottery Barn.  Or go for something simpler, like these Crate & Barrel  stoneware mugs.

To decorate, I like these cookie cutters that let you make mini-gingerbread houses to sit on the edge of the mugs.  It’s a fun activity , and they’re very tasty.

Everlane has some amazing loungewear.  These cashmere sweatpants are a phenomenal option.  I also like these fleece sweatpants, which look impossibly warm.  Plus-size?  I found these fleece joggers.

Looking for an under-$50 option?  These cable-knit cashmere joggers are pretty fab.

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
