Today marks the day I pulled out the tights. I can't complain because I usually have to resort to leg protection by November, but New York has been blessed this year with a Winter that moved in as fast as dial-up internet. In addition to the elongated Fall season, these things have made me happy this past week:
Last Friday, Stu came over for a pregame before we hit up a Holiday party. I didn't have much time to pull together a real meal, but I ran to the store to grab a baguette and a few cheeses for a last minute nosh spread. While I was in the cheese department, I found this great jam by Nû Lait. After doing well in the yogurt business, they recently decided to translate their probiotics into spreadable versions of their flavors. I decided to go with the peach/honey/cinnamon/cardamom/clove flavor because it seemed very Fall and I knew it would go well with the Humbolt Fog cheese I picked up. The thick jam was delicious and I'll be using what's left in the jar to top waffles for a quick breakfast next week. A little goes a long way so I consider the $3.99 price tag for this gourmet condiment to be quite a deal. Stocking stuffer, perhaps?
While shopping at Bendel's (just saying that makes me feel like an uptown New York lady), I discovered Ali B Belts. The designer was in the store for a trunk show, and I thought her velvet ribbon belts were luxe and beautiful. They are all one-of-a-kind designs featuring, feathers, brooches, or both. They're a little pricy (about $175), but tie one of these around a simple dress and you have a whole new outfit. One of these belts could easily take a cotton shift to cocktail party status. If you're wondering what to wear to one of those Holiday parties you have coming up, this may be your perfect solution - très festive. These two women just started their business, so if you're interested, contact alibnewyork@gmail.com
