A waste of perfectly good jewels

Also because Mary of Teck was a fucking legend with excellent taste in jewellery.

It’s SO HELPFUL to hear them explain why my layer cakes are always dense. I feel empowered!

Did you watch the series Claire did on making layer cakes? I think it was 5 episodes. But she always showed what would happen if you didn’t follow her instructions, which I found immensely helpful. It’s one thing for someone to say, “Add your dry ingredients slowly to the wet ones,” but I always wondered why. It was…

I, too, ship Brad and Claire.

Priya is my fave! She doesn’t have any special training, and I love that she cooks her family’s Indian recipes in her own way. Plus, her dad is adorable.

La Scarola is awesome. Used to go there with my marathon training group for carb-loading group dinners.

Two thirty-something men with their own young families and ever-diverging roles in the family business are no longer the double act they once were. Sounds like a normal adult sibling relationship to me.

There was an article in the NY Times this week entitled something like “Why don’t rich people stop working?” On one hand, I understand that lots of uber-wealthy people founded their successful companies, and it’s their passion. But on the other hand, why not hand over the day-to-day stuff and enjoy the fruits of your…

He’s so self-aware when he wants to be. Sigh.

Kanye famously overhauled Kim’s wardrobe when they first got together. He told her that her style was tacky, and he threw out her entire wardrobe while she cried. Then, he restocked her closet with what he liked and even dictated how her hair and makeup should look before she left the house.

The worst part about it is their stuff is so nice. I bought two tanks from there a couple years ago because I couldn’t find anything I could wear a non-racerback sports bra with, and they’re the nicest two workout shirts I own. Never ever ever put them in the dryer.

100%. I read a book a few years ago (Overdressed by Elizabeth L. Cline) that really opened my eyes and changed my shopping habits. It’s impossible to entirely avoid unethical or unsustainable clothing, but the book made me realise that it’s important to make better choices when I can and to just decrease my…

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, which is an excellent reminder that you never know what a woman has been through and what feelings you might be bringing up when you ask if she’s pregnant. Keep your thoughts to yourself, Anna!

What’s up with rich people and designer bottled water? Do rich people not drink tap water? Whenever you see a rich person house tour, they always have a fridge full of Voss or Fiji or Evian or Smart Water. I truly don’t understand.

The magic of good interior decoration!

OR watch ONLY the second tape and imagine Titanic as an action movie with a romantic sub-plot!

Kate outranks Beatrice and Eugenie and they have to curtsy to her when she’s with William, but when she’s by herself, she has to curtsy to Bea and Eug.

Technically, most of the British royals are “of” somewhere. Prince George’s full title is His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. The “of” part comes from the territorial designation of one’s father. George is “of Cambridge” because his father is the Duke of Cambridge. You only cease becoming “of” your father’s…

Well I was GOING to say that it’s a gorgeous veil, but then it got ruined.
