As this photo proves, there’s even beauty in a grey day. Snapped during a walk from Kendall Square to the Back Bay, I love how the pop of color from the boats perfectly compliments the shades of grey.
Welcome to 2014! With a New Year comes new possibilities and I think this whimsical post from Tiffany & Co. captures it perfectly. Given the 26,000+ likes on Instagram, this highly relatable post is also hitting the right notes with Tiffany & Co. followers.

Readers of this blog know just how much I adore traveling. I’m a big believer that travel is about the people, the places discovered and small moments enjoyed, so one can imagine just how many of those we had over the span of ten days from Reno, Nevada, to Tiburon, Mill Valley, San Francisco and wine country. Here I’ll share a few bits from Reno, Tiburon and Mill Valley. More on the rest of those in upcoming blog entries!
A vegan take on the traditional raspberry oat streusel bar, these bars were far too addicting – in a good way. Though listed as a breakfast recipe, I found it to be more like dessert, or a sweet treat to enjoy with an afternoon coffee or tea break.
I discovered the recipe from Choosing Raw. Originally listed as blueberry oat bars, I made the swap for raspberry preserves that I already had at home. My favorite jam comes from Bonne Maman – from the raspberry, to blueberry, strawberry and fig, I haven’t tried a jam from this company yet that I didn’t like.
The recipe is fairly easy and takes advantage of ingredients that you probably already have at home. The only challenge I had was with the vegan streusel topping. I’m not quite sure it came out right, but the end result was delicious, prompting compliments from my roommate.
All in all, I would make this recipe again. To view this recipe in its entirety, visit the Choosing Raw blog for the link.

It’s rare to be in London during a proper heat wave, but that is exactly where I found myself this past July. Mid-way through the busiest summer of my life, I snuck off to London for a little R&R. From admiring the roses in Regent’s Park, to meals with friends and a little shopping, this was exactly the mid-summer break I needed. Take a look at my favorite photos from the oh-so-lovely Regent’s Park.
