Luxury bites: Salmon nigiri and Caviar egg
Homemade Caviar Deviled Eggs. Used California Caviar’s Farmed Hackleback caviar. Can be good as an hors d’oeuvre or brunch.
Toast topped with smoked salmon and California Caviar’s Farmed Royal White Sturgeon Osetra Caviar.
This was one of my appetizers for dinner at home.

The Mulleavy sisters created a line that’s light, diaphanous, and beautiful yet evokes the Great Plains (e.g. the full, long skirts on those dresses); based on Terrence Malick’s 1978 movie, Days of Heaven.
If you’re ever familiar with their work, they are influenced by something beautiful yet sad/tragic and tell their interpretation with their clothes.
A moment of cute overload.

The Olsen twins dramatically changed what they started with (making excellent, expensive, utilitarian t-shirts and leggings). Now, they added fur to their clothes. This season’s looks are very glamorous and almost timeless.
I really covet their opera-length alligator gloves (they’re lined in leather).
My Homemade Boozy Breakfast Ice Cream.
Made with homemade vanilla ice cream, Hippie Chow Granola, Noble 01 Tonic Bourbon Maple Syrup and Courvoisier 12-Year aged Cognac. Yes, it’s awesome as it sounds. Click on the photo to get my recipe!

Too darn cute to eat and it sucks that it’s only sold in Taiwan. :(

Wang’s signature cool-girl, sporty style gone ultra-luxe. Note the mink goggle-strapped sunglasses (on far right).
