music to listen to



i think the ladies are starting to infiltrate my music preferences & when hearing this via dj res - i was hooked. gui boratto's take my breath away is completely addicting, with no turning back topping my list. i don't tend to hunt down electronic, but i can't say no to something that falls in my lap. now i'm just counting down until the april 8 show at nectar lounge.

music to listen to



cotton jones is some sort of wonderful. michael nau and whitney mcgraw make up this east coast duo with a sweet, yet dark sound (the opening track, up a tree, feels like jim morrison). i definitley recommend picking up paranoid cocoon & going for a long walk. another big shout out to dk, the ultimate music guide.

this set for $100 is unbeatable & the perfect addition to a small living area. they need a little tlc - maybe new foam cushion; for the price, a little work shouldn't be a deterrent.

still dottie fashion blitz - april lucky's floral print guide

the april issue of lucky has a great piece on this season's mini florals. i often think that their guides are less than ideal, but this one caught my eye. so much, that i pulled my mini florals to the front of my closet & found a great tunic at buffalo exchange for $11.

i'd love to get my hands on this piece too.

still dottie bakes s'mores - photo by tonya doughty

sunday was such a wonderful day, filled with coffee, fried eggs, cookie dough, walks to the park, movies, jammies, friends & yes, s'mores. my good friend chris is in town from manhattan, last week we discussed the idea of making marshmallow & set a date for sunday.

it didn't take long for it to become much more - s'mores from scratch. we started with a simple mallow recipe & a goodie from 101 cookbooks for graham crackers (have i told you how much love i have). after our failed attempt at the marshmallow (quick to the boil & not enough mixing), a product that looked like meat jell-o & tasted like gummy vanilla squares, we found this lovely recipe from epicurean. ta da - we had cups & cups of beautiful fluff that sat & turned into the most beautiful marshmallows. layer it up with the crackers, thursday's ganache - take a creme brulee torch to it & there you go.

i definitely recommend both recipes as the s'mores could be the perfect dessert for any type of event - birthday & dinner parties, baby & bridal showers or the marshmallow squares could make a lovely gift tucked into a canning jar.

bi-monthly recipes

i'm two months into the year & i have to say that i'm steps closer to crossing a few things off that 2009 to do list. i'm 8 lbs into the 10 lb weight loss, have tickets for my european vacation & have my hands in many a new recipe. i highly recommend these:

still dottie recipes - betty crocker cc cookie dough brownies from bakerella

betty crocker chocolate chip cookie dough brownies with a ganache frosting from bakerella. in honor of my birthday tomorrow, i decided to bring these into work along with the usual friday treats. i felt straight out the midwest last night as i assembled these; it almost felt ridiculous.

still dottie recipes - lentil soup from 101 cookbooks

i made this lentil soup a week or so ago & let me tell you - it's made the perfect lunch or side dish most days. another goodie from 101 cookbooks.

it took a hot second, but i just can't get enough of animal collective's merriweather post pavilion. i think i need to stock up on their other stuff now too.

i think that i ventured to teetering bulb via drawn! but can't be sure; either way i'd like to introduce you to this brooklyn based duo, kurt huggins and zelda devon. first, i can't help but throw out a james jean comparison. second, i like it all for a few reasons: the color palettes are gorgeous & moody, the stories being told seem so real, but mostly because it reminds me of bart.

some highlights from my favorite street fashion blogs - garance dore, styleclicker & of course, the sartorialist.
