Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld the KING of Chanel has recently 
started designing a lower priced line available in US 
department stores and online shops such as 
Net A Porter and Yoox.  I have become enamored 
of this line.  It totally has the classic Coco Chanel 
feel at really great prices.  I actually met the cutest 
PR girl at an event and she was wearing a Karl 
Lagerfeld chic black blouse..when she told me she 
only paid $60, I knew I had to share this awesome 
secret with you!!!!  Happy Shopping.

Book Club Monday

Today’s Book Club Monday choice is Lucky Boy by Shanthi Sekaran.  This book has been getting rave reviews that it is so powerful and its message stays with you long after you finish reading.  The story goes like this:

Eighteen years old and fizzing with optimism, Solimar Castro-Valdez embarks on a perilous journey across the Mexican border. Weeks later, she arrives in Berkeley, California, dazed by first love found then lost, and pregnant. This was not the plan. Undocumented and unmoored, Soli discovers that her son, Ignacio, can become her touchstone, and motherhood her identity in a world where she’s otherwise invisible.

Kavya Reddy has created a beautiful life in Berkeley, but then she can’t get pregnant and that beautiful life seems suddenly empty. When Soli is placed in immigrant detention and Ignacio comes under Kavya’s care, Kavya finally gets to be the singing, story-telling kind of mother she dreamed of being. But she builds her love on a fault line, her heart wrapped around someone else’s child. 



Nacho” to Soli, and Iggy” to Kavya, the boy is steeped in love, but his destiny and that of his two mothers teeters between two worlds as Soli fights to get back to him. Lucky Boy is a moving and revelatory ode to the ever-changing borders of love.

Martha’s Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
recipe adapted from marthastewart.com



12 Large Eggs (room temperature)


Place eggs in a SINGLE LAYER in a large saucepan (I used my Le Creuset).  Cover them with cool water by 1 inch.  Slowly bring water to a boil over medium heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat.  Let sit for 12 minutes.


Transfer eggs to a colander; place under cool running water to stop the cooking.
