In addition to your very fashionable chefs whites…//things you need to bring

Cherrio lasses!
I’ve been getting a lot of questions on whether or not Le Cordon Bleu supplies you with everything you need to ensure a successful tenure as a student. Answers…
- Kitchen shoes: I found it strange that they didn’t come with the uniform so we all had to hike to the kitchen supply store for [...]

Sin is in, Sweetie//Week 4//Le Cordon Bleu

Holleration GG lovers. I’m a week behind on my posts and I’m sorry but I’ve been either drinking wine, smoking cigarettes, talking about boys, trying on clothes or eating ‘k? Sometimes I do all five things at once so it can get a bit messy.

Proud//Filed under: Things that make me happy

 
I woke up, had coffee, had writers block and missed my yoga class but then I looked at Eater and was very happy and proud to find this article on Elettaria, one year later. Akhtar and Noel are proof that even in the most trying economic times, brains and heart can get you anywhere and [...]

This is really annoying//Filed under: Things I find annoying

UPDATE: Sad face. Bahn Mi officially jumped the shark (in media saturation terms): NYT just came out with this article. I have to say, it’s a good article about my fave sandwich. ilove you Bahn Mi. Don’t change. 
This article is [...]

For the love of Carine//Footage and fotos

By now you know iHeart Carine Roifeld. I’ve hearted her for a long time and am secretly hoping to run into her (Vogue internship here I come). Since I left NYC for Paris I haven’t really caught up on any TV worth noting (Gossip Girl excluded) and just found out that CNN did a piece on [...]
