Perfect Perfect Perfect Holiday Dress

I want this Jay Godfrey silk jersey dress very, very (very) badly. Very badly. I saw it in the window of an Intermix on Thursday, and I wanted it then, and I still want it now. Which means I need to come up with an excuse to buy it in the form of fabulous New Year's Eve plans. Hm.

Try This Tuesday / Happy Cuticles

I have dry skin all year 'round, but starting right about now it gets really, really armadillo-ish. Of course my lips bear the brunt of the seasonal attack, so I stash pots and tubes and sticks of balm in all of my purses, in the bathroom, by the bed...everywhere.

The Perfect Holiday Cookies

By Lilly

This is the recipe I use every year as a staple for pretty much every holiday cookie. They are the perfect butter cookie for Italian wedding cookies, frosted sugar cookies, spritzes…you name it. Every person who eats these asks whose recipe it is. I wish I could take credit (usually my recipes are my own) but they’re from The America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. Tonight I baked up a batch with my son for his school…they don’t celebrate secular holidays, so we stayed neutral by making iced bears, squirrels and porcupines for his preschool class.

*My son cannot have milk so we substitute all dairy with hemp or almond milk and soy butter and the recipe works just as well!
