I love awards season

It gives me an excuse to make treats like these, because of course you must have a special treat while you ogle all the fancy dresses! Crepe recipe here.

A whole jar of jam went into these guys. Can you tell?

Screen Actors Guild 2010

The MVP for this year’s SAG awards goes to Sandra Bullock. She snagged an actor for her role in The Blind Side, introduced Betty White with wit and class, and made one of the sweetest acceptance speeches around. Bonus points for thanking her husband Jesse James in a way that made him look as though he might blush or tear up, or perhaps both! Congratulations Sandra!

Goodnight Conan

 

The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien ends tonight.  I’m sure I speak for many when I say: Conan, we love you, good luck, we will follow you to your next show wherever that might be.

Get your own “I’m with COCO” image and/or t-shirt here. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Haiti relief.

Happy Friday!

Start off the weekend with this cheeky necklace from designer Rachael White!  Can you tell what it is?  Not only pretty but sure to provide hours of entertainment as well!  Get it here.

Martin + Osa Trench

Since weather in the Northeast turns ever so quickly from snowy wonderland to the soggy rain of early spring I am already on the lookout for a trench coat.  I never have a proper coat for those days in the fall and spring when you need something over your outfit but your winter coat is too much, and I’ve decided this year I will finally avail myself of something to bridge that gap. This coat from Martin + Osa is both lovely and affordable.  And if my eyes do not deceive me was worn by Emily Deschanel on a recent episode of Bones.  Take a look here, same coat yes?
