A weekend, an always of La Dolce Vita
This weekend we're eating mini cannolis and walking around the neighborhood, buoyed by a very close read of The Remnants of La Dolce Vita in Brooklyn’s Italian Williamsburg. Pictured above, local cannolis eaten in the very intensive R&D for our own Holy Cannoli.

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
I went in search of a favorite Chelsea Hotel apartment and found along the way this list I love (full of pre-critical enthusiasm). Also, what a sure hand she had in answering.
The Selby: Hi Sally! What are 4 characteristics of authenticity.
Sally: 1. pre-critical enthusiasm, 2. a sure hand, 3. a touch of myopia , 4. a good heart

My new favorite bodega item.

A BOOK'S WORTH OF FOLDED POTATO CHIPS.
I chain-smoke books. From time to time, though, I hit a rut and nothing sticks. When this happens I like to turn to what Rony calls "literary potato chips." My current bag of literary potato chips is Tina Brown's Vanity Fair Diaries. - the introduction is a slog but then it's one folded chip after the other (my favorite kind).

Our new Fairy Light Supreme, also affectionately known amongst us as the Zaftig Fairy Light, is true to it's name, supremely lovely. It retains all the floating, airborne magic of the Fairy Light, with a little more heft than our original Fairy Light.

You can in fact wear jewelry on your littlest finger. The memory rings we’re known for can double as your pinky stack or for an unexpected punch, try a sized down signet ring.Hiya, baby!
