I'm excited to share with you that the fifth installment of the Rose and Ivy Journal, created by my good friend Alison Engstrom, is available (read it here). This magazine is a beautiful compilation of stunning photographs, interesting
articles, divine recipes, great beauty product recommendations, fashion editorials...all
in all, it is one of my favorite online reads (if you live in NY you can now find hard copies!) Reading it feels like a real indulgence of the senses. It inspires me to arrange beautiful flowers, to try new recipes, to travel to beautiful places....I'm sure it will have the same effect on you. Let me give you a sampling of what you might find inside Rose and Ivy.
By this point most of the country is freezing and tired of the cold. Even Dallas has been hit hard this year with cold weather. But I have some great recipes, by Alison from the Rose and Ivy Journal, to help you better survive this cold wave. If you don't know about the Rose Rose and Ivy Journal it is a beautifully curated online magazine covering fashion, food, beauty and design. The latest issue just launched and I was just entranced by it all, but especially drawn to the recipes (as in I have my shopping list ready to go!)
The first recipes are meant to brighten up your day with flavorful lemons and pomelos. Recipes include citrus vanilla bean poundcake with blood orange glaze and lemon shortbread cookies with lemon curd. These recipes (if not the photos) should get you thinking about the tropics and warmer days ahead. The second set of recipes to help you survive these glacial days are of warm cozy soups to comfort you and your family- like roasted winter vegetable soup, potato, leek and broccoli soup, and white bean and kale soup among others (soup recipes here). So, yes the Rose and Ivy Journal has plenty of recipes to carry you through the rest of winter. Alison's beautiful and inviting photography alone will inspire you to get cooking right away. Here are more photos to fire up your taste buds-
I'm so excited to share with you the launch of a new online lifestyle quarterly magazine called Rose and Ivy. It is filled with amazing recipes (like the crepe and blueberry cake pictured above. Doesn't it make you almost want to lick the screen?), fashion editorials, shoppable trends, articles on beauty, and interiors. Rose and Ivy is the brainchild of Alison who was one of my first blog friends. I'm just so proud of her as this project really blends all her loves and talents into this work of art that is Rose and Ivy. This is an impressive labor of love. Her photography and styling are absolutely breathtaking throughout. Come read this first volume that is inspired by still lives- it will elevate your soul.
