Denim is such a versatile, enduring fabric. It does double-duty for casual workdays and weekend wear, and it’s a year-round layering staple. When it’s a flattering cut and isn’t overly embellished or processed, denim staples have a good, long life. This weekend was sunny but chilly, so I sported a soft denim jacket over a cuffed shirt, skinny-leg cargo jeans, booties, and delicate jewelry pieces.
Looking for a light, summery-type meal that can make you momentarily forget that it’s still winter? This dish – a meaty crab cake crowning a simple and light salad – is temporary escape to an easy-breezy summer on Nantucket Island, with salty air, sandy wood benches, and easy laughter.
I’ve been welcoming sources of bedside relaxation in shades of pale pink and warm red. Serendipitiously (and perhaps subconsciously), it’s a perfect way to herald in the amorous tones of February.
