making Serbian Kolach with Baba for Slava!

making shells / petals

the chickens!

 leaves!

 the dough has risen!

 Baba doing her thing!

 the artful arrangement 

 ta-da! 

ready for church!

My Baba (grandma) and I made this Kolach (Serbian celebration bread for our family saint day, also known as "Slava") the Saturday before our Slava. Watching the bread rise and Baba decorating the bread like a professional were two highlights!

reminiscing about Rome

 can you say Segway tours? all over Rome. 

someday I will return to Rome, own a Vespa, and be effortlessly chic in my heels and helmet while balancing my purse!

sparkly, classic, and bright

glitter holiday cookies = sparkly macarons? yes. 

 

 very similar to my recent camel-coat-with-fur-hood purchase!

I love the pop of brights under a classic trench

shockingly lovely green, beautiful zara evening wear, the hair I dream of, and a skirt I love
