Bodum Bistro Toaster.
Bodum’s new Bistro toaster is serious. It has adjustable slots and a built-in warming rack along with all the usuals we expect. I’d buy it just to be pretty counter candy though, the design is a spot on mix of retro and modern. I’ll take the white one, please!

The Daily Eat: Double Cherry Semifreddo.
Double Cherry Semifreddo. Light and creamy Italian-style ice cream that you don’t even need an ice cream maker for! Perfect since, um, I don’t have one.

Win It: oh, hello friend Reminder.
Just a teeny, tiny reminder that you have until next Monday, August 31st at 9am CST to enter the oh, hello friend giveaway! I’m loving reading all of your best friend stories, so I thought I’d share mine with you.
Linnzi and AsherI met Linnzi during the first part of my sophomore year of college. She was the girlfriend of the roommate of the guy I liked. We were both looking for a new roommate and after spending some time hanging out at the guys’ house and their (awful) band practices we decided to move in together. We instantly became best friends and I realized I had found a true kindred spirit in her. Since those days of roommate-y bliss we’ve had our ups and downs for sure, but always bounce back. Now she lives in North Carolina with her amazing husband (the same guy!) and adorable, smart-as-a-whip son. And I just found out last month that she’s expecting again! Although we don’t get to talk nearly as much as I’m sure either of us would like, when we do things just snap right back into place. And to me, well, that’s just what a best friendship is.

Mctega.
Loving the raw quality behind these necklaces by LA-based Mctega. Sarah McLellan and Kristina Ortega create one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by their pre-med/organic chemistry backgrounds. The end result is gorgeous and tough.
